Truffled Grissini
“These grissini (thin bread sticks) with prosciutto and white truffle butter are delicious, luxurious and easy to make,” says Luke Palladino, chef/owner of Luke Palladino restaurant in Northfield. “Even if you do not have a baker who produces fresh grissini, many grocery stores have a wide selection. These are my most requested antipasti ever. Serve them with a chilled glass of prosecco or Champagne and enjoy.”
