Cooperation with Casa Firelli

These little pumpkin bruschetta are a taste explosion! Crispy pan-fried bread, a hint of garlic, rich and buttery roasted Hokkaido squash, sweet and tangy pomegranate tendrils, aromatic basil and a spicy umami hot sauce!

Italian brand Casa Firelli have provided their delicious hot sauce* for me to be creative with.

It is handcrafted in Parma and made of Italian ingredients including Calabrian chilies, roasted red peppers, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and porcini mushrooms. It’s medium spicy, just enough to add a little kick to your food.
