The onion in the battuto
Juls’ Kitchen’s Visit Tuscany recipe uses one small red onion, finely chopped with carrot and celery. The vegetables soften in olive oil before the chicken livers are added.
Our suggestion: follow the recipe’s onion choice. Red onion alone does not establish the protected origin of Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP.
