Another favorite at Santa Chiara was chocolate salami. We got dessert (rather than fruit) on Wednesday and Sunday nights and cheers would literally erupt in the dining room when we saw them carrying out trays of chocolate salami. We were fascinated by how simple it was and could never really figure out how it was made.
Toast up chopped nuts and biscotti (crush your biscotti smaller than this if you want your salami to form better and slice easier).
I love aprons, but I usually forget to put them on until I am done cooking. Except when chocolate...or tomato sauce...is involved. I am notorious for getting chocolate all over me.
