N.079 - ’E Sciurill

When their season arrives, to be honest, it’s rare that pizzelle di sciurilli actually make it to the table. Whoever is in charge of frying them must also make sure that, in a brief moment of distraction, no one steals them one by one. It’s usually easy to catch the culprit, though, since the impatient ones tend to bite into them while still piping hot, immediately giving themselves away with loud cries of pain. Purple and lilac dominate the background, forming a checkered pattern reminiscent of a tablecloth, while the pure white of the plates stands out. The zucchini flowers, with their shades from light green to bright orange and yellow, are carefully arranged in a star-like pattern. The fried pizzelle, golden and slightly browned, suggest crispness and flavor.
