Il Bastone will feature these offerings at our Oakton and Gainesville markets April 9 and 10.
Veggie Corn Empanada
Sweet corn, sautéed onions and red peppers, garlic, and melted mozzarella cheese in a light Béchamel sauce. These turnovers are a complete meal in one and pair well with white wines.
Vermut e Formaggio Sausage
Beef & pork sausage with a noticeable presence of Martini & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth and Pecorino Romano cheese, lots of basil, parsley, and a dab of tomato paste. The complex and sharp flavor comes from the cheese itself, which is made from sheep’s milk and has the consistency of Parmesan cheese. The addition of the vermouth with its herbal characteristics strongly accents the overall taste of this cooking sausage. Due to its high aromatic concentration it is recommended that it be eaten as part of a sauce or stew.
