Blame it on Alessio 😉 Italians and their wide variety of meats are something to behold. Truly delicious! The variations I have included here are a quick and easy way of making something seriously good, looking great and making you wanting some more! So take a little trip to your nearest Italian shop and start exploring! Let the feast begin!
