Pesta il basilico nel mortaio e ponvi del pepe e distempera con l'agresta. Questo savore e buono con ogni arrosto e ova lesse: e mancando questo, abbi melarance, citrangole o limoni. Sauce for Roasts: Pound basil in the mortat and add pepper and mix with verjuice. This sauce is good with all roasts and boiled eggs; and failing verjuice, use orange or lemon juice. |
