Fritto Misto
Description
Suitable both for a holiday and for everyday. The frying oil is ready when you drop dry vermicelli into it and bubbles start forming on its surface. Make sure the oil does not start to burn. The ingredients will take on an unpleasant smell, burn on the outside, but remain raw inside. You can use any vegetables, as well as small boneless fish, shrimp, squid, octopus tentacles, and mussels. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
