Tagliata di Manzo with Piadina Emiliana

Mains

Piadina is the quintessential street food of Emilia Romagna – a flatbread used to make delicious folded, warm sandwiches. We make our dough with olive oil instead of the more traditional lard, which make our piadina beautifully soft and aromatic.

Summertime cooking

On a stifling summer's day you need little more than a few ingredients to make a sumptuous meal. Perfectly cooked steak, a few handfuls of rocket, shaved parmesan, and fluffy Piadina Emiliana. WIth a slightly thicker texture than Golden Durum Wheat Piadina, Piadina Emiliana are flakier in texture and perfect for holding a substantial filling like steak. Simply top them with your ingredients, fold in half, slice and enjoy!

So, it is time to fire up your grill or barbecue and enjoy one of Italy's many delicacies; Tagliata di Manzo with Piadina Emiliana.
