A representative dish of Abruzzo is the well known Bocconotti, made in the traditional manner of Abruzzo using fresh eggs, almonds, olive oil, lemons and grape preserves.
In order to enhance its flavor, the delicacy is typically accompanied by a refreshing glass of the local red wine. Sometimes they are served with vino cotto. Visitors to Casale often make a trip to Montorio al Vomano to sample this sought after delicacy.
The owners of the Italian Kitchen in Pennsville, NJ along with the Roman Pantry in Penns Grove, NJ have been known to make this dish for family members who come to visit from Valle Soprana and Valle San Giovanni in Abruzzo Italy.
