Featured Recipe — Lucky Lucci Lentil Soup With Grano
My father, Carl Orlando, is 100% Sicilian and, as such, is very much into food. He took a recipe that I had and added his own flair and Italian style to create a soup "like my mother used to make". It is really good and harkens back to the simplicity and wholesomeness of the old days in the Sicilian countryside where my grandparents grew up. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does. Va bene!
