Description

Eels with pecorino are a simple and tasty main course typical of the city of Cagliari, where they are called “comunedda”. This dish was created to make use of small eels, which are considered less valuable. They are delicious when served warm, and perhaps one of the few occasions where cheese pairs delightfully with fish. Try our recipe to experience this unusual combination.
