Dish
Capesante in salsa di zafferano
Capesante in salsa di zafferano is made by searing fresh scallops in a hot pan until they are golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside. The scallops are then simmered in a rich and creamy sauce made with saffron, white wine, and butter. The result is a dish that is both elegant and comforting, with a delicate balance of flavors that is sure to impress. This dish is best served with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Origins and history
Capesante in salsa di zafferano is a classic Italian seafood dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. The dish originated in Venice, where fresh seafood is abundant and saffron is a popular spice. The saffron gives the dish its distinctive yellow color and adds a subtle floral flavor that complements the sweetness of the scallops.
