Had an interesting appy yesterday at one of the wineries - bocci, a round of bread dough wrapped around a meatball and a little cheese and marinara sauce. It's served warmed with more marinara sauce served over. If they'd made a better marinara sauce this would have been wonderful. Sure worth playing with.
This bocci is very like Beerox (bierox) that I've been making for years, but the filling is burger (w/a little sausage), cabbage, onions, seasonings wrapped in a bread round. Before we knew much about cholesterol and all that cr*p, the beirox top was dipped in bacon grease and baked on a b. sheet schmeared with a little more bacon grease - absolutely delicious!
Has anyone heard of Bocci? I can see where it got it's name, 'bocce' in Italian means 'cup' so stands to reason. But, it surprised me that no recipes show up on a search.
This drink is the only recipe I could come up with googling "bocci recipe" -
