And that’s how the wife of the captain does it
For this dish, I don’t use a simple black pepper, but a special pepper mixture called “Jahreszeiten Gewürz” which means season’s seasoning of a German spice specialist called “Altes Gewürzamt”. This is my absolute favorite spice with tomatoes. It is a sort of pepper (piper nigrum) in five different processing stages. Steaks and tomatoes? Only with good salt and Jahreszeiten Gewürz, nothing else.

Well, if we can’t go to Venice, we’ll do the cicchetti at home.
