I was in serious danger of making something gross when I was pulling out ingredients for this salad. We had a ton of tiny leftovers. Do you ever get a fridge full of these? The four bites left of something that you can’t bring yourself to throw away–then regret having later as they fill your fridge to the gills?
One of my favorite pizzas in Italy was the Quattro Stagioni (”Four Seasons”). It’s the ultimate commitmentphobe’s pizza! Four separate flavors in one pizza, with each segment of the pizza representing a season.
Tiny leftovers lend themselves to quattro stagioni–or quattro something, anyway. What’s the Italian word for scraps?
