I love chicken involtini. Well, to be honest I love all involtini, especially when they are filled with cheese! I am always looking for different stuffing. In this case, I filled the rolls with Fontina cheese and smokey Italian Speck. I then cooked them with peas and a little bit of cream – mainly to…
Chicken Involtini with Prosciutto and Fontina

BAKED SWORDFISH INVOLTINI
I must admit I am not a huge fish lover. Well, actually that is not exactly true as there is a lot of fish that I do enjoy eating, but the majority of it is very hard to find around here! So, I tend to eat mainly salmon or swordfish, which have always come to…
