Folks in Lecce don’t sit down for dinner until about 9 p.m. and so Paolo and I popped into one of his favorite downtown bars and had a little merendina.
The rustico (above) is a savory pastry dough stuffed with — get this — mozzarella, béchamel, and cherry tomatoes… Unbelievable…
Rustico, where have you been all my life???!!!
Do Bianchi 
Very much like ‘calzoni al forno’ in Palermo… But we add some ham as well :)
This is the ultimate hangover dish; especially when the stomach is just burning. It is also lovely to prepare for a day of coffee and wine.
