BUN with vegetable sauce, pecorino cheese, Parma ham and eggplant in oil
A distinct identity, an unmistakable flavor, and a fundamental task: the bun is as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat. But beneath its soft, golden exterior lies an important hidden quality: the ability to hold its shape and texture even when loaded with layers of toppings and sauces. It is not uncommon to find it already cut in half, ready to help us make perfect burgers. Sweet and ultra-soft, with a gently amber color as if it had been toasted by the sun, the bun’s origin—like many gastronomic legends—is shrouded in mystery. But whether it originated in the kitchen of an Oklahoma restaurant or in a fast food chain in the heart of Kansas doesn't matter much after all. What matters is the path that led it to be an undisputed icon, both in form and flavor.
Our bun with vegetable sauce, pecorino cheese, Parma ham, and eggplant in oil is super easy to prepare. It’s quick, colorful, and captures the essence of homemade goodness with the indulgence of a restaurant-worthy burger. Enjoy it solo or with sides, in solitude or with friends—it’s bound to bring a little magic to even the most ordinary day.
