Lidia's Kitchen

Party Favorites

Italians love entertaining and celebrating life with family, friends, and food. Today, Lidia shares recipes that fit any kind of party. She starts with stewed savory peppers, a delicious antipasto, especially when served with lots of grilled or toasted bread. Next, she makes pear bellini, a fruity and bubbly cocktail guests can sip on while enjoying antipasti; and who doesn't love fried balls of rice? Lidia shows viewers how to make rice balls with sausage ragu.
