Ingredients

gr of lampascioni
extra
virgin olive oil

and pepper
After
having cleaned lampascioni, wash them with water.
It
would be better to leave them in the water for a whole night to eliminate the
excess of bitter in the taste and the day after clean them again. Boil them in
salted hot water till they are cooked.
Drain
them well. Serve them hot with oil, pepper (if you want even some vinegar) and
slices of home made bread.
