Pinzimonio

Pinzimonio is more a ritual than a snack or an aperitif. When I was a child, I remember my dad making pinzimonio in the evening, sitting at the table, and unwind from the day while dipping raw vegetable sticks into this flavorful dip. Now, whenever I have extra vegetables, I cut them into into sticks and store them in the fridge for when I feel like having a healthy snack before I start preparing dinner.
