Someone needs to correct the per serving nutritional info. It is way off. This sodium amount is off the charts for something with no added salt. Plus the protein is way off as well. No way are you getting 63 grams of protein in a single serving. Please recheck and correct this. All of the stats are overestimated. I am cooking this tonight and will be keeping track of everything that is in each serving so I can gage a correct estimate of nutritional facts

Hey my family is Sicilian and brought spedini to the New World a century ago. Spedini in our family is always made with pork and not beef. Again the meat is thinly sliced and made into little pockets filled with the bread crumb mixture and either broiled in the oven or roasted over the outdoor fire. Amazing and delicious.

This was good - however, there were a few things I would like to point out. The oil/garlic mixture made too much; the breadcrumb mixture was way too dry so I added the extra oil/garlic mixture to it; I had a lot of breadcrumb mixture left and had to throw it out. Other than those things, the end result was good but now outstanding compared to the time/effort. It was a nice dish for something different. Thanks for sharing

I live in Southeastern Wisconsin and besides a busy family life with 3 kids (17, 13, 10) and all their activities, my husband and I own an Engineering company where we host many visitors for lunch on occasion. I love to try new recipes on my family and employees, with usually good results.
