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.

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

There must be some way to increase the number of servings, or to lighten the recipe in some other way. The Nutritional Facts are shocking! Serving it with pasta adds even more calories.
