[Johnna Holloway]

CVIII. Torta de faxolli freschi.

Toli li faxoli e fali coxere con la panza
del porcho, poy pesta li faxoli in mortaro e
la panza con cortello, poy mitige le meiore
specie che poy avere e mitige tanto formazo
che sia la mità o almen el terzo del altro
batuto, e mitige lardo vechio e fay la torta
ed è perfettissima.
