Pesce al cartoccio is an Italian dish that translates to 'fish in parchment'. It is a flavorful and healthy way to cook fish, as it steams in its own juices along with herbs, vegetables, and a splash of white wine. The fish becomes tender and moist, infused with the aromatic flavors of the ingredients. This dish is not only delicious but also visually appealing, as it is served in a parchment paper pouch that is opened at the table, releasing a burst of enticing aromas.
