200 g very light chicken broth

60 g grated Pecorino Romano

5gr edible roses

10gr black pepper from Madagascar

30gr of extra virgin olive oil

pass filter.

The sauce

Slightly heat the olive oil in a pan, add the pepper previously ground with a mortar and finally add the broth we prepared earlier.
