SMOKED EEL Carbonara

Here we have a recipe by the famous german cook Cornelia Poletto from the city of Hamburg. She is well-known on german TV and has a german-italian Restaurant. Eel is very traditional in Hamburg, so this is the best of both worlds. Of course, in Italy they would never mix fish with cheese, but its a german-italian recipe.

Fair to say my version was not perfect, the eggs scrambled a little bit. Anyway very tasty this Hanseatic Carbonara.
