No holiday, no celebration in Italy is complete without porchetta. Moreover, each hostess has her own recipe and, of course, the best. Garlic, mustard, sweet herbs, lime and a good piece of meat made great friends in this roll. This hearty and delicious meat appetizer is good both hot and cold.
Very tasty savory pie in a rustic style, with a filling of potatoes and soft melted cheese, on a lean shortbread dough. The pie is perfect as a snack or for a tea party. Trying it?
Interesting Spanish version of vegetable stew. According to legend, it was prepared by poor people from the La Mancha region — the birthplace of don Quixote and one of the poorest Spanish provinces (hence the name “Pisto Manchego”). I don’t know what they served for the rich at that time, but it is very tasty, sharply piquant and bright in its variety. And with fried eggs, I assure you, the rich man will taste it for a sweet soul. Recommend.
Fish in crazy water (Pesce all’acqua pazza) – an old dish of the Italian poor. There are two similar theories about this strange name. According to one of them, due to the fact that salt was not affordable for the poor, fishermen began to cook freshly caught fish in a sauce of sea water and wine. According to the second theory, giving most of the wine produced to the landlords, the peasants began to make a certain drink from various remnants of wine production and water. They called it Acqua pazza (crazy water) and from it came the name of the fish. Whatever it was, the dish is simple, and the fish as a result is tender and juicy.
Great recipe – everything is very fast and very tasty! In twenty minutes, you have a sumptuous dish with Oriental notes, hot and spicy – just what you need for cold weather! Trying it?
A very interesting and unusual recipe for those who miss the bright and fragrant Mediterranean cuisine. In fact, this recipe was given to me by a friend with the name “chicken in Italian”. But since I had Provencal herbs at hand, and without a good collection of herbs it would not be so delicious, I renamed the recipe, especially since I also adjusted it for myself. I highly recommend it!
I took the recipe from the book “Georgian cuisine”. A wonderful appetizer of eggplant with walnuts and aromatic spices. Very tasty, flavorful and satisfying!
Cooking is very simple, but it turns out-a hearty, spicy and soft pie! If you need to save time on cooking, this pie is a good option! To prepare this recipe, you do not need to knead the dough, it will be successfully replaced by puff yeast dough.
