caprese
Nothing is faster to prepare, fresh and tasty to eat as a good CAPRESE, especially for a summer lunch. Also at this time of year tomatoes are delicious and the basil is abundant. I started to collect the first cherry tomatoes from my vegetable garden and feel the taste of a freshly picked [...]
watermelon and feta cheese salad
Just over a year ago, I saw a recipe for a salad made with watermelon and feta. I remember very well thinking …., MAMMA MIA strange mix. Then last week , this recipe came back in my mind and I thought to do a little research on the [...]
crispy fried vegetable
Clearly all this time my zucchini continue to grow. I’ve already had enough to freeze a couple of bags , simply cut into cubes. With the others i made a new version of Parmigiana, in which I substituted eggplants for zucchini and have frozen these too. But, to my delight, in [...]
tonnarelli and green beans pesto
Time for green beans!! Even with these I think I have exaggerated. I planted 20 plants and so now I have to create some ‘recipes. Talking with the ladies of Allerona, just to be safe, I have checked a bit ‘about the possibility of freezing some of the beans, [...]
capunata
Scusate, I apologize . When I started this blog, I thought to share the joys of living in the country with you, but unfortunately there is another side to the coin … .. the ingredients in the kitchen are almost always decided by what’s in season. So ladies and gentleman, today for your [...]
stuffed zucchini
Zucchini, eggplant and stuffed tomatoes are dishes that are used often in Mediterranean cooking. I had the pleasure of eating zucchini and stuffed tomatoes in Greece and I must say that they were very good . Now this is a recipe that, like many others in my blog came to me, passed [...]
spinach and smoked tuna terrine
It ‘s spinach time! The spinach harvest in my garden was excellent. Although I had the same problem I have with the salad … .. they’re all ready at the same time! But this is not a big problem, because the beauty of spinach is that you can also [...]
bruschetta with tomatoes
Bruschetta with tomatoes is certainly one of those dishess that, I believe , represents Italy. Bruschetta seems like a simple thing to do, and in reality it is, but you must be extremely careful with a few things. 1: The bread must be Casareccio bread, baked in a wood oven, [...]
carciofi alla romana
Fourth row of the vineyard, another 3 artichokes ready to be picked! So to continue on the theme of missing Rome, I thought to do even the artichokes in the Roman way, Carciofi alla romana. In this way, even if spread out over several days, I had a full Roman meal. Stuffed Zucchini flowers [...]
zucchini flowers
This dish I could not live without . I have spoken to you before about these delicious zucchini flowers cook in the Roman way. Now that my vegetable garden is filled with zucchini , I think it’s the right time to do it. Each region has it’s own way to cook [...]
finger food of Cacio e Pepe
In Italy we say – NON TUTTE LE CIAMBELLE ESCONO CON L BUCO – which literally means – not all donuts come with a hole in the middle. The meaning is obviously, that things do not always come out as you wish. Do you have this saying, in [...]
lasagna express
This is one of those brilliant ideas that gave me so much satisfaction. In the afternoon I went to my local supermarket to buy something for dinner. I am sure that this happens to you too , there are evenings when you do not know what to eat, you do not want [...]
cook grilled peppers
I love peppers, but unfortunately over the years, I discovered that like raw garlic ( served in the typical bruschetta, with olive oil and salt) I find them a bit ‘indigestible. Could it be an age thing? I don’t know, but considering that I like them so much, I found [...]
me and my friends Rosanna, Umberto, Erminia and Silvana
Sunday evening I went home exhausted, but fell asleep smiling.
Let’s start from the beginning, as I had already mentioned in Saturday’s blog, this weekend my adopted village of Allerona was celebrating S.Isidoro the patron saint of farmers. This year for the first time I had [...]
humus
Eventually I decided to cut the grass, so I donned my very fashionable work clothes and armed with the strimmer started to cut … …., and here we are.. the wires in the strimmer sent a small stone with great speed against the glass of my car and BBHHOOMMM. Believe me I was [...]
