Salmoriglio is an ancient, Italian marinade and dressing. Thanks to its sour, lemony flavor it helps to tenderize fish, meats, and vegetables giving them a delicious taste! Here, the history and the recipe.
ITALIAN SALSA VERDE (parsley green sauce recipe)
Italian salsa verde is a traditional sauce originally served along with boiled meats and fish, but merely spread on bread crostini and pecorino cheese is so good as well! The traditional recipe wants white vinegar, but I prefer to use the juice and the peels of a lemon. In this way, the taste of the salsa verde will be more delicate!
ASPARAGUS DIP with Dijon mustard and white pepper
This asparagus dip is very simple, incredible fast to make and soo good! I love combine the intense taste of asparagus with the sourly flavor of Dijon mustard. Served with chips or nachos this dip is great for a party, but it’s perfect also aside grilled meats!
CROSTINI POLENTA RECIPE, great with cheese and meats
This crostini polenta recipe is very simple and perfect for parties and gatherings! Traditionally the polenta crostini are shaped squared, but you can reduce them into the shape you prefer. They pair perfectly with melted cheese, but with grilled vegetables or meats as well.
ROSEMARY FLATBREAD with olive oil (Italian focaccia)
Rosemary flatbread is a Tuscan specialty! In Italy it is called “focaccia” or “schiacciata”. Coarse salt is essential to obtain the characteristic taste and texture. The Italian tradition requires adbundant olive oil. For this reason the quality of the oil is essential to obtain a great “schiacciata”. I love load my rosemary flatbread with cheese, baked vegetables or cured meats, but it is delicious simply plain as well!
SAUTEED CREAMY MUSHROOMS with milk and mustard
Creamy mushrooms with milk and mustard sauce is a tasty side or appetizer. I like serving this mushrooms with meats and salmon steaks, or as a party dish eating them with toothpicks! The sauce made with milk have to be thick and creamy. Mustard powder, and white pepper, and fresh parsley give a special touch at this easy recipe!
ITALIAN MASHED POTATOES – Puré all’italiana
Everyone likes the mashed potatoes! Today I propose a recipe from my family, the Italian mashed potatoes. The main characteristic of this recipe is the total absence of lumps, and Its smooth and creamy taste. To obtain a puree in this way is essential to sift the peeled potatoes throughout a good mill. To make my mashed potatoes even more delicious I added grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and white pepper. If you want, you can replace it with another type of grated cheese, the important thing is that it melts and amalgams easy and fast with the puree.
