an italian cook around the world
The Salmon en Papillote is a quick and easy way to cook and serve healthy fish! The Papillote technique is very ancient and popular in various parts of the world. The food is wrapped and steamed in the oven preserving the flavors and the taste: delicious!
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.
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!
The idea for this risotto came to me a few years ago when I was still living in Bologna. I wanted to combine the classic tradition of risotto with something different, using both meat and fish (which in Italy is not very common). The result was excellent: every time I prepare it, it is a success, both with Italians and friends from other countries. Crispy bacon goes well with the softness of the salmon and the sweetness of the pepper; saffron completes the whole and allows the risotto to become creamy.
