  1. MELON’ MOUSSE WITH SALAD

    21 October 2013 // flaviabi

    We do not like to make the usual ham and melon, so we re-invent varie 1 003it:

    for 4 people

     

    half a melon

    three tablespoons of vodka

    two teaspoons of brown sugar

    Tabasco

    salt

    extra virgin olive oil

    12 sticks of ham

    endive

    rocket

    cabbage

    julienne carrots

    Cut the melon into cubes and marinate with vodka, brown sugar, a few drops of Tabasco, and a pinch of salt, for about 1 hour in the refrigerator. After marinating blend the melon and when it is reduced to a puree let it drain in a colander until it lost its liquid. Prepare the 4 separate salads and seasoned to your taste (I recommend soy, balsamic vinegar and olive oil), and put them in layers in a cup. Put two tablespoons of mousse on top and garnish with a few sticks of ham.

  6. TORTA AL TESTO…. what a passion!

    30 March 2011 // flaviabi

    torta-al-testo-con-prosciutto[1]

    Questa ricettta la pubblico con piacere perchè Erica, la dolce bimba,  me la richiede, in memoria delle grandi mangiate fatte insieme alla Romita!

    Ingredients:
    500 gr. flour
    50 ml. Extra virgin olive oil
    60 gr. Pecorino cheese
    25 gr. yeast
    Water (as it may need)
    salt
    Place the flour as a fountain  and pour in the middle, oil, the pecorino  cheese cut with a knife and the yeast, already melted in half a glass of warm water. Mix until mixture is smooth and homogeneous. Let it rise for at least an hour, then roll out with rolling pin to obtain a circular sheet with a thickness of 2 cm and the diameter of the “testo” (testo is what you see in the picture: it is in our day-to-disc metal, but in the past was a volcanic rock that was heated on the fire in the fireplace). Roll out the dough on the stove heated above text, (if you do not have testo- and it may be possible!!-use a pan with oiled paper) practice holes with a fork and cook on both sides 5-7 minutes per side. When cooked, fill it as you like …. I do suggest you to fill it with ham (when it is still hot), or stewed meat, or rucola and cheese, or cooked vegetables (even better if it is wild chicory!)
