&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Do you remember the &lt;a href="http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/search/label/tuscan%20recipes"&gt;crostini neri&lt;/a&gt;? The ones made with chicken liver?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Well, today I’ll show you another version: these are made only with spleen.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Obviously you can make Tuscan crostini with chicken livers and spleen together, to soften the strong and intense taste of spleen.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;These crostini are typical of my area, we made often them , especially since my aunt Teresa gave us an infallible and reviewed recipe. It is today’s recipe!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I know, I know you’re used to my Wednesday’s pastoral stories, grandma’s childhood, relatives and ancestors, traditional sayings and Tuscan countryside… but if I had to describe this recipe through some shots, I would run the risk to repeat Tarantino’s &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Kill Bill&lt;/span&gt; as regards colours and style!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Clean the spleen in my kitchen is the most similar thing to O-ren Ishii’s band bloodbath committed by the Bride, really!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Mum with a spoon in her hands, a huge white apron and latex gloves is Dario Argento’s worth!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;But let’s hit the recipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3623/3631579421_1c780e914c.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3623/3631579421_1c780e914c.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;beef spleen, 300 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;medium onion, 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;carrot, 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;celery, 1 stalk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;parsley, 1 tuft&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;garlic, 1 clove&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;vinegard capers, 1 large tablespoon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;red wine, 1 glass&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;tomato sauce, qb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;anchovy paste, qb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;(salt)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;extra virgin olive oil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;First and foremost, the spleen.&lt;br /&gt;Wear latex gloves if you don’t want to resemble a country vet up to a calf birth. Extract the pulp from the spleen by scraping it with a largo tablespoon so that the pulp meat comes out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Mince carrot, celery, parsley, garlic and onion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Warm a large tablespoon of olive oil in a non stick pan and sauté all the minced vegetables.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;When they are soft and well sauté, add spleen pulp and stir until it gets brown and it’s cooked through.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;This is the moment to add a glass of red wine: let it reduce and add a bit of tomato sauce to redden the sauce. Now, remove from the heat and add the minced capers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;What about tastiness? Don’t dare adding salt! As for the other &lt;a href="http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/search/label/tuscan%20recipes"&gt;Tuscan crostini&lt;/a&gt;, we’ll reach the right tastiness adding anchovy paste.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;So, add little by little some anchovy paste and whip the sauce, tasting each time to find the right tastiness.

Il termine arabo za'atar si riferisce ad alcune piante locali della famiglia delle Lamiaceae, tra le quali maggiorana, origano e timo. E' una mistura di spezie tradizionalmente composta da timo, sesamo e sale. Ma può anche includere origano, cumino, semi di finocchio, santoreggia, maggiorana, sommacco, issopo. Come per molte miscele orientali di spezie ogni famiglia ha la ricetta.

Some varieties may add savory, cumin, coriander or fennel seed. A Lebanese variety of Za'atar usually contains sumac berries, and has a distinct dark red color.

A teaspoon of mashed garlic poured into his coffee and milk each and every morning!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Uncel Beppe was married with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Aunt Casilde&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;. They dind’t have children, so they adopted granny as favourite niece. They used to go to grandma's house in the countryside and take her to their home in town for a while.

Mi porto dietro il calore della gente, la loro cortesia e simpatia, l'ospitalità da Magna Gracia che ti fa sentire subito a casa. Mi porto dietro le distese di olivi a perdita d'occhio e Castel del Monte che torreggia da lassù, mentre si staglia maestoso nel cielo turchese.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A furia di portarmi dietro tanti ricordi, mi son detta: torniamoci!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;E quindi ecco che io, la Romi (la mia collega, amica e ora ufficialmente anche sorella per il rivenditore di scarpe di Minervino Murge) ed Alessandro, il ragazzo della Romi, siamo andati a passare un ponte lungo ad Andria, a trovare alcuni amici conosciuti per lavoro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Innazi tutto un grazie enorme e di cuore a Fabio, Giusy e Gianni e alle loro splendide famiglie per averci fatti sentire a casa ed in famiglia ad Andria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Poi andiamo con ordine...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;DAY 1. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.arteandria.it/main.html"&gt;B&amp;amp;B ARTE'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; - ve lo consiglio assolutamente.

Un grazie particolare alla Signora Pasqua, la zia di Giusy, che mi ha anche raccontato come cuoce i fagioli ed i ceci nei cocci accanto alla brace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I fagioli richiedono 1 ora e mezzo, i ceci 3 ore. Devono essere conditi con sale, aglietto fresco, pomodorini e una foglia di alloro. L'olio - pugliese - riogorosamente a crudo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Poi li abbiamo anche assaggiati: i più buoni mai provati prima!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Accanto ai legumi tantissime altre cose, non ultime le mandorle (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;amell'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;) alla fine del pasto, che puliscono la bocca e preparano ai dolcetti, e le ciliegie ferrovia raccolte da Gianni la mattina stessa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Io sono astemia, lo premetto, ma a fine pasto il simpaticissimo babbo di Giusy mi ha convinta a bere un dito di Amaro di Padre Peppe - 43° - che praticamente mi ha fatta digerire di botto!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Per smaltire, la sera passeggiata a Trani.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3369/3595270776_b0431ea924.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3369/3595270776_b0431ea924.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;DAY 3.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Gita a Minervino Murge - Il Balcone della Puglia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2454/3594464139_9d8cc387d8.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 465px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2454/3594464139_9d8cc387d8.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Minervino Murge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;incastonato sui colli della Murgia, ha una vista mozzafiato che spazia dal mare al Gargano, al Tavoliere, al Vulture (Melfi, paese di orgine di mio nonno, è a solo mezz'ora di strada). Il paesino è molto particolare, tutto bianco, in alcuni momenti deserto.

Beh, ufficialmente, perché poi c'è stata la frutta, buona, abbondante e fresca, non un ripiego come a volte succede, e i dolcetti di pasta di mandorle per concludere. E poi il limoncello, il rosolio di foglie di rosa ed un'altro amaro... anche stavolta ci siamo alzati stanchissimi e veramente soddisfatti!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Insomma, è chiaro perché amo la Puglia? Purtroppo il brutto tempo ci ha impedito di andare al mare.. dovremo rimediare presto, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;P.S.

So I closed my eyes and I started thinking at granny: granny baking something sweet, making something to cuddle me, to strengthen me (as a child, believe me or not, I was skinny!), to conquer my greedy child heart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;So I came across my birthday cakes, soft sponge cake filled with custard crème and chocolate, or zuppa inglese, my favourite sweet thing during child tea time in winter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Then the sweet and delicate flavour of apple fritters came into my mind: granny used to make them when I was a little child, when I used to sleep next to the stove, when I was ill at home from school, wrapped in a woolly blanket.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;They used to be our comfort food since my father told me he always had apple fritters when, as a child, he was ill at home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3642/3591135387_03bd01c405.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 599px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3642/3591135387_03bd01c405.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;No wonder at all: just eggs and apples, you surely have them in a country house, don’t you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;When my sister was a child, we changed cake since her favourite one was a rolled thin sponge cake with custard crème: what a fun and chatty little girl, but sooo picky!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;And so, after many years, granny and I decided to make them again, our apple fritters… and I suddenly found myself a child, wrapped in a heavy woolly blanket, cuddled by my grandma with hugs and sweet things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3567/3591939724_b5890fcb2d.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3567/3591939724_b5890fcb2d.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;::::: APPLES FRITTERS :::::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Golden apples, 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;egg, 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;flour, 2 tablespoons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;beer, 2 tablespoons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;salt, 1 pinch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;extra virgin olive oil, 1 just under a tablespoon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;icing sugar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;olive oil to fry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Whip the egg in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, flour, extra virgin olive oil and beer: if needed, add a tablespoon of water to make a smooth but not too liquid batter.

The right moment to fry the apples is when the oil starts to smoke, as grandma says.

Un giorno non ci è bastato, ci siamo dovute tornare anche il giorno dopo, e quello dopo ancora, attratte dai colori, dai profumi, dalla vivacità del posto e dalla cortesia della gente. Abbiamo mangiato di tutto nell'ordine dettato dal caso... smoothies rinfrescanti, pizza con il chorizo, spiedini di pollo e poi di nuovo macedonia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Avevamo anche deciso di trasferirci definitivamente lì, magari in un appartamentino in affitto, tipo Casa Bathllo, ah ah!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SPc1dhlMe0I/AAAAAAAACes/W5R4FMGM06A/07.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 300px;" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SPc1dhlMe0I/AAAAAAAACes/W5R4FMGM06A/07.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SPc1WEfy8RI/AAAAAAAACd8/6BdDcddf6XA/10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SPc1WEfy8RI/AAAAAAAACd8/6BdDcddf6XA/10.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Insomma, sull'onda di questi splendidi ricordi, Claudia mi ha chiesto di farle le polpettine di baccalà che avevamo mangiato a Barcellona il nostro primo giorno. Con l'avanzo del toscanissimo baccalà alla fiorentina ecco quindi nascere le crocchette di baccalà e patate, perfette per essere usate come &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;tapas&lt;/span&gt;!.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;::::: CROCCHETTE DI BACCALA' E PATATE :::::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3615/3565650425_cba301139e.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 598px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3615/3565650425_cba301139e.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Ingredienti per 20 polpettine:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;baccalà ammollato, 200 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;patate, 300 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;uovo, 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;pangrattato, 2 - 3 cucchiai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;aglio, 1/2 spicchio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;prezzemolo tritato abbondante&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;sale qb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;olio per friggere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;La procedura è estremamente semplice.&lt;br /&gt;Lessa il baccalà in acqua senza sale fino a che non è morbido.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Lessa anche le patate precedentemente sbucciate e fatte a cubetti in acqua salata, questa volta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Una volta cotte, schiacchia bene le patate con la forchetta ed uniscici il baccalà ridotto in piccoli pezzettini.

Nessuna!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quindi approfittando della sua assenza ho tentato la sorte... e visto che la sorte aiuta gli audaci, questo è il risultato!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3585/3542243550_cb829231ba.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 332px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3585/3542243550_cb829231ba.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;::::: TORTA DI ROSE ALLE NOCCIOLE:::::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;La ricetta è presa direttamente dal &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.cookaround.com/yabbse1/showthread.php?t=9094"&gt;forum di Cookaround&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, ho fatto solo piccolissime modifiche, soprattutto per quello che riguarda il ripieno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3232/3542243766_6d0bc2cd70.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3232/3542243766_6d0bc2cd70.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Ingredienti per l'impasto:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;farina bianca, 250 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;manitoba, 250 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;lievito di birra, 1 cubetto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;zucchero, 100 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;uova, 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;burro, 80 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;latte tiepido, 125 - 150 ml&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;vanillina, 1 bustina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;sale, 1 cucchiaio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;scorza di un limone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Ingredienti per la farcitura:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;burro, 50 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;zucchero, 100 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;nocciole, 100 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;In un recipiente ampio fai la fontana con la farina. Aggiungi nel centro zucchero, sale, vanillina, uova, scorza di limone e burro fuso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Comincia ad impastare gradualmente. Scalda il latte (deve essere solo tiepido) e facci sciogliere dentro il lievito. Aggiungilo gradualmente all'impasto e continua ad impastare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Servirà del tempo, almeno dieci minuti, per ottenere un impasto sodo ed elastico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A quel punto mettilo a lievitare in un posto caldo per un'ora e mezzo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Mentre lievita prepara la farcitura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Monta il burro con lo zucchero ed aggiungi le nocciole tritate grossolanamente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Dopo circa un'ora e mezzo l'impasto dovrebbe essere raddoppiato di volume.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Provate ad immaginare con quale ansia sono andata a sbirciare la pasta, pensando di trovare il collasso della materia... e invece no! ta daaaan! era lì, il doppio di prima, soffice, profumata e lievitata. Ho registrato nella mia memoria questo come il primo momento di gloria della giornata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Bene, prendi questo piccolo capolavoro lievitato e stendilo su una spianatoia fino ad avere sfoglia di circa 35 x 50 cm. Aiutati con un mattarello ed un po' di farina e cerca di dare una forma il più regolare possibile alla sfoglia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Spalma la farcitura sulla sfoglia e arrotola la pasta su se stessa, sul lato più lungo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A questo punto taglia il rotolo formando tanti cilindretti: cerca di farli regolari. A me ne sono venuti soltanto 10...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ricopri una teglia (meglio con cerniera) di carta da forno bagnata e strizzata e disponi i cilindretti nella tortiera, lasciando un po' di spazio tra l'uno e l'altro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Lascia lievitare per almeno un'altra mezz'ora.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Trova un modo per impegare questo tempo di angoscia pazzesca: io ho fatto una passeggiata con nonna e Claudia. Nonna, proverbiale ottimista, mi ha detto: vedrai che ora non ti lievita!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;E invece no! ta daaan! i rotolini di pasta ripieni erano ulteriormente lievitati, andando a toccarsi l'uno con l'altro. Altra polaroid mentale di un momento di gloria domestica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Commento di nonna: se lo bruci lo senti! con questo voleva esprimere il concetto che, una volta che mi era lievitato qualcosa, avrei dovuto avere cento occhi per evitare che mi si carbonizzasse vanificando tutti gli sforzi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A questo punto, inforna in forno caldo a 180°C per circa 30 minuti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;In teoria è buona fredda, sa di pan briosche ed è veramente confortante mangiare qualcosa che ti è lievitato. Ma come reistere? l'ho dovuta tagliare e sentire tiepida, e mi son quasi commossa!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Tant'è che mamma l'ha trovata senza una fetta... esigenza ci copione!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;::::: ROSE CAKE :::::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;If you want something to raise, don't call me.

And so did I.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The chance was Mother's Day some weeks ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;My mum is passionate about roses: she has bushes of roses all around in the garden: pink, red, yellow and white. We love each other even if when talk we always seem squabblig about something.

I was scared, I tought I would have found a gravitational collapse.&lt;/span&gt;..&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; but, actually, my &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;dough was there, doubled, soft and fragrant. This was the first glorious snapshop pf the day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Then, roll the dough on a flat working surface to have a rectangular sheet (almost 35 x 50 cm). Help yourself &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;with a rolling pin and some flour in order to have a regular sheet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Spread the filling onto the sheet and roll up the sheet on its longer side.&lt;br /&gt;Cut the roll into small regular cylinders&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Use a rounded mould with removable edges: cover it with greaseproof paper, formerly soaked and wringed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Arrange the little rolls into the mould, leaving room beneath them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Let to raise for at least half an hour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Spend your time in a fun way trying to enjoy yourself, without thinking at your cake in a warm place. Don't be worried! My grandma was sure it wouldn't have raised, but... second glorious snapshot of the day: it was raised again!&lt;br /&gt;Preheat the oven at 180°C&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;and bake for almost 30 minutes until golden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;You can eat this cake once cold: it's comforting and satisfying.. but I couldn't help!

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quindi forse la cosa migliore è parlare direttamente della torta sarda!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Avevo letto in tanti blog che è una torta a prova di imbranati, una cake for dummies, potrei definirla, e quindi avevo deciso di provarla, per vedere se e dove entrava in gioco questa sua peculiarità.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;Bene, è semplicissima negli ingredienti, nel loro dosaggio e reperimento, nell'impasto e nella cottura, delicata e vera nel sapore.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;E, soprattutto, viene bene anche se... scegli uno stampo da plum cake visibilmente troppo piccolo, che fa tracimare l'impasto in cottura dai bordi come la lava da un vulcano hawaiano, placida e tranquilla ma costante, così che sei costretta ad aprire il forno ogni 3 minuti per raccogliere con un cucchiaio l'impasto che scappa dal suo stampo.&lt;br /&gt;Viene bene anche se provi a ributtarlo dentro sempre con lo stesso cucchiaio, a rigirare i lembi della carta da forno per evitare che facciano da scivolo alla lava, già di per sè fluida e vigliacca.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Viene bene anche se devi giustificare all'universo mondo che quel puzzo di bruciato che si sta diffondendo per casa non è la torta, no, poverina, lei cuoce bene, ma l'impasto fuggiasco che si è abbarbicato al fondo del forno e che sta bruciando, diventando del colore delle pietre laviche hawaiane, per rimanere in tema.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quindi, l'unica avvertenza che mi sento di darvi è quella di utilizzare uno stampo grande da plumcake, o magari quelli da ciambellone, così che per lo meno potete sempre fare le fette quadrate, belline per questo tipo di dolce. Se non è così, riducete un po' le dosi, altrimenti vi ritroverete come me a fare un'esperimento di fisica e dinamica dei flussi all'interno del forno!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold;"&gt;::::: TORTA SARDA DI RICOTTA E LIMONE ::::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Riporto qui la ricetta di &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.cavolettodibruxelles.it/2007/01/torta-sarda-con-ricotta-e-limone"&gt;Sigrid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;, infallibile!&lt;br /&gt;Io ho usato la ricotta di capra anzichè quella di pecora, come richiesto dalla ricetta.

Aggiungi tutti gli altri ingredienti e mescola bene per ottenere un composto omogeneo e abbastanza sodo.

E cosa c'è di più bello che ritagliarsi 20 minuti la mattina, prima di andare a lavoro, per fare colazione fuori al sole, sognando di essere in vacanza, ancora per un po', ancora per 5 minuti, prima di riprendere la macchina ed andare a lavoro?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;La &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;colazione &lt;/span&gt;a casa mia è un rito strano. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;OK, ci sono i giorni di lavoro e di scuola, e in quei giorni facciamo colazione in momenti diversi in cucina, dandoci il cambio, chiacchierando velocemente tra noi (c'è chi ha poteri medianici, vedi Claudia che riesce a parlarmi e a farmi l'imboccallupo per la giornata giù da cucina mentre io dormo e rispondo nel sonno dal letto di camera mia).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Poi ci sono i giorni di festa! Mamma si alza presto e fa colazione da sola, nel silenzio più assoluto, con la solita tazza di latte e caffè con le fette biscottate che beve da quando la conosco. Il latte deve essere bollente, ustionante direi. Le fette biscottate sono 3. E mezzo. Il mezzo è quello che toglie la fame, dice lei. Mentre mangia legge un libro o fa le parole crociate. La colazione è il suo momento di pace e vuole essere lasciata sola.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Poi arriviamo noi, caciaroni, mangioni e desiderosi di provare nuove colazioni. Fuori mangiamo biscotti con le marmellate di mamma, pane tostato, succhi, latte, yoghurt. Babbo si diverte e quando ci sveglia d'estate ci dice: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;gnamo che si va a fare colazione fòri, si fa finta d'esse americani in vacanza!&lt;/span&gt; Non so perché americani, ma ci piace da matti!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Tornando a bomba, queste tortine che vi propongo potrebbero essere un perfetto ingrediente delle prossime colazioni "all'americana"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;

Tuscany, for me, is Granny Menna's Cooking.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granny Menna is how I called my grandmother Marcella as a child.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granny picks up wild herbs to make salad; as soon as mushrooms come out she runs into to wood to find them: here it is her biggest passion.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granny belives to be an Etruscan woman, with her roots firmly planted in her country.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granny knows how things are supposed to be done, because that is the way they're written in Pellegrino Artusi cook book. Aunt Pasquina gifted granny with this book when she got married: now it is yellowed with age, with some pages missing and old pictures as bookmarks.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granny loves cooking and trying new recipes, but don't tell her she's good in cooking because she will shield herself saying that nothing comes as it should be when she cooks!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet, thanks to her delicious lunches, made for me when I came back home from school, now I am what I am, not skinny and thin, but curious about new flavours and willing to try new things.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, then there is me... keen on oriental cooking, british lover, fond of spices and far away flavours. But it's time to give a chance to my tuscan cooking, trying to understand better those recipes that made me what I am, with the help of Granny and old uncle Pellegrino Artusi, a lively old man who will speak through the pages of an ancient book.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So, let's start with thew firts recipe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;::::: CROSTINI NERI - CHICKEN LIVERS CROSTINI :::::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3402/3520861985_c87a0799f8.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3402/3520861985_c87a0799f8.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;These are the appetizers that should be done for great occasions and holidays.&lt;br /&gt;When granny was a child, these crostini were made during threshing days, when the farmyard was crowded with people, men were working in the fields and women were cooking for them.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I was born, these crostini have always been present for christenings, weddings, birthdays and Christmas days.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;This is the reason I have chose to start with appetizers - principii, according to old Pellegrino Artusi.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the way granny and mum make crostini neri, in a simple way. The smell of butter mingled with livers smell reminds me of early Christmas mornings. It cuddles you and brings you in the middle of Tuscan countryside.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have made it, you should resist the temptation to eat spoonfuls of it!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;It is delicious spread on a toasted slice of tuscan bread: you can soak the slices of bread with chicken broth (as my Aunt Silvana does), butter them (as granny does) or use them as they are (as my mum does)... the point is to use the patè still hot and steaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3585/3520862313_fa6d15d38c.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3585/3520862313_fa6d15d38c.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;chicken livers, 400 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;red onion, 1/2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;carrot, 1/2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;celery, 1/2 stalk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;capers, 3 tablespoons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;leek, 1/2, just the white part&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;sage, 5 leaves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;rosemary, 1 spring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;bay leaves, 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;butter, 50 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;water, 50 cl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;anchovy paste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;salt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Directions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Rinse chicken livers and put them in a saucepan with the other ingredients (onion, carrot, celery, cappers, leek, sage, rosmary, bay leave, butter), &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;coarsely chopped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget to use a red onion, not white.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why granny?

Thanks to Claudia, who translated for me the recipe, we baked a scrumptious Molleux a la banane!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/3521676176_e03a9a3dde.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 450px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/3521676176_e03a9a3dde.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; flour, 220 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; caster sugar, 200 gr (I used just 180 gr)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; unsalted butter, 150 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; ripe bananas, 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; eggs, 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; natural yoghurt, 125 ml (I used banana yoghurt)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon (I didn't use it)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; baking powder, 1 tablespoon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Preheat the oven at 180°C and melt the butter on a medium fire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Squash bananas with a fork if they are ripe, otherwise use a blender, until you have a soft and well-blended mash.

Con le dita lavora uovo e burro insieme fino a che non sembrano uova strapazzate (la ricetta dice così e rende bene l'idea!). Piano piano, con una paletta o la lama piatta di un coltello (o a mano se vuoi fare alla svelta come ho fatto io) butta la farina sulle uova fino a che non si amalgama. Alla fine versa 2 - 3 cucchiai di acqua e impasta velocemente, forma una palla, avvolgi nella pellicola e metti in frigo per mezz'ora.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quando si è compattata, riprendila, stendila con un mattarello aiutandoti con un po' di farina e fodera una tortiera dal bordo basso di circa 26 cm di diametro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Bucherella con la forchetta, copri con un foglio di carta da forno e dei fagioli e cuoci per 15 - 20 minuti in forno caldo a 190°C. Togli dal forno e passa a preparare la crema al fondente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Il ripieno&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Semplicissimo! A bagnomaria fai sciogliere il cioccolato fondente con il latte e il burro e mescola bene fino a che il composto non diventa lucido e liscio. Versalo nel guscio. Ora non rimane che ultimare la torta con la meringa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;La meringa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ti ricordi quei 2 albumi rimasti soli soletti dopo che hai fatto la pate sucrée? Bene, prendili, metti un goccio di limone e comincia a montarli con le fruste fino a che non diventano belli sodi, compatti e bianchi, quindi per almeno 5 minuti. A questo punto, sempre montando con le fruste, aggiungi progressivamente lo zucchero e continua a montare fino a che la meringa non è bianchissima, lucida e luminosa. Versala sulla torta e sistemala come vuoi: io ho preferito metterla un po' a casaccio al centro, mi piaceva il tocco umano e grezzo, molto 'vero' che dava alla torta. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Inforna nuovamente in forno caldo a 200°C per 15 minuti o fnché la meringa non diventa dorata in qualche punto ed è ferma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Lascia raffreddare prima di servire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per essere una torta nata sull'improvvisazione e pescando a casaccio da diverse ricette non era per niente male: forse la meringa doveva cuocere meglio, ma dolce e avvolgente com'era si sposava bene con la crema forte e amara al fondente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;::::: DARK CHOCOLATE MERINGUE TART :::::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Born as a strawberry tart, it has become a dark chocolate meringue tart thanks to the allergy of a friend!

Place the chocolate, milk and butter in a small pan and cook in a bain-marie. Stir until melted and smooth.  Pur into the pastry case and leave to cool. Now all you have to do is making the meringue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;The meringue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Do you remember those leftover egg whites from the pate sucrée? Good.&lt;br /&gt;Place them in a bowl, add a few drops of lemon juice and beat with an electic mixer until they are soft, firm and white (at least 5 minutes). Then, gradually add the sugar and beat until the mixture is thick, glossy and shining white.&lt;br /&gt;Spoon meringue onto the tart as you like. I love a human and messed touch.&lt;br /&gt;Bake in a preheated oven (200°C) for 15 minutes or until the peaks are golden and the meringue is set. Leave to cool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However born by chance and mixing together different recipes, it is a delicious cake.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe the meringue should have been more firm and cooked, but it was sweet and velvety, ideal to balance the intense and strong dark chocolate filling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17485807596403204-4390013955880429795?l=julskitchen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/feeds/4390013955880429795/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/05/meringata-al-fondente-dark-chocolate.html#comment-form' title='30 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17485807596403204/posts/default/4390013955880429795'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17485807596403204/posts/default/4390013955880429795'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/05/meringata-al-fondente-dark-chocolate.html' title='Meringata al fondente ::::: Dark Chocolate Meringue Tart'/><author><name>Juls</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12821590499099448655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tyhI0MvQfFQ/Taw3zT4VFeI/AAAAAAAAFb0/5Mtc_c_88NM/s220/juBN.jpg'/></author><thr:total>30</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17485807596403204.post-9201047600633906919</id><published>2009-05-06T14:02:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-06T15:15:13.931+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='primi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='etnico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='english'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vegetariano'/><title type='text'>Lost Quinoa</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;No, non è l'ultima puntata di &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lost &lt;/span&gt;trasmessa dalla Fox e no, qui non troverete nessuno &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;spoiler&lt;/span&gt; che vi dischiuderà segreti inconfessabili su Sawyer e compagnia... sto semplicemente facendo riferimento al mio primo esperimento con la &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;quinoa &lt;/span&gt;- scomparso nel nulla ad opera di bocche affamate - e al secondo tentativo andato a buon fine!

Il parentame e Claudia, tornati da una passeggiata di 16km nel bosco, erano affamati ed assaggia tu che assaggio anche io hanno finito la quinoa con verdure, pensando che fosse il mio avanzo, senza lasciarmente nemmeno un granellino!&lt;br /&gt;Ecco come è andato il mio primo esperimento con la quinoa.&lt;br /&gt;Non mi sono lasciata scoraggiare e, dopo pochi giorni, ho riprovato!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold;"&gt;::::: QUINOA CON PEPERONI E GAMBERETTI ::::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3350/3499666499_4f78102606.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3350/3499666499_4f78102606.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;Ingredienti per 4 persone:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;quinoa, 300 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;peperoni, 1 giallo ed 1 rosso, di media grandezza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;porro, 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;gamberetti già sgusciati, 150gr (io ho usato quelli precotti e congelati, quello che passava il convento)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;curcuma, 1 cucchiaio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;olio extravergine di oliva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;sale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Metti a bagno la quinoa con largo anticipo (io per non sbagliare l'ho messa la sera prima) e cambia l'acqua almeno 2 - 3 volte. La quinoa è infatti ricoperta di &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;saponina&lt;/span&gt;! troverai sul pelo dell'acqua una schiumina bianca, quella va tolta e sciacquata bene!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Cuoci la quinoa in acqua salata bollente per 10 - 15 minuti, seguendo le istruzioni della confezione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Nel frattempo scalda un cucchiaio di olio in una padella antiaderente e stufaci lentamente il porro affettato sottilmente (io uso parte bianca e verde, fino a che è tenero). Aggiungi uno o due cucchiai di acqua se ti pare che cuocia troppo in fretta: deve ammorbidirsi e disfarsi un po'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;A quel punto aggiungi i peperoni affettati sottili e lasciali cuocere, facendogli rilasciare la loro acqua, fino a che non sono morbidi. Poco prima di spengere aggiungi i gamberetti e falli cuocere insieme ai peperoni per circa 5 minuti. Regola di sale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Scola la quinoa (e qui ti ci voglio, i suoi granellini si attaccano ovunque) e versala nella padella con i peperoni, aggiungendo un cucchiaio di curcuma, mescola il tutto, salta per un minuto e impiatta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;A noi è piaciuta forse più il giorno dopo, fredda o leggermente riscaldata, che la sera stessa!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Menomale la seconda volta ho avuto modo di assaggiarla!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 51, 0); font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;::::: PEPPERS AND SHRIMPS QUINOA ::::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;This is the second time I cooked quinoa.

When they're tender, add the shrimps and cook them all together for about 5 minutes. Season with salt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Drain the quinoa and add it to the peppers.&lt;br /&gt;Add a tablespoon of turmeric and toss the quinoa for a minute.&lt;br /&gt;We enoyed the quinoa more the next day, cold or slightly warm, than the very evening.

Ma... no, non ha del rabarbaro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Poi mi cadono gli occhi sui &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;mango&lt;/span&gt;: belli, profumati e maturi. Ne prendo tre!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;E poi, da un pensiero all'altro, mi viene in mente il &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.cavolettodibruxelles.it/2009/04/passion-fruit-curd"&gt;passion fruit curd&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; del Cavoletto di qualche giorno fa e quindi domando: ha i &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;frutti della passione&lt;/span&gt;? Certo, costano 80 centesimi l'uno. Ottimo, ne prendo 3. Mi giro, guardo Antonella e le dico: Anto, me ne prendi 3 di frutti della passione? Quali sono? quelli lì... verdi... grossi... e mi presento all'omino con 3 papaya... dopo l'iniziale momento di imbarazzo ed un rapido cambio, mi trovo con 3 passion fruit in mano, piccini, grigini marroncini fuori e pure un po' grinzosetti. I colori li nascondono dentro!&lt;br /&gt;Adesso so quali sono i passion fruit! Sono giustificata perché quando bevi il succo a passion fruit non necessariamente devi anche conoscere la forma del frutto, no? &lt;/span&gt;=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/Secj2_kuDBI/AAAAAAAAD50/xIQFpjBP3so/s1600-h/passionfruit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 325px; height: 292px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/Secj2_kuDBI/AAAAAAAAD50/xIQFpjBP3so/s400/passionfruit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325264512074255378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Sopra: Passion fruit - fonte web&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/Secj2jffdeI/AAAAAAAAD5s/c_5IAk00sEM/s1600-h/papaya-clean-.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/Secj2jffdeI/AAAAAAAAD5s/c_5IAk00sEM/s400/papaya-clean-.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325264504536135138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Sopra: Papaya - fonte web&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Bene, tornata a casa che ci faccio?

Ecco quindi che ho trovato una ricettina interessante che mi ha permesso di usare anche quella poca panna che mi era avanzata dai cupcake (che proporrò in uno dei prossimi giorni): &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pasta alla crema di zucchine e zafferano&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321870250775772018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SdsUy-41e3I/AAAAAAAAD1w/OvVh-VzkX6g/s400/pasta02.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti per 3 persone (vado un po' a ricordo):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;pasta, 250 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;zucchine, 2 sode&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;zafferano, un pizzico di pistilli (io ho usato uno zafferano che avevo comprato in Marocco a poco prezzo.. ci credo che era a poco prezzo, ne dovrei usare un pugno per colorare/insaporire qualsiasi pietanza)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;panna liquida, 150 ml&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;brodo vegetale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;olio evo, 2 cucchiai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;parmigiano, 50 gr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;sale&amp;amp;pepe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;menta (questa l'ho aggiunta io, ma ci sta davvero bene, e poi volevo cominciare a sfruttare le mie piantine! vedete il vaso nella foto!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321867612807959954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SdsSZbsTFZI/AAAAAAAAD1o/4JqQ_T_MeKA/s400/pasta03.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Comincia a mettere a bollire l'acqua per la pasta e metti il pizzico di pistilli di zafferano in infusione in un po' d'acqua.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Nel frattempo taglia le zucchine a cubetti e mettile a cucere per 5 minuti in un pentolino con brodo vegetale (io ho usato del brodo granulare). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Scola le zucchine e frullale insieme allo zafferano e la sua acqua, la panna e un bel po' di foglioline di menta.

&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Comincio quindi a raccontarvi del pranzo di domenica con tutto il cuginame dall'antipasto, i famosi involtini primavera cinesi.&lt;br /&gt;Ero preoccupata, pensavo fossero complessi... e invece! una sorpresa! Facili e divertenti da preparare (sarà che a fare i pacchettini mi diverto, un po' come a Natale, e a fare gli involtini è un po' come incartare i regali natalizi). &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'unico problema è trovare la sfoglia da involtino. All'inizio avevo pensato di provare con la pasta phillo, poi nel negozietto di prodotti alimentari provenienti dal mondo che ho scoperto la settimana scorsa ho trovato proprio lei, la sfoglia da involtino primavera. Ciò significa che ho una confezione di pasta phillo in congelatore da sfruttare, eh eh eh!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ma veniamo agli involtini primavera.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SdCPV-LD2BI/AAAAAAAADyE/LusBxOwqsac/s1600-h/springroll1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SdCPV-LD2BI/AAAAAAAADyE/LusBxOwqsac/s400/springroll1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318908767553968146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Ingredienti per 20 involtini:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;ul  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;li  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;1 confezione di sfoglia per rinvoltini primavera &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(contiene circa 20 fogli quadrati con un lato di circa 20cm)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li face="trebuchet ms"&gt;petto di pollo, 200gr&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;carote, 2 medie&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;porri, 2 medi&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;cavolo cinese, 200gr&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;verza, 200gr&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;germogli di soia, 150 gr &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(io ho usato quelli della Bonduelle in scatola)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;zucchero, 1 cucchiaino&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;salsa di soia&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;sale qb&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;olio di oliva&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;olio per friggere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Prendi un petto di pollo e fallo a pezzettini piccoli con il coltello. Fai i porri a rondelline finissime.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Affetta cavolo verza e cavolo cinese sottilmente. Fai le carote a julienne.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Scalda nel wok un po' d'olio d'oliva e fai stufare piano i porri, aggiungendo se c'è bisogno un po' di acqua fino a che non si sono ammorbiditi. Aggiungi il petto di pollo e quando si è rosolato aggiungi carote, cavolo verza e cavolo cinese. Fai stufare fino a che le verdure non sono quasi cotte, aggiungi i germoglio di soia, un cucchiaino di zucchero e la salsa di soia a piacimento. Se credi necessario aggiungi anche il sale. Lascia raffreddare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Prendi la confezione di fogli per involtini primavera e togli i fogli dall'involucro, appoggiandoli su un piano pulito e coprili con un panno pulito bagnato, perché tendono a seccarsi facilmente.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Prendi un foglio per volta, appoggialo sul piano in modo che verso di te ci sia uno spigolo e non il lato del quadrato.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Metti un cucchiaio di ripieno in basso ed avvolgi su se stesso il rotolino fino a metà. A quel punto piega gli angoli esterni su se stessi verso l'interno, come una busta, e continua ad arrotolare fino in fondo.&lt;br /&gt;Mettili da parte in un piatto (nè sulla stoffa nè sulla carta, altrimenti si appiccica tutto!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quando hai finito, scalda l'olio per friggere nel wok o in una padella capiente e quando l'olio raggunge 180° (oppure quando un angolo di involtino appoggiato all'interno comincia a sfrigolare e ad avere tutte le bollicine di olio intorno) metti gli involtini nell'olio ben distanziati. Falli friggere 2/3 minuti e girali con una pinza e quando son dorati anche sull'altro lato toglili e mettili su un foglio di carta assorbente. Son buoni mangiati caldi intinti nella salsa agrodolce o nella salsa di soia.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SdCPWRUhTZI/AAAAAAAADyM/m9fRiMHC_M4/s1600-h/springroll2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SdCPWRUhTZI/AAAAAAAADyM/m9fRiMHC_M4/s400/springroll2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318908772693921170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salsa agrodolce&lt;/span&gt; &lt;ul style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;acqua, 1 tazza&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;aceto bianco, 1/2 tazza&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;zucchero, 1/2 tazza&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;salsa di pomodoro, 3 cucchiai&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;maizena, 1 cucchiaio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Metti tutto in un pentolino a fuoco dolce e gira continuamente fino a che non si addensa.

Non ho idea di quello che potrò farci, ma la signora mi ha assicurato che è commestibile... non sono riuscita a resisitere all'impulso, la bambina che ama le favole dentro di me ha pensato subito alla Principessa Raperonzolo e ha afferrato la bustina di semi, pronta a scoprire una nuova passione!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma torniamo alle cose da mangiare adesso, e non quando saranno cresciute, se mi ricorderò di bagnarle.

Perché?&lt;br /&gt;Prima di tutto perché la carne non mi è proprio simpaticissima da cucinare, anche se mi piace molto mangiarla.&lt;br /&gt;Secondo, perché la sera nella mia dieta - che più che dieta è una alimentazione sana e controllata per la quale ringrazio Valentina - son previsti i carboidrati.&lt;br /&gt;Terzo, perché è veloce!&lt;br /&gt;Dopo le spesucce di semini e prima di andare in piscina ho avuto giusto il tempo di fare questo sughetto per la pasta, che ora vi propongo: è il &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;MIO PESTO DI MANDORLE E NOCI&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/ScvzgvCgqaI/AAAAAAAADxs/Y07xeYg5kRA/s1600-h/pasta.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 350px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/ScvzgvCgqaI/AAAAAAAADxs/Y07xeYg5kRA/s400/pasta.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317611528749361570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perché mio? perché non ho la più pallida idea di come sia il pesto canonico di noci, ma mi piaceva l'idea di aggiungere alla pasta un po' di frutta secca. Grassa, sì, ma &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ricca di acidi grassi insaturi e polinsaturi che svolgono un'azione benefica nel contrastare le cosiddette malattie del benessere, contribuendo ad abbassare i livelli di colesterolo nel sangue e riducendo il rischio di aterosclerosi e di cardiopatie&lt;/span&gt; (fonte &lt;a href="www.teatronaturale.it"&gt;www.teatronaturale.it&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Ingredienti per 3 persone:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;noci sgusciate, 3 cucchiai&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;mandorle sgusciate, 3 cucchiai&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;aglio, 1 spicchio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;latte, 150ml&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;parmigiano, 2 cucchiai&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;olio evo, 1 cucchiaio&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sale&amp;amp;pepe&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;maggiorana&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Frulla noci e mandorle insieme fino a che non ottieni una pasta omogenea.&lt;br /&gt;Scalda l'olio in una padellina e metti un aglio in camicia (era tanto che volevo dirlo!) a far rosolare per poco tempo. Aggiungi poi il mix di mandorle e noci e gira per far insaporire bene. Prima che si attacchi (ahia!) versa il latte e mescolando continuamente fai rapprendere un po'.&lt;br /&gt;Scola la pasta lasciando un po' di acqua di cottura e mescola il sughetto alla pasta, aggiungendo un po' di formaggio. Io ho messo il parmigiano, perché avevo solo quello, ma forse un po' di pecorino romano ci sarebbe stato meglio! Servi conqualche foglina di maggiorana fresca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17485807596403204-7886627812175990370?l=julskitchen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/feeds/7886627812175990370/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/03/pasta-mandorle-noci.html#comment-form' title='14 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17485807596403204/posts/default/7886627812175990370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17485807596403204/posts/default/7886627812175990370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/03/pasta-mandorle-noci.html' title='Pasta, mandorle, noci...'/><author><name>Juls</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12821590499099448655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tyhI0MvQfFQ/Taw3zT4VFeI/AAAAAAAAFb0/5Mtc_c_88NM/s220/juBN.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/ScvzgvCgqaI/AAAAAAAADxs/Y07xeYg5kRA/s72-c/pasta.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17485807596403204.post-285990819806977972</id><published>2009-03-24T21:50:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-24T22:32:52.309+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='primi'/><title type='text'>Una combinazione classica</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Continua l'acquisto delle piantine aromatiche che presto andranno a formare il mio primo orto!

Lasciale raffreddare. Frullale nel frullatore fino ad ottenere una polvere finissima. Risparmi tempo e fatica se hai la farina di mandorle, e sicuramente i macarons vengono meglio!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Separa i tuorli dagli albumi e mettili da parte: Mercotte dice che per meringhe e soufflé è bene usare chiare d'uovo vecchie, perché sono più stabili. La prossima volta me ne ricorderò!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;IL GIORNO STESSO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Preriscalda il forno a 145°/155° per i piccoli macarons (circa 2cm di diametro) e lascia dentro la teglia che userai per farli: deve essere calda anche quella.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Mescola nel frullatore (usando il comando pulse, quello che gira e si ferma, gira e si ferma, così che non si surriscaldano gli ingredienti) la farina di mandorle, lo zucchero a velo e il cacao, fino ad ottenere una miscela omogenea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Nel robot da cucina o con un frullino molto potente comincia a montare le chiare: unisci agli albumi un pizzico di sale e qualche goccia di limone. Quando sono montate a neve ben ferma (io seguo il suggerimento del mio amato Jamie Oliver, rovescia il contenitore sopra la tua testa, se non cadono, son montate bene), aggiungi progressivamente lo zucchero semolato, inmodo che la meringa si strutturi bene. Questo è anche il momento di aggiungere il colorante, se lo vuoi mettere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A questo punto, aggiungi nel recipiente metà della mistura in polvere ottenuta all'inizio, e mescola con delicatezza dal basso verso l'alto e dal centro verso l'esterno con una spatolina in silicone. Quando il composto si è ben amalgamato, aggiungi la polvere restante.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Alla fine l'impsto dovrebbe essere liscio, lucido ed elastico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;E' il momento di infornare. Prendi la placca da forno senza bruciarti. Ricoprila con un foglio di carta da forno (puoi fermarla ai quatro angoli con un goccio dell'impasto, così sta ferma).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Metti l'impasto in una sacapoche con un beccuccio di circa 1 cm e fai dei tondini di circa 2 cm di diametro sulla placca, distanziandoli bene. Non ti preoccupare se sono un po' irregolari, appena li metti in forno si lisciano sopra. Mi raccomando, separali bene: se si toccano in cottura si crettano subito e, oltre ad essere antiestetici, quando poi li riempi e li metti in frigo si rompono faclmente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Cuociono in circa 15 minuti. Adesso concediti un attimo di gloria e guardali gonfiarsi leggermente in forno, guarda come la parte sopra rimane liscia e lucida, mentre nella parte inferiore si forma quela specie di cornicina briciolosa (non saprei come altro definirla) caratteristica dei macarons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Giuro che fanno tutto da soli!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Dopo 15 minuti toglili dal forno e lasciali freddare prima di staccarli.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Mentre si freddano, prepara la ganasche da mettere dentro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;INGREDIENTI PER LA CREME GANASCHE:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;CIOCCOLATO FONDENTE DA COPERTURA, 50 gr&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;PANNA, 60 gr + 120 gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;BURRO, 10 gr&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Fai fondere il cioccolato a bagno maria (o al microonde, ma non lo dite a nessuno).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Porta la panna ad ebollizione e versala in più volte sul cioccolato per ottenere una crema brillante ed elastica. quando raggiunge i 40° unisci i 10 gr di burro e mescola bene.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Lascia freddare. Quando è fredda, aggiungi 120 gr di panna liquida e monta con le fruse fino a che non forma dei picchi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Metti la creme ganasche in una sacapoche e e guarnisci i macaron, unendoli a due a due.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A questo punto l'imperativo è &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;RESISTERE&lt;/span&gt;!

Al momento ho salvia, rosmarino, timo, erba cipollina, dragoncello, maggiorana e menta. Altre come cerfoglio, aneto e altre che non mi ricordo le ho ordinate! Ovviamente qualsiasi suggerimento in merito alla loro cura (non sono io, in famiglia, ad avere il pollice verde... sigh), alla loro conservazione e magari a qualche ricettina interessante da farci è ben accetto!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Seconda cosa, grazie a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://tzatzikiacolazione.blogspot.com/"&gt;Lydia &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;ho preso coraggio e ho tentato il mio primo &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;souffle&lt;/span&gt;, seguendo al sua &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://tzatzikiacolazione.blogspot.com/2009/03/sabrina-e-souffle.html"&gt;ricettina&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;. Si è un po' afflosciato, come vedete dalle foto, credo che dovesse cuocere di più, come dice giustamente Lydia. O forse la sua Sabrina inside è molto più brava della mia Julia Roberts inside!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ma non demordo, ritenterò, anche perché il sapore era davvero ma davvero buono: ha conquistato anche mia mamma, che solitamente è molto scettica nei confronti di qualsiasi cosa vada al di là degli spaghetti al pomodoro! Ho aggiunto qualche foglina di maggiorana all'impasto, così per rinnovare il mio bouquet di erbe aromatiche.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/ScNV_l9hcqI/AAAAAAAADxE/-O94Qe7apBI/s1600-h/souffle1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/ScNV_l9hcqI/AAAAAAAADxE/-O94Qe7apBI/s400/souffle1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315186536237593250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Terza cosa.. non notate niente nelle &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;foto&lt;/span&gt;??

Mercoledì sera, prima di partire, ho preparato una torta veloce per il compleanno di mio babbo, sfruttando una ricetta del &lt;a href="http://www.cavolettodibruxelles.it/2008/04/grand-marnier-crepes-cake"&gt;Cavoletto &lt;/a&gt;che erano mesi (quasi un anno) che avevo stampato e messo da parte e che volevo provare.&lt;br /&gt;Variando un po’ gli ingredienti in base alle disponibilità che avevo a casa, il mio papino ha festeggiato i suoi 53 anni – portati benissimo – con una &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;torta fatta di crepes farcita con ricotta e cioccolato&lt;/span&gt;.     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;per le crepes:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;farina&lt;/span&gt;, 160 gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;uova&lt;/span&gt;, 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;latte&lt;/span&gt;, 320 ml&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;fiorello&lt;/span&gt;, 200gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;buccia di arancia grattugiata&lt;/span&gt;, 2 cucchiai&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;vanillina&lt;/span&gt;, 1 bustina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;zucchero a velo&lt;/span&gt;, 40gr  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;per la farcitura:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ricotta&lt;/span&gt;, 500gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;zucchero a velo&lt;/span&gt;, 100gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;buccia di arancia grattugiata&lt;/span&gt;, 2 cucchiai&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;vanillina&lt;/span&gt;, 1 bustina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;cioccolato fondente&lt;/span&gt;, 100 gr  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Le crepes.&lt;/span&gt; Mescola tutti gli ingredienti con una frusta facendo attenzione a che non si formino i grumi. Ungi una padellina antiaderente di circa 20cm di diametro con del burro, poi versa il composto: quando la crepe è dorata da un lato, girala e falla dorare anche sull’altro, poi toglila e mettila da parte. Ti verranno circa 20 crepes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;La crema. &lt;/span&gt;Mescola la ricotta con lo zucchero a velo, la vanillina e la buccia di arancia. Spezza il cioccolato fondente in pezzi piccoli ed aggiungilo alla crema di ricotta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;L’assemblaggio.&lt;/span&gt; In un piatto piano spalma una crepe con la crema di ricotta, sovrapponi un’altra crepe, spalmala con la crema di ricotta e così via fino a che non hai finito tutti gli ingredienti. A questo punto è bene tenere la torta in frigo per almeno 2 ore, in modo che si assesti bene: sarà molto più facile tagliarla! Al momento di servire cospargila con lo zucchero a velo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SbWJdr9PtuI/AAAAAAAADuA/QA9MMkTMZTs/s1600-h/crepes-cake.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SbWJdr9PtuI/AAAAAAAADuA/QA9MMkTMZTs/s400/crepes-cake.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311302478662186722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; .. here I am again, this time back from Trieste, where I’ve been to the Olio Capitale fair: I do love fairs! This is my father’s birthday cake, made on Wednesday evening before to leave to Trieste: it is based on a &lt;a href="http://www.cavolettodibruxelles.it/2008/04/grand-marnier-crepes-cake"&gt;Cavoletto&lt;/a&gt;’s recipe that I used to keep here, waiting to find the right moment to try it!&lt;br /&gt;My daddy has therefore celebrated his birthday with a&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; ricotta cheese and chocolate crepes cake&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;Ingredients: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;For the pancakes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;plain flour&lt;/span&gt;, 160 gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;eggs&lt;/span&gt;, 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;milk&lt;/span&gt;, 320 ml&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;fiorello cheese&lt;/span&gt;, 200gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;orange zest&lt;/span&gt;, 2 tablespoons&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;vanilla extract&lt;/span&gt;, 1 teaspoon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;icing sugar&lt;/span&gt;, 40gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;For the filling:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ricotta cheese&lt;/span&gt;, 500gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;icing sugar&lt;/span&gt;, 100gr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;orange zest&lt;/span&gt;, 2 tablespoons&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;vanilla extract&lt;/span&gt;, 1 teaspoon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;dark chocolate&lt;/span&gt;, 100 gr  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pancakes. &lt;/span&gt;Whip together all the ingredients, whisking well until it’s smooth. Butter a little (about 20cm in diameter) non-stick frying pan, add a small ladleful of batter: when the underside is slightly golden, flip the pancake over and fry until the new underside is golden. Keep the pancakes aside: the batter makes about 20 pancakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The filling.&lt;/span&gt; Whip together the ricotta cheese, the vanilla extract and the orange zest. Chop the dark chocolate in small pieces and add it to the ricotta cheese cream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Assemblage. &lt;/span&gt;Spread the ricotta cheese cream over a pancake, put a new pancake over the first one and keep on doing so until you have finished all the pancakes and the cream. Keep in the fridge for at least 2 hours, so that the crepes cake can settle down: it would be far more easy to slice! Serve with a scattering of icing sugar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17485807596403204-5767272253993000843?l=julskitchen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/feeds/5767272253993000843/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/03/crepes-cake.html#comment-form' title='14 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17485807596403204/posts/default/5767272253993000843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17485807596403204/posts/default/5767272253993000843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://julskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/03/crepes-cake.html' title='Crepes Cake'/><author><name>Juls</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12821590499099448655</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tyhI0MvQfFQ/Taw3zT4VFeI/AAAAAAAAFb0/5Mtc_c_88NM/s220/juBN.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/SbWJdr9PtuI/AAAAAAAADuA/QA9MMkTMZTs/s72-c/crepes-cake.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17485807596403204.post-420369758631519257</id><published>2009-03-03T12:05:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T10:54:33.199+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tour'/><title type='text'>Pasticceria Scaturchio</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ebbene sì, non sono sparita. Solo che questo è il periodo lavorativamente più intenso, quindi a casa ci rimbalzo e basta. Lo scorso fine settimana sono stata a Napoli per il &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Premio Sirena d'Oro di Sorrento&lt;/span&gt;, un premio dedicato ai migliori oli DOP italiani. Due giorni molto intensi ma estremamente interessanti, soprattutto per un convegno sulla dieta mediterranea "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Orgoglio Mediterranea&lt;/span&gt;" - ideato da &lt;a href="http://fedetinto.com/"&gt;Fede&amp;amp;Tinto&lt;/a&gt; di Radio2 Decanter -  e per la visita della stampa alla pasticceria &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.scaturchio.it/"&gt;Scaturchio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, una delle più antiche e famose di Napoli.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quindi questa volta niente ricetta, ma una bella galleria di foto rubate all'interno dei laboratori della pasticceria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/Sa0cbZUiVmI/AAAAAAAADtI/cMML6PGa42c/s1600-h/LA+PASTICCERIA.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/Sa0cbZUiVmI/AAAAAAAADtI/cMML6PGa42c/s400/LA+PASTICCERIA.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308930792718751330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Prima meraviglia: i &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;babà&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;! Il procedimento della cottura è spettacolare, ma purtroppo non abbiamo avuto la possibilità di vederlo. Appena cotti sono piccolini la metà di come si vedono in foto, pesano soltanto 20 gr, poi vengono immersi un bagno di zucchero, alcol, liquore Strega ed altri aromi più o meno segreti, per 15 - 20 minuti, e successivamente strizzati come spugne!!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Magicamente riprendono la loro forma ed ecco i babà che conosciamo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/Sa0gAMUccTI/AAAAAAAADto/_wZpKijxJ6w/s1600-h/baba.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t0RYnPdRfDM/Sa0gAMUccTI/AAAAAAAADto/_wZpKijxJ6w/s400/baba.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308934723418747186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Seconda meraviglia: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;la decorazione delle torte&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;!

Quello del pasticcere non deve essere preso come un mestiere come un altro, ci vuole sacrificio (vedi le alzatacce la mattina, il lavorare nel giorni di festa...) ma quando lo si fa con passione non pesa, anzi, è sempre un piacere!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Da quel che ho visto, all'interno di quel laboratorio non lavravano uomini, ma piccoli elfi capaci di fare magie fantastiche. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;COMPLIMENTI A TUTTI I PASTICCERI DI SCATURCHIO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;
