Fava Beans, Finferli - Chanterelle mushrooms- and eggs: an irreplaceable Spring trio!
When the feast of St. Anthony of Padua approaches, on June 13th, spring is coming to an end in Italy. The sky is clear, then suddenly cloudy and a rapid thunderstorm passes by, immediately leaving room for the return of a splendid and warm sun.
Easy and quick to make, this salty sponge cake is ideal for aperitifs and buffets!
Once cooled, cut the sponge cake into 3 discs. Fill the first layer with tuna and mayonnaise, sliced cherry tomatoes and lettuce. On the second layer spread the mayonnaise and add the cooked ham and Emmental (or another soft cheese of your choice). Close with the last disc and the savory sponge cake is ready to be served!
You can definitely obtain more discs and stuff them as much as you want!
As you know, I love to rediscover traditional recipes from my little village in the south of Italy. Tarallini with Naspro are one of the many traditional Easter recipes. Very simple to make, but very tasty!
What is “Naspro”? Naspro is a sugar icing that gives these sweet donuts their traditional white color. In Cercemaggiore Naspro Tarallini are made during the Easter period and used to accompany with their candor the brides dressed in white, celebrating their wedding day.
Many names, a single incomparable Italian delicacy: Struffoli!
Some like to make them for Carnival but they are also popular for Christmas, or you may want to enjoy them on both holidays and share them with friends on New Year's Eve.
The classic recipe asks to finish them with colored sugar sprinkles, but some like to add candied fruits or delicious ground almonds. Other recipes, like the Sicilian, dictate you should flood them with icing...
These stuffed Pizza bites are a simple recipe to make for a tasty Italian Sunday!
They are called “nodini” - knots - as I created them by folding the dough over creating a little knot, but I promise it’s easier than it sounds!
