Sabato scorso, quando ho preparato questi sfiziosi croissant per un aperitivo tra amici (e sono finiti subito),&amp;nbsp; mi sono ripromessa di non lasciar passare tutto questo tempo tra un esperimento e l'altro. A parte il particolare divertimento che provo nello spadellare, impastare ed infornare, vogliamo mettere il piacere che si prova nel mangiare qualcosa di buono, goloso ed assolutamente originale preparato da te medesima? Ineguagliabile.&lt;br /&gt;Questi croissant di pane sono l'ideale per un aperitivo, van bene mangiati da soli o anche accompagnati da dei salumi. Potete variare il ripieno con ciò che preferite, fate attenzione a chiudere bene le due estremità per non far fuoriuscire tutto durante la cottura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;per l'impasto:&lt;/em&gt; 230ml di latte, tiepido&amp;nbsp;- 15gr di burro - 175gr di farina - 175gr di farina Manitoba - 1 cucchiaino e ½&amp;nbsp;di sale - 1 cucchiaino e ½&amp;nbsp;di zucchero - 10gr di lievito di birra&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;per il ripieno:&lt;/em&gt; tre cucchiai di gorgonzola dolce - 1 mela annurca sbucciata e tagliata a dadini&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mettere tutti gli ingredienti in un robot da cucina ed azionare a media velocità, impastare per un paio di minuti. Prendere l'impasto, formare una palla e sistemarlo in una ciotola. Coprire con un telo e lasciare lievitare in un luogo riparato da correnti d'aria per tre ore. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Trascorso questo tempo, dividere l'impasto in dodici palline. Formare con ognuna una stringa, stenderla col mattarello (lunghezza tot. 15cm) facendo in modo da avere una base più larga e una punta all'estremità opposta, in modo da formare un triangolo come per i croissant dolci. Sistemare sulla base larga un cucchiaino di mela e un paio di gorgonzola. Iniziare ad arrotolare dalla base fino ad arrivare alla punta. Sistemare uno ad uno su una teglia da forno coperta di carta forno, curvando ognuno fino a formare una mezzaluna. Pizzicare le estremità in modo&amp;nbsp;da sigillare la pasta e non far fuoriuscire il ripieno.&amp;nbsp;Lasciar lievitare ancora per 40 minuti. Infornare a 190° per 18-20 minuti. Servire tiepidi o freddi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TBRZ9wFz1WM/Tx78B6eCcEI/AAAAAAAACXI/dqf7iW41y5s/s1600/Union+Jack_0.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TBRZ9wFz1WM/Tx78B6eCcEI/AAAAAAAACXI/dqf7iW41y5s/s1600/Union+Jack_0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"&gt;Bread croissant with apple and gorgonzola&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a while since my last post, I have to admit that lately I've been really little creative and this is not good at all. Last saturday, when I've prepared these croissant for an happy hour with some friends (and they finished in no time), I promised to myself that I couldn't let that happen again. Besides&amp;nbsp;my personal&amp;nbsp;joy of cooking, kneading and baking, what about the pleasure you find in eating something so good, tasty and absolutely original&amp;nbsp;that you have prepared all on your own? That's peerless.&lt;br /&gt;These bread croissant are good as an appetizer, you can eat them alone or also with cold cuts. You can also&amp;nbsp;change the filling with your favourite ingredients, be careful to pinch well&amp;nbsp;both ends of the croissant in order to avoid the filling to come out during baking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;for the dough:&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;230ml (1cup - 8oz)&amp;nbsp;milk, warm&amp;nbsp;- 15gr (3.2tsp) butter - 175gr (0.8cup - 6oz) all purpose flour - 175gr (0.8cup - 6oz) Manitoba flour - 1½ tsp salt - 1½ tsp sugar - 10gr (2.2tsp) brewer's yeast&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;for the filling:&lt;/em&gt; three tbs sweet gorgonzola cheese - 1 very small apple, peeled and diced&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Place all ingredients in a food processor and start at medium speed for a couple of minutes. Now place the dough in a bowl, cover with a cloth and leave to rise for three hours.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After this time, divide the dough into 12 small balls. With the help of a rolling pin, form with each one first a strip 15cm long, then a triangle, having a large base on one side and a head on the oder one. place on each base 1tsp of apple and 2tsp of gorgonzola. Now roll the dough starting from the base till you arrive to the head. Place each croissant on a baking sheet coverd with parchment paper, and&amp;nbsp;delicately bend&amp;nbsp;each one in order to form a half-moon (crescent). Pinch each end with your fingers, this way the filling won't come out while baking.&amp;nbsp;Leave to rise 40 minutes more. Bake at 190°C for 18-20 minutes. Serve lightly warm or cold.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-1670970760387706578?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/1670970760387706578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2012/01/croissant-di-pane-con-mele-e-gorgonzola.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/1670970760387706578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/1670970760387706578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2012/01/croissant-di-pane-con-mele-e-gorgonzola.html' title='Croissant di pane con mele e gorgonzola'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y-9QT-jSZvM/Tx77sperRtI/AAAAAAAACXA/JlkaQs0chOQ/s72-c/Croissant+zola+e+mele_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-4708475945810404595</id><published>2011-12-19T19:21:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-19T19:31:44.806+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Christmas muffins</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjBHwpW04qM/Tu-Bhamf7FI/AAAAAAAACWk/U9TX1MZImtQ/s1600/Christmas+muffins_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjBHwpW04qM/Tu-Bhamf7FI/AAAAAAAACWk/U9TX1MZImtQ/s400/Christmas+muffins_resize.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Non potevo esimermi dal pubblicare una ricetta natalizia e quest'anno, al posto dei soliti biscotti, vi propongo il mio cavallo di battaglia, i muffin. Come non amare questi dolci così&amp;nbsp;golosi&amp;nbsp;e così geniali nella loro semplicità? Se&amp;nbsp;vi piace&amp;nbsp;il panettone, vi piacerà anche questa versione di muffin: uvetta e canditi (io ho utilizzato scorza d'arancia e cedro) ed un tocco speziato di zenzero e cannella. Potete anche regalarli al posto dei biscotti, meglio però farli il giorno stesso così saranno&amp;nbsp; super soffici.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farina - 130gr di zucchero - 120gr di burro - 1 uovo - 100ml di latte - 2 cucchiaini di lievito in polvere - 70gr di uvetta - 70gr di canditi misti - 1 pizzico di sale - ½cucchiaino di cannella in polvere - ½ cucchiaino di zenzero in povere.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mescolare assieme la farina, il lievito,&amp;nbsp;lo zucchero, le spezie ed il sale. In un'altra ciotola mescolare molto velocemente il burro fuso, l'uovo e&amp;nbsp;il latte. Ora aggiungere il mix di ingredienti secchi e, per ultimo,&amp;nbsp;l'uvetta che&amp;nbsp;avrete fatto rinvenire in acqua tiepida, e per ultimo i canditi. Mescolare velocemente e riempire con l'impasto uno stampo per muffin imburrato o rivestito dei pirottini di carta. Cuocere a 180° per 25-30 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wsfDhUIqVoI/Tu9_6-uWDAI/AAAAAAAACWc/CEcm68G6O3U/s1600/Christmas+muffins_02_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wsfDhUIqVoI/Tu9_6-uWDAI/AAAAAAAACWc/CEcm68G6O3U/s400/Christmas+muffins_02_resize.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ijzUxlTpCM/Tu9_tWzDYbI/AAAAAAAACWM/Tcm2ikN2nOY/s1600/Union+Jack_0.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ijzUxlTpCM/Tu9_tWzDYbI/AAAAAAAACWM/Tcm2ikN2nOY/s1600/Union+Jack_0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"&gt;Christmas muffins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I really needed&amp;nbsp;to post a Christmas recipe and this year,&amp;nbsp; instead of baking cookies, I'm baking muffins, my all times favourites. How can't you love these sweets so delicious and yet so brilliant in their simplicity? If you like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panettone" target="_blank"&gt;panettone&lt;/a&gt;, you will also like these muffins, rich in raisins and candied peels (I used orange and citron), with a spicy touch of ginger and cinnamon. You can&amp;nbsp;give them&amp;nbsp;as &amp;nbsp;a gift instead of cookies but remember to bake them the same day so they will be super soft.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz)&amp;nbsp;flour - 130gr (0.6cup - 4.8oz)&amp;nbsp;sugar - 120gr (0.52cup - 4.2oz)&amp;nbsp;butter, melted&amp;nbsp;- 1 egg - 100ml (0.4cup - 3.5oz) milk - 2tsp baking powder - 70gr (0.3cup -&amp;nbsp;2.4oz)&amp;nbsp;raisins - 70gr (0.3cup - 2.4oz) candied peels - 1 pinch of salt - ½ tsp cinnamon powder&amp;nbsp;- ½tsp ginger powder&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar spices and salt. In another bowl quickly mix butter, egg and&amp;nbsp;milk,. Now pour in dried ingredients and finally add candied peels and raisins that you have already softened in warm water, drained and then&amp;nbsp;dried with a cloth. Spoon the mixture into a greased muffin tin (or use paper cups) and bake at 180°C (350F - gas mark 4) for 25-30 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&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/31933112-4708475945810404595?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/4708475945810404595/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/12/christmas-muffin.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4708475945810404595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4708475945810404595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/12/christmas-muffin.html' title='Christmas muffins'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjBHwpW04qM/Tu-Bhamf7FI/AAAAAAAACWk/U9TX1MZImtQ/s72-c/Christmas+muffins_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-6566529985050567636</id><published>2011-11-18T17:51:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-20T20:12:42.199+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Primi piatti - Starters'/><title type='text'>Gnocchi di castagne con zucca e fonduta di castelmagno</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CS-f4mPjz6w/TslOywo-ZSI/AAAAAAAACVg/j9RqxYLWwaI/s1600/Gnocchi_castagne_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CS-f4mPjz6w/TslOywo-ZSI/AAAAAAAACVg/j9RqxYLWwaI/s400/Gnocchi_castagne_resize.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Le castagne, assieme alla zucca, sono gli alimenti che&amp;nbsp;in assoluto per me&amp;nbsp;più&amp;nbsp;sanno d'autunno. Le castagne in particolare, possono essere utilizzate in tanti modi diversi&amp;nbsp;e la&amp;nbsp;farina, a questo proposito, è&amp;nbsp;estremamente versatile. Personalmente, la utilizzo per preparare dolci, pane e pasta fresca (facendo una ricerca su questo blog troverete diverse ricette), ecco perché non ho potuto resistere all'invito de &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/" target="_blank"&gt;La Cucina Italiana&lt;/a&gt; rivolto alle foodblogger. In collaborazione con la provincia di Lucca, ha pensato di promuovere un contest ed un incontro all'interno della manifestazione &lt;a href="http://www.ildesco.eu/" target="_blank"&gt;Il Desco&lt;/a&gt;, per raccogliere le nostre opinioni e sapere come interpretiamo quest'ingrediente. Questa è la mia proposta per il contest &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/default.aspx?idPage=3660" target="_blank"&gt;"Castange al Desco"&lt;/a&gt;, degli gnocchi di castagne che ho abbinato alla zucca, sua compagna autunnale,&amp;nbsp;e ad una fonduta di castelmagno che esalta, senza coprirlo, quel&amp;nbsp;sapore tipicamente dolciastro.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Assieme ad altre 24 fortunate&amp;nbsp;foodblogger, sono stata selezionata da La Cucina Italiana e&amp;nbsp;sarò presente a Lucca per parecipare a quest'incontro e ad assistere alla premiazione, che si terrà tra il 26 ed il 27 Novembre. Un gioco, un incontro, un'esperienza per condividere, imparare, conoscere e... assaggiare!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 2 persone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 300gr di patate da gnocchi (buccia bianca o anche rossa) - 70gr di farina di castagne - 30gr di semola di grano duro - 1 uovo piccolo, sbattuto&amp;nbsp;- 1 cucchiaio di burro - 70gr di zucca mantovana - 60gr di castelmagno - 50ml di latte - 10ml di panna fresca - sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mettere le patate&amp;nbsp;in una pentola e coprirle con acqua fredda, portare a bollore e lessare per circa mezz'ora o finché saranno tenere. Non appena pronte, scolarle, pelarle&amp;nbsp;e schiacciarle con lo schiacciapatate. In una ciotola mescolare i due tipi di farina con le patate e l'uovo. L'impasto che si ottiene è più friabile del normale impasto per gnocchi, quindi bisognerà maneggiarlo&amp;nbsp; delicatamente. Su di un piano infarinato formare dei cordoncini della grandezza di un dito e con un coltello tagliare degli gnocchetti di&amp;nbsp;circa due centimetri. Sistemare su di un vassoio e far riposare in frigorifero per almeno mezz'ora. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Preparare ora il condimento. Pulire la zucca eliminando i semi e la buccia. Tagliarla a fette spesse 3-4cm, quindi affettarla ancora per la larghezza utilizzando una &lt;a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41127TTCVTL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;mandolina&lt;/a&gt;. Far sciogliere il burro in una padella e cuocere la zucca a fuoco vivace (occorreranno ca. 8-10 minuti), mescolando spesso, e salare. Spegnere e tenere da parte. Intanto, mettere sul fuoco una pentola d'acqua per cuocere gli gnocchi e aggiungere del sale grosso non appena inizia a bollire. Preparare la fonduta, mettendo in un piccolo pentolino antiaderente il castelmagno grattuggiato, il latte e la panna. Far sciogliere a fuoco bassissimo mescolando. Occorrono pochi minuti per preparare la fonduta, quindi va messa sul fuoco quando si versano gli gnocchi nell'acqua. Non appena gli gnocchi iniziano ad affiorare in superficie, scolarli con una schiumarola e versarli nella padella con la zucca. Mescolare ed impiattare. Versare sugli gnocchi la fonduta di castelmagno e servire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"&gt;     &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr align="center"&gt;             &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/default.aspx?idPage=3660" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="FB image" border="0" height="140" src="http://backend.lacucinaitaliana.it/img_repository/NEWSLETTER/Invito_Caterina/il%20desco3.png" width="190" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;             &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;     &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rkIJWQfsOP4/TslOBzDcHNI/AAAAAAAACVY/4Sc4QquH7UE/s1600/Union+Jack_0.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rkIJWQfsOP4/TslOBzDcHNI/AAAAAAAACVY/4Sc4QquH7UE/s1600/Union+Jack_0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"&gt;Chestnut gnocchi with pumpkin and castelmagno fondue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Chestnut, together with pumpkin, are the food that most typically recall autumn. Chestnut in particular, can be used in many ways and its flour is extremely versatile. Personally, I prepare with it desserts, bread and fresh pasta (if you make a research on this blog you will find many recipes), that is why I couldn't resist to the invitation from &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/" target="_blank"&gt;La Cucina Italiana&lt;/a&gt; to all the foodbloggers. In collaboration with the province of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucca" target="_blank"&gt;Lucca&lt;/a&gt;, it launched a contest within the &lt;a href="http://www.ildesco.eu/" target="_blank"&gt;Il Desco&lt;/a&gt; event, to gather our opinion and discover how we interpret this ingredient. This is my suggestion for the contest &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/default.aspx?idPage=3660" target="_blank"&gt;"Castagne al Desco"&lt;/a&gt; (Chestnuts at the Desco), some chestnut gnocchi I matched with pumpkin, his autumn mate, and a castelmagno cheese fondue, which enhance, without covering, that typical sweet taste. Together with other 24 foodbloggers, I've been selected from La Cucina Italiana and will be in Lucca to participate to this meeting and attend the prize-giving, the 26th and 26th of November. A game, a meeting, an experience to share, learn, get to know and... taste! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Serves 2&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 300gr (10.5oz) potatoes (skin white or red)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;- 70gr (0.3cup - 2.4oz) chestnut flour - 30gr (1oz) hardwheat flour - 1 small egg, whisked&amp;nbsp;- 1tbs butter - 70gr (0.3cup - 2.4oz) chestnut pumpkin - 60gr (0.27cup - 2.11oz) &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castelmagno_(cheese)" target="_blank"&gt;castelmagno cheese&lt;/a&gt; - 50ml (1.4oz)&amp;nbsp;milk - 10ml (0.4oz)&amp;nbsp;cream - salt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Place the potatoes, with their skins on, in a suitably sized saucepan, cover with&amp;nbsp;cold water, then put a lid on and simmer for about half an hour or until tender. Then drain well and quickly pare off the skins using a potato peeler. Mash potato with a &lt;a href="http://www.tescoma.es/pic/643566.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;potato masher&lt;/a&gt;, then in a large bowl mix together both flours with potatoes and egg. Then, using your hands, knead the mixture lightly to a soft dough.&amp;nbsp;Transfer the mixture to a floured surface, flour your hands and divide it into small pieces. Now roll each&amp;nbsp;piece into a sausage shape approximately thick as a finger, then cut it,&amp;nbsp;into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces, placing them on a tray&amp;nbsp;as they are cut. Refrigerate for at least half an hour.&lt;br /&gt;Now prepare the sauce. Peel and deseed pumpkin. Cut in slices 3-4cm (1.5-2inch) thick, then&amp;nbsp;cut again using a &lt;a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41127TTCVTL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;mandoline slicer&lt;/a&gt;. Melt butter in a medium size pan, pour in pumpkin and cook at medium heat, stirring often, for about 8-10 minutes and add salt. Set aside. Now bring a large pan with about 3.5 litres of water to simmer, then add coarse salt (2tbs will do).&amp;nbsp; They are ready&amp;nbsp;Prepare the fondue, pouring in a small saucepan grind castelmagno cheese, cream and milk. Cook at very low heat. As you will need few minutes to prepare it, you should cook just as when you will cook the gnocchi.&amp;nbsp;So, &amp;nbsp;drop the gnocchi in the salted boiling water, they are ready when they start to float on the surface. Remove them with a draining spoon and transfer to the pan with pumpkin. Stir and tranfer into plates. Pour in the castelmagno fondue and serve.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&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/31933112-6566529985050567636?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/6566529985050567636/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/11/gnocchi-di-castagne-con-zucca-e-fonduta.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6566529985050567636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6566529985050567636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/11/gnocchi-di-castagne-con-zucca-e-fonduta.html' title='Gnocchi di castagne con zucca e fonduta di castelmagno'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CS-f4mPjz6w/TslOywo-ZSI/AAAAAAAACVg/j9RqxYLWwaI/s72-c/Gnocchi_castagne_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-876646286240566647</id><published>2011-11-13T17:48:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T19:30:55.703+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biscotti - Biscuits'/><title type='text'>Biscotti con noci macadamia</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qeEkqMAI47o/TsALKYoeTiI/AAAAAAAACVE/YB22hH6fKys/s1600/Biscotti_macadamia-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qeEkqMAI47o/TsALKYoeTiI/AAAAAAAACVE/YB22hH6fKys/s400/Biscotti_macadamia-1.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cosa fare in una pigra domenica quando non avete voglia di uscire? Ma, che domande, ovviamente preparare biscotti! Non volete perderci troppo tempo, fare una cosa semplice semplice ma che allo stesso tempo vi farà fare una bella figura se invitate qualcuno nel pomeriggio per il thè? Questa è la ricetta giusta, si può fare a mano oppure in 5 minuti s'impasta tutto in un robot. Se non trovate le noci macadamia, potete provare a sostituirle con le mandorle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 18 biscotti&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt;: 200gr di farina - 110gr di zucchero - 130 gr di burro - 1 uovo intero - 1 tuorlo - 1 cucchiaino di essenza di vaniglia - 100gr di noci macadamia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Impastare velocemente la farina con il burro e lo zucchero, aggiungere le uova, l'essenza di vaniglia e le noci macadamia tritate grossolanamente (meglio se a coltello, per evitare di sbriciolarle). Formare una palla, avvolgerla nella pellicola e conservarla in frigorifero per almeno un'ora. Trascorso questo tempo, tirare fuori, e su una superficie ben infarinata stendere l'impasto con un mattarello ad un'altezza di circa mezzo centimetro. Ritagliate dei biscotti con la forma che preferite, io ne ho ottenuti 18 con uno stampo tondo del diametro di 5cm.&amp;nbsp;Sistemarli su una teglia rivestita di carta forno ed infornare a 160° per 20 minuti, forno ventilato (con forno statico ci vorrà qualche minuto in più).&amp;nbsp; Far raffreddare su di una gratella.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pUxVDoQ0bJA/TsAK0KxLx_I/AAAAAAAACU0/j-a8dzkCSM8/s1600/Union+Jack_0.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pUxVDoQ0bJA/TsAK0KxLx_I/AAAAAAAACU0/j-a8dzkCSM8/s1600/Union+Jack_0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"&gt;Macadamia nut biscuits&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What can you do on a lazy sunday when you don't feel like going out? I know, what a silly question, bake biscuits, of course! You don't want to waste too much time preparing them, but you're looking for something easy but that will make a good impression on your friends invited for&amp;nbsp;tea time. This is the right recipe, you can knead this with your hands or use a foodprocessor and spend five minutes. You can also substitute macadamia nuts with almonds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 18 biscuits&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz)flour - 110gr (0.49cup - 3.9oz) sugar - 130gr (0.6cup - 4.8oz)&amp;nbsp;butter - 1 egg - 1 egg yolk - 1tsp vanilla extract - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz)&amp;nbsp;macadamia nuts&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knead together flour, sugar and butter, then add eggs, vanilla extract and finally, macadamia nuts (better if you use knife to avoid them crumble). Form a ball and wrap it in a polythene bag, place in the fridge for at least 1 hour. After this time, take the the pastry and, on a floured surface, roll it out with a rolling pin at half centimeter (¼ inch) thick, and cut out biscuits with your favourite cutter. I used a round one with a diameter of 5cm (2 inch)&amp;nbsp; to make 18 biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet coverded with parchment paper and bake at 160°&amp;nbsp; (310°F) for 20 minutes. Cool down a wire rack.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&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/31933112-876646286240566647?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/876646286240566647/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/11/biscotti-con-noci-macadamia.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/876646286240566647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/876646286240566647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/11/biscotti-con-noci-macadamia.html' title='Biscotti con noci macadamia'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qeEkqMAI47o/TsALKYoeTiI/AAAAAAAACVE/YB22hH6fKys/s72-c/Biscotti_macadamia-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-4442620829626747296</id><published>2011-10-29T12:36:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-29T12:37:37.136+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Crostate - Tarts'/><title type='text'>Crostata di zucca, cannella e mele</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p-qYbMzQLBk/TqvWhXFdbeI/AAAAAAAACUM/IAi-ZKLpykE/s1600/Crostata+zucca+e+mele_01_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p-qYbMzQLBk/TqvWhXFdbeI/AAAAAAAACUM/IAi-ZKLpykE/s400/Crostata+zucca+e+mele_01_resize.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'autunno è ormai arrivato&amp;nbsp;e finalmente si può iniziare ad utilizzare uno dei miei ingredienti preferiti della stagione: la zucca. Un alimento super versatile che utilizzo in zuppe, primi, contorni e, ovviamente dolci. Non ricordo chi tra i miei contatti su Twitter poco tempo fa ha lanciato l'idea di questa crostata di mele particolare, dove la zucca e la cannella si trovano nell'impasto. Mi è piaciuta molto e ho provato a sperimentarla: il risultato è una pasta frolla molto morbida, dolce e speziata, che si sposa perfettamente con le mele.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per la frolla&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;200gr di polpa di zucca già pulita - 300gr di farina - 150gr di zucchero - 1 cucchiaino di cannella - 120gr di burro - 1 uovo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per la farcitura&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 mele renette, piccole - 1 cucchiaio e ½ di zucchero - 1 cucchiaino di cannella - 30gr di burro, fuso&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tagliare la zucca a fette e cuocerla al vapore (15-20 minuti). Non appena cotta, schiacciarla con una forchetta in una ciotola. Lasciar raffreddare. Impastare velocemente la farina, lo zucchero, il burro freddo tagliato a tocchetti, la cannella, la zucca e l'uovo (a mano o con un robot). L'impasto ottenuto è piuttosto morbido, avvolgerlo nella pellicola e conservarlo in frigo per almeno tre ore. Volendo, si può anche preparare il giorno prima. Tirare fuori dal frigo, sistemare su di un foglio di carta forno leggermente infarinato e stenderle con il mattarello, formando un disco del diametro di 26-28cm. Trasferire la pasta su una teglia da forno (con il foglio di carta forno). Sbucciare le mele e privarle del torsolo, tagliare a fettine sottili, quindi sistemarle sulla pasta, partendo dall'esterno e lasciando un bordo di ca. mezzo centimetro. Una volta arrivati al centro, sistemare i pezzetti di mela avanzati che avrete tagliato a dadini. In una ciotolina mescolare assieme lo zucchero e la cannella e&amp;nbsp;spolverizzarli sulla crostata, infine spennellarvi il burro fuso. Infornare a 190°C per 40 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R1-BqM64qg4/TqvWjS2hMXI/AAAAAAAACUU/UWWCZ0CmMuE/s1600/Crostata+zucca+e+mele_02_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R1-BqM64qg4/TqvWjS2hMXI/AAAAAAAACUU/UWWCZ0CmMuE/s400/Crostata+zucca+e+mele_02_resize.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P3n9ExBUxyI/TqvVMo1h8pI/AAAAAAAACUE/TBDeGcGU5h0/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P3n9ExBUxyI/TqvVMo1h8pI/AAAAAAAACUE/TBDeGcGU5h0/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"&gt;Pumpkin and cinnamon apple tart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Autumn has arrived and finally we can find one of my favourite ingredients of this season: pumpkin. This is a very versatile ingredient that I use in soups, main courses, side dishes and, of course, desserts. I don't remember who, between my Twitter contacts, few days ago wrote about the idea of an apple tart which had in the pastry pumpkin and cinnamon. I liked it so much that I wanted to try it and here it is, a very soft and spicy pastry which goes along just perfectly with apples.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the pastry&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) pumpkin pulp - 300gr (1.3cup - 10.5oz) flour - 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6) sugar - 1tsp cinnamon powder - 120gr (0.52cup &amp;nbsp;- 4.2oz)&amp;nbsp;butter - 1 egg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the filling&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 cox apples, small - 1&amp;nbsp;½ tbs sugar - 1tsp cinnamon powder - 30gr butter, melted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Slice pumpkin and steam for 15 minutes. When cooked, smash it with a fork in a bowl and cool down. Now prepare the pastry and knead flour, sugar, cold butter, diced, cinnamon, pumpikin and egg. You wil obtain a very smooth pastry, then form a ball, wrap it in a polythene bagand&amp;nbsp;place it in the fridge for at least three hours. You can also prepare it the day before. Take the pastry and roll it out on parchment paper lightly floured forming a circle so the width measures 11 inches (28cm) across. Transfer on a baking sheet. Peel apples, remove the core and slice them, then arrange the slices on the pastry, one inch from the edge, in circles overlapping each other. When you arrive toward the centre, place aplle leftovers, diced. In a small bowl mix together sugar and cinnamon. Brush sliced apples with melted butter, sprinkle sugar and bake at 190° (375°F) for 40 minutes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&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/31933112-4442620829626747296?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/4442620829626747296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/10/crostata-di-zucca-cannella-e-mele_29.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4442620829626747296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4442620829626747296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/10/crostata-di-zucca-cannella-e-mele_29.html' title='Crostata di zucca, cannella e mele'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p-qYbMzQLBk/TqvWhXFdbeI/AAAAAAAACUM/IAi-ZKLpykE/s72-c/Crostata+zucca+e+mele_01_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-4320016178831348066</id><published>2011-09-28T12:24:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-28T12:26:23.175+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antipasti - Appetizers'/><title type='text'>Mini-muffin con salame e fontal</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h1VrvVhMrjw/TnIujyuF9zI/AAAAAAAACTE/cmBzKNNWpTA/s1600/Mini_muffi_salame_01_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h1VrvVhMrjw/TnIujyuF9zI/AAAAAAAACTE/cmBzKNNWpTA/s400/Mini_muffi_salame_01_resize.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ce ne ho messo di tempo per sfornare questi muffin, ma ce l'ho fatta alla fine. Per ricominciare con la muffin mania, stavolta vi propongo dei mini-muffin salati, ideali come aperitivo e molto, molto sfiziosi. Anche questi, come le ultime ricette pubblicate, sono stati preparati con i salami di &lt;a href="http://www.trevalli.it/"&gt;Trevalli&lt;/a&gt; di Cavour (TO).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 20 mini-muffin&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ingredienti: 150gr di farina – 30gr di parmigiano grattugiato – 1 cucchiaino di sale – ½ cucchiaino di pepe nero macinato - 7gr di lievito secco (1 bustina) – 100ml di latte – 70gr di burro fuso - 1 uovo – 50gr di salame tagliato a dadini – 50gr di fontal tagliato a dadini&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In una ciotola mescolare prima gli ingredienti asciutti: farina, sale, pepe, lievito e parmigiano grattugiato. In un’altra ciotola mescolare gli ingredienti liquidi: sbattere l’uovo con il burro fuso ed aggiungere il latte. Unire assieme i due composti e lavorare molto velocemente, infine aggiungere il salame e il fontal, entrambi tagliati a dadini. Imburrare due stampi per mini muffin e riempirli con l’impasto. Infornare a 180° per 30 minuti. Al termine della cottura attendere 10 minuti prima di togliere i muffin dallo stampo. Servire freddi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gB9w23djA4k/TnIunhfgxlI/AAAAAAAACTI/THmkc3x61Os/s1600/Cavour_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gB9w23djA4k/TnIunhfgxlI/AAAAAAAACTI/THmkc3x61Os/s400/Cavour_resize.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JVR8jirevq0/TnIqF3RaSxI/AAAAAAAACTA/QnwtV337OZs/s1600/United+States.1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JVR8jirevq0/TnIqF3RaSxI/AAAAAAAACTA/QnwtV337OZs/s1600/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FWN0s_ewUUU/TnIqFM1bc_I/AAAAAAAACS8/BWmhJ6QRxEk/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FWN0s_ewUUU/TnIqFM1bc_I/AAAAAAAACS8/BWmhJ6QRxEk/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"&gt;Salami and cheese mini-muffin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took me a long time to bake these muffins but, here I am at last. To start again with the muffin mania, this time here's some savoury mini-muffins, perfect &amp;nbsp;as an appetizer and really tasty. Just as in the last published recipes, I prepared this one with salami from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.trevalli.it/"&gt;Trevalli&lt;/a&gt;, Cavour (TO).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Makes 20 mini-muffins&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ingredients: 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz)flour - 30gr (1oz) ground parmesan - 1tsp salt -&amp;nbsp;½tsp ground black pepper - 7gr (1.3tsp) baking powder - 100ml (3.5oz) milk - 70gr (0.3cup - 2.4oz) butter, melted - 1 egg - 50gr (0.2cup - 1.8oz) diced salami - 50gr&amp;nbsp;(0.2cup - 1.8oz)&amp;nbsp;diced fontal (if you can't find it, use plain cheddar)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In a bowl, star mixing together dried ingredients: flour, salt, pepper, baking powder amd parmesan. In another bowl lightly whisk egg with melted butter and milk. Pour in dried ingredients, stir quickly and finally add salami and cheese, both diced. Stir again. Grease two mini muffin tins and spoon in the mixture. Bake at 180°C (350°F - gas mark 4) for 30 minutes. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack before cooling completely. Serve cold.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F-wBaqS7v40/TnIupAusTaI/AAAAAAAACTM/LhUmm2aBOZU/s1600/Mini_muffi_salame_02_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F-wBaqS7v40/TnIupAusTaI/AAAAAAAACTM/LhUmm2aBOZU/s400/Mini_muffi_salame_02_resize.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-4320016178831348066?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/4320016178831348066/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/09/mini-muffin-con-salame-e-fontal.html#comment-form' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4320016178831348066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4320016178831348066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/09/mini-muffin-con-salame-e-fontal.html' title='Mini-muffin con salame e fontal'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h1VrvVhMrjw/TnIujyuF9zI/AAAAAAAACTE/cmBzKNNWpTA/s72-c/Mini_muffi_salame_01_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-1748001631309881723</id><published>2011-07-26T18:51:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-03T11:45:43.566+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pizze e focacce'/><title type='text'>Focaccia con pomodorini, cipolle e salsiccia Napoli piccante</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zo_lG2BBLfI/Ti7xCxCtGGI/AAAAAAAACSo/5LKaVawwNmY/s1600/Focaccia_salsiccia%2Bpiccante_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633705213713782882" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zo_lG2BBLfI/Ti7xCxCtGGI/AAAAAAAACSo/5LKaVawwNmY/s400/Focaccia_salsiccia%2Bpiccante_resize.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Quest'estate 2011 è davvero anomala per le temperature: difficilmente si superano i 25 gradi di giorno e la notte si scende fino a 16, ecco, allora, lasciamo pure da parte insalate di riso e compagnia bella, e concediamoci qualcosa di caldo e di più calorico. Questa è un'altra ricetta preparata coi salumi &lt;a href="http://www.trevalli.it/"&gt;Tre Valli&lt;/a&gt;, ed in particolare con la salsiccia piccante, ottima su pizze e focacce.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per la pasta:&lt;/i&gt; 100gr di farina di grano duro – 250gr di farina tipo Manitoba - 150gr di farina 00 - 5gr di lievito di birra - 300ml di acqua - 1 cucchiaio di olio extravergine di oliva - 2 cucchiaini e mezzo di sale - 2 cucchiaini di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per la copertura:&lt;/i&gt; ca. 10 pomodorini ciliegia – 1 cipolla bianca piccola – salsiccia Napoli piccante - sale grosso q.b. – 2 o 3 cucchiai di olio extravergine di oliva per spennellare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Con Macchina del Pane o impastatrice: Mettere gli ingredienti nella MdP secondo le istruzioni del costruttore, e selezionare il programma impasto. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A mano: Mescolare i tre tipi di farina con il sale, aggiungere gradatamente l'acqua tiepida e poi il lievito fatto sciogliere in un poco d'acqua e zucchero.

So, now, leave aside insalata di riso (rice salad) and company, and let's have some warm and high-calorie food.  This, is another recipe with &lt;a href="http://www.trevalli.it/"&gt;Tre Valli&lt;/a&gt; products, in particular with hot sausage, great on pizza and focaccia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the dough:&lt;/i&gt; 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) hard wheat flour – 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) Manitoba flour - 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) all purpose flour - 5gr (1.1tsp) brewer's yeast - 300ml (1.2cup - 10oz) water - 1tbs extravirgin olive oil - 2&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 100%; line-height: 18px;"&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;tsp salt - 2tsp sugar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the topping:&lt;/i&gt; about 10 cherry tomatoes – 1 small white onion – hot sausage* - coarse salt – 2 or 3tbs extravirgin olive oil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;*quantity at will&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;With a kneader or a bread machine:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Put all ingredients into the kneader or the bread machine, following the constructor's instructions, selecting kneading program, for bread machine. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Without a kneader or a bread machine: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mix all flours with salt, add by degrees warm water and yeast - melted in a bit of water with sugar. Knead until you'll obtain a soft and elastic dough, then add oil. Leave the dough to rise for three hours. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Strain the dough with your hands in a pan, then pinch it deeply with your fingers. Leave again to rise for 45 minutes then generously brush with oil, place tomatoes, halved, pushing them slightly into the dough, add onion cut into thin slices, sprinkle with coarse salt and bake at 250°C (480° F) for 20 minutes.

Questo primo non è sicuramente un piatto fresco e leggero pensato per il caldo estivo ma, dato che qui al nord il tempo quest'estate è stato clemente e abbiamo temperature miti, la salsiccia Tre Valli capita proprio ad hoc. Se siete stufi delle solite insalate, capresi o piatti freddi, provate questo piatto di pasta!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 4 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti: &lt;/b&gt;350gr di fusilli bucati corti – 300gr di salsiccia – 2 zucchine piccole – 1 bustina di zafferano – vino bianco secco q.b. – 1 rametto di maggiorana – 2 cucchiai di olio extravergine di oliva - sale – pepe nero – parmigiano grattugiato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Privare la salsiccia della pelle, sbriciolarla e metterla in un tegame. Farla cuocere a fuoco medio, mescolando spesso con un cucchiaio di legno. Dopo circa 7-8 minuti sfumare con del vino bianco e ultimare la cottura. Tenere da parte. In un altro padellino far scaldare l’olio e aggiungere le zucchine pulite e tagliate a dadini e la maggiorana. Sciogliere lo zafferano con un poco di acqua calda e aggiungerlo alle zucchine. Salare, coprire con un coperchio e far cuocere per 15 minuti a fuoco medio, mescolando di tanto in tanto. A cottura ultimata mescolare alla salsiccia. Nel frattempo, cuocere in abbondante acqua salata i fusilli, che una volta scolati vanno mescolati al condimento di salsiccia e zucchine. Servire subito, aggiungere a piacere pepe nero e parmigiano grattugiato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oDpZSi9TpVQ/TiPzHr3wc5I/AAAAAAAACRw/Pu7Zoy_HKNw/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630611272504472466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rgsS8uKUz2E/TiPzCAZy7jI/AAAAAAAACRo/gapNYHwrR-M/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630611174936735282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Fusilli bucati corti with sausage and saffron courgettes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As I have announced in the last post, from now on you will find some recipes made with the products from the &lt;a href="http://www.trevalli.it/"&gt;Tre Valli&lt;/a&gt; cold meat factory. This pasta dish is not a refreshing and light dish thought for the hot summer wheather but, as here in the north of Italy this year we're having mild temperatures, the Tre Valli sausage is just perfect. If you had enough of salads, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insalata_Caprese"&gt;caprese&lt;/a&gt; or cold dishes, try this pasta!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Serves 4&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients: &lt;/b&gt;350gr (&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);   line-height: 18px; font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  line-height: 18px; font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;cup - 12oz) fusilli bucati corti – 300gr (1.3cup - 10.5oz) sausage – 2 small courgettes (zucchini) – 1tsp saffron powder – dry white wine – 1 marjoram small branch – 2tbs extravirgin olive oil - salt – black pepper – grounded parmesan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Skin off sausage and place it in a sauce pan previously heated. Cook at medium heat stirring often with a wood spoon. After 6-7 minutes add white wine and finish cooking. Set aside. Prepare the courgettes, trim off the stalky ends, wash them thoroughly and dice them. Heat oil in a small saucepan and add courgettes, marjoram, salt and saffron powder melted in warm water (about 1tbs). Put a lid on and cook for 15 minutes, stirring from time to time. When done, add sausage and take out marjoram. In the meantime, cook pasta in salted, boiling water till al dente (this kind of pasta normally needs 10 minutes), drain it in a colander then place it in a bowl with sausage and courgettes. Serve hot, add black pepper and parmesan if you like.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Fusilli bucati corti with sausage and saffron zucchini on Foodista" href="http://www.foodista.com/recipe/B5V3RW76/fusilli-bucati-corti-with-sausage-and-saffron-zucchini" style="display: block; padding: 5px; border: 5px solid #C44F50; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; background-color: #fff; width: 100px; text-align: center; text-indent: 0;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Fusilli bucati corti with sausage and saffron zucchini on Foodista" src="http://cf.foodista.com/static/images/widget_logo_md.png" style="border: none; width: 84px; height: 18px; padding: 0; margin: 0;" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://dyn.foodista.com/content/embed/z1.png?foodista_widget_B5V3RW76_XHS8BLWT" style="display: none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-9063611339309566550?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/9063611339309566550/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/07/fusilli-bucati-corti-con-salsiccia-e.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/9063611339309566550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/9063611339309566550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/07/fusilli-bucati-corti-con-salsiccia-e.html' title='Fusilli bucati corti con salsiccia e zucchine allo zafferano'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vTqrvDEPyf0/TiPzbV5lYQI/AAAAAAAACR4/heBRaTIfurc/s72-c/Fusilli%2Bbucati_salsiccia_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-7418284778576960523</id><published>2011-07-14T12:08:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-14T12:14:40.392+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Piatti unici - All-in-one courses'/><title type='text'>Tortillas con salsiccia e pomodori</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eSX2LcnOb4k/Th6_uc4xGzI/AAAAAAAACRI/5ZLP6oxAT38/s1600/Tortilla.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eSX2LcnOb4k/Th6_uc4xGzI/AAAAAAAACRI/5ZLP6oxAT38/s400/Tortilla.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629147389008878386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questa è la prima ricetta di altre che seguiranno preparate con i prodotti del salumificio &lt;a href="http://www.trevalli.it/"&gt;Tre Valli&lt;/a&gt; di Cavour (TO). Tre Valli produce salumi di alta qualità con materie prime esclusivamente italiane: salami (crudi e cotti), pancette, coppe, lardi, prosciutti, cotechini, salsicce ed altro ancora. Io li sto provando per voi (che incredibile sacrificio!;-P) e posso garantirvi che, per ora, la salsiccia Tre Valli sta riscuotendo un notevole successo a casa mia, presto troverete anche altre ricette. Questa fa senza dubbio parte di quelle veloci, una sorta di fajitas decisamente semplificate ma molto gustosa e di sicuro successo, adatta un pò a tutte le stagioni.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 4 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 12 o più tortillas di grano (dipende dall'appetito dei commensali) - 300gr di salsiccia - due cipolle bianche di media grandezza - 4 o 5 pomodori ramati grandi - tre cucchiai di olio extravergine di oliva - 8-10 semi di cumino - sale - pepe&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In una larga padella scaldare l'olio, aggiungere la cipolla tagliata sottilissima (con la midollina) e far cuocere a fuoco medio mescolando spesso in modo che non si bruci, per circa 8-10 minuti. Trasferire la cipolla cotta in una ciotola e tenere da parte. Togliere la pelle alla salsiccia e sbriciolarla direttamente nella padella, cuocere a fuoco vivo mescolando spesso con un cucchiaio di legno. Aggiungere il cumino e, non appena cotta, la cipolla. Mescolare e lasciare sul fuoco abbassando la temperatura. Intanto lavare i pomodori, tagliarli a fette e a listarelle sottili. Versarli nella padella, aggiungere sale e pepe a piacere, aumentare al massimo la temperatura e cuocere per 5 minuti, sempre mescolando.  Appena pronto versare il tutto in una pirofila che avrete tenuto in caldo in forno, servire con le tortillas anch'esse ben calde (basta 1 minuto e mezzo nel microonde a 650W).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KZoz8tz16DY/Th3WZ4KWyzI/AAAAAAAACQo/ZB-cPkXlxkg/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628890849343884082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nn-HC82b83s/Th3WP4xEwWI/AAAAAAAACQg/hcFkFqBGtXc/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628890677707587938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Tortillas with sausage and fresh tomatoes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is the first of many other recipes prepared with the products from the &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.trevalli.it"&gt;Tre Valli&lt;/a&gt; cold meat factory of Cavour (Turin). Tre Valli produces high quality cold meats with Italian only raw material: salami (raw or cooked), bacon, coppa (seasoned pork shoulder), lard, ham, cotechino (large boiled park sausage), sausage and more. I am currently still trying them for you (what an incredible sacrifice! ;-P ) and I can assure you that, so far, Tre Valli sausage is having a huge success here so, soon you'll find some more recipes. This one goes in the section "the quick ones", a kind of a really simplified fajitas, but tasty and of secure success, suitable for all seasons.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;Serves 4&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients: &lt;/b&gt;12 or more wheat tortillas - 300gr (1.3 cup - 10.5oz) sausage - two medium size white onions - 4 o 5 big tomatoes - 3tbs extravirgin olive oil - 8-10 cumin seeds - salt - pepper&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;In a large saucepan heat oil, then fry onions cut into very thin slices. Set at medium heat, stir often to prevent from sticking and burning. When cooked (you will need few minutes) transfer into a bowl and set aside. Now peel off the sausage, cook it in the same saucepan using a wood spoon to crumble it. Add cumin then, when done, pour in onions. Stir well. In the meantime, cut tomatoes into thin slices, and cut the slices into thin stripes. Add tomatoes to the sausage mixture, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes at maximum heat stirring.

Questa torta l'ho preparata proprio al limite di stagione, qui al nord poi l'estate ha continuato a tardare quindi ho avuto tutto il tempo per mangiare asparagi. L'idea è nata dal classico pecorino con la fave romano,  qui però le fave non ci sono semplicemente perché non mi piacciono e, già che c'ero, ho aggiunto un pò di guanciale (che col pecorino, "è la morte sua"). La torta può essere servita come antipasto finger food - tagliata magari a dadini - oppure come classico piatto unico o anche secondo. Si consuma sia calda, sia fredda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;gredienti&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per la pasta: &lt;/i&gt;100gr di farina - 100gr di farina integrale - 100gr di acqua appena tiepida - 1 cucchiaio di olio extravergine di oliva - 1 cucchiaino di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per il ripieno: 200gr di asparagi - 100gr di guanciale - 3 uova- 60gr di pecorino romano grattugiato - 40gr di latte - 100gr di panna da cucina - sale - pepe&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Impastare insieme i due tipi di farina, l'acqua, il sale e l'olio (io uso il robot), formare una palla, avvolgere nella pellicola e lasciar riposare mezz'ora in frigo. Intanto far cuocere gli asparagi al vapore, avendo cura di eliminare prima la parte dura dei gambi, tenendo solo le punte. Non farli cuocere troppo perché termineranno la cottura in forno (basteranno 4-5 minuti). Tenerli da parte. In una ciotola sbattere le uova, aggiungere sale e pepe, la panna, il latte, il pecorino e per ultimo il guanciale che avrete tagliato a dadini e mescolare. Tirare fuori dal frigo la pasta e stenderla con un mattarello, quindi sistemarla in una teglia rotonda di 24cm di diametro imburrata o rivestita di carta forno bagnata e strizzata. Sistemare gli asparagi sulla base e versare il composto nello stampo, infine infornare a 180° per 30 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w2o7hQ_jxtY/ThLXgeVJdQI/AAAAAAAACQI/MsqQPddVzIM/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625795837436720386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hOTi1W_f2w8/ThLXZo1h2jI/AAAAAAAACQA/Oalg_bk5YcU/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625795719997807154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Savoury cake with asparagus, lard and pecorino roman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's true, asparagus season just ended, though you can still find some in foodstores. This cake was made at the end of the season but here in the north summer was so late this year that I had plenty of time to eat asparagus. The idea comes from the roman classic "pecorino with broad beans" - the difference is that you don't have broad beans here because I don't like them - and I also added lard (the one from the pig's cheek, not bacon), which is so good with pecorino. The cake can be served as a finger food appetizer - cut into smal cubes - as an all in one main course or also as a main course. Can be eaten warm or cold.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the dough: &lt;/i&gt;100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) flour - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) wholewheat flour - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) water - 1 tbs extravirgin olive oil - 1tsp salt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the filling:&lt;/i&gt; 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) asparagus - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) diced lard - 3 eggs - 60gr (0.27cup - 2.11oz) grated pecorino romano - 40gr (1½oz) milk - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) cream - salt - pepper&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Knead together both flour, water, oil and salt (I use the food processor), form a ball, wrap it in a polythene bag and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the asparagus. Take off each stalk, then steam the spears for 4-5 minutes (just to half-cook them, you'll finish cooking in the oven). Set aside. In a bowl beat eggs, then season with salt and pepper, add cream, milk, pecorino and lard. Stir well. Now take the pastry and roll it out to line a round tin (greased or covered with parchment paper, wet and well squeezed) of 24cm diameter (9inch). Take asparagus spears and arrange them over the base of the pastry, pour in mixture  and bake at 180° C (350°F - gas mark 4) for 30 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3618475622702308397?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3618475622702308397/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/07/torta-con-asparagi-guanciale-e-pecorino.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3618475622702308397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3618475622702308397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/07/torta-con-asparagi-guanciale-e-pecorino.html' title='Torta con asparagi, guanciale e pecorino romano'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UVfzFnoGCCg/ThLhFszjxEI/AAAAAAAACQQ/YXOltgLbn3g/s72-c/Torta%2BAsp_guanc_pecorino.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-6934048447976006283</id><published>2011-06-24T15:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-05T11:14:37.382+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Multipurpose muffin</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U4CRHhtXVNE/TgN5MuP8_iI/AAAAAAAACPg/OrUDqGrVilE/s1600/Multipurpose%2Bmuffin_resize.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U4CRHhtXVNE/TgN5MuP8_iI/AAAAAAAACPg/OrUDqGrVilE/s400/Multipurpose%2Bmuffin_resize.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621470019368844834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E' da tanto, tantissimo che non scrivo ed in questi anni non era mai successo. In tanti anni non ho mai perso la voglia di cucinare, sperimentare e creare ma, come si dice, c'è sempre una prima volta, e succede che la vita ti metta di fronte a certe prove per cui anche le cose che hai sempre amato fare, all'improvviso perdono di significato ed importanza. La vita però va avanti, e piano piano il piacere per le piccole cose riprende per cui, con quale ricetta potevo riniziare a scrivere? Ma dei muffin ovviamente! Li ho chiamati "multi-purpose" perché si tratta di un impasto di base molto semplice che può essere utilizzato con l'ingrediente jolly che preferite: frutta, creme (pasticcera, di gianduia, di marroni, Nutella, etc.), marmellata, gocce di cioccolato. I muffin nella foto sono al &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/03/lemon-curd.html"&gt;lemon curd&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 250gr di farina - 130gr di zucchero - 1 ½ cucchiaino di lievito -1 pizzico di sale - 100gr di burro - 50gr di latte - 2 uova - 150gr di yogurt naturale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mescolare assieme in una ciotola gli ingredienti secchi: farina, zucchero, sale e lievito. In un'altra ciotola mescolare invece quelli liquidi:  sbattere velocemente le uova, aggiungere il burro fuso, il latte e lo yoghurt. Unire assieme i due composti, quindi riempire per per due terzi degli stampini per muffin che avrete imburrato o rivestito con i pirottini di carta. Aggiungere quindi a piacere frutta, marmellata o crema. Infornare a 180° per 25-30 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ko9xKf6XSg0/TgN49MVYUmI/AAAAAAAACPY/MHWR-6ssNQQ/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621469752566764130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ClP8JgbBG4s/TgN449czekI/AAAAAAAACPQ/MQoUE4Y_4z8/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621469679851895362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Multipurpose muffin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's been ages since I last wrote a post, and during these years it never happened. In many years I've never  lost the love for cooking but, as it is said, there's always a first time. Sometimes life puts you in front of adversities, and during these moments all the things that you've always loved suddenly lose meaning and importance. Well, life goes on, and little by little the pleasure for little things starts coming back, so which recipe did I chose to restart writing? Muffin, of course! I named these ones "multi - purpose" because you can use the basic batter with your preferred ingredient: fruit, creams (whipped, hazelnuts', chestnuts', Nutella, etc.), jam or chocolate drops. The muffins in the picture are made with &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/03/lemon-curd.html"&gt;lemon curd&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) flour - 130gr (0.6cup - 4.8oz) sugar - 1tsp ½ baking powder - 1 pinch of salt - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) butter - 50gr milk - 2 eggs - 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) natural yoghurt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In a large bowl mix together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. In another bowl mix the liquid ones: quickly whisk eggs, then add melted butter, milk and yoghurt.  Pour in dry ingredients, stir, then spoon the mixture into a greased muffin tin. Now add your favourite ingredient: fruit, jam or cream. Bake at 180° (350F - gas mark 4) for 25-30 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&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/31933112-6934048447976006283?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/6934048447976006283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/05/multipurpose-muffin.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6934048447976006283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6934048447976006283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/05/multipurpose-muffin.html' title='Multipurpose muffin'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U4CRHhtXVNE/TgN5MuP8_iI/AAAAAAAACPg/OrUDqGrVilE/s72-c/Multipurpose%2Bmuffin_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-7874116168201426785</id><published>2011-03-19T12:01:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-19T12:24:55.030+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conserve - preserves'/><title type='text'>Lemon curd</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zOIq_lKZvVo/TYSNxyBduBI/AAAAAAAACNk/Hodaa4LZREM/s1600/Lemon%2Bcurd%252302_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zOIq_lKZvVo/TYSNxyBduBI/AAAAAAAACNk/Hodaa4LZREM/s400/Lemon%2Bcurd%252302_resize.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585745324227278866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il lemon curd è una delle creme più golose che esistano in assoluto.

Per la sua preparazione vanno utilizzati limoni non trattati (io ho usato quelli siciliani del &lt;a href="http://www.arance.it/"&gt;Biviere&lt;/a&gt;) e, una volta aperto un vasetto, la crema va consumata in pochi giorni.

Continuare a battere con la frusta (utilizzarne una &lt;a href="http://iweb.cooking.com/images/products/enlarge/433061e.jpg"&gt;tonda&lt;/a&gt;) finché la crema inizierà ad addensarsi - circa 7-8 minuti. Abbassare quindi la fiamma al minimo e lasciare sobbollire ancora per qualche minuto, sempre continuando a mescolare con la frusta. Rimuovere dal fuoco. Versare la crema nei vasetti sterilizzati, riempiendoli il più possibile, quindi chiudere subito i vasetti. Capovolgerli per 10 minuti ed etichettare quando i vasetti sono freddi. Il lemon curd si conserva bene per diverse settimane, in luogo fresco e asciutto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5YN_EswcJiI/TYSNltgbkYI/AAAAAAAACNc/lXIEWj_reoI/s400/Lemon%2Bcurd%252301_resize.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585745116856553858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PscndKGSdMk/TYSLKubQ01I/AAAAAAAACNE/3easwZrhS0Y/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 15px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585742454223590226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5i1OkJr14yE/TYSM6h51V6I/AAAAAAAACNM/TXetRska6Fc/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 16px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585744375007500194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);font-size:130%;" class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Lemon curd&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lemon curd is one of the most gorgeous cream ever. It is used to fill layer cakes, tarts, biscuits, as an ice-cream topping, or you can eat it just like that (it's risky, when you start eating it you'll never end!). To prepare lemon curd, use biologic lemons (I used the sicilian ones from &lt;a href="http://www.arance.it/"&gt;Biviere&lt;/a&gt;) and, once you open a jar, best before few days. Recipe by &lt;a href="http://www.deliaonline.com/"&gt;Delia Smith&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; grated zest and juice 4 large juicy lemons - 4 large eggs - 350g  (12oz) golden caster sugar - 225g  (8oz) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small lumps - 1 level dessertspoon cornflour&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;You will also need three sterilised jars (350ml - 1lb)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Begin by lightly whisking the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan, then add the rest of the ingredients and place the saucepan over a medium heat. Now whisk continuously using a &lt;a href="http://iweb.cooking.com/images/products/enlarge/433061e.jpg"&gt;balloon whisk&lt;/a&gt; until the mixture thickens – about 7-8 minutes. Next, lower the heat to its minimum setting and let the curd gently simmer for a further minute, continuing to whisk. After that, remove it from the heat. Now pour the lemon curd into the hot, sterilised jars, filling them as full as possible, cover straightaway with waxed discs, seal while it is still hot and label when it is cold. It will keep for several weeks, but it must be stored in a cool place.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_wAy99XjnKg/TYSNYf9g-OI/AAAAAAAACNU/P_YgEzspxE8/s400/Lemon%2Bcurd%252303_resize.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585744889882147042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-7874116168201426785?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/7874116168201426785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/03/lemon-curd.html#comment-form' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7874116168201426785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7874116168201426785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/03/lemon-curd.html' title='Lemon curd'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zOIq_lKZvVo/TYSNxyBduBI/AAAAAAAACNk/Hodaa4LZREM/s72-c/Lemon%2Bcurd%252302_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-88744311024960420</id><published>2011-02-17T17:20:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-17T17:29:26.113+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torte - Cakes'/><title type='text'>Torta di noci e sciroppo d'acero</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Llgunrpkblo/TV1KzmfSGeI/AAAAAAAACMU/SBL3wMky9bo/s1600/Torta%2Bnoci.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Llgunrpkblo/TV1KzmfSGeI/AAAAAAAACMU/SBL3wMky9bo/s400/Torta%2Bnoci.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574694164120082914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;La walnut pie è una torta molto diffusa nell'America del nord, e ne esistono diverse varianti: alla vaniglia, al cioccolato, alle mele e allo sciroppo d'acero. Quella allo sciroppo d'acero è forse quella più tipicamente canadese, dato che è nel Quebec, Canada, che viene prodotta la gran parte di questo sciroppo. La ricetta in questione è de &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/"&gt;La Cucina Italiana&lt;/a&gt; (ed. 10/2010).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 300gr farina - 200gr burro - 150gr sciroppo d'acero -120gr di gherigli di noce - 100gr di zucchero di canna - 2 uova - 1 tuorlo d'uovo - ½ baccello di vaniglia - sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Impastare la farina con 150gr di burro, dopo averlo ammorbidito, un pizzico di sale e 40gr di acqua. Lavorare fino ad ottenere un impasto liscio ed omogeneo, poi lasciarlo riposare in frigorifero per un'ora circa coperto dalla pellicola. Intanto, battere con la frusta le uova con lo zucchero, poi unire il restante burro, sciolto e tiepido, e le noci tritate grossolanamente. Mescolare e aggiungere lo sciroppo d'acero e i semi di mezzo baccello di vaniglia. Amalgamare bene il tutto fino ad ottenere un composto cremoso. Dividere la pasta in 2 parti (una da 160gr e una da 320gr) e stenderla in 2 sfoglie da 2-3mm di spessore. Con la sfoglia più grande foderare una tortiera da crostata (cm22 di diametro) dopo averla unta di burro. Versare il composto con le noci nella tortiera. Coprire la crostata con il secondo disco di sfoglia, facendolo aderire bene sul bordo alla pasta sottostante. Passare poi il mattarello sul bordo della tortiera, sigillando la pasta ed eliminare gli eccessi. Pennellare la superficie con il tuorlo d'uovo battuto assieme ad un cucchiaino di acqua e decorare, volendo, con i rebbi di una forchetta. Infornare a 200° C per circa 10', quindi abbassare a 180° C e proseguire la cottura perb altri 35'. Sfornare e lasciar raffreddare prima di servire, accompagnandola, se piace, con panna montata o con del gelato alla crema.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eER5f41tT9Y/TV0AG6W6TbI/AAAAAAAACL0/XJUa2bPRuD4/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 15px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574612032499109298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dwFVlCRpvdo/TV0ACPf2Y9I/AAAAAAAACLs/5R1Py0po0Z4/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 16px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574611952274400210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Maple walnut pie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Walnut pie is a very common pie in North America and you can find many version of the same pie: with vanilla, chocolate, apple and maple syrup. The maple syrup version is probably more typical of Canada, as in Quebec is produced most of the world's supply of this syrup. This recipe comes from &lt;a href="http://lacucinaitalianamagazine.com/"&gt;La Cucina Italiana&lt;/a&gt; (issue 10/2010).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 300gr (1.3cup - 10.5oz) flour - 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) butter - 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) maple syrup -120gr (0.52cup - 4.2oz) coarsely chopped walnuts - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) brown sugar - 2 eggs - 1 egg yolk - ½ vanilla pod - salt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Knead flour with 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) of softened butter, a pinch of salt and 140gr (0.62cup - 5oz) of water till you obtein a soft and smooth dough. Place it in a polythene bag and leave to rest for at least an hour. Mean while, whisk eggs with sugar, then add butter, melted, and walnuts. Mix well, then add maple syrup and halp vanilla pod. Now divide the dough into 2 parts, one weighting 160gr (5.6oz), the other 320gr (11.3oz) and roll out both 2-3mm (0.1inches) thick. Transfer the bigger one to a greased tart tin of 22cm diameter, pour in the walnut mixture then take the other pastry circle and fiti it on top of the pie. Seal the edges, folding them inwards and pressing gently to make a rim just inside the edge of the tin. Brush the surface with the egg yolk (whisked with a tsp of water) and decorate, if you like, with a fork. Bake at 200° (400°F) for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 180° (350°F) and cook for 30 minutes. Cool down before serving with whipped cream or even ice-cream.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&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/31933112-88744311024960420?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/88744311024960420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/02/torta-di-noci-e-sciroppo-dacero.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/88744311024960420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/88744311024960420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/02/torta-di-noci-e-sciroppo-dacero.html' title='Torta di noci e sciroppo d&apos;acero'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Llgunrpkblo/TV1KzmfSGeI/AAAAAAAACMU/SBL3wMky9bo/s72-c/Torta%2Bnoci.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-5694017571282466665</id><published>2011-02-05T10:47:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-13T18:46:07.953+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='World Nutella day'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi - Events'/><title type='text'>World Nutella Day 2011 - Biscotti con Nutella e nocciole</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 138px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570138457563629362" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TU0balDShzI/AAAAAAAACLU/HBqw1pxVQIk/s200/World_Nutella_Day_Final_m.jpg" /&gt; &lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Oggi, 5 Febbraio, è il &lt;a href="http://www.nutelladay.com/"&gt;World Nutella day&lt;/a&gt;, un food event mondiale creato nel 2007 da Michelle Fabio di &lt;a href="http://bleedingespresso.com/"&gt;Bleeding Es&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleedingespresso.com/"&gt;presso&lt;/a&gt; e Sara di &lt;a href="http://www.msadventuresinitaly.com/blog/"&gt;Ms Adventures in Italy&lt;/a&gt;. Nel corso degli anni, Sara e Michelle hanno raccolto tantissime ricette preparate con la Nutella ed inviate da foodbloggers un pò da tutto il mondo. La Nutella è praticamente un'istituzione, io ci sono cresciuta e la mangerei in tutti i modi: "nature" al cucchiaio, sul pane, nei biscotti, sulle crepes, nelle torte... ovunque! Questi biscotti sono semplicissimi e li ho arricchiti con nocciole tostate tagliate al coltello.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 220gr di farina - 120gr di burro - 120gr di zucchero - 200gr di Nutella - 1 uovo - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;¼&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;di cucchiaino di bicarbonato di sodio - 50gr di nocciole tostate. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Montare il burro con lo zucchero, quindi aggiungere l'uovo, la Nutella, la farina precedentemente mescolata al bicarbonato ed infine le nocciole tostate tagliate grossolanamente con un coltello. Con l'impasto ottenuto formare delle palline della grandezza di una noce e porle sulla placca da forno rivestita di carta forno, ben distanziate tra loro. Cuocere in forno caldo a 180° per ca. 20-25 minuti. Lasciare raffreddare i biscotti prima di trasferirli su di un piatto o in una scatola per conservarli: sono molto morbidi e potrebbero rompersi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570138775237638034" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TU0btEerN5I/AAAAAAAACLc/2l8eup6YyVU/s400/Biscotti%2BNutella_01_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570138302384465874" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TU0bRi9sZ9I/AAAAAAAACLM/dcipfqA4Dw8/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570138153800398866" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TU0bI5cfeBI/AAAAAAAACLE/9rNoE_xkxyY/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" /&gt; &lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"&gt;World Nutella day 2011: Nutella and hazelnut cookies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Today, 5th February, is the &lt;a href="http://www.nutelladay.com/"&gt;World Nutella Day&lt;/a&gt;, a world food event created in 2007 by Michelle Fabio from &lt;a href="http://bleedingespresso.com/"&gt;Bleeding Espresso&lt;/a&gt; and Sara from &lt;a href="http://www.msadventuresinitaly.com/blog/"&gt;Ms Adventures in Italy&lt;/a&gt;. During these years, Sara and Michelle gathered so many recipes prepared with Nutella and sent from foodbloggers all over the world. Nutella is practically an institution for me, I grew up with it and I'd eat it in many ways: "nature" with a spoon, spread on a bread slice, in cookies, crepes, pies... anyway, everywhere! These cookies are really easy to make, I also added toasted hazelnuts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 220gr (1cup - 8oz) flour - 120gr (0.52cup - 4.2oz) butter - 120gr (0.52cup - 4.2oz) sugar - 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) Nutella - 1 egg - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13;"&gt;¼ &lt;/span&gt;tsp baking soda -50gr (0.23cup - 1.8oz) toasted hazelnuts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Whisk butter with sugar until creamy, then add the egg, Nutella, flour already sifted with baking soda, last hazelnuts cut in chunks with a knife. Form with the dough lumps the size of a walnut, then roll them into rounds using the flat of your hand. Place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, giving them enough room to spread out during baking, and cook at 180°C (350F - gas mark 4) for 20-25 minutes. Leave cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring them onto a plate or in a tin box to store: they're soft and spongy when hot so they could break.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&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/31933112-5694017571282466665?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/5694017571282466665/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/02/world-nutella-day-biscotti-con-nutella.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/5694017571282466665'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/5694017571282466665'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2011/02/world-nutella-day-biscotti-con-nutella.html' title='World Nutella Day 2011 - Biscotti con Nutella e nocciole'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TU0balDShzI/AAAAAAAACLU/HBqw1pxVQIk/s72-c/World_Nutella_Day_Final_m.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-4976798406740272537</id><published>2011-01-20T18:19:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-20T18:34:05.073+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antipasti - Appetizers'/><title type='text'>Mini-muffin al parmigiano e paté di olive taggiasche</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TThuloBYj7I/AAAAAAAACKo/i1eqLQnFHWY/s1600/Mini-muffin%2Bparmigiano%252Bolive_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TThuloBYj7I/AAAAAAAACKo/i1eqLQnFHWY/s400/Mini-muffin%2Bparmigiano%252Bolive_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564318932293685170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Anche se un pò in ritardo... Buon Anno! Finalmente riesco ad avere un pò di tempo per postare una ricetta di... muffin, e cos'altro?! Inizio però la "stagione dei muffin 2011" con una ricetta salata, utilizzando gli stessi ingredienti che hanno avuto tanto successo nei &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/02/biscotti-al-parmigiano-e-pate-di-olive.html"&gt;biscottini al parmigiano e paté di olive taggiasche&lt;/a&gt;. Anche questi sono degli ottimi antipasti da servire per un aperitivo o una cena informale tra amici.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 24 mini-muffin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 150gr di farina - 80gr di parmigiano grattugiato - 2 uova - 70gr di olio extravergine di oliva - 7gr di lievito secco - 4 cucchiai di latte - 1 cucchiaino e &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt; di sale - 12 cucchiaini di paté di olive taggiasche&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mescolare assieme la farina, il parmigiano, il lievito e il sale. In un'altra ciotola mescolare velocemente le uova, l'olio e il latte ed unirvi il composto di ingredienti secchi. Versare l'impasto in uno stampo per mini muffin unto d'olio e in ognuno poi aggiungere mezzo cucchiaino di paté di olive. Con l'aiuto di uno stuzzicadenti mescolare delicatamente il paté all'impasto. Infornare a 180° per 25-30 minuti.

Happy New Year! I've finally found some time to post a recipe of... muffin, what else?! I'm starting the "2011 muffin season" with a savoury muffin recipe, using the same successful ingredients from the &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/02/biscotti-al-parmigiano-e-pate-di-olive.html"&gt;biscuits with parmesan and olives pâté&lt;/a&gt;.

In another bowl mix eggs, oil and milk. Spoon the mixture into the greased mini-muffin tin, then delicately add half teaspoon of olives paté into each one. With the help of a toothpick gently stir both mixtures. Bake at 180° C (350° F - gas mark 4) for 25-30 minutes.

Questi sono una mia personale rivisitazione dei lebkuchen tedeschi, biscotti speziati natalizi che si trovano in diverse varianti: con frutta secca, marzapane, canditi e, ovviamente spezie. Rispetto ai &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/i-miei-biscotti-natalizi.html"&gt;miei biscotti natalizi&lt;/a&gt; di qualche tempo fa questi sono decisamente meno burrosi e sono l'ideale se volete appenderli all'albero di Natale od utilizzarli come decorazione per pacchetti regalo, segnaposto, etc. La mia versione è molto speziata, ma voi potete utilizzare le spezie che preferite. Ricordatevi di forare i biscotti da crudi, prima di infornarli, se volete appenderli. Buon Natale! :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;350gr di farina - 250gr di miele - 1 uovo - 100gr di burro - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt; cucchiaino di bicarbonato di sodio - 50gr di cioccolato al latte e bianco in egual misura - 2 o 3 cucchiaini di spezie preferite, in polvere*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;*io ho usato: &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 18px; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;cucchiaino di cannella - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 18px; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;cucchiaino di zenzero - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 18px; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;cucchiaino di noce moscata - 10 chiodi di garofano - n. 3 semi di cardamomo verde - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 18px; "&gt; &lt;/span&gt;cucchiaino di coriandolo&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mescolare la farina con il bicarbonato e le spezie. Far sciogliere a bagnomaria (o anche nel microonde) il miele con il burro e il cioccolato. Far intiepidire, quindi aggiungere l'uovo sbattuto e mescolare bene. Versare per ultimo la farina e mescolare ancora fino ad ottenere un impasto liscio ed omogeneo. Su di un piano infarinato stendere l'impasto con un mattarello, ritagliare i biscotti con gli stampini che preferite e trasferirli su di una teglia coperta di carta forno. Infornare a 180° per 12-13 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TRDfKpixxwI/AAAAAAAACJ8/VkPaJV-fjXE/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553183714591229698" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TRDfOyeFbyI/AAAAAAAACKE/QdfIJpW5Usk/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553183785706942242" /&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"&gt;Christmas cookies... again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Oh yes, Christmas cookies again, the nth (my) recipe, as you can find all kinds of Christmas cookies recipes in many blogs and sites around the web. This is my personal rearrangement of the German lebkuchen, spicy Christmas cookies which can be made with different ingredients: nuts, marzipan, candid peel and, obviously, spices. Compared to my other &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/i-miei-biscotti-natalizi.html"&gt;Chrismas cookies&lt;/a&gt; recipe, it contains less butter and is just perfect if you want to hang cookies on the Christmas tree, use them as decoration for presents, placeholder, and so on. My version is very spicy, but you can use the spices that you prefer. Remember to make a hole on the cookies before baking if you like to hang them. Merry Christmas! :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;350gr (&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;cup - 12oz) flour - 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) honey - 1 egg - 100gr (0.44cup -3.5oz) butter - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;tsp baking soda - 50gr (0.2cup - 1.7oz) milk and white chocolate - 2 or 3 tsp ground spices*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;* I used: &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;tsp cinnamon - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;tsp ginger - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;tsp nutmeg - 10 cloves - 3 green cardamom seeds - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt;tsp coriander&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mix together flour, baking soda and spices. In a bowl melt together butter, honey and chocolate (use microwave or bain-marie). Cool down, then add the egg, whisk and finally pour in flour and mix well till you'll obtain a smooth dough. On a floured surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin and cut out cookies with a cookie cutter. Place them onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake at 180° (350° F) for 12-13 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&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/31933112-8615647932974364314?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/8615647932974364314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/12/ancora-biscotti-di-natale.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8615647932974364314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8615647932974364314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/12/ancora-biscotti-di-natale.html' title='Ancora... biscotti di Natale!'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TRDfZIgdCQI/AAAAAAAACKM/sFAB4sQzExI/s72-c/Biscotti%2BNatale_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-4092693643868097713</id><published>2010-12-05T18:46:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-05T18:49:59.793+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pizze e focacce'/><title type='text'>Focaccine di barbabietole con feta e olive nere di Gaeta</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TPvQK67uU4I/AAAAAAAACJ0/DYbpz83vXzI/s1600/Focaccine%2Bbarbabietola_01_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TPvQK67uU4I/AAAAAAAACJ0/DYbpz83vXzI/s400/Focaccine%2Bbarbabietola_01_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547256252073923458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Queste focaccine sono sicuramente insolite per il loro colore, ma non è la prima volta che utilizzo la barbabietola in cucina per colorare un pò di viola le mie preparazioni. In passato ho provato a fare pasta (&lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2008/01/fettuccine-rosa.html"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/02/fagottini-con-barbabietola-e-toma.html"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/03/panini-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;pane&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/04/gnocchi-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;gnocchi&lt;/a&gt; con questo tubero eccezionale, che dona colore ma anche sapore ad ogni piatto. Dato che amo i sapori contrastanti, ho deciso di unire al sapore appena dolciastro di queste focaccine quello salato e deciso tipico della feta e quello inconfondibile delle olive nere di Gaeta &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/OrtoCori/147170668638478"&gt;OrtoCori&lt;/a&gt;. Ringrazio la OrtoCori che ha inviato, a me e ad altri foodblogger, i suoi ottimi prodotti da provare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredien&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;ti&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per l'impasto&lt;/i&gt;: 300gr di farina di grano duro - 180gr di barbabietole già cotte- 270gr di acqua - 10gr di sale - 1 cucchiaio di olio di oliva -1 cucchiaino e &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 18px; "&gt;½&lt;/span&gt; di zucchero - 10gr di lievito di birra&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per la copertura&lt;/i&gt;: 4 cucchiai di olio di oliva - 200gr di feta - 20 o più olive nere di Gaeta OrtoCori&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Con Macchina del Pane o impastatrice: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mettere gli ingredienti nella MdP secondo le istruzioni del costruttore, e selezionare il programma impasto.

Impastare bene in modo da ottenere un impasto morbido ed un pò appiccicoso e aggiungere l'olio. Lasciare lievitare, coperto, per tre ore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dividere l'impasto, aiutandosi con della farina, in 12-16 parti (dipende da quanto volete grandi le focaccine), formare delle palline e stendere ognuna con le mani, punzecchiando la superficie. Metterle in una teglia ben distanziate tra loro e lasciare lievitare ancora per 30 minuti. Spennellare abbondantemente con l'olio, quindi sbriciolare sopra la feta e porre al centro di ognuna, una o due olive. Cuocere in forno caldo a 220° per 15 minuti, quindi tirare fuori la focaccine e spennellarle subiro con l'olio di oliva. Buone sia tiepide sia fredde.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TPvP0jLK9uI/AAAAAAAACJs/k9XYj0JNK4Y/s400/Focaccine%2Bbarbabietola_02_resize.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547255867739141858" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TPvO1mT002I/AAAAAAAACJU/H3txkGOXd2I/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547254786248987490" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TPvO5Qhn9QI/AAAAAAAACJc/umFqDANIXaE/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547254849120761090" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Beetroot focaccine with feta and black olives&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;These focaccine (small focaccias) are really unusual for their colour, but this is not the first time that I use beets in the kitchen to give some purple colour to my recipes. In the past I've tried to make pasta (&lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2008/01/fettuccine-rosa.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/02/fagottini-con-barbabietola-e-toma.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/03/panini-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;bread&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/04/gnocchi-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;gnocchi&lt;/a&gt; with this great tuber, which gives colour but also flavour to every dish. As I love contrasts, I've decided to combine the sweet flavour of the focaccine, the strong and salty one of the feta and the unmistakable flavour of the black Gaeta olives &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/OrtoCori/147170668638478"&gt;OrtoCori&lt;/a&gt;.

Devo ammettere che non sono una patita di cupcakes, preferisco sicuramente i muffin, ma ho deciso comunque di partecipare all'iniziativa di &lt;a href="http://www.shakeandbake.it/"&gt;G&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shakeandbake.it/"&gt;aia&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://aliciotta82.blogspot.com/"&gt;Alice&lt;/a&gt; con il loro contest dedicato ai cupcakes &lt;a href="http://www.shakeandbake.it/?p=1361"&gt;Swirl me up&lt;/a&gt;. I cupcakes sono meno veloci dei muffin da preparare, l'impasto deve essere lavorato come una torta e, beh, il loro bello è senz'altro la decorazione, nella quale ci si può sbizzarrire. Il frosting più comune è la crema di burro che viene poi colorata a piacere con dei coloranti alimentari, oppure una crema più leggera realizzata con cream cheese, ovvero Philadelphia e, ovviamente, il cioccolato. Spessissimo le cupcakes in sé hanno un impasto di base e cambiano solo i frosting, con colori e aromi diversi. Io ho deciso di dare un lieve sapore di castagna ai cupcakes già nell'impasto utilizzando la crema di marroni alla vaniglia che potete trovare nei supermercati, decorarli con una semplice frosting a base di Philadelphia e cioccolato fondente e, ciliegina, dei marrons glacés a pezzi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TOVk8fQKzvI/AAAAAAAACJE/IcpEr8hJpmY/s200/contest_ok.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 120px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540945906893508338" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per le cupcakes:&lt;/i&gt; 250gr di farina - 1cucchiaino di lievito per dolci - 120gr di burro - 150gr di zucchero - 2 uova - 120gr di crema di marroni alla vaniglia - 100ml di latte&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per il frosting:&lt;/i&gt; 100gr di Philadelphia - 2 cucchiai di burro - 50gr di zucchero a velo - 100gr di cioccolato fondente al 70% - marrons glacés in pezzi, a piacere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mescolare la farina con il lievito e tenere da parte. In una larga ciotola montare a crema il burro con lo zucchero, aggiungere le uova una alla volta, quindi la crema di marroni. Versare un pò alla volta la farina alternandola al latte, continuando a montare. Con un cucchiaio versare l'impasto in uno stampo per muffin imburrato o rivestito di pirottini di carta. Cuocere in forno caldo a 180° per 20-25 minuti. Lasciar raffreddare su una gratella per dolci.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per il frosting, in una ciotola ammorbidire con una forchetta il Philadelphia con il burro morbido, aggiungere lo zucchero a velo e infine il cioccolato che avrete fatto sciogliere a bagnomaria o con il microonde (650W, un minuto circa). Con una spatola spalmare la glassa sulle cupcakes o, se preferite, utilizzare la sac à poche. Decorare a piacere con pezzetti di marrons glacés.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TOVkZHeYM9I/AAAAAAAACI0/mE1YCkjzyr0/s200/Union%2BJack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540945299215234002" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TOVkS_0seKI/AAAAAAAACIs/7zFSoFXZBMg/s200/United%2BStates.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540945194082138274" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Chestnut cupcakes with chocolate frosting and marrons glacés&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After the polenta cake, here's another recipe with a typical autumn ingredient: chestnuts. I'm not such a cupcake lover, I normally prefer muffins but I've decided to participate to &lt;a href="http://www.shakeandbake.it/"&gt;Gaia&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://aliciotta82.blogspot.com/"&gt;Alice&lt;/a&gt;'s cupcake contest &lt;a href="http://www.shakeandbake.it/?p=1361"&gt;Swirl me up&lt;/a&gt;. Cupcakes are not as quick and easy to prepare as muffins are, you need to prepare them as you prepare a cake, but the best part is decoration, where you can indulge yourself. The most common frostings are butter cream, coloured with food colourings, a cream cheese frosting and, of course, chocolate frosting. Very often cupcakes have a common to all cupcake batter and only frosting changes, in colour and different flavours. I've decided to give to my cupcakes a light chestnut flavour, using a common vanilla chestnut cream that you can find in stores, decorate them with a black chocolate/cream cheese frosting and, on top, marrons glacés in chuncks. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the cupcakes:&lt;/i&gt; 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) flour - 1tsp baking powder - 120gr (0.5cup - 4oz) butter - 150gr (0.7 - 5.6oz) sugar - 2 eggs - 120gr (0.5cup - 4oz) vanilla chestnut cream - 100ml (3.5oz) milk&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the frosting:&lt;/i&gt; 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) cream cheese - 2tbs butter - 50gr dusting sugar - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) black chocolate, 70% - marrons glacés in chunks, at will&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In a bowl mix together flour and baking powder. In another bowl cream butter with sugar, add eggs one at a time, then chestnut cream and continue whisking for few minutes. Pour in flour little by little, alternating with milk. Now spoon the batter into the muffin/cupcake liners and bake at 180°C (350F) for 20-25 minutes. Cool down completely on a wire rack.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;For the frosting, in a bowl mix together butter and cream cheese, then add dusting sugar, melted chocolate (melt in a microwave at 650w for about 1 minute) and mix well. With the help of a spatula spread frosting onto the cupcakes, then use marrons glacés chunks to decorate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&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/31933112-7351822342537519036?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/7351822342537519036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/11/cupcake-di-castagne-con-frosting-al.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7351822342537519036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7351822342537519036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/11/cupcake-di-castagne-con-frosting-al.html' title='Cupcakes di castagne con frosting al cioccolato e marrons glacés'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TOVlwKpEclI/AAAAAAAACJM/4JbhhPIvBto/s72-c/Cupcake%2Bcastagne.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-1312318042688868859</id><published>2010-11-06T09:52:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-11-06T09:54:38.470+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torte - Cakes'/><title type='text'>Torta di polenta</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TNUXnKad0oI/AAAAAAAACIk/IUxdQU1oNTA/s1600/Torta+di+polenta_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TNUXnKad0oI/AAAAAAAACIk/IUxdQU1oNTA/s400/Torta+di+polenta_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536357278499590786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Finalmente è arrivato l'autunno, la mia stagione preferita e, con i primi freddi, s'iniziano a cucinare cibi più calorici e sostanziosi: brasati, stinchi di maiale, spezzatini vari, che a me piace accompagnare con la polenta. Cosa fare quando ve ne avanza tanta? Se volete rimanere sul salato, potete preparare delle &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/01/crocchette-di-polenta-al-taleggio.html"&gt;crocchette&lt;/a&gt; o dei &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/12/zucca-zola.html"&gt;medaglioni con la zucca e il gorgonzola&lt;/a&gt;. Se invece volete provare a fare una torta un pò diversa dal solito, allora provate questa. Non vi spaventate per la quantità di burro, con la polenta ci vuole. Quando durante la cottura lo vedrete affiorare in superficie e sfrigolare non vi preoccupate, è normale, e formerà una crosticina tutta intorno al bordo e sulla superficie, mentre l'interno rimarrà morbido.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;400gr di polenta - 140gr di zucchero - 140gr di burro - 3 uova - 4 cucchiai di farina - 80gr di uvetta - 30gr di pinoli - scorza grattugiata di un limone&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Far rinvenire l'uvetta in acqua calda per 15 minuti. Scolarla ed asciugarla bene. Montare il burro ammorbidito con lo zucchero, aggiungere le uova una alla volta, quindi la polenta che avrete prima schiacciato con una forchetta. Mescolare bene, senza preoccuparsi troppo se rimane qualche grumo di polenta. Versare a pioggia la farina e poi l'uvetta, i pinoli e la scorza di limone. Imburrare uno stampo da 22cm di diametro, versarvi l'impasto e livellarlo con un cucchiaio. Infornare a 190° per 40-45 minuti. Lasciar raffreddare bene prima di sformare e servire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TNUXaHGCkYI/AAAAAAAACIc/GCc8hJMGH9k/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536357054270312834" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TNUXWY4-YEI/AAAAAAAACIU/V1Bzd91dUJo/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536356990327873602" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Polenta cake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Autumn, my favourite season, has finally arrived and with cold weather we can start cooking nutricious and high-calorie food: braised meat, pig's knuckles, stews that I like to serve with polenta (mush). What can you do with polenta leftovers? If you like a savoury dish, you can try &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/01/crocchette-di-polenta-al-taleggio.html"&gt;croquettes&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/12/zucca-zola.html"&gt;medaglioni with pumpkin and gorgonzola&lt;/a&gt;. If you prefer a cake, maybe a particular one, you have to try this cake. Don't be afraid by the quantity of butter, you need it with polenta. While cooking, you'll see butter coming up on the surface and fry, that's its regular behaviour. ;-) Your cake shell will be golden brown and crusty, but its heart will remain soft.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;400gr (1.75cup - 14oz) polenta - 140gr (0.62cup - 5oz) sugar - 140gr (0.62cup - 5oz) butter - 3 eggs - 4tbs flour - 80gr (0.35cup - 2.8oz) raisins - 30gr (1oz) pine nuts - zest of one lemon&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Soak raisins in warm water, then drain them and dry them with a cloth. In a bowl cream softened butter with sugar,  add eggs one at a time, then polenta already smashed with a fork. Stir and don't worry if you see some polenta lumps. Pour in flour, raisins, pine nuts and lemon zest. Place the mixture in a greased round tin of 22cm (9inch) of diameter, spreading it out as evenly as possible. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 40-45 minutes on the middle shelf. Cool down well befor serving.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-1312318042688868859?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/1312318042688868859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/11/torta-di-polenta.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/1312318042688868859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/1312318042688868859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/11/torta-di-polenta.html' title='Torta di polenta'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TNUXnKad0oI/AAAAAAAACIk/IUxdQU1oNTA/s72-c/Torta+di+polenta_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-769222093121528174</id><published>2010-10-23T12:01:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-23T12:08:12.612+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pane - Bread'/><title type='text'>Burger buns</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TMKyC0MVBnI/AAAAAAAACHc/4wa7aB1tpcg/s400/Burger+buns_02_resize.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531179053804226162" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Esatto, avete letto bene: burger buns, e cioè i panini per gli hamburger. Io, gli hamburger, li preparo spesso in casa, con carne macinata fresca e con la pressa (come &lt;a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:5tFdhRPXnV003M:http://it.geniuscook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/mashin.jpg&amp;amp;t=1"&gt;questa&lt;/a&gt;), poi li cuocio sulla piastra (o sul barbecue l'estate) e farcisco i panini con carne, lattuga, cipolla fette, pomodoro, formaggio, ketchup, maionese e senape. Il pane normalmente lo compro, per comodità, questa volta però ho voluto provare una ricetta di Laurel Evans, autrice di "&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/BUON-APPETITO-AMERICA/213797123384"&gt;Buon appetito America!&lt;/a&gt;". Il libro è una raccolta di autentiche ricette americane, scritte attraverso un viaggio gastronomico che percorre tutta l'America, da nord a sud, da est ad ovest, riscoprendo le tradizioni culinarie d'oltreoceano. Contrariamente a quello che si può pensare, l'America non ha solo hamburger, patatine fritte e hot dog, ma una cucina ricca e molto varia che affonda le sue radici in Europa e in Africa, ed è il frutto dei contributi provenienti da ogni parte del mondo. Nel libro si parla di brunch, ricette delle feste - per il ringraziamento, natale e il 4 di luglio - ma anche di zuppe, panini, insalate e, ovviamente, torte e biscotti! Il tutto è arricchito da foto da acquolina in bocca ad opera di Emilio Scoti. Questa ricetta la trovate nel libro ma anche nel blog di Laurel, &lt;a href="http://www.unamericanaincucina.com/it/"&gt;Un'Americana in cucina&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 8 panini&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt;  180ml di acqua calda - 30g di burro, ammorbidito - 1 uovo - 450g di farina - 50g di zucchero - 1 cucchiaino di sale - 10gr di lievito fresco*1 uovo sbattuto con un cucchiaino d’acqua - semi di sesamo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;*l&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;a ricetta originale prevede 1 bustina di lievito secco&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mescolare tutti gli ingredienti assieme e lavorare l'impasto per circa 10 minuti fino a quando diventa soffice e liscio (io utilizzo una macchina del pane). Trasferirlo in una ciotola leggermente unta di olio, coprire e far lievitare per un paio d'ore, o finché avrà raddoppiato il volume. Trascorso questo tempo, sgonfiare leggermente l’impasto, formare un panetto e tagliarlo in 8 parti. Formare con ciascuno un disco dello spessore di circa 2,5 cm e di 8cm di diametro di 8 cm. Mettete i panini su una teglia leggermente unta di olio, coprite e lasciateli lievitare per un’altra ora, finché sono bene gonfi. Accendere il forno a 190°C,  sp&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;enellare i panini con l’uovo sbattuto con un cucchiaino d’acqua, poi spolverare con i semi di sesamo. Infornare e cuocere finché avranno raggiunto una bella doratura, per circa 15 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TMKyI5v7LtI/AAAAAAAACHk/bqUHAuSzOsI/s400/Burger+buns_01_resize.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531179158374919890" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TMKxsLJh9XI/AAAAAAAACHU/yPkl9qa7cXY/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531178664829515122" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TMKxj-fs4kI/AAAAAAAACHM/Pr4B5JRxz6Y/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531178523993891394" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Burger buns&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;That's right, you've read well, burger buns. I often prepare hamburgers at home, with fresh ground meat with a hamburger press (like &lt;a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:5tFdhRPXnV003M:http://it.geniuscook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/mashin.jpg&amp;amp;t=1"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;) and cook them on a grill pan (or with barbecue during the summer) and stuff buns with meat, lettuce, sliced onion, tomato, cheese, ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard. I normally buy buns, it's easier, but this time I wanted to try a recipe from Laurel Evans, author of "&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/BUON-APPETITO-AMERICA/213797123384"&gt;Buon appetito America!&lt;/a&gt;". The book gathers together authentic American recipes, written through a gastronomic journey which covers all America, from north to south, from east to west, discovering overseas cooking traditions. Despite anyone could imagine, America doesn't have only hamburgers, fries and hot dogs, but a rich and varied cooking with deep roots in Europe and Africa, a cooking which is the result of the contribution from all over the world. In the book you find brunch, feast recipes - Thanksgiving, Christmas and the 4 of July - but also soups, sandwiches, salads and, obviously, cakes and cookies! All this enriched by mouth-watering pictures by Emilio Scoti. You can find this recipe in the book but also in Laurel's blog, &lt;a href="http://www.unamericanaincucina.com/"&gt;Un'Americana in cucina&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Makes 8 buns&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients: &lt;/b&gt;180ml (3/4c) warm water -  30g (2 tbsp) butter, softened at room temperature - 1 large egg - 450g (3.5c) all purpose flour - 50g (1/4c) sugar - 1 tsp salt - 10gr (2,2tsp) brewers yeast* - 1 egg lightly beaten with 1tbsp water - sesame seeds&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;*the original recipes wants 1 package instant yeast &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mix together all dough ingredients either by hand, mixer, or bread machine for about 10 minutes to make a soft, smooth dough. Place the dough in a clean and lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a towel and let rise for about 1 to 2 hours, until doubled in size. Gently deflate the dough, carefully roll into a log and cut into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a disk, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick and about 3 in (8 cm) across. Place the buns on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about an hour, until very puffy. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Beat together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush buns lightly with egg wash, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake the buns in preheated oven until golden, about 12 to 15 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foodista.com/recipe/FL7STLMP/burger-buns" style="display: block; width: 200px; border: 5px solid #C44F50; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; background-color: #C36C6D; text-align: left; overflow: hidden; color: white; font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; padding: 4px; text-indent: 0;" title="Burger Buns on Foodista"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cf.foodista.com/static/images/widget_logo.png" alt="Burger Buns on Foodista" style="float: right; border: none; width: 70px; height: 25px; padding: 0; margin: 0;" /&gt;Burger Buns&lt;img src="http://dyn.foodista.com/content/embed/z1.png?foodista_widget_FL7STLMP_AAAAAAAA" style="display: none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-769222093121528174?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/769222093121528174/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/10/burger-buns.html#comment-form' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/769222093121528174'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/769222093121528174'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/10/burger-buns.html' title='Burger buns'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TMKyC0MVBnI/AAAAAAAACHc/4wa7aB1tpcg/s72-c/Burger+buns_02_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-6253624089632922643</id><published>2010-09-21T18:55:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-21T19:05:42.795+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Secondi - Main Courses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Contorni - Side Dishes'/><title type='text'>Insalata di lenticchie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TJjh5BBe6vI/AAAAAAAACHE/6aC9wDQgqHo/s1600/Insalata+di+lenticchie_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TJjh5BBe6vI/AAAAAAAACHE/6aC9wDQgqHo/s400/Insalata+di+lenticchie_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519409712985991922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A parte qualche giorno di pioggia che ha abbassato notevolmente le temperature, siamo sempre a settembre e fa ancora caldo.

Stoicamente perché le pesche sono parecchio acquose e ci vuole un pò di più di tempo a prepararla rispetto ad altre marmellate. Ne è valsa però la pena, ed infatti l'ho rifatta raddoppiando le dosi qui indicate per avere qualche vasetto in più per l'inverno. Se volete provarla affrettatevi, avete ancora poco tempo per trovare le pesche!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 1kg di pesche (peso senza buccia e noccioli) - 400gr di zucchero - 6/7gr di cannella in stecche.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sbucciare le pesche e privarle del nocciolo, tagliarle a tocchetti, metterle in una pentola assieme allo zucchero e alla cannella. Mescolare ed iniziare a cuocere a fuoco vivace. Abbassare la fiamma dopo circa 15 minuti e proseguire la cottura per circa un'ora, o fino a quando la confettura si sarà addensata bene, avendo cura di mescolare di tanto in tanto. Per capire se la confettura è pronta, versarne un cucchiaino su di un piatto ben freddo, tenuto in frigorifero. Attendere qualche secondo e provare a toccarla con un dito: se si è formata una sorta di pellicola sulla superficie, è pronta, altrimenti rimettere sul fuoco, continuare a cuocere e ripetere la prova. Trasferire subito la confettura nei vasetti (circa tre di media grandezza), chiuderli bene e capovolgerli per qualche minuto. Lasciar raffreddare completamente prima di etichettare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TIekMuke8DI/AAAAAAAACGc/IBSjOEprak0/s400/Confettura+Pesche%2301_resize.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 297px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514556807304900658" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TIeiNTBXJWI/AAAAAAAACGM/RHJt4-8-M-s/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514554618066445666" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TIeiJ05y7KI/AAAAAAAACGE/qJwMUyMxYug/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514554558442040482" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Peach and cinnamon preserve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I made this preserve at the beginning of august, bravely resisting to the hot weather, positioned just right in front of my cooker. I used the term bravely because peaches contain a lot of water, so it takes more time to make a preserve  with this fruit. It really was worthwhile, infact I prepared some more doubling the ingredients, in order to have more jars for the winter. If you're interested to give it a try, hurry up, peach season is almost gone!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 1kg peaches (4.3cup - 35oz - 2lb) cored and peeled - 400gr (1.75cup - 14oz) sugar - 6gr (0.2oz - 1.3tsp) cinnamon sticks&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Peel and core the peaches (weigh them once you've done this) and place them in a casserole with sugar and cinnamon. Place the pan over a medium heat for about 15 minutes, then lower it and keep cooking for about 1 hour, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking. Now use the cold plates to test for a set. Remove the pan from the heat and place a teaspoonful of the preserve on one of the plates. Allow it to cool for a few seconds, then push it with your finger: if a skin has formed on the jam, then it has set. If it hasn't set, boil it again for another 5 minutes and do another test. When you have a set, pour it, still hot, into the jars (about three, medium size) seal them and turn upside down for few minutes.

Sono dovuta andare direttamente a Roma per prepararli a casa della mia mamma! ;-) Ogni famiglia ha la propria ricetta con le proprie varianti, io vi propongo la mia con l'aggiunta di olive verdi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Per 3-4 persone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; 3 peperoni rossi medio/grandi o 4 piccoli - 120gr di pane bianco raffermo - 1 bicchiere di latte (ca. 300ml) - 400gr di tonno sott'olio sgocciolato - 1 cucchiaio e ½ di capperi - 4 alici sott'olio - 1 spicchio d'aglio - 1 cucchiaio di parmigiano grattugiato - 1 cucchiaio di pecorino ro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;mano grattugiato - 20 olive verdi snocciolate* - pepe nero macinato - olio extravergine di oliva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;*opzionali&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Lavare ed asciugare i peperoni, tagliare la calotta superiore ed eliminare i filamenti ed i semini all'interno, avendo cura di non bucarli o romperli. Tenere da parte. Preparare il ripieno, iniziando a mettere in ammollo il pane raffermo (o fresco, se non l'avete raffermo!) fatto a pezzetti nel latte. Non appena si  sarà ammorbidito, scolarlo e strizzarlo bene per eliminare il latte in eccesso. In un robot da cucina mettere il tonno, le alici, i capperi, l'aglio spremuto, il pane, il parmigiano, il pecorino e il pepe. Azionare alla massima velocità per qualche secondo finché tutti gli ingredienti saranno ben amalgamati tra loro e finemente tritati. Trasferire il ripieno in un piatto, quindi aggiungere le olive tagliate a fettine e mescolare.  Riempire i peperoni con il composto, adagiarli in una teglia antiaderente (in "piedi" o "sdraiati", dipende dalla forma del peperone) e sistemare la calotta accanto ad ognuno.  Condire con l'olio (uno o due cucchiai) ed infornare a 200° per 50-60 minuti. Tirare fuori e sistemare su ognuno la calottina. Servire tiepidi o a temperatura ambiente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TH4b4orlK5I/AAAAAAAACFs/italCEwLAHk/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511873653754899346" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TH4byXhb8cI/AAAAAAAACFk/N3ksHkEP5as/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511873546069733826" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;My stuffed peppers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;These peppers are commonly cooked in Rome, they are made with tuna stuffing (my favourites) and also with meat stuffing. I wanted to cook them since they were in season, in June, but, one time it was so hot that it was almost impossible to use the oven, one time I didn't have enough time to prepare them, I kept postponing. I had to go to Rome to my mother's house to prepare them! ;-) Every family has its original recipe, this is my version with green olives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Serves 3-4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; 3 bell peppers, big, or 4 small size - 120gr (0.5cup - 4.2oz) white bread - 300ml (1.2cup - 10oz) milk - 400gr (1.75cup - 14oz) tins tuna fish in oil, well drained - 1½ tbs capers - 4 anchovy fillets in oil, well drained - 1 garlic clove - 1tbs grated parmesan - 1tbs grated pecorino romano - 20 green olives, without stones* - black pepper - extra virgin olive oil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;*optional&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Begin by washing peppers,  cutting their caps  and removing seeds. Set aside. Now prepare the filling. First, place bread in a bowl with milk. After 10 minutes or so, drain it and squeeze it. In a food processor place tuna, anchovies, capers, garlic, bread, parmesan, pecorino and black pepper. Switch on and give it a pulse action several times until youl'll obtain a fine, smooth mixture. Transfer it in a bowl and add sliced olives. Now spoon mixture into peppers, then lay them in a lightly oiled roasting tray and place each cap near each pepper. Place the tray on a middle shelf into the oven at 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6) and cook from 50 minute to 1 hour. Serve warm or even at room temperature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-;font-family:Arial;font-size:10.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-;font-family:Arial;font-size:10.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-4962973179376909098?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/4962973179376909098/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/09/i-miei-peperoni-ripieni.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4962973179376909098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4962973179376909098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/09/i-miei-peperoni-ripieni.html' title='I miei peperoni ripieni'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TH4oObq7JvI/AAAAAAAACF0/PYlUviHjoYY/s72-c/Peperoni+ripieni_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-1441510336423372350</id><published>2010-08-19T19:56:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-19T20:06:48.985+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Crostate - Tarts'/><title type='text'>Crostata di pere e susine gialle</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TGcXIBc8kwI/AAAAAAAACFc/WQ1ODbAxkf4/s1600/Crostata+pere%2Bsusine.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 329px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TGcXIBc8kwI/AAAAAAAACFc/WQ1ODbAxkf4/s400/Crostata+pere%2Bsusine.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505394496079958786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:arial;font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Come vi avevo raccontato qualche post fa, d'estate nella mia cucina regna la frutta, in tutti modi: crostate, torte, marmellate, muffin, cheesecake e via dicendo. Questa crostata è nata dal bisogno di smaltire un pò di frutta molto matura e dalla poca voglia di preparare la pasta frolla o di fare altri muffin. Ho così comprato della comune pasta sfoglia industriale, che certo, non sarà mai come quella fatta in casa, ma risolve il problema di quando si ha poca voglia o poco tempo di cucinare e velocizza incredibilmente i tempi di preparazione. Dato che mi piace sentire il sapore della frutta, ho utilizzato pochissimo zucchero, quindi nel caso amiate dei sapori un poco più dolci, aumentate le dosi di zucchero.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/b&gt;: 230gr pasta sfoglia - 40gr di digestive o biscotti secchi - 3 cucchiai zucchero di canna - 30gr di pinoli - 300gr di pere - 300gr di susine gialle - 3 bacche di cardamomo verde&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sbucciare le pere, privarle del torsolo e tagliarle a dadini. Sbucciare le susine gialle, togliere il nocciolo e tagliarle a pezzi. Aprire le bacche di cardamomo, estrarne i semini e pestarli nel mortaio. Sistemare la frutta in una ciotola, versarvi lo zucchero di canna, i pinoli, il cardamomo e mescolare bene. Stendere con un mattarello la pasta foglia e sistemarla in uno stampo per crostate da 24cm di diametro, imburrato. Punzecchiare la pasta con una forchetta, distribuirvi i biscotti sbriciolati e il composto di frutta. Livellare bene quindi infornare a 180° per 40 minuti. Far raffreddare prima si servire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TGcW9ecK4sI/AAAAAAAACFU/vWklVq0yJaI/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505394314882769602" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TGcWoHP8dFI/AAAAAAAACFM/2A0ICRBRV_8/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505393947880223826" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Pear and yellow plum tart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As already wrotefew post ago, in my kitchen during summertime fruit reigns in every way: tarts, cakes, jams, muffins, cheesecakes and more. This tart comes from the urge of using some really ripe fruit and, also, I didn't feel like making shortcrust pastry or more muffins. So, I decided to buy some common puff pastry which won't ever be like the home-made one but it's ready to use when you don't want or don't have time to cook. I like the original taste of fruit so I used very little sugar; if you prefer sweet flavour, add some more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;: 230gr (8oz) puff pastry - 40gr (1½oz) digestive - 3tbs brown sugar - 30gr (1oz) pine nuts - 300gr (1.3cup -  10.5oz) pears - 300gr (1.3cup -  10.5oz) yellow plums - 3 green cardamom pods&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Peel and core pears and plums, and dice them. Open cardamom pods, take out the seeds and crush them in a mortar. Place fruit in a bowl, add sugar, pine nuts, cardamom and mix well. Roll out puff pastry and transfer it to a greased tin of 23-24cm diameter (9inch). Press it lightly and firmly all over the base and sides of the tin and prick it with a fork. Sparkle with crushed cookies, then pour in fruit. Bake at 180° C (350°F - gas mark 4) for 40 minutes.

Imburrare uno stampo quadrato di 24cm e versarvi l'impasto.

Cos'hanno questi di diverso dagli altri vi chiederete? Ma come, sono i &lt;i&gt;miei&lt;/i&gt; muffin ai mirtilli! ;-) Ricchi di frutta e yogurt, hanno un solo ingrediente in più rispetto alla ricetta classica,  le noci pecan. Potete ometterle o sostituirle con noci normali o anche mandorle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 12 muffin&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 100gr di farina integrale - 200gr di farina - 130gr di zucchero - 2 uova -  1 cucchiaino e ½ di lievito in polvere per dolci - 130gr di burro ammorbidito - 120gr di mirtilli freschi - 150gr di yogurt - 60gr di noci pecan&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mescolare per primi gli ingredienti secchi: le due farine, lo zucchero, il lievito. Ora mescolare velocemente gli ingredienti liquidi in una ciotola separata: il burro ammorbidito, le uova e lo yogurt. Mescolarli assieme e aggiungere i mirtilli lavati ed asciugati e le noci pecan tritate grossolanamente con le mani. Versare per due terzi il composto in uno stampo per muffin imburrato o rivestito dei pirottini di carta, infornare a 180° per 25 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TFKfmzapgXI/AAAAAAAACEE/NchVOzLVca8/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499633583958622578" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TFKfKQolOXI/AAAAAAAACD8/di-hNuzeZQc/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499633093585484146" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Yoghurt and blueberry muffin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's a classic, together with chocolate muffins, blueberry muffins are the most popular and loved ones. Why are these muffins different from the others? Well, because this is &lt;i&gt;my&lt;/i&gt; blueberry muffin recipe! ;-) Rich in fruit and yoghurt, they have one additional ingredient you normally don't find in the classic recipe: pecan nuts. You can use them or not, or you can substitute them with plain nuts or even almonds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Makes 12&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) wholewheat flour - 200gr (0.87cup - 7oz) flour - 130gr (0.6cup - 4.8oz) sugar - 2 eggs - 1½tsp baking soda - 130gr (0.6cup - 4.8oz) butter, softened - 120gr (0.5cup - 4oz) fresh blueberries - 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) yoghurt - 60gr (0.27cup - 2.11oz) pecan nuts&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;First, mix together in a bowl dried ingredients: both flours, sugar and baking powder. Crush pecan nuts with your hands and set aside. In another bowl quickly mix liquid ingredients: softened butter, eggs and yogurt. Pour in dried ingredients, then add blueberries and pecan nuts. If you are using muffin cases, arrange them in the tins and spoon the mixture into them; alternatively, spoon the mixture straight into the greased tins. Bake at 180°C (350F - gas mark 4) for 25 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foodista.com/food/376ZKRDK/muffin" style="display: block; width: 200px; border: 5px solid #fff; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; background-color: #BDBDBD; text-align: left; overflow: hidden; color: white; font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; padding: 4px; text-indent: 0;" title="Muffin on Foodista"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cf.foodista.com/static/images/widget_logo.png" alt="Muffin on Foodista" style="float: right; border: none; width: 70px; height: 25px; padding: 0; margin: 0;" /&gt;Muffin&lt;img src="http://dyn.foodista.com/content/embed/z1.png?foodista_widget_376ZKRDK_AAAAAAAA" style="display: none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3682013359620317215?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3682013359620317215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/07/muffin-yogurt-e-mirtilli.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3682013359620317215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3682013359620317215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/07/muffin-yogurt-e-mirtilli.html' title='Muffin yogurt e mirtilli'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TFKf4IJpIOI/AAAAAAAACEM/zhlYRk_V2ds/s72-c/Muffin+mirtilli_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-2711851989544157122</id><published>2010-07-23T11:29:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-23T11:45:51.464+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Yogurt e frutta</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TElhNGVjbDI/AAAAAAAACD0/apq7ljiydl4/s1600/Yogurt%2Bfrutta_01_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 382px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TElhNGVjbDI/AAAAAAAACD0/apq7ljiydl4/s400/Yogurt%2Bfrutta_01_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497031697849609266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se volete preparare un dolce in poco tempo e senza usare il forno, questo è quello che fa per voi. Fresco e leggero si presta bene come dessert o anche come spuntino sostanzioso. La ricetta originale è della &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/"&gt;Cucina Italiana&lt;/a&gt;, io ho apportato le mie modifiche. E' comunque una ricetta facilmente modulabile: potete utilizzare la frutta che preferite, sostituire le noci pecan con noci, mandorle o nocciole tostate e persino pistacchi. Se non vi piace lo sciroppo d'acero, provate con il miele o con lo zucchero di canna liquido.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 4 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti: &lt;/b&gt;340gr di yogurt greco - 200ml di panna fresca - 10 amaretti - 2 cucchiai di sciroppo d'acero + un pò per la decorazione - 2 pesche mature - 3 o 4 noci pecan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In una ciotola mescolare lo yogurt con lo sciroppo d'acero. Montare la panna fresca e mescolarla delicatamente allo yogurt. Sbriciolare gli amaretti e distribuirli sul fondo di 4 ciotoline o coppette, quindi versarvi il composto. Sbucciare le pesche, togliere il nocciolo e tagliarle a tocchetti.  Con le mani sbriciolare le noci pecan. Decorare la crema con le pesche, le noci pecan e lo sciroppo d'acero a piacere. Conservare in frigo per almeno un'ora prima di servire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TElhBbwrdyI/AAAAAAAACDs/g6abZa1qmbI/s400/Yogurt%2Bfrutta_02_resize.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497031497442096930" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TElgU04mbfI/AAAAAAAACDU/U9KqmQwvgyc/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497030731092094450" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TElgQJclaII/AAAAAAAACDM/TmxljlBWwfc/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497030650712385666" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Yoghurt and fruit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;If you want to prepare a dessert in no time and without using the oven, this is just for you. Fresh and light, it's perfect for a dessert or even for a rich snack. The original recipe comes from the &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/"&gt;Cucina Italiana&lt;/a&gt;, which I modified a little. If you like, you can change it in many ways: use the fruit that you prefer,  substitute pecan nuts with plain nuts, almonds or toasted hazelnuts or even pistachios. If you don't like maple syrup, try honey or even liquid brown sugar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Serves 4&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 340gr (12oz) Greek yoghurt - 200ml (0.8cup - 7oz) whipped cream - 10 amaretti - 2tbs maple syrup + some more for serving - 2 ripe peaches - 3 or 4 pecan nuts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In a bowl mix together yoghurt with maple syrup. Whip cream then gently add it to the yoghurt. Crumble the amaretti and place them into the base of 4 small bowls/cups, then pour in the yoghurt cream. Peel peaches, take out the stones and dice them. Crush with your hands pecan nuts. Decorate your cups with peaches, pecan nuts and maple syrup.

Ecco quindi una robina semplice semplice che io preparo sia d'estate sia d'inverno, mangiandola tiepida nel primo caso e calda nel secondo. Feta e pomodori è un'accoppiata che amo molto, i due ingredienti sono buonissimi anche in insalata con delle olive nere e nella &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/08/focaccia-con-feta-e-pomodori.html"&gt;focaccia&lt;/a&gt;. D'estate i pomodori sono di stagione e sanno di qualcosa, d'inverno è preferibile utilizzare i pelati lasciandoli scolare un attimo.  Per la cottura, ci sono due possibilità: forno tradizionale o microonde, ovviamente nel secondo caso si fa un pò prima e, soprattutto, si produce meno calore in cucina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 4 perso&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;ne&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 200gr di feta - 100gr di mozzarella - 2 pomodori (meglio se tipo perini, sono meno sugosi) - 1 spicchio d'aglio - origano &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In una terrina sbriciolare la feta, aggiungere lo spicchio d'aglio sminuzzato (o spremuto), l'origano e mescolare bene.  Pelare i pomodori, togliere i semi e tagliarli a tocchetti, affettare la mozzarella e ridurla a pezzetti. Aggiungere mozzarella e pomodori alla feta e mescolare bene. Con un cucchiaio trasferirla in quattro cocottine di coccio o altro materiale adatto al forno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In microonde: cuocere a 650W+grill per 5 minuti, mescolare, quindi proseguire solo con il grill per altri 5-7 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In forno tradizionale: cuocere in forno a 200° per 15 minuti, quindi proseguire con il grill per 10 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TEAuH7ZLDUI/AAAAAAAACCM/5igVR0FIXGE/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494442259129240898" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TEAuCccqdLI/AAAAAAAACCE/gRJH2XQHENE/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494442164923036850" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Feta and tomatoes en cocotte&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's true, during the summer cold dishes are certainly favourites but sometimes you have to eat something hot or at least warm, don't you? So, this is a really easy dish to try, I prepare it often, during summertime but also during the winter. In the first case you eat it warm, in the second one, hot. I like feta and tomatoes together, these two ingredients are also great in a salad with black olives and in a &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/08/focaccia-con-feta-e-pomodori.html"&gt;focaccia&lt;/a&gt;. During the summer you can use fresh tomatoes, they're so good, but during the winter better use canned tomatoes and leave them to drain for a while. For cooking, there are two options: using traditional oven or microwave. If you choose the microwave the dish will cook faster and the kitchen  won't warm up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Serves 4&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;: 200gr (0.87cup - 7oz) feta cheese - 100gr  (0.44cup - 3.5oz) mozzarella - 2 tomatoes - 1 garlic clove - oregano &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In a bowl crumble feta, then add oregano, garlic clove chopped or squeezed, and mix well. Skin, deseed and chop tomatoes. Slice mozzarella and cut slices into very small pieces. Mix tomatoes, mozzarella and feta together and stir well. Spoon the mixture into four small oven-proof bowls.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cooking with microwave: cook at 650W+grill for 5 minutes, then continue cooking with grill only for 5-7 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cooking with traditional oven: cook at 200°C (400°F - gas mark 6) for 15 minutes then continue cooking with grill only for 10 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&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/31933112-3827566105638083857?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3827566105638083857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/07/terrine-con-feta-e-pomodori.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3827566105638083857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3827566105638083857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/07/terrine-con-feta-e-pomodori.html' title='Terrine con feta e pomodori'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TEAun3w2-vI/AAAAAAAACCU/S-F8pvujqbE/s72-c/Terrine+feta%2Bpom_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-6099053448068836220</id><published>2010-07-10T11:15:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-10T12:09:15.459+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><title type='text'>Muffin alle ciliegie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TDg6fPlbh-I/AAAAAAAACB8/GYBMeV_NMMs/s1600/Muffin+ciliegie_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TDg6fPlbh-I/AAAAAAAACB8/GYBMeV_NMMs/s400/Muffin+ciliegie_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492204054012200930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ecco un'altra ricetta di muffin, come promesso. L'estate utilizzo molto la frutta di stagione per fare i dolci e, dato che la mia gelatiera si è rotta da tempo e non posso sbizzarrirmi con sorbetti e gelati, preparo ciò che impegna meno il mio forno in assoluto: i muffin. Questi sono morbidissimi e molto ricchi, grazie alla panna fresca, e nascondono un cuore di ciliegie. Io le ho utilizzate intere (senza nocciolo), ma se preferite potete anche tagliarle a metà o spezzettarle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 16 muffin&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 150gr di burro, fuso - 320gr di farina - 2 uova - 2 cucchiaini di lievito per dolci - 100gr di panna fresca - 150gr di zucchero -  300gr di ciliegie snocciolate&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mescolare assieme la farina, il lievito, e lo zucchero. In un'altra ciotola mescolare molto velocemente il burro fuso, le uova, il latte, e la panna fresca. Aggiungere al composto gli ingredienti secchi e, per ultimo, le ciliegie denocciolate, intere. Mescolare velocemente e riempire con l'impasto uno stampo per muffin imburrato o rivestito dei pirottini di carta. Cuocere a 180° per 20-25 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TDg6TegDfkI/AAAAAAAACB0/cBT7IufqPtA/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492203851857755714" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TDg6HK1bCCI/AAAAAAAACBs/NqELVTe6XQ4/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492203640420239394" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Cherry muffin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here's another muffin recipe, as I promised. During the summer I use a lot of fruit to prepare cakes and desserts, but since my ice-cream maker has broken long ago and I can't make anymore sorbets and ice-cream, I prepare what makes my oven work less: muffins. These are really spongy and rich, with cream and a heart of cherries.

Nel caos più totale non è facile cucinare e, soprattutto, creare, anche se la cucina è più grande, spaziosa e il mio nuovo forno è semplicemente spaziale (beh rispetto al forno di 30 anni fa qualsiasi forno lo sarebbe!). E quale miglior cavia dei muffin può esserci per provarlo? Arrendetevi, ne ho fatti di diversi e mano a mano, tempo permettendo (purtroppo anche quello scarseggia ultimamente), li pubblicherò tutti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 14 muffin&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 120gr di burro, fuso - 220gr di farina - 2 uova - 1 cucchiaino di lievito per dolci - 3 cucchiaini di estratto naturale di vaniglia - 100gr di cioccolato bianco - 100gr di zucchero - 80ml di latte - 2 pere mature di media grandezza&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mescolare assieme la farina, il lievito, e lo zucchero. In un'altra ciotola mescolare molto velocemente il burro fuso, le uova, il latte, la vaniglia e il cioccolato bianco che avrete fatto fondere a bagnomaria o al microonde (in questo caso occorrono 2 minuti a 650 W). Ora aggiungere il mix di ingredienti secchi e, per ultimo, le pere che avrete sbucciato, privato del torsolo e tagliato a dadini. Mescolare velocemente e riempire con l'impasto uno stampo per muffin imburrato o rivestito dei pirottini di carta. Cuocere a 180° per 20-25 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TC254kqsAZI/AAAAAAAACBc/l0Q7EGHHLmE/s400/Muffin+per%2Bciocc+bianco%2302.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 366px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489247902401036690" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TC25rIBPEJI/AAAAAAAACBU/3WzTVmsTVYk/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 15px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489247671372681362" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/TC25i83fWWI/AAAAAAAACBM/42vz4NASjjs/s200/United+States.1.png" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 30px; height: 16px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489247530940062050" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Pear and white chocolate muffin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's been a long time since last post, but I didn't vanish, I just moved to a new house and restructured it! In total chaos it's hard to cook and, above all, to create new recipes, even if the kitchen is a big one and my new oven is simply amazing (well any oven would be compared to a 30 years old one!). So, which is the best preparation to test it? Muffin, of course. Now, just resign yourself, I made quite a few and, little by little, I'll publish them all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Makes 14&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 120gr (0.5cup - 4oz) butter, melted - 220gr (1cup - 8oz) flour - 2 eggs - 1tsp baking powder - 3tsp natural vanilla extract - 100gr (0.4cup - 3.5oz) white chocolate - 100gr (0.4cup - 3.5oz) sugar - 80ml (2.8oz) milk - 2 ripe pears, medium size&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mix together flour, baking powder and sugar.

Ho una nota passione per le cheesecake e così ho pensato di realizzarne anche per questo menu, ma più leggere: dopo &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/04/ricetta-notte-folle-manhattan-primo.html"&gt;il primo&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/05/ricetta-notte-folle-manhattan-secondo.html"&gt;il secondo&lt;/a&gt; con contorno non potevo appesantire i commensali con una cheesecake classica. Queste quindi non si cuociono in forno ma si conservano in frigo e si addensano grazie alla colla di pesce. Le dosi che ho utilizzato questa volta però non sono per due, bensì per sei (una tira l'altra quindi si può fare il bis o mangiarne anche il giorno dopo).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ringrazio chi ha votato la mia ricetta del secondo su &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Notte-folle-a-Manhattan/319795153160"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;: i&lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/05/ricetta-notte-folle-manhattan-secondo.html"&gt;l flan di zucchine con fonduta di Castelmagno e tempura di fiori&lt;/a&gt; è arrivata prima, quindi la troverete pubblicata anche sul Elle online!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 6 cheesecake in bicchiere&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 150gr biscotti digestive - 60 gr di burro fuso - 250gr di ricotta - 250gr di panna fresca - 60gr di sciroppo d'acero - 15gr di colla di pesce&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;per la copertura: 300gr di fragole + 6 fragole - 60gr di zucchero - 2 cucchiai di succo di limone - 7gr di colla di pesce&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Serviranno anche n. 6 bicchieri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Iniziare a preparare il &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;fondo della cheesecake&lt;/span&gt;: passare al mixer i digestive e ridurli in polvere, unire il burro fuso e mescolare affinché il composto sia omogeneo. Distribuirlo in parti uguali nei bicchieri e, con l'aiuto di un cucchiaino, premerli bene sul fondo creando una base compatta. Mettere in frigo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Per la crema&lt;/span&gt;: mettere i fogli di gelatina in acqua fredda e lasciare ammorbidire. In una larga ciotola ridurre in crema la ricotta e aggiungere lo sciroppo d'acero. In una bastardella montare la panna e mescolarla delicatamente alla ricotta. In un pentolino far sciogliere la gelatina strizzata e aggiungerla alla crema, mescolando bene ma cercando di non smontare la crema. Distibuirla nei bicchieri livellando la superficie e trasferire in frigo.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Per&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; la glassa&lt;/span&gt;: in un pentolino mettere le fragole tagliate a pezzi, il succo di limone e lo zucchero. Far cuocere a fuoco medio per ca. 10-15 minuti mescolando spesso. Frullare e lasciar raffreddare. Ammollare nell'acqua fredda i fogli di gelatina, strizzarli e farli sciogliere lentamente in un pentolino. Mescolare alle fragole frullate e distribuire sulla crema. Riporre in frigorifero per 30 minuti, poi tirare di nuovo fuori, decorare con le fragole fresche e lasciare ancora in frigorifero per 2-3 ore prima di servire. Per ottenere invece l'effetto "marmorizzato" sulla superficie delle cheesecakes, fare così: non far raffreddare la glassa di fragole, mescolarvi subito la gelatina sciolta e versarla così calda sulla crema. Mettere in frigo. Dopo un pò affioreranno in superficie delle "chiazze" di crema: con la punta di un cucchiaino disegnare delicatamente dei cerchi sulla superficie. Riporre in frigo, attendere mezz'ora e decorare con le fragole fresche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S-U9TWmtFaI/AAAAAAAACA0/XySQ8njMv3U/s1600/Cheesecake+in+bicchiere%2302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S-U9TWmtFaI/AAAAAAAACA0/XySQ8njMv3U/s400/Cheesecake+in+bicchiere%2302.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468844725206062498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S-U78RgO2TI/AAAAAAAACAk/9ho7f5qjNNs/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 15px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S-U78RgO2TI/AAAAAAAACAk/9ho7f5qjNNs/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468843229188118834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S-U71o88TOI/AAAAAAAACAc/wSZfrQSRpG0/s1600/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 16px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S-U71o88TOI/AAAAAAAACAc/wSZfrQSRpG0/s200/United+States.1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468843115223469282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Recipe Date Night - dessert: Cheesecake in a glass&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the last appointment with the recipes of &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Notte-folle-a-Manhattan/319795153160"&gt;Date Night&lt;/a&gt;, the last course and normally my favourite one: dessert. I have a huge passion for cheesecakes so I tought to make one for this menu too, but lighter: after &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/04/ricetta-notte-folle-manhattan-primo.html"&gt;starter&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/05/ricetta-notte-folle-manhattan-secondo.html"&gt;main course&lt;/a&gt; I couldn't weigh down my fellow diners with a classic cheesecake. So, you don't need to bake these ones, you will only refrigerate with the help of gelatine. This time I didn't  prepare them just for two, but for six (so you can have some more even the day after).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Thanks to the people that voted my main course recipe on &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Notte-folle-a-Manhattan/319795153160"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;: the z&lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/05/ricetta-notte-folle-manhattan-secondo.html"&gt;ucchini/courgette flan with Castelmagno fondue and tempura flowers&lt;/a&gt; won the first place, so you'll see it published on Elle online!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Makes 6 cheesecake in a glass&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients: &lt;/b&gt;150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) digestive biscuits - 60gr (0.27cup - 2.11oz) melted butter - 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) ricotta - 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) whipped cream - 60gr (0.27cup - 2.11oz) maple syrup - 15gr (0.5oz) leaf gelatine&lt;br /&gt;for the topping: 300gr (1.3cup - 10.5oz) strawberries + 6 strawberries - 60gr (0.27cup - 2.11oz) sugar - 2tbs lemon juice - 7gr (0.2oz) leaf gelatine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You will also need 6 glasses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;First prepare &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;cheesecake base&lt;/span&gt;: crush the biscuits in a food processor, then mix them with the melted butter. Now press the mixture into the base of 6 glasses and pop into the fridge to firm up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;For the cream&lt;/span&gt;: place gelatine leaves into cold water and leave to soften. In a large bowl cream ricotta with maple syrup. In another bowl whip cream then gently add it to the ricotta. In a small pan melt gelatine then pour into the cream, stirring well but very delicately. Place the mixture into the glasses levelling the surface and transfer into the fridge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;For the topping&lt;/span&gt;: in a pan place strawberries, cut into pieces, lemon juice and sugar. Cook at medium heat for 10-15 minutes stirring often to prevent from sticking. Purée strawberries and cool down. Now place gelatine leaves into cold water, when they're softened melt in a pan on a low heat. Add it to the strawberries purée mixing well, then pour it over the cream. Place into the fridge for half an hour, then decorate with fresh strawberries. Refrigerate again for 3 hours before serving. If you'd like a "marble" effect on your cheesecakes, do as it follows: do not cool down strawberries mixture but mix it right away with gelatine and, when still hot, pour it over the cream. Refrigerate and, after a while, you'll see that some cream "spots" will come out: with the tip of a teaspoon, gently draw circles over the surface. Place again into the fridge for 30 minutes then decorate with fresh strawberries and refigerate for 3 hours before serving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S-U8teV4mII/AAAAAAAACAs/C4-63VZulDs/s1600/cenafoster.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 154px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S-U8teV4mII/AAAAAAAACAs/C4-63VZulDs/s320/cenafoster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468844074447968386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Cheesecake on Foodista" href="http://www.foodista.com/recipe/JKLXN5JF/cheesecake" style="display: block; padding: 5px; border: 5px solid #fff; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; background-color: #fff; width: 100px; text-align: center; text-indent: 0;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Cheesecake on Foodista" src="http://cf.foodista.com/static/images/widget_logo_md.png" style="border: none; width: 84px; height: 18px; padding: 0; margin: 0;" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://dyn.foodista.com/content/embed/z1.png?foodista_widget_JKLXN5JF_AAAAAAAA" style="display: none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-400420921501353111?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/400420921501353111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/05/ricetta-notte-folle-manhattan-dolce.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/400420921501353111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/400420921501353111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/05/ricetta-notte-folle-manhattan-dolce.html' title='Ricetta Notte folle a Manhattan - dolce, ovvero: Cheesecake in bicchiere'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S-U9YsSPKpI/AAAAAAAACA8/bCowZNZKV9U/s72-c/Cheesecake+in+bicchiere%2301.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-1525469245003651048</id><published>2010-05-02T15:15:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-05-02T15:32:38.046+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Contest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Piatti unici - All-in-one courses'/><title type='text'>Ricetta Notte folle a Manhattan - secondo piatto, ovvero: Flan di zucchine con fonduta di Castelmagno e tempura di fiori</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9sT9vqTtPI/AAAAAAAAB_s/eCLFua2cJ-Q/s1600/Flan%2Bfiori%2301_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9sT9vqTtPI/AAAAAAAAB_s/eCLFua2cJ-Q/s400/Flan%2Bfiori%2301_resize.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465984524231095538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Siamo al secondo appuntamento con le ricette di &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/Notte-folle-a-Manhattan/319795153160?ref=ts"&gt;Notte folle a Manhattan&lt;/a&gt;: il secondo con contorno. Devo ammettere che questa corsa per preparare un menu completo mi sta divertendo, anche se organizzarsi per cucinare qualcosa di speciale durante la settimana è certamente più complicato. Dopo un primo piatto a base di pesce ho optato per un secondo vegetariano: zucchine e fiori di zucca sono di stagione, il Castelmagno è tra i miei formaggi preferiti... et voilà, ecco la mia proposta!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S918uUOpYSI/AAAAAAAAB_0/MZf63mjvHHU/s1600/NotteFolle.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ingredienti per due persone&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;per i flan: &lt;/span&gt;2 zucchine (250gr ca.) - 50gr di panna fresca - 1 scalogno piccolo - sale - 2 cucchiai di olio extravergine di oliva - 1 rametto di maggiorana&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;per la fonduta: &lt;/span&gt;60gr di Castelmagno grattugiato - 100gr di panna fresca&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;per i fiori:&lt;/span&gt; 10 fiori di zucca - 65gr di farina - 2 cucchiaini di Maizena - 1 pizzico di sale - 100ml di acqua minerale molto fredda - 1 tuorlo d'uovo piccolo - olio di arachidi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Avrete bisogno anche di due stampini monouso (Cuki in alluminio), burro e farina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preparare prima i flan&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S91-CJOOemI/AAAAAAAACAM/JQKrI0dOFzU/s1600/Flan%2Bfiori%2302_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S91-CJOOemI/AAAAAAAACAM/JQKrI0dOFzU/s320/Flan%2Bfiori%2302_resize.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466664097998076514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: pulire le zucchine e tagliarle a rondelle. Affettare lo scalogno e, in una larga padella, scaldare l'olio e farlo soffriggere dolcemente.  Aggiungere le zucchine, il rametto di maggiorana, sale e pepe. Cuocere a fuoco medio per ca. 15-20 minuti, girando spesso. Lasciar raffreddare, quindi mescolarvi la panna e frullare il tutto. Imburrare e infarinare gli stampini quindi trasferirvi il composto. Infornare a 180° per 35-40 minuti.&lt;br /&gt;Mentre i flan saranno in forno, preparare la fonduta e la pastella per il tempura di fiori.&lt;br /&gt;Per la fonduta, mettere la panna e il Castelmagno in una bastardella e far sciogliere a bagnomaria. Lasciare sul fuoco abbassando la fiamma al minimo in modo che rimanga in caldo, andrà servita subito.&lt;br /&gt;Preparare la pastella mescolando assieme la farina con la maizena e il sale, quindi aggiungere a filo l'acqua fredda e per ultimo il tuorlo d'uovo, mescolando con una frusta. Lavare i fiori d zucca e asciugarli delicatamente con un panno. Immergerli nella pastella e friggerli in abbondante olio di arachidi, bollente. Lasciarli scolare su carta da cucina e comporre il piatto: fonduta di Castelmagno, il flan sformato al centro e i fiori di tempura ai lati.

I must admit that this rush to prepare a complete menu it's funny,  even if getting organized to cook something special during the week is  way too complicated. So, after a first course with fish, I chose a  vegetarian main course: courgettes/zucchini and its flowers are  seasonal, Castelmagno is one of my favourite cheeses... et voilà, this  is my entry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ingredients for two&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;for the flan:&lt;/span&gt; 2 courgettes/zucchini (about 1cup-8oz) - 50gr (0.2cup - 1.7oz) double cream - 1 small shallot - salt - 2tbs extravirgin olive oil - 1 small branch of marjoram&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;for the fondue:&lt;/span&gt; 60gr (2.11oz9 grated Castelmagno cheese - 100gr (0.4cup - 3.5oz) double cream&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;for the flowers:&lt;/span&gt; 10 courgettes/zucchini flowers - 65gr (0.29cup - 2.3oz) flour - 2tsp maize starch - 1 pinch of salt - 100ml (3.5oz) cold mineral water - 1 small egg yolk - peanut oil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You will also need two small disposable moulds, butter and flour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First prepare the flan: clean courgettes/zucchini and slice them.

Add courgettes/zucchini, marjoram, salt and pepper. Cook at medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring often. When done, cool down then pour in double cream and reduce it to a puree. Grease moulds with butter and dust them with flour, then pour in the zucchini mixture. Bake at 180° (350°F - gas mark 4) four 35-40 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;While flans are cooking, prepare the fondue and the tempura batter.&lt;br /&gt;For the fondue, place cream and Castelm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;agno in a heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of barely simmering water, and allow them to melt. Leave it on a low heat in order to keep it warm, you'll need to serve it  right away.&lt;br /&gt;Prepare the batter mixing together flour, maize starch and salt, then gradually add cold water and last the egg yolk,whisking continuously until the batter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; is smooth and free from lumps. Wash delicately courgettes/zucchini flowers and dry them with a cloth. Dip them into the batter and fry them into hot peanut oil. Drain them on absorbent kitchen paper and prepare the dish in this order: Castelmagno fondue, flan in the centre and tempura flowers on sides.

E cosa ci facciamo con quest'ingrediente segreto? Ma che domande, ci si prepara una ricetta! Nel capitare per caso quella mattina nel bel blog di Sandra, ho avuto la fortuna di essere tra i primi a poter partecipare all'iniziativa e a ricevere, a casa, ben due panetti di burro 1889 salato e un panetto di burro 1889 delle Fattorie Fiandino. Il prodotto è spettacolare e il modo migliore per esaltarlo, a mio avviso, è spalmarlo su una fetta di pane di segale. Ho pensato a varie ricette possibili e alla fine mi sono orientata sulla semplicità: dei biscotti poco dolci, molto, molto burrosi e con dei pezzetti di cioccolato (Ecuador, intenso e fruttato), che si sposa perfettamente con il sale contenuto in questo burro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 90gr di farina di mais fioretto - 90gr di farina 00 - 180gr di Burro 1889 salato* -  80gr di zucchero a velo - 1 tuorlo d'uovo - 30gr di cioccolato fondente 70% Ecuador&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*sostituibile eventualmente con burro salato e un pizzico di fior di sale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mettere le farine, il burro freddo, lo zucchero e il tuorlo in un robot da cucina ed azionarlo per 1 o 2 minuti (oppure impastare a mano molto velocemente). Tagliare il cioccolato a quadratini ed aggiungerlo all'impasto, quindi avvolgere nella pellicola e far riposare in frigorifero per un'ora. Trascorso questo tempo, stendere l'impasto con il mattarello su una superficie infarinata ad uno spessore di 8mm e ritagliare dei biscotti con uno stampo tondo o a fiore. Sistemare su una teglia rivestita di carta forno ben distanziati tra loro (si allargheranno un poco in cottura) ed infornare a 170° per 10 minuti. Aspettare qualche minuto prima di spostare i biscotti su una gratella e far raffreddare completamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9hs2_N4M1I/AAAAAAAAB-0/--gAbtwDy18/s1600/bannersalato-.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 73px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9hs2_N4M1I/AAAAAAAAB-0/--gAbtwDy18/s320/bannersalato-.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465237839752475474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9hsvvtv-9I/AAAAAAAAB-s/MT4My2xlnzs/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 15px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9hsvvtv-9I/AAAAAAAAB-s/MT4My2xlnzs/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465237715332103122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9hsoTsYwkI/AAAAAAAAB-k/G-_be4lFM9E/s1600/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 16px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9hsoTsYwkI/AAAAAAAAB-k/G-_be4lFM9E/s200/United+States.1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465237587551109698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Maize cookies with salted butter and chocolate chunks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I found by chance Sandra's &lt;a href="http://www.untoccodizenzero.it/index.php/zenzero/news/e-arrivato-lingrediente-segreto/"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;, where she wrote about "the secret ingredient", that is the launch on the market of a new product, the &lt;a href="http://wordpress.fattoriefiandino.it/?page_id=5"&gt;Burro 1889 salato&lt;/a&gt; (salted butter) from &lt;a href="http://www.fattoriefiandino.it/"&gt;Fattorie Fiandino&lt;/a&gt;, the only one pure Italian, made with fleur de sel from &lt;a href="http://www.slowfoodsciacca.it/pag_ge.asp?lingua=ita&amp;amp;link=130"&gt;saline Culcasi in Nubia&lt;/a&gt;, near Trapani, Sicily. And what are we going to do with this secret ingredient? We prepare a recipe, of course! Visiting Sandra's blog that morning, I had the chance to be among the first lucky people to participate, and receive just at home three sticks of butter from Fattorie Fiandino, two salted and one plain. The product is simply amazing and the best way to have it, on my humble opinion, is to spread it on a slice of rye bread. I thought about many possible recipes and at the end I decided to make something simple: low sweet cookies, very, very buttery and with chocolate chuncks (Ecuador, intense and fruity), which perfectly match with this salted butter.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;: 90gr (0.39cup - 3.17oz) maize flour - 90gr (0.39cup - 3.17oz) flour - 180gr (0.8cup - 6.4oz) Burro 1889 salato* - 80gr (0.35cup - 2.8oz) icing sugar - 1 egg yolk - 30gr (1oz) black chocolate, 70% Ecuador&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*substitute it with salted butter and a pinch of fleur de sel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Place flours, cold butter, sugar and egg yolk in a food processor, then start it for 1 or 2 minutes (you can also use your hands, but knead fast, you shouldn't warm up the dough). Chop chocolate with a knife and add it to the dough. Wrap it in a polythene bag and leave it to rest in the fridge for an hour. After this time, on a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thicknes of about 0.4inch. Use a round or flower cutter to cut out the cookies. Lift the cut out cookies onto the baking sheet, placing the cookies about 1inch (2.50cm) apart. Bake at 170°C (325F - gas mark 3) for 10 minutes. Wait few minutes before tranferring to a wire rack to cool completely.&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="color: rgb(70, 70, 70); line-height: 15px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: normal;font-family:Georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-6243334078532239234?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/6243334078532239234/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/04/biscotti-gialli-con-burro-salato-e.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6243334078532239234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6243334078532239234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/04/biscotti-gialli-con-burro-salato-e.html' title='Biscotti gialli con burro salato e cioccolato'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9htIVCObqI/AAAAAAAAB-8/jEJ0duX1Flk/s72-c/Biscotti+burro+salato.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-6378284088877029454</id><published>2010-04-25T15:30:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-25T16:25:05.311+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Primi piatti - Starters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Contest'/><title type='text'>Ricetta Notte folle a Manhattan - primo piatto, ovvero: Calamarata con punte d'asparagi e code di mazzancolle</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HY7PHABtI/AAAAAAAAB-U/PER47_uuAdY/s1600/NotteFolle.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HY7PHABtI/AAAAAAAAB-U/PER47_uuAdY/s400/NotteFolle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463386335156897490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Eccomi nuovamente pronta a realizzare una ricetta in occasione dell'uscita del film Notte folle a Manhattan, ovviamente su invito di Valeria di Alphabet City che ormai mi ha definitivamente conquistata con le sue proposte. Il film parla di Phil e Claire Foster, una coppia sposata con bambini che, per sfuggire alla monotonia della vita di tutti i giorni, decide di concedersi per una volta una serata speciale in un ristorante di Manhattan molto alla moda. Purtroppo non hanno una prenotazione, così "rubano" il tavolo di un'altra coppia che non si è presentata, i Tripplehorn. Questi ultimi però hanno alle calcagna dei poliziotti corrotti e la notte dei Foster si trasformerà in una notte piena di avventure. Cos'avrebbero potuto cucinare Claire e Phil se avessero organizzato a casa una cenetta romantica a due? E' qui che entro in scena (assieme agli altri partecipanti), perché dovrò proporre un menu completo composto da primo, secondo con contorno e dolce. Oggi iniziamo dal primo: calamari di pasta (l'aspetto può trarre in inganno ma... è pasta) con verdure di stagione, gli asparagi, e con dei crostacei molto versatili, le mazzancolle. Volete sapere se è romantico? Ma come definite un piatto romantico?! Per il mio menu ho optato per dei piatti semplici ma che allo stesso tempo non si mangiano tutti i giorni e che io personalmente preparerei per una cenetta a due. Se siete curiosi di sapere quali sono le altre portate... tornate a trovarmi e lo scoprirete! ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HYuYUSVxI/AAAAAAAAB-M/jJtC-KdhV1w/s1600/Calamarata%2301_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HYuYUSVxI/AAAAAAAAB-M/jJtC-KdhV1w/s400/Calamarata%2301_resize.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463386114290243346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 2 persone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 160gr di calamari di pasta - 10-12 code di mazzancolle - 1 mazzetto di asparagi - 2 cucchiai di olio extravergine di oliva - 4 cucchiai di marsala - 1 scalogno piccolo - sale &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Lavare gli asparagi e cuocerli al vapore, (basteranno 6-7 minuti). Tagliare via le punte. Intanto portare a bollore in una pentola dell'acqua salata, versarvi la pasta e cuocere secondo le indicazioni. In una larga padella scaldare un cucchiaio d'olio, dorare lo scalogno tagliato sottilissimo quindi aggiungere le punte di asparagi e farle cuocere a fuoco vivace per un paio di minuti mescolando spesso. Togliere dal fuoco e mettere da parte. Nella stessa padella scaldare l'olio rimasto e cuocere a fuoco vivace le mazzancolle per ca. 8 minuti, quindi aggiungere il marsala e continuare a cuocere finché questo non sia evaporato. Aggiungere subito la pasta cotta e scolata. Spegnere ed aggiungere gli asparagi tenuti da parte, mescolando. Servire subito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HYh_WFi1I/AAAAAAAAB-E/5g665TLJihk/s1600/Calamarata%2302_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HYh_WFi1I/AAAAAAAAB-E/5g665TLJihk/s400/Calamarata%2302_resize.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463385901428476754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HYFsF3bbI/AAAAAAAAB90/qrIGQXjy3nI/s1600/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 16px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HYFsF3bbI/AAAAAAAAB90/qrIGQXjy3nI/s200/United+States.1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463385415223831986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HYJ7spBGI/AAAAAAAAB98/0isIq4E29rA/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 15px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S9HYJ7spBGI/AAAAAAAAB98/0isIq4E29rA/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463385488132473954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;ate Night recipe - first course, that is: Pasta squids with asparagus and prawns&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;avendo cura di tirarli fuori un paio di minuti prima del solito (io utilizzo la cottura al vapore al microonde, in questo caso bastano&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here I am again creating a new recipe just for the new movie "Date night" out in theatres on May 6th (here in Italy), thanks to Valeria from Alphabetcity who invited me to participate. The movie tells the story of Phil and Claire Foster, a married couple with kids who are lacking zest in their relationship and decide to spice things up by going out to dinner at an expensive Manhattan restaurant. When they arrive to find out that the place is booked up for the night they pretend to be another couple who didn't show up, the Tripplehorn, so they can swipe their dinner reservation. But they are in for the mess of their lives when their meal is interrupted by a couple of crooked cops who mistake them for the other couple, so their night is going to be very adventurous. What would Claire and Phil cook if they had organized a romantic dinner for two at home? Well, here I come on stage (together with other participants), because I have to prepare an entire menu with a first course (pasta or rice), a main course with a side dish and dessert. Today we start with the first course: pasta squids (they look like squids but they're pasta with that shape!) with season vegetables, asparagus, and with a versatile shellfish, mazzancolle (variety of prawns). Would you like to know if it's romantic? But how can you define a romantic dish?!? For my menu I chose simple but not-everyday-dishes which I'd personally prepare for a dinner for two. If you'd like to know what comes next... stay tuned! ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Serves 2&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 160gr (5.6oz) pasta squids - 10-12 prawns - 1 small bunch of asparagus  - 3tbs extravirgin olive oil - 4tbs marsala wine - 1 small shallot - salt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Clean asparagus and cook them in a steamer (you'll need 6-7 minutes). Cut the stalks into pieces roughly the same size. In the meantime, in a large pot, bring to boil salted water and cook pasta following cooking instruction. In a saucepan heat 1tbs olive oil and fry chopped shallot at low heat. Add asparagus stalks and cook at medium heat for a couple of minutes stirring often.Take off heat and set aside. In the same saucepan heat the remaining oil and cook the prawns for about 8 minutes, medium/high heat, stirring and moving the pan continuously to prevent prawns from sticking. Add marsala and let this bubble away for 1-2 minutes. Pour in cooked and drained pasta, stir, take off heat, then add asparagus, mixing gently.

Grazie poi ai consigli di uno chef "conosciuto" su Facebook, ho diminuito gradualmente le quantità di lievito (anche se probabilmente lui mi direbbe di scendere ancora) e aumentato i tempi di lievitazione, con ottimi risultati.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 100gr di farina di segale - 150gr di farina di farro - 150gr di farina integrale - 100gr di farina Manitoba - 300gr di acqua - 3 cucchiai di semi di girasole - 1 cucchiaio di olio extravergine di oliva - 2 cucchiaini di sale - 1 cucchiaino di malto d'orzo - 4gr di lievito di birra&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Con Macchina del Pane o impastatrice: Mettere gli ingredienti nella MdP, acqua e sale assieme, poi le farine, il malto d'orzo, l'olio e il lievito e selezionare il programma impasto. Al suono del beep aggiungere i semi di girasole.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;A mano: Mescolare la farina con il sale, aggiungere gradatamente l'acqua tiepida, il lievito fatto sciogliere in un poco d'acqua e infine il malto d'orzo. Impastare bene in modo da ottenere un impasto morbido ed elastico e aggiungere l'olio e i semi di girasole. Lasciare lievitare, coperto, per tre ore e mezza.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Prendere l'impasto, sgonfiarlo e, su una superficie infarinata con farina integrale, dividerlo in 5 o 6 parti (dipende da quanto volete grandi i panini), formare con ognuna delle stringhe e appiattirle con le mani. Partendo da un'estremità iniziare ad arrotolarle su sé stesse, sistemarle in una teglia ben infarinata o rivestita di carta forno e lasciar lievitare ancora per 40 minuti. Infornare a 230° gradi e cuocere per 15 minuti, quindi girare i panini e proseguire la cottura per altri 5 minuti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459672317443493058" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S8SnC89AzMI/AAAAAAAAB9k/Q0gN_tWrInA/s400/Pane+integrale02_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S8Smwhsq6wI/AAAAAAAAB9U/cMyc-4MUnPI/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459672000889547522" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S8Smwhsq6wI/AAAAAAAAB9U/cMyc-4MUnPI/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S8Sm1-Ila_I/AAAAAAAAB9c/0HIvvdN2x_8/s1600/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459672094422166514" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S8Sm1-Ila_I/AAAAAAAAB9c/0HIvvdN2x_8/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;My wholewheat bread, final release&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;After many attempts I've released the final version of my wholewheat bread, even if I should call it "wholewheat and cereal flour bread", as the main ingredient is not only wholewheat flour. This is the bread I make every other day, the one we like the most at home and also my best one. Thanks to the advice of a chef "met" on Facebook, I've gradually lowered yeast quantities (he'd probably suggest to diminish more) and increased rising times, with great results.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 100gr (0.4cup -3.5oz) rye flour - 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) emmer flour - 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) wholewheat flour - 100gr (0.4cup -3.5oz) Manitoba flour - 300gr (1.3cup - 10.5oz) water - 3tbs sunflower seeds - 1tbs extravirgin olive oil - 2tsp salt - 1tsp barley malt - 4gr (0.9tsp) fresh yeast&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;With a kneader or a bread machine: Put all ingredients into the kneader or the bread machine, water with salt, then all flours, barley malt, oil and yeasts, select kneading program (the basic one), for bread machine. At the beep add sunflower seeds. Leave the dough to rise for three hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Without a kneader or a bread machine: Mix flours with salt, add by degrees warm water and yeast - melted in a bit of water, and then barley malt. Knead until you'll obtain a soft and elastic dough, then add oil and sunflower seeds. Leave the dough to rise for three hours and a half.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Take the dough and, on a floured surface (use wholewheat flour), divide it into five or even six parts (it depends on how big you want your rolls). Now form with them streaks, flatten them with your hands and then roll them up. Transfer on a baking sheet, floured or coverd with parchment, and leave to rise for another 40 minutes. Bake at 230°C (450F - gas mark 8) for 15 minutes, then turn the rolls and cook again for other 5 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3572048187921471394?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3572048187921471394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/04/il-mio-pane-integrale-versione.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3572048187921471394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3572048187921471394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/04/il-mio-pane-integrale-versione.html' title='Il mio pane integrale, versione definitiva'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S8SnJlCsWRI/AAAAAAAAB9s/tw9sKPwMNvc/s72-c/Pane+integrale01_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-7371743994596130959</id><published>2010-04-07T17:40:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-07T17:45:29.093+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biscotti - Biscuits'/><title type='text'>E dopo Pasqua... i brutti ma buoni</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S7yldZVuI6I/AAAAAAAAB9M/DC8Ft4Zrg9A/s1600/Brutti+ma+buoni_new_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S7yldZVuI6I/AAAAAAAAB9M/DC8Ft4Zrg9A/s400/Brutti+ma+buoni_new_resize.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457418772902978466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cosa fare con gli albumi avanzati dalla preparazione della pastiera napoletana? Oh, tante cose si possono fare, dolci e salate, ma ieri avevo poco tempo e poca voglia di spignattare, così mi sono lasciata andare ad un classico, i brutti ma buoni. Porelli, a vederli non sono certo uno spettacolo, ma basta il primo morso e ci si dimentica del loro aspetto e uno tira l'altro. La ricetta originale arriva dal sito dell'&lt;a href="http://www.esselunga.it/"&gt;Esselunga&lt;/a&gt;, io ho apportato qualche piccola modifica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per 14-16 dolcetti&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 110gr zucchero - 140gr di nocciole tostate, tritate finemente -  3 albumi d'uovo - 1 cucchiaino di cannella in polvere&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Montare a neve fermissima gli albumi, quindi incorporare, sempre sbattendo, lo zucchero fino a ottenere una meringa. Aggiungere delicatamente le nocciole tritate e la cannella. Trasferire il tutto in una casseruola e mettere a scaldare a fuoco dolce continuando a mescolare in modo che non attacchi sul fondo. Appena diventerà color nocciola chiaro, ritirare dal fuoco. Con due cucchiaini, formare dei mucchietti in una teglia da forno coperta di carta forno. Infornare a 160 °C per 12-15 minuti. Lasciare intiepidire prima di staccare i dolcetti dal fondo e trasferirli sul piatto da portata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S7ylWyF8r6I/AAAAAAAAB9E/_BO36V5ckQQ/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 15px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S7ylWyF8r6I/AAAAAAAAB9E/_BO36V5ckQQ/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457418659288625058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S7ylTcqKu7I/AAAAAAAAB88/7srzu1sV7JI/s1600/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 16px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S7ylTcqKu7I/AAAAAAAAB88/7srzu1sV7JI/s200/United+States.1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457418601995353010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;And after Easter... brutti ma buoni&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What can you do with spare egg whites (the pastiera napoletana leftovers)? Oh, many things you can do with them, sweet and savoury, but yesterday I had no time and no itch for cooking, so I decided to go classic with brutti ma buoni (lit. transl. ugly but good). Poor thing, they're not so nice to look at, but after the first bite you forget about their look and you keep eating them. The original recipe comes from the &lt;a href="http://www.esselunga.it/"&gt;Esselunga&lt;/a&gt; site, I've modified only few things.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Makes 14-16&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt; 110gr (0.49cup - 3.9oz) sugar - 140gr (0.6cup - 4.9oz) ground hazelnuts - 3 egg whites - 1tsp cinnamon&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In a bowl whisk egg whites to the stiff peak stage then pour in sugar, keeping whisking, in order to obtain a meringue. Delicately add hazelnuts and cinnamon. Transfer the mixture into a sauce pan and place it over a low heat, stirring often to prevent from sticking. When it will start turning into a light brown colour mix, take off heat. Now line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put  teaspoonfuls of the mixture on them. Bake in the oven at 160°C (310° F) or 12-15 minutes. Leave to cool before lifting the biscuits from the baking sheet. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&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/31933112-7371743994596130959?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/7371743994596130959/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/04/e-dopo-pasqua-i-brutti-ma-buoni.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7371743994596130959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7371743994596130959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/04/e-dopo-pasqua-i-brutti-ma-buoni.html' title='E dopo Pasqua... i brutti ma buoni'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S7yldZVuI6I/AAAAAAAAB9M/DC8Ft4Zrg9A/s72-c/Brutti+ma+buoni_new_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-8306524972976093180</id><published>2010-03-31T19:14:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-03-31T19:30:49.650+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Primi piatti - Starters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pizze e focacce'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Piatti unici - All-in-one courses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antipasti - Appetizers'/><title type='text'>Menu pasquale? Più o meno...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A Pasqua non seguo la tradizione. Non cucino agnello (povero agnellino...) e non preparo i canonici piatti della tradizione, fatta esclusione la pastiera napoletana, per la quale nutro una vera e propria passione e alla quale non so proprio rinunciare. Cosa preparo quindi? Dipende. Dipende dall'umore, da chi ho invitato a pranzo, e dal tempo che ho per cucinare. Quest'anno ad esempio sto meditando di eliminare il primo, dato che dopo gli antipasti si è già quasi -quasi eh...- pieni, e quando si arriva al secondo se ne prende sempre poco, per non parlare poi del dolce... "una fettina sottile per favore!" Come, solo una fettina sottile della mia pastiera?! Poi c'è chi porta sempre la colomba, e quindi non puoi non aprirla ed offrirla,  perciò si arriva sempre a fine pasto pieni e strapieni. Quest'anno quindi, si taglia via qualcosa al menu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mi limito in questo post, a suggerirvi solo qualche piatto che potrete aggiungere al vostro menu, della tradizione o non. Buona Pasqua!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;On Easter, I don't like to follow the tradition. I don't cook lamb (poor little lamb...) and I don't cook tradional dishes, except the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastiera"&gt;pastiera napoletana&lt;/a&gt;, which I adore and I can't renounce to it. So, what do I prepare? It depends. It depends on the mood, on the guests and on the time I have to cook. This year for example I'm thinking about to remove from the menu the pasta dish: after having some appetizers we are almost -and I say almost- full, when we're about to have the main course we take only a little of it, and don't even mention the dessert... "Please, a very thin slice only!" What? A thin slice of my pastiera?! Moreover, there's always someone who comes to your house bringing a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colomba_Pasquale"&gt;colomba&lt;/a&gt;, so you have to offer that one too, and after lunch you're more then full, you literally explode. This year, I'm cutting off dishes from the menu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;In this post, I'm going to suggest few dishes that you can add to your personal menu, tradional or not. Happy Easter!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S7N7YLF8DLI/AAAAAAAAB7k/dO0V6q9fqNU/s1600/Muffin+asparagi%2302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left;

Imma raccoglierà tutte le ricette che i food blogger le invieranno in un pdf scaricabile, e sorteggerà successivamente due vincitori che si aggiudicheranno un abbonamento alle riviste &lt;a href="http://www.piudolci.it/"&gt;Più dolci&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.piucucina.it/"&gt;Più cucina&lt;/a&gt;, rispettivamente per la categoria cheesecakes dolci e per la categoria cheesecakes salate. Il post del contest lo trovate &lt;a href="http://dolciagogo.blogspot.com/2010/03/il-contest-di-primaveradal-dolce-al.html"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thanks to &lt;a href="http://lagaietta.wordpress.com/"&gt;Gaia&lt;/a&gt; I've discovered Imma's blog, &lt;a href="http://dolciagogo.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dolci a go go&lt;/a&gt;, and I've decided to participate to her spring contest on cheesecakes, sweet and &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;savoury. Imma will gather all the recipes that foodbloggers will send her in a downloadable pdf and then she'll choose at random two recipes, one for the sweet cheesecakes, one for the savoury, and these two will win respectively a subscription to the magazines &lt;a href="http://www.piudolci.it/"&gt;Più Dolci&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.piucucina.it/"&gt;Più cucina&lt;/a&gt;.

a partecipare ad un gioco che vede alcuni food blogger sfidarsi proponendo una "ricetta Nicolas" per le emergenze. Di cosa si tratta? Anche questa volta parliamo di un film (in uscita il 2 aprile al cinema), "Il piccolo Nicolas e i suoi genitori" tratto dalla seria di libri illustrati "Il piccolo Nicolas" di René Goscinny e Sempé Jean-Jacques, racconta le avventure di Nicolas, un bambino che conduce una vita serena nella Francia degli anni Sessanta assieme ai suoi genitori. In una scena del film, la mamma di Nicolas prepara una suntuosa cena a base di aragosta per il capo di suo marito e sua moglie ma, subito prima di servirla, scopre che la signora è allergica ai crostacei e tenta di riparare con dei tortellini precotti che peggioreranno la situazione. La sfida per noi food bloggers è proprio questa, creare o proporre una variante di un piatto che conosciamo, una "ricetta Nicolas per le emergenze in cucina" per evitare di fare brutte figure in cucina come la madre di Nicolas. A partire da domani, lunedì 22 marzo, sulla &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#%21/pages/Il-Piccolo-Nicolas-e-i-suoi-genitori/302706521950?ref=ts"&gt;pagina di Facebook di Nicolas&lt;/a&gt; verranno pubblicate una ricetta al giorno e le 5 più commentate entro il 30 marzo riceveranno il libro edito da Donzelli "il piccolo Nicolas e i suoi genitori". Quindi, controllate la pagina di Facebook e commentate la mia ricetta! ;-) &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7PrRGXHsj0"&gt;Qui&lt;/a&gt; trovate la clip del film.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Parlando di ricetta per l'appunto, quella che io propongo è un mio cavallo di battaglia per le emergenze o per quando si vuole preparare qualcosa di estremamente veloce ma allo stesso tempo gustoso. Per far questo ovviamente dovete disporre sempre in casa di questi ingredienti: fettine di lonza di maiale (per fortuna nell'era moderna disponiamo del freezer), capperi, uvetta, pinoli, prosciutto crudo, passata di pomodoro e pangrattato. Sono ingredienti piuttosto comuni, giusto? Chi non ha i capperi in frigo? E il prosciutto crudo? Io tengo sempre una busta di crudo a fette  sottovuoto per le emergenze e per cucinare. Allora, eccovi la mia ricetta di emergenza!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Per 4 persone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt; 500gr di lonza di maiale a fette (12 fette) - 12 fette di prosciutto crudo - due manciate di uvetta - due cucchiai di pinoli - 15 o 20 capperi - 3 cucchiai di pangrattato - ½ bicchiere di passata di pomodoro - vino bianco - 3 cucchiai di olio extravergine di oliva - sale pepe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Avrete bisogno anche di 12 stuzzicadenti&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In un robot da cucina mettere assieme i capperi, l'uvetta fatta rinvenire nell'acqua* e strizzata e il pangrattato. Frullate** alla massima potenza per pochi secondi. Pestare con il pesta carne le fette di lonza, salare e pepare. Adagiare sopra ogni fetta, una fetta di prosciutto e un cucchiaio di composto, appiattendolo bene e qualche pinolo. Arrotolare la lonza e fermarla con un stuzzicadenti, ripetendo lo stesso procedimento per ognuna. In una larga padella scaldare l'olio, quindi farvi rosolare gli involtini per 3 minuti su entrambi i lati e sfumare con un poco di vino bianco. Appena questo si sarà asciugato, aggiungere la passata di pomodoro, aggiustare di sale e far cuocere su entrambi i lati a fuoco lento per 15-20 minuti. Servire subito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;*p&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;er velocizzare anche questo procedimento, mettere l'uvetta in una ciotolina &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;coperta d'acqua, cuocere nel microonde a 650W per 40 secondi.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;**Se non avete abbastanza tempo, potete evitare di frullare gli ingredienti e distribuirli direttamente sulla carne.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S6Y0sMyiZqI/AAAAAAAAB6k/8_ohrv4Spu8/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 15px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S6Y0sMyiZqI/AAAAAAAAB6k/8_ohrv4Spu8/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451102332930647714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S6Y0mMC6riI/AAAAAAAAB6c/WAst2jdZh_k/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 16px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S6Y0mMC6riI/AAAAAAAAB6c/WAst2jdZh_k/s200/United+States.1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451102229651697186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;mergency rolls with raisins and pine nuts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;I was invited by Valeria from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.alphabetcity.it/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#996633;"&gt;Alphabetcity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt; to participate to a game where food bloggers challenge each other submitting a "Nicholas recipe for emergencies". What is it? Also this time we are talking about a movie (out in theatres on April 2nd, here in Italy), "The Little Nicholas" comes from a series of French cartoon figures books by René Goscinny and Sempé Jean-Jacques, and it tells the story of Nicholas, a child who lives in France during 60's with his parents. In a movie scene, Nicholas mum prepares a sumptuous dinner with lobster for his husband's boss and wife but, just before serving, she discovers that the lady is allergic to shellfishes and tries to remedy with precooked tortellini, but thNicholas Facebook pageis will worsen the entire situation. So the challenge for the food bloggers is just this one, create or present a variation of a dish that we know, a "Nicholas recipe for emergencies"  to avoid a bad impression in the kitchen just as  happened to Nicholas' mother. Starting from tomorrow, monday 22nd march, on the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#%21/pages/Il-Piccolo-Nicolas-e-i-suoi-genitori/302706521950?ref=ts"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#996633;"&gt;Nicholas Facebook page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt; each day  will be published one recipe and the 5 more commented within 30th march will receive as a gift the book from Donzelli editor "The little Nicholas". So, check out Facebook page and comment my recipe! ;-) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#996633;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7PrRGXHsj0"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt; you'll find the movie scene I was talking about. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;Talking about recipe, what I'm submitting here is my forte for emergencies or even when you'd like to prepare something super quick but tasty at the same time. To do this you'll need to have at home these ingredients: pork tenderloin slices (fortunately in the modern era we have freezer) capers, raisins, pine nuts, prosciutto crudo, tomato sauce and breadcrumbs. These are common ingredients, right? Who doesn't have capers in the fridge? And prociutto crudo? I keep a packet of vacuum-packed sliced prosciutto crudo for emergencies or to use it for cooking. So, here is my emergency recipe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;Serves 4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt; 500gr &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;(2.2cup - 17.6oz) pork tenderloin, sliced (12 slices) - 12 slices prosciutto crudo - 2 hanfuls raisins - 2tbs pine nuts - 15 o 20 capers - 3tbs breadcrumbs - ½ glass of tomato sauce - white wine (few tbs) - 3tbs extravirgin olive oil - salt - pepper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;You will also need 12 toothpicks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#333333;"&gt;In a food processor place together capers, raisins* (already smoothened with hot water, drained and dried) and breadcrumbs. Give it a whiz**. Beat with a meat pounder loin slices, add salt and pepper. Place on each slice one slice of prosciutto, the mixture of bread, capers and raisins, flatten it and few pine nuts. Roll the meat tight and fix it with a toothpick. Continue like this till you'll end up the meat. In a large saucepan heat oil at medium heat, start frying tha rolls on each side for three minutes, then add wine.

Ho pensato subito agli &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/04/gnocchi-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;gnocchi con le barbabietole&lt;/a&gt;, allora avevo utilizzato i porri per condirli e mi era piaciuto molto il contrasto. Così alle barbabietole si sono aggiunti i porri, poi le carote perché sì anche loro stanno bene un pò ovunque, e la robiola è il mio ingrediente jolly. Sono nate così queste linguine, un primo piatto gustoso ma leggero, perfetto se avete poco tempo da impiegare in cucina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 3-4 persone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingr&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S5fYvOH-zSI/AAAAAAAAB58/c2NIcXn3u94/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;edienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 320gr di linguine n. 6 Voiello - 200gr di robiola - 50gr di latte - 2 cucchiai di parmigiano grattugiato - 1 barbabietola precotta - 1 grosso porro - 2 carote - 3 cucchiai di olio extravergine di oliva - sale - pepe &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Preparare le verdure: pulire il porro, tagliarlo a rondelle e scottarlo in acqua bollente per 2-3 minuti (si può utilizzare anche il forno a microonde, immergendo il porro in un piatto fondo con acqua e cuocendo a 750W per 2-3 minuti). Pulire le carote e tagliarle a julienne. Sbucciare la barbabietola e tagliarla a dadini. In una larga padella par scaldare l'olio quindi iniziare a cuocere a fuoco vivace prima le carote per un paio di minuti, poi aggiungere i porri e cuocere per 6-7 minuti, infine la barbabietola. Fate saltare ancora per 5 minuti e aggiustare di sale. Nel frattempo in una zuppiera ridurre a crema la robiola, aggiungendo il parmigiano, un pò di pepe e il latte intiepidito. Mescolare alla crema ¾ delle verdure. In una pentola portare a bollore l'acqua, salare e cuocere le linguine (per quelle Voiello occorrono 6 minuti). Scolare e mescolarle alla crema. Impiattare, decorare con la verdura rimasta e servire subito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S5fZCl0iAUI/AAAAAAAAB6E/00kRv5bAaQs/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447060912863314242" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S5fZCl0iAUI/AAAAAAAAB6E/00kRv5bAaQs/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S5fYqUWzNzI/AAAAAAAAB50/cfbGNTrG5JI/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447060495858349874" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S5fYqUWzNzI/AAAAAAAAB50/cfbGNTrG5JI/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Linguine with robiola cream, betroot, carrot and leek &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I craved for a pasta dish with betroot, something quick and easy to make even during my lunch time. I thought about the &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/04/gnocchi-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;gnocchi with betroot&lt;/a&gt;, in that occasion I used leeks as a dressing and I liked very much the contrast of flavours. So I put together with it leeks too, and also carrots because well, they fit almost everywhere, and robiola cheese is my jack-of-all-trades ingredient. That's how it popped out of my mind this pasta dish, a tasty but light one, perfect for those who don't have a lot of time for cooking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Serves 3-4&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 320gr (11.3oz) linguine n. 6 Voiello - 200gr (0.87cup - 7oz) robiola cheese - 50gr (0.2cup - 1.7oz) milk - 2tbs grated parmesan - 1 boiled betroot - 1 big leek - 2 carrotts - 3tbs extravirgin olive oil - salt - pepper&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;First of all prepare the vegetables. Trim, chop and wash leeks in cold water then boil them for 2-3 minutes and scoop them into a colander to drain (you can also use the microwave, placing leeks in a salad plate with water and cooking at 750W for 2-3 minutes). Peel the carrots and slice them julienne. Peel betroot and dice it. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil then cook carrots for a couple of minutes at medium heat. Add leeks and keep cooking for some more 6-7 minutes. Last, add betroot, fry again for 2 minutes and season with salt. In a bowl cream robiola cheese with parmesan, a little bit of pepper and warmed milk. Pour in ¾ of the vegetables. Bring the salted water to a good fierce boil before the linguine goes in and cook till al dente (6 minutes the n.6 Voiello brand). Drain them into a colander then return it to the bowl, toss it around thoroughly then serve in pasta bowls with the remaining vegetables sprinkled over.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-2708459098419731290?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/2708459098419731290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/03/linguine-con-crema-di-robiola.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/2708459098419731290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/2708459098419731290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/03/linguine-con-crema-di-robiola.html' title='Linguine con crema di robiola, barbabietole, carote e porri'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S5fZS6mTG6I/AAAAAAAAB6M/BQFadQtrP0s/s72-c/Linguine+barbabietola%2301.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-567730425267708935</id><published>2010-02-25T18:30:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-25T18:41:45.992+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Gianduja muffin</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S4a07x4RQeI/AAAAAAAAB5g/SipqGb2bOo8/s1600-h/Gianduia+muffin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442236138818453986" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S4a07x4RQeI/AAAAAAAAB5g/SipqGb2bOo8/s400/Gianduia+muffin.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Se vi piace la crema gianduia questi sono i muffin che fanno per voi.

They're very perfumed and really really spongy even few days later (which doesn't happen all the time with muffins), they're definetly one of my best tries. Quick and easy to make, they're the right choice if you want to prepare something sweet even during the week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr (7oz - 0.875cup) flour - 150gr (5.2oz) sugar - 2 eggs - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) butter - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) dark chocolate - 70gr (0.3cup - 2.4oz) ground hazelnuts - 1½tsp baking powder - 90ml (1.1cup) milk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mix together flour, baking powder and hazelnuts. Place chocolate and diced butter in a large, heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of barely simmering water, and allow the chocolate to melt (or you can use microwave). When done, whisk it with eggs and milk then mix together with dry ingredients. If you are using muffin cases, arrange them in the tins and spoon the mixture into them; alternatively, spoon the mixture straight into the greased tins. Bake at 180°C (350F - gas mark 4) for 20 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-567730425267708935?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/567730425267708935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/02/gianduja-muffin.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/567730425267708935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/567730425267708935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/02/gianduja-muffin.html' title='Gianduja muffin'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S4a07x4RQeI/AAAAAAAAB5g/SipqGb2bOo8/s72-c/Gianduia+muffin.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-1532855769717846099</id><published>2010-02-12T15:18:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-12T15:26:21.297+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Primi piatti - Starters'/><title type='text'>Fagottini con barbabietola e toma piemontese</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S3U7XXLYihI/AAAAAAAAB4g/5iWfwHcLmOs/s1600-h/Fagottini+barbabietola%2302_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437317397664533010" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S3U7XXLYihI/AAAAAAAAB4g/5iWfwHcLmOs/s400/Fagottini+barbabietola%2302_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mi piace molto utilizzare la barbabietola nella preparazione di pane e pasta fresca, è un colorante naturale spettacolare. In passato ci ho fatto anche &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/04/gnocchi-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;gnocchi&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2008/01/fettuccine-rosa.html"&gt;fettuccine&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/03/panini-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;pane&lt;/a&gt;, e da un pò pensavo a dei ravioli con un ripieno colorato di viola. Il sapore dolce della barbabietola è attenuato dalla toma piemontese - che trovo sia un formaggio molto versatile in cucina - e dal parmigiano. Anziché preparare i classici ravioli ho preferito fare dei fagottini e chiuderli partendo da 3 angoli anziché da 4, per dargli una forma un pò insolita, un pò "aliena". Normalmente quando preparo della pasta ripiena che ha un ripieno -appunto- già molto importante li condisco semplicemente con burro fuso e parmigiano per esaltarne il sapore, ma se preferite potete anche condire questi fagottini con una fonduta leggera di toma piemontese, che preparerete facendo fondere a bagnomaria questo formaggio con un paio di cucchiai di latte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 2 persone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;per la pasta:&lt;/em&gt; 200gr di semola di grano duro - 2 uova&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;per il ripieno:&lt;/em&gt; 1 barbabietola precotta (peso circa 120/150gr) - 60gr di toma piemontese - 2 cucchiai di parmigiano grattugiato - 2 cucchiaini di pangrattato&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;per condire:&lt;/em&gt; burro fuso - parmigiano grattugiato&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mescolare energicamente la farina con le uova. Far riposare l'impasto per mezz'ora prima di stenderla con la sfogliatrice o con il mattarello. Intanto preparare il ripieno: in un robot da cucina frullare assieme la barbabietola (privata della buccia), la toma, il parmigiano e il pangrattato, ottenendo così un composto ben sodo e cremoso. Ora stendere la sfoglia, con un mattarello o con la sfogliatrice. Ritagliare con un tagliapasta o un bicchiere dei dischi di 8cm di diametro. Distribuire un cucchiaino o poco di più di ripieno su tutti i dischi. Pressare i tre angoli della sfoglia ed anche i bordi per formare dei fagottini ben sigillati. Portare a bollore una pentola di acqua salata e cuocere i fagottini per 7-8 minuti (dipende dallo spessore della pasta). Scolare e condire con abbondante burro fuso e parmigiano a piacere. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437317215289547218" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S3U7MvxzGdI/AAAAAAAAB4Y/b9NyBwNIUBw/s400/Fagottini+barbabietola%2303_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S3U6dwiF2BI/AAAAAAAAB4I/-MzxtcX0HRA/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437316408038250514" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S3U6dwiF2BI/AAAAAAAAB4I/-MzxtcX0HRA/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S3U6ZymX04I/AAAAAAAAB4A/ZUS1-3e5gzI/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437316339873600386" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S3U6ZymX04I/AAAAAAAAB4A/ZUS1-3e5gzI/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Betroot and toma piemontese fagottini&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I like to use betroot to prepare fresh pasta and bread, it's an amazing natural colour. I've already made &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/04/gnocchi-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;gnocchi&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2008/01/fettuccine-rosa.html"&gt;fettuccine&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2007/03/panini-con-barbabietola.html"&gt;bread&lt;/a&gt; with it, and I was thinking about making some ravioli with a purple filling from a long time now. The sweet betroot taste is softened by the toma piemontese - which is a quite versatile cheese on my opinion - and by parmesan. Instead of making the classic ravioli I preferred to prepare some &lt;em&gt;fagottini&lt;/em&gt; (which literally means "small boxes, small bundles") and close them starting from 3 angles instead of 4, just to give them a strange, "alien" shape. Normally when I make ravioli that have an important filling, I dress them with melted butter and parmesan only, to exalt their flavour, but if you like you can prepare a fondue with toma piemontese and 2tbs of milk, placing them in a large, heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of barely simmering water, and allow them to melt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Serves 2&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;for the pasta dough:&lt;/em&gt; 200gr (7oz - 0.875cup) hard wheat flour - 2 eggs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;for the filling:&lt;/em&gt; 1 boiled betroot (about 120/150gr - 4.2/5.2oz) - 60gr (2.11oz) &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toma_Piemontese"&gt;toma piemontese&lt;/a&gt; cheese - 2 tbs grated parmesan - 2tsp bread crumbs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;for the dressing:&lt;/em&gt; melted butter - grated parmesan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knead well flour and eggs, then pop the dough into a polythene bag and leave to rest for 30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the filling, placing in a food processor betroot (peeled off), toma, parmesan and bread crumbs. Reduce them to a puree and set aside. Roll out the pastry with the pasta machine or the rolling pin, then with a pasta cutter or a glass, cut out rounds with a diameter of 8cm. Place a tsp - or a bit more - of the filling in the centre of each round. Press with your fingers three angles and edges to shape and seal the fagottini. To cook them, bring to boil salted water in a pot, then cook the ravioli for 7-8 minutes (depends from the thickness of the pasta), drain them and serve with melted butter and grated parmesan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437316825351827634" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S3U62DJZsLI/AAAAAAAAB4Q/IaqnKcJB1VY/s400/Fagottini+barbabietola%2301_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-1532855769717846099?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/1532855769717846099/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/02/fagottini-con-barbabietola-e-toma.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/1532855769717846099'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/1532855769717846099'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/02/fagottini-con-barbabietola-e-toma.html' title='Fagottini con barbabietola e toma piemontese'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S3U7XXLYihI/AAAAAAAAB4g/5iWfwHcLmOs/s72-c/Fagottini+barbabietola%2302_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-3151716638517590899</id><published>2010-01-27T18:22:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-27T18:28:44.373+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conserve - preserves'/><title type='text'>Marmellata di arance e cardamomo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2B2VACWkhI/AAAAAAAAB3A/JpjN-KgY7Vo/s1600-h/Marmellata+arancia%2Bcardamomo_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431471253768016402" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2B2VACWkhI/AAAAAAAAB3A/JpjN-KgY7Vo/s400/Marmellata+arancia%2Bcardamomo_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;L'abbinamento arancia e cardamomo è più che noto, un classico direi, l'avevo già proposto in un &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/03/cake-con-arancia-e-cardamomo.html"&gt;cake&lt;/a&gt;, ma nella marmellata non l'avevo ancora provato. Non poteva che piacermi, ovvio, adoro il cardamomo e adoro le marmellate di agrumi, diciamo che ci avrei dovuto pensare prima! ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 1,5kg di arance non trattate - 400gr di zucchero* - 1 busta e ½ di fruttapec 2:1 - 5 bacche di cardamomo verde&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;*io uso poco zucchero, eventualmente aggiungetene di più&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Lavare le arance, tirare via un pò delle bucce con un rigalimoni e tenetele da parte. Tagliare a metà le arance e spremerle, conservare anche la polpa togliendo eventuali semi e filamenti bianchi. Aprire le bacche di cardamomo, estrarne i semini e pestarli finemente al mortaio. In una pentola versare polpa, buccia, succo di arance, aggiungere cardamomo, zucchero e fruttapec che avrete mescolato assieme prima. Mescolare e iniziare la cottura: normalmente con il fruttapec bastano 5 minuti dopo che inizia a bollire. Per vedere se la marmellata è pronta e se ha la giusta consistenza, versarne una piccolissima quantità su di un piattino e vedere se si rapprende. Trasferire subito la marmellata nei vasi sterilizzati, chiuderli bene e capovolgerli per qualche minuto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2B1O6Obv_I/AAAAAAAAB2w/J9AP1Gl7TMs/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431470049617231858" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2B1O6Obv_I/AAAAAAAAB2w/J9AP1Gl7TMs/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2B2AOBVFpI/AAAAAAAAB24/iGZbfxcu7SQ/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431470896744568466" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2B2AOBVFpI/AAAAAAAAB24/iGZbfxcu7SQ/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Orange and cardamom jam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Orange and cardamom is a perfect and well known match, I wrote a post of a &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/03/cake-con-arancia-e-cardamomo.html"&gt;cake&lt;/a&gt; with it, but I've never tried it in a jam.

Halve them, squeeze them but keep the pulp, throwing away seeds and pith. Open cardamom pods, take out the seeds and crush them in a mortar. Place orange juice, pulp and peel in a casserole with cardamom, sugar and pectine. Mix and start cooking. Normally, if you use pectine, it takes 5 minutes after the mixture starts boiling. Check the density placing a small quantity of jam on a plate and see if it thickens. Pour it, still hot, into the jars, seal them and turn upside down for few minutes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3151716638517590899?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3151716638517590899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/01/marmellata-di-arancia-e-cardamomo.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3151716638517590899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3151716638517590899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/01/marmellata-di-arancia-e-cardamomo.html' title='Marmellata di arance e cardamomo'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2B2VACWkhI/AAAAAAAAB3A/JpjN-KgY7Vo/s72-c/Marmellata+arancia%2Bcardamomo_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-9109708511499717411</id><published>2010-01-20T19:03:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-20T19:09:20.151+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pane - Bread'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Brioche con datteri e noci</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428883217774463762" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S1dEheqGyxI/AAAAAAAAB2Y/oeZkYKd8PTQ/s400/Brioche+datteri%2303_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Stavo "covando" questa brioche da tempo, da quando ho visto la ricetta sul numero di Dicembre di Sale &amp;amp; Pepe. Ho aspettato però la fine delle feste natalizie, tra panettone, pandoro e torrone ce n'era già abbastanza di dolci da mangiare. Ho riadattato la ricetta in base ai miei gusti, diminuendo la quantità di lievito e sostituendo i fichi secchi con i datteri e aggiungendo anche le noci. La brioche è poco dolce, quindi se vi piace, potete aumentare le dosi di zucchero. La mia si è scurita e asciugata un pò troppo durante la cottura, sarebbe dovuta essere più dorata, quindi tenetene conto se anche voi avete un vecchio forno, e semmai diminuite la temperatura e tenetela d'occhio durante la cottura.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farina di mais fioretto - 250gr di farina manitoba - 2 uova intere - 2 tuorli d'uovo - 120gr di burro - 50 gr di zucchero - 200gr di datteri - 150gr di noci - 15gr di lievito di birra - 125ml di latte - 2 cucchiai di rum - scorza grattugiata di 1 limone non trattato - sale - zucchero a velo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mescolare 100gr di farina manitoba con il lievito e il latte, lasciare lievitare per 30 minuti. Snocciolare e tagliare a pezzetti i datteri e lasciarli ammorbidire nel rhum. Tritare grossolanamente le noci. Dopo la lievitazione, impastare il composto assieme alla farina rimasta, le uova sbattute appena, il burro fuso, lo zucchero, la scorza di limone e un pizzico di sale. Impastare per 10 minuti e aggiungere un minuto prima i datteri (strizzati) e le noci. Lasciar lievitare coperto in un luogo riparato per due ore. Trascorso questo tempo, prendere l'impasto e dividerlo in piccole parti, dovrete formare tante palline (grandi quanto un limone all'incirca) e sistemarle in una teglia rotonda di 30cm di diametro, oppure direttamente sulla teglia da forno, in entrambi i casi dovrete utilizzare la carta forno. Si inizia a posizionarle partendo dal centro, con una pallina, poi altre cinque intorno in un primo cerchio e poi le ultime a formare l'ultimo cerchio. Lasciar lievitare ancora per 45 minuti, quindi infornare a 180° per 35 minuti. Lasciar raffreddare e spolverizzare con dello zucchero a velo a piacere. Per mangiarla, si prendono volta a volta i panini con le mani non si taglia con il coltello.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428883531930841890" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S1dEzw-0syI/AAAAAAAAB2g/keLAKTmXxt0/s400/Brioche+datteri%2302_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S1dEG_R7Z-I/AAAAAAAAB2I/CAyO8Hc7-Zo/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428882762674956258" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S1dEG_R7Z-I/AAAAAAAAB2I/CAyO8Hc7-Zo/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S1dEL6XsR4I/AAAAAAAAB2Q/kt9JZr4FF1o/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428882847256299394" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S1dEL6XsR4I/AAAAAAAAB2Q/kt9JZr4FF1o/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dates and nuts brioche&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I was thinking about baking this brioche from a long time, since I saw the recipe from Sale &amp;amp; Pepe, December issue. I've wated the end of Christmas holidays though, there where too many &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panettone"&gt;panettone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandoro"&gt;pandoro&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrone"&gt;torrone&lt;/a&gt; to try this one too. I've adapted the recipe, lowering yeast quantities and substituting dried figs with dates and adding nuts. The brioche is not very sweet, so you can think about adding some more sugar if you like. Mine browned too much, it had to be golden brown, so you should keep it in mind if you too have an old oven, just in case lower oven temperature and watch it during baking time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8 oz) maize flour, fine-grained - 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8 oz) Manitoba flour - 2 eggs - 2 egg yolks - 120gr (0.5cup - 4oz) butter - 50gr (0.2cup-1.7oz) sugar - 200gr (0.9cup-7.2oz) dates - 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) nuts - 15gr (3.2tsp) brewer's yeast - 125ml (4.3oz)milk - 2tbs rhum - zest of 1 lemon - salt - icing sugar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Mix together 100gr (½cup-3.5oz) Manitoba flour, yeast and milk. Leave to rise for 30 minutes. Reel off dates' stones, chop them and leave them in a bowl with rhum to soften. Grind nuts. After rising, knead the mixture with the remaining flour, eggs lightly beaten, melted butter, sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Knead for ten minutes and add dates and nuts only at the end. Leave the dough to rise for two hours. After this time, take the dough and divide it into small balls the size of a lemon. You should place them in a round tin with a diameter of 30cm (12inch) or also on a baking sheet. Either case, use parchment paper. Start from the centre with one ball, proceed forming the first circle with five balls, then use the remaining balls to form the second circle. Leave again to rise for 45 minutes, then bake at 180°C (350° F) for 35 minutes. Cool down, then dust with icing sugar. When you want to eat it, just grab a brioche with your hands, you don't need to use a knife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428883760462918434" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S1dFBEVHcyI/AAAAAAAAB2o/maWMh5DMrH8/s400/Brioche+datteri%2301_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-9109708511499717411?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/9109708511499717411/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/01/brioche-con-datteri-e-noci.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/9109708511499717411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/9109708511499717411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/01/brioche-con-datteri-e-noci.html' title='Brioche con datteri e noci'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S1dEheqGyxI/AAAAAAAAB2Y/oeZkYKd8PTQ/s72-c/Brioche+datteri%2303_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-4925745209915699938</id><published>2010-01-08T17:45:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T17:48:29.879+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Soul Kitchen recipes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antipasti - Appetizers'/><title type='text'>Papillon di gazpacho andaluso alla maniera di Shayns</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0da-Pd_toI/AAAAAAAAB2A/yWNOhgc3igo/s1600-h/locandina+di+soul+kitchen%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 283px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424404301541783170" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0da-Pd_toI/AAAAAAAAB2A/yWNOhgc3igo/s400/locandina+di+soul+kitchen%5B4%5D.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Siamo arrivati all'ultimo appuntamento con le ricette di Soul Kitchen, oggi il film esce nei cinema di tutta Italia. E' stato divertente, ringrazio Valeria di &lt;a href="http://www.alphabetcity.it/"&gt;Alphabetcity&lt;/a&gt; per avermi permesso di partecipare e... non vedo l'ora di vederlo anch'io il film! La sesta ricetta è un gazpacho un pò particolare, che proverò sicuramente non appena le temperature inizieranno ad aumentare, con questo freddo una zuppa ancor più fredda non riesco proprio a provarla! ;-)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soul- ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 fette di pane bianco - 600gr di pomodori maturi - 2 peperoni - 1 cetriolo - 3-4 spicchi d’aglio - 150ml di olio d’oliva - sale - pepe macinato fresco - 2-3 cucchiai da minestra di aceto di Sherry - 2 uova sode - 2 scalogni &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Tagliate via la crosta dalle due fette di pane e sbriciolatele grossolanamente, imbevetele d’acqua e lasciate inumidire. Nel frattempo pelate i pomodori. Privateli dei semi e tagliateli in piccoli pezzi uniformi. Fate lo stesso con i peperoni ed il cetriolo. Sbucciate l’aglio e tagliatelo grossolanamente. Conservate in due piccole ciotole una parte dei pomodori e dei peperoni. Vi serviranno più tardi come guarnizione. Prendete il cetriolo, i pomodori e i peperoni restanti e passateli assieme all’aglio nel mixer. Aggiungete il pane e 125ml d’olio, mischiate ulteriormente e passate dunque al setaccio. Versatevi ora abbastanza acqua (o brodo) fino ad ottenere la consistenza desiderata. Aggiustate di sale e pepe e fate freddare per due ore in frigorifero. Con il pane restante tagliate dei dadini e fateli abbrustolire nell’olio. Sminuzzate lo scalogno e le uova sode e conservate il pane abbrustolito, lo scalogno e le uova in tre ciotoline separate. Servite la zuppa molto fredda. Come accompagnamento porterete in tavola le ciotoline con le verdure e il pane bruscato, così come quelle con le uova e lo scalogno. Ogni commensale ne aggiungerà a suo piacimento alla zuppa. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424404204048139218" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0da4kRsw9I/AAAAAAAAB14/1QKY_KHNerw/s400/moritz-bleibtreu-sul-set-del-film-soul-kitchen-di-fatih-akin-127633.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0dZLLA-ANI/AAAAAAAAB1w/kwgww6QlI8w/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424402324661338322" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0dZLLA-ANI/AAAAAAAAB1w/kwgww6QlI8w/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0dZFVbZZlI/AAAAAAAAB1o/EUKskJ-nJSM/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424402224377325138" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0dZFVbZZlI/AAAAAAAAB1o/EUKskJ-nJSM/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Shayns' Andalusian gazpacho&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;We're arrived to our final Soul Kitchen recipe, today the movie is out in theatres all over Italy. It was fun, I have to thank Valeria from &lt;a href="http://www.alphabetcity.it/"&gt;Alphabetcity&lt;/a&gt; who allowed me to participate and... I long to see the movie! This sixth recipe is a particular gazpacho that I will surely try when temperatures here will get higher, with this cold I really can't have a chilled soup! ;-)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soul ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 slices white bread - 600gr (2.6cup - 21oz) mature tomatoes - 2 peppers - 1 cucumber - 3-4 garlic cloves - 150ml (5oz) olive oil - salt - pepper - 2-3tbs Sherry vinegar - 2 hard boiled eggs - 2 shallotts&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="justify"&gt;Cut out bread crust from two slices of bread, crumble and imbue with water. In the meantime, peel tomatoes, take out seeds and chop them. Do the same with cucumber and peppers. Peel and slice garlic cloves. Keep aside a small part of tomatoes and peppers, in two different bowls, you'll need them to decorate. Place the remaining peppers, tomatoes and garlic in a food processor and give it a whiz. Add bread, 125ml (4.3oz) of olive oil, whiz again, pour in some water or broth to obtain the right consistency. Add salt and pepper and cool down in the fridge for two hours. Dice the remaining bread and fry it in a pan with olive oil. Chop shallots and hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and place them with into different bowls. Do the same with fried bread. Serve soup chilled, together with tomatoes, peppers, eggs, shallots and bread. Every fellow diner will add them in the soup as preferred.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-4925745209915699938?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/4925745209915699938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/01/papillon-di-gazpacho-andaluso-alla.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4925745209915699938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4925745209915699938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/01/papillon-di-gazpacho-andaluso-alla.html' title='Papillon di gazpacho andaluso alla maniera di Shayns'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0da-Pd_toI/AAAAAAAAB2A/yWNOhgc3igo/s72-c/locandina+di+soul+kitchen%5B4%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-9076271425406324282</id><published>2010-01-05T18:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-05T18:26:01.491+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Soul Kitchen recipes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Festosa schiuma di Venere su di un letto di "soul" uva</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0N1-oY4-ZI/AAAAAAAAB1g/J0_ppgcFuGw/s1600-h/SK_02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0N1-oY4-ZI/AAAAAAAAB1g/J0_ppgcFuGw/s400/SK_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423308095138363794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;Anno nuovo, nuova &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ricetta &lt;a href="http://http//www.facebook.com/pages/SOUL-KITCHEN/201488657992"&gt;Soul Kitchen&lt;/a&gt;, anc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;he se siamo quasi alla fine con questi appuntamenti, il film sta per uscire!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; Questa volta abbiamo un dessert, un'idea davvero carina e golosa per presentare della frutta fresca. Non l'ho potuta provare per voi perché fragole ed uva non sono proprio frutta di stagione,  l'uva  arriva in genere dal Sud Africa, le fragole sono di serra... non mi sembra proprio il caso di donare un rene per comprarle e comunque non hanno certo il sapore della nostra frutta fresca di stagione. Avevo anche pensato di provarla con altri tipi di frutta ma arance, banane o mandarini non mi entusiasmavano troppo rispetto alla ricetta originale. Da provare senz'altro la prossima primavera!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soul-ingredienti&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;150gr di glassa bianca - 3 uova - 1 stecca di vaniglia - 2 fogli di gelatina - 250gr di panna non troppo montata - 0,5cl di Rum  - 0,5cl di Grand Marnier  - uva - una ciotola di fragole - menta fresca&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ammorbidite la gelatina in acqua fredda e sciogliete la glassa a bagnomaria. Separate poi il bianco di una delle tre uova. Montatelo a neve con un pizzico di sale assicurandovi che sia sufficientemente compatto da non fuoriuscire dalla ciotola capovolta. In una seconda ciotola montate la panna lasciandola un po’ lenta. Fate freddare entrambe in frigorifero. Fate sciogliere lentamente la glassa tagliata in piccole parti fino a renderla liquida. Estraete poi l’essenza dalla stecca di vaniglia recisa in due parti per lungo. Sbattete quindi le due uova ed il giallo restante assieme alla vaniglia e aiutandovi con del vapore rendetele spumose. Scaldate il Rum e il Grand Marnier in un pentolino e scioglietevi la gelatina ben strizzata. Procedete ad amalgamare la glassa e la gelatina sciolta con la spuma d’uova ancora calda. Rigirate e fate freddare. Aggiungete con molta cautela prima la panna e poi il bianco d’uovo montato al composto d’uovo liquoroso. Nel fare ciò abbiate cura di non alterare il volume e la spumosità. Versate tutto in un recipiente che lascerete freddare in frigorifero fino ad ottenere una densa spuma di Venere. Sciacquate e asciugate le fragole. Conservate 4-6 fragole che userete dopo come decorazione, mentre passate quelle restanti nel mixer e poi al setaccio. Arricchite la salsa di fragole con dello zucchero a velo e qualche goccia di Grand Marnier. Lavate ora l’uva e liberatela dai raspi, asciugate. Passiamo ora alla presentazione: prendete dei bicchieri da cocktail (Martini) o delle piccole ciotole di vetro. Adagiatevi uno o più chicchi d’uva (regolatevi in base alla grandezza del vetro). Aiutandovi con un sac à poche con il beccuccio a stella riempite i bicchieri coprendo delicatamente i chicchi d’uva con la spuma di Venere. Versate poi in superficie un po’ di salsa di fragole, decorate con le restanti fragole e della menta fresca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0N10IKS1mI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/eY1s8LLWP8g/s1600-h/SK_01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0N10IKS1mI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/eY1s8LLWP8g/s400/SK_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423307914688517730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0N1czmQT3I/AAAAAAAAB1I/2jtsmFg-6mM/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 15px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0N1czmQT3I/AAAAAAAAB1I/2jtsmFg-6mM/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423307514031656818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0N1gINv4HI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/yWeRvzknWnc/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 16px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0N1gINv4HI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/yWeRvzknWnc/s200/United+States.1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423307571105620082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Merry Venus' foam on a bed of "soul" grape&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;New year, new &lt;a href="http://http//www.facebook.com/pages/SOUL-KITCHEN/201488657992"&gt;Soul Kitchen&lt;/a&gt; recipe, even if we're almost at the end of these appointments, the movie is almost out now! This time we have a dessert recipe, a very original and tasty idea to serve fresh fruit. I couldnt' try it for you because strawberries and grapes are not seasonal, grape generally comes from South Africa now, strawberries are cultivated in a greenhouse and I don't feel like donate a kidney to buy them, too expensive. Plus, they don't have the same flavour of our fresh season fruit. I also thought about trying this with different fruit such as oranges, bananas or mandarins, but I didn't feel so enthusiastic with the idea of changing the original recipe. I will try it next spring!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Soul ingredients&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;150gr (0.65cup - 5.2oz) frosting - 3 eggs - 1 vanilla pod - 10 (0.4oz) gr jelly - 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8 oz) whipped cream - 0.5cl (0.17) rhum - 0.5cl (0.17) Grand Marnier - grape - a small bowl of strawberries - fresh mint&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soften jelly in cold water and slowly melt the frosting in a bain-marie or in the microwave. Separate the egg white from a yolk of one of the eggs. In a bowl, whisk it with a pinch of salt  until the egg white reach the stiff-peak stage. In another bowl whisk cream but not so firmly. Cool down both in the fridge. Extract the seeds from the vanilla pod, then beat the two eggs and the egg yolk together with the vanilla until foamy. Heat Rhum and Grand Marnier in a small pan, add jelly and melt it at low heat. Add this one to the egg foam, then mix it with the frosting. Stir well and cool down. Now pour in very slowly, the cream and then the egg white. While doing this, try not to alter its volume. Pour the whole lot into a bowl that you'll leave in the fridge for a while, till you'll obtain a thick foam. Clean and dry out strawberries but keep aside 4-6 strawberries, you'll use them as decoration. Place the remaining ones in a food processor and purée them, add few tsp of icing sugar and few drops of Grand Marnier. Clean and dry out grape. Now let's arrange the presentation: take some cocktail glasses (like Martini) or few small glass bowls. Place in each one, one or more grapes (depends from the size of your glass). With a sac à poche fill the glasses covering the grapes with the Venus' foam. Pour in the strawberry sauce, decorate with the remaining strawberries and with fresh mint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&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/31933112-9076271425406324282?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/9076271425406324282/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/01/festosa-schiuma-di-venere-su-di-un.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/9076271425406324282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/9076271425406324282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2010/01/festosa-schiuma-di-venere-su-di-un.html' title='Festosa schiuma di Venere su di un letto di &quot;soul&quot; uva'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S0N1-oY4-ZI/AAAAAAAAB1g/J0_ppgcFuGw/s72-c/SK_02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-8169207606858178576</id><published>2009-12-28T11:39:00.017+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-28T17:20:31.698+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Soul Kitchen recipes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Secondi - Main Courses'/><title type='text'>Prelibatezza d’agnellino da latte “meeeh” con ratatouille</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjaqNOT9VI/AAAAAAAAB0o/YqP6CLIpkqQ/s1600-h/Maiale+con+ratatouille.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 289px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420322570179442002" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjaqNOT9VI/AAAAAAAAB0o/YqP6CLIpkqQ/s400/Maiale+con+ratatouille.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;L'appuntamento settimanale con le ricette di Soul Kitchen prosegue con un altro piatto a base di agnello, che io ancora una volta ho preparato invece con la carne di maiale. Il sapore un pò selvatico dell'agnello non mi fa impazzire, ma devo dire che la marinata nella quale va fatta riposare la carne è davvero eccezionale e riuscirà senz'altro a mitigare quel sapore, quindi alla prima occasione proverò anch'io la versione originale. La ratatouille si sposa perfettamente con la carne marinata in questa maniera, quella che ho preparato io non è cotta al dente come richiede la ricetta, dato che a me i peperoni piacciono cotti, ma è solo il mio gusto personale. Da rifare spesso!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soul-ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjZROVkzTI/AAAAAAAAB0Y/gg0YdwFF9RU/s1600-h/SoulKitchen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 68px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420321041469984050" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjZROVkzTI/AAAAAAAAB0Y/gg0YdwFF9RU/s200/SoulKitchen.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12 costolette di agnellino - 100ml di aceto balsamico - 5 cucchiai da minestra di olio d’oliva - 1 limone - rosmarino - origano - timo - 1 spicchio d’aglio - 1 piccolo peperoncino - sale - pepe - 3 peperoni (rosso, verde, giallo) - 1 zucchina - ½ melanzana - 2 scalogni - 1 spicchio d’aglio - 3 pomodori - sale - pepe - olio d’oliva - timo - origano&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Lavate velocemente le costolette e tamponatele con della carta da cucina. Incidete con il coltello in più punti il margine di grasso e raschiate via con cura le ossa dalla carne.&lt;br /&gt;Per la marinata versate l’olio, l’aceto balsamico e il succo di limone in una scodella. Aggiungetevi gli odori lavati e sfilacciati grossolanamente. Schiacciate poi uno spicchio d’aglio sbucciato. Dividete a metà il peperoncino, privatelo dei semi e tritatelo finemente. Mischiate bene aggiungendo pepe e sale. Mettete le costolette in una padella e ricopritele con la marinata. Lasciate riposare il tutto ricoperto per circa 3-4 ore in frigorifero, preoccupandovi di voltare più volte le costolette. Scolate le costolette e rosolatele in una padella con dell’olio caldo oppure sulla griglia tenendole dai 3 ai 5 minuti per lato. Infine aggiustate di sale e pepe. Dopo averla cotta, lasciate riposare ancora un po’ la carne.&lt;br /&gt;Per la ratatouille mondate la verdura e tagliatele in pezzi d’uguale grandezza. Sbucciate gli scalogni e l’aglio e tritate finemente. Pelate e private i pomodori dei semi per poi tagliarli a loro volta. Fate appassire a fuoco dolce gli scalogni e l’aglio e aggiungeteci a mano a mano i peperoni, le zucchine e le melanzane. Insaporite con il timo, l’origano, il sale e il pepe, lasciando cuocere e accertandovi che le verdure mantengano la cottura al dente. Infine aggiungete i pomodori e fate terminare brevemente la cottura girando bene. Disponete sul fondo del piatto la ratatouille e adagiatevi sopra tre costolette per porzione. Decorate con del rosmarino fresco.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 228px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420320499639309282" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjYxr3E0-I/AAAAAAAAB0I/zMpto8qTY78/s400/SoulKitchenFoto4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjYdRPzXtI/AAAAAAAAB0A/XDRAvNyf37c/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420320148897881810" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjYdRPzXtI/AAAAAAAAB0A/XDRAvNyf37c/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjYUMzMOEI/AAAAAAAABz4/WlSSscV2x98/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420319993085311042" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjYUMzMOEI/AAAAAAAABz4/WlSSscV2x98/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Delicacy of "meeeh" lamb with ratatouille&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Our weekly appointment with Soul Kitchen recipes continues with another dish containing lamb, which I, once again, prepared with pork. That taste of wild of the lamb, well, I don't love it so much, but I must admit that the marinade where you leave the meat to rest is simply outstanding, so it will surely make that meat milder and I promise I'll try it next time. The ratatouille gets along perfectly well with the meat marinated this way, my version is not cooked "al dente" because I like peppers well cooked, but this just my personal taste. Do-it-often-recipe!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soul-ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12 lamb chops - 100ml (3.5oz) aromatic vinegar - 5tbs olive oil - 1 lemon - rosemary - oregano - thyme - 1 garlic clove - 1 chili pepper - salt - pepper - 3 peppers ( red, green, yellow) - 1 courgette/zucchini - ½ aubergine/eggplant - 2 shallots - 1 garlic clove - 3 tomatoes - salt pepper - olive oil - thyme - oregano&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Quickly clean lamb chops and dry them with paper towel. With a sharp knife cut the lamb chops onto the grease parts and scratch out the bones from the meat. For the marinade, pur in a bowl vinegar, oil and lemon juice, then add rosemary, thyme, oregano, squashed garlic, chili pepper cut into small pieces (without the seeds), salt and pepper. Mix well, and drawn lamb chops into it. Leave in the fridge for 3-4 hours and turn chops frequently. Drain the meat and cook it in a saucepan with hot olive oil for 3-4 minutes per side. Add salt and pepper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;For the ratatouille, clean and cut vegetables in pieces of the same size. Clean shallots and chop them together with garlic. Peel and take out seeds from tomatoes, then chop them too. In a saucepan, cook at low heat shallots with garlic, then add peppers, zucchini and eggplants. Dress with thyme, oregano, salt and pepper cooking vegetables "al dente". Finally add tomatoes and finish cooking stirring often. Place ratatouille on a plate and place on topo of it three lamb chops per portion. Garnish with fresh rosemary.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-8169207606858178576?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/8169207606858178576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/prelibatezza-dagnellino-da-latte-meeeh.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8169207606858178576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8169207606858178576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/prelibatezza-dagnellino-da-latte-meeeh.html' title='Prelibatezza d’agnellino da latte “meeeh” con ratatouille'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzjaqNOT9VI/AAAAAAAAB0o/YqP6CLIpkqQ/s72-c/Maiale+con+ratatouille.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-3946515205314989975</id><published>2009-12-23T18:40:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-23T18:43:31.838+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Natale!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzI5w3ikkFI/AAAAAAAABzw/nCcY3BsbSXI/s1600-h/Panpepato_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418456813385584722" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzI5w3ikkFI/AAAAAAAABzw/nCcY3BsbSXI/s400/Panpepato_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;E' arrivato Natale, e un anno sta per volgere al termine. Un altro anno passato a pasticciare, sperimentare e a divertirsi - almeno per me - ai fornelli. Per queste feste vi ho proposto una nuova ricetta, quella dei &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/i-miei-biscotti-natalizi.html"&gt;miei biscotti natalizi&lt;/a&gt;: speziati e burrosi, possono anche essere regalati a parenti ed amici. Un'altra tipica ricetta natalizia dell'Italia centrale è invece il Panpepato, io le preparo tutti gli anni e lo regalo regolarmente. Se avete voglia di provarlo durante queste feste, trovate la ricetta &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2006/12/panpepato.html"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Intanto, auguro a tutti un sereno Natale, spero lo passiate con le persone a voi care. Mi raccomando! Non mangiate troppo... ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Christmas has arrived, and a year is going to end. Another year spent experimenting, cooking and having fun in the kitchen. For these holidays I've posted one new recipe, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/i-miei-biscotti-natalizi.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;my Christmas cookies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; one: spicy and buttery, they can be made for relatives and friends. Another typical central Italy festive recipe is the Panpepato, I prepare it each year and give it as a gift. If you'd like to bake it during these holidays, you find &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2006/12/panpepato.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;here&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; the recipe.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For now, I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, may you spend it with your loving ones. Pretty please! Don't eat too much... ;-)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3946515205314989975?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3946515205314989975/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/natale.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3946515205314989975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3946515205314989975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/natale.html' title='Natale!'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzI5w3ikkFI/AAAAAAAABzw/nCcY3BsbSXI/s72-c/Panpepato_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-6946365574524404748</id><published>2009-12-22T19:02:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T19:06:04.584+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Soul Kitchen recipes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Primi piatti - Starters'/><title type='text'>Fagottini dello “spaccaossa” con salsa allo yogurt</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzEJSMPzAxI/AAAAAAAABzo/vHIQt_Pt4_Q/s1600-h/SoulKitchen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 137px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418122034833195794" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzEJSMPzAxI/AAAAAAAABzo/vHIQt_Pt4_Q/s400/SoulKitchen.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Siamo arrivati ancora una volta all'appuntamento settimanale con le ricette di Soul Kitchen. Questa volta dei fagottini con ripieno di carne d'agnello che possono essere serviti come primo piatto o anche come piatto unico, dato che sono molto sostanziosi e riempiono non poco. Se non vi piace l'agnello ma volete provare la ricetta, potete usare della carne di maiale, come ho fatto io. Per la foto vi rimando alle splendide immagini di &lt;a href="http://www.fiordisale.it/2009/12/21/ciak-in-cucina-a-tempo-di-soul-terza-puntata/"&gt;Fiordisale&lt;/a&gt;, uno dei bloggers coinvolti nell'iniziativa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soul-ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per l’impasto&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;400gr di farina - 1 uovo - ca. 200ml di acqua - 1 cucchiaino da tè di sale - Farina per la lavorazione&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per il ripieno&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;150gr di macinato magro di agnello - 1 cipolla - 1 mazzetto di prezzemolo - pepe nero macinato - 1 cucchiaino da tè di paprika dolce - una manciata di cumino stellato - 1 cucchiaino da tè di sale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per la salsa:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;375gr di yogurt greco - 2 spicchi d’aglio senza buccia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Extra:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;80gr di burro - 1 cucchiaino da tè di paprika piccante - Menta fresca per decorare &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Impasto: setacciate la farina e mischiatela con il sale, l’uovo e l’acqua. Lavorate l’impasto fino ad ottenere un composto uniforme e solido. Ricoprite l’impasto e fate riposare per 20 minuti. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ripieno: mettete la carne macinata in una ciotola. Insieme grattugiatevi finemente la cipolla. Lavate il prezzemolo, asciugatelo e tagliatene finemente le foglie. Aggiungete alla carne il prezzemolo, la paprika dolce, il cumino, il sale, il pepe macinato e impastate con cura. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Salsa: versate lo yogurt in una scodella. Aggiungete l’aglio spremuto, amalgamate con la frusta fino a rendere lo yogurt cremoso. Fate raffreddare la salsa in frigorifero.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dividete l’impasto in quattro parti. Su di un ripiano che avrete infarinato in precedenza stendete la pasta fino ad ottenere una sfoglia molto sottile che taglierete in quadrati di quattro centimetri di lato. Su ogni quadrato di pasta ponete un cucchiaino da tè del ripieno. Pressate i quattro angoli della sfoglia ed anche i bordi così da formare dei fagottini ben sigillati. In una pentola capiente scaldate acqua a sufficienza salandola con un cucchiaio da minestra di sale. Fate quindi bollire i fagottini a fuoco moderato e senza coperchio per 4-5 minuti. Scolate con attenzione aiutandovi con un setaccio.&lt;br /&gt;Sciogliete il burro in pentolino aggiungendovi la polvere di paprika. Servite i fagottini in piatti fondi, versatevi sopra un po’ della salsa allo yogurt, qualche goccia di burro alla paprika e decorate con della menta fresca. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418121791250660290" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzEJEA1Me8I/AAAAAAAABzg/anE_baKT66k/s400/SoulKitchenFoto1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzEGo5iMQlI/AAAAAAAABzY/V78InMR-f5Y/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418119126412182098" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzEGo5iMQlI/AAAAAAAABzY/V78InMR-f5Y/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzEGY2fP4ZI/AAAAAAAABzQ/yN84-vVdItg/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418118850716623250" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzEGY2fP4ZI/AAAAAAAABzQ/yN84-vVdItg/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"Bone-breaker's" dumplings with yogurt sauce&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;We've arrived once again at our weekly Soul Kitchen recipe. This time we have dumplings with a lamb meat filling, that you can serve as a starter or even as an all-in-one course, as they are very rich and fulfilling. If you don't like lamb but you'd like to try the recipe, you can use pork meat, just as I did. For the pictures, I suggest you to take a look at the wonderful ones from &lt;a href="http://www.fiordisale.it/2009/12/21/ciak-in-cucina-a-tempo-di-soul-terza-puntata/"&gt;Fiordisale&lt;/a&gt;, one of the bloggers involved in this initiative.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soul-ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the dough&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;400gr (1.75cup - 14oz) flour -1 egg - 200ml (7oz) water - 1tsp salt - more flour as needed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the filling&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) minced lamb meat - 1 onion - a bunch of parsley - black pepper - 1tsp sweet paprika - a handful of cumin - 1tsp salt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the sauce&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;375gr (1.7 cup - 13.6oz)greek yogurt - 2 garlic cloves&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Extra&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;80gr (0.35cup - 2.8oz) butter - 1tsp spicy paprika - fresh mint to garnish&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dough: mix flour with salt, egg and water. Knead till you obtain a firm, smooth dough. Cover it with a cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Filling: place meat in a bowl. Add chopped onion and parsley, sweet paprika, cumin, salt, ground pepper an mix well.&lt;br /&gt;Sauce: pour yogurt into a bowl. Add squeezed garlic and stir well with a whisk till the yogurt will be very smooth. Cool down the sauce in the fridge.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Divide the dough into four parts. On a floured surface roll out the dough till you get a very thin sheet of pastry and cut out squares 4cm (1.5inch) long. On each square place 1tsp filling, then press togheter four angles and borders of the pastry in order to form dumplings well sealed. Now in a large pot, bring to boil salted water and boil the dumplings at medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Drain them very carefully. In a saucepan melt butter and add paprika. Serve the dumplings with yogurt sauce and some paprika butter. Garnish with fresh mint.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-6946365574524404748?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/6946365574524404748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/fagottini-dello-spaccaossa-con-salsa.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6946365574524404748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6946365574524404748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/fagottini-dello-spaccaossa-con-salsa.html' title='Fagottini dello “spaccaossa” con salsa allo yogurt'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SzEJSMPzAxI/AAAAAAAABzo/vHIQt_Pt4_Q/s72-c/SoulKitchen.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-3917904383346368642</id><published>2009-12-18T10:30:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-18T10:44:41.220+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biscotti - Biscuits'/><title type='text'>I miei biscotti natalizi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Syp4XV2w9tI/AAAAAAAABzI/LCfN1I2Z5K8/s1600-h/Biscottini+natalizi%2301.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416273844265613010" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Syp4XV2w9tI/AAAAAAAABzI/LCfN1I2Z5K8/s400/Biscottini+natalizi%2301.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Eccola, finalmente ho definito la ricetta perfetta per i biscotti natalizi. &lt;em&gt;I miei biscotti,&lt;/em&gt; perché a me piacciono burrosi e molto, molto speziati, con tanto zenzero e cannella... ovviamente! L'impasto è molto morbido, quindi va fatto riposare in frigorifero per qualche ora o addirittura preparato il giorno prima, poi si stende un pò alla volta e si ritagliano i biscotti con le formine che si preferiscono.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;300gr di farina - 150gr di zucchero a velo - 120gr di mandorle tritate - 200gr di burro - 2 uova - 1 cucchiaino e ½ di cannella in polvere - 1 cucchiaino e ½ di zenzero in polvere - 1 cucchiaino di noce moscata in polvere&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Mescolare assieme la farina, lo zucchero, le spezie e le mandorle. Aggiungere le uova e il burro freddo tagliato a dadini e amalgamere bene gli ingredienti (usando un robot da cucina si farà più in fretta). Formare con l'impasto un cilindro, avvolgerlo nella pellicola e conservare in frigo per almeno tre ore o tutta la notte. Prelevare l'impasto dal frigo, tagliarne via una piccola quantità e stenderla col mattarello su di una superficie infarinata. Ritagliare i biscotti con gli stampi preferiti ed adagiarli su di una teglia rivestita di carta forno, continuando fino ad esaurimento dell'impasto. Cuocere i biscotti in forno caldo a 170° C per 10 minuti. Far raffreddare 5 minuti prima di trasferirli su di una gratella e conservarli poi in una scatola di latta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416273763929336914" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Syp4SqlGrFI/AAAAAAAABzA/SpXgFCk9CIw/s400/Biscottini+natalizi%2302.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Syp4D0npNuI/AAAAAAAABy4/FfnqRZqwzUE/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416273508926306018" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Syp4D0npNuI/AAAAAAAABy4/FfnqRZqwzUE/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Syp3_4sufqI/AAAAAAAAByw/PHuiTMCRh50/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416273441301888674" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Syp3_4sufqI/AAAAAAAAByw/PHuiTMCRh50/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;My Christmas cookies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Here it is, I've finally defined the perfect recipe for Christmas cookies. My cookies, as I like them buttery and very, very spicy, with a lot of ginger and cinnamon in it! The dough is quite soft, so you'll need to place it in the fridge for few hours or even prepare it the day before, then roll it a little at a time and cut it with your favourite cookie-cutters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;300gr (1.3cup - 10.5oz) flour - 150gr (0.7cup-5.3oz) icing sugar - 120gr (0.52cup-4.2oz) ground almonds - 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) butter - 2 eggs - 1½tsp ginger powder - 1½tsp cinnamon powder - 1tsp nutmeg powder&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mix together flour, sugar, spices and almonds. Add eggs and cold butter diced, mixing well (you can use a food processor too). Form with the dough a cylinder, place it in a polythene bag and leave it in the fridge for 3 hours to rest or even overnight. After this time, take out the dough, take a small quantity and roll it out on a floured surface. Now, using your favourite cookie cutters, cut out the cookies. Place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment and bake in the oven at 170° C for 10 minutes. Cool them for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack then keep them in a tin box.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3917904383346368642?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3917904383346368642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/i-miei-biscotti-natalizi.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3917904383346368642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3917904383346368642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/i-miei-biscotti-natalizi.html' title='I miei biscotti natalizi'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Syp4XV2w9tI/AAAAAAAABzI/LCfN1I2Z5K8/s72-c/Biscottini+natalizi%2301.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-8307255136354891579</id><published>2009-12-15T16:10:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-15T16:21:59.977+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Soul Kitchen recipes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Secondi - Main Courses'/><title type='text'>Sardine fritte “dell’agente immobiliare” su letto di lattuga romana</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SyemeVRGISI/AAAAAAAAByk/xsZuwOty2FQ/s1600-h/SoulKitchen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 137px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415480116971446562" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SyemeVRGISI/AAAAAAAAByk/xsZuwOty2FQ/s400/SoulKitchen.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Eccoci al secondo appuntamento con le ricette del film Soul Kitchen. Avevo promesso che avrei provato anch'io con voi le "soul-ricette" ma devo proprio confessare che non amo molto le sardine. Come avrete forse notato, di ricette di pesce su questo blog non ce ne sono quasi, sia perché mi piace poco, sia perché le poche cose che mi piacciono le cucino in modo semplicissimo e poco fantasioso. ;-) Se volete altre informazioni sul film visitate la &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=soul+kitchen&amp;amp;init=quick#/SoulKitchenFilm?v=wall&amp;amp;ref=search"&gt;pagina ufficiale di Facebook&lt;/a&gt; e guardatevi il trailer qui di seguito.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soul-ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1kg di sardine fresche - 100gr di farina di mais fina - 1 cucchiaino da tè di Pul Biber (fiocchi di paprika macinati grossolanamente)- sale - succo di un limone - olio di mais per friggere - 2 cespi di lattuga romana - un ciuffo di prezzemolo - 3 porri - 2 scalogni - 2 piccoli lime - 3 cucchiai da minestra d’olio d’oliva&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Desquamate (se necessario) le sardine e sciacquatele in acqua fredda. Asportate ad ogni pesciolino la testa e praticate un’incisione all’altezza della pancia per ripulire le interiora. Lasciate i pesci per circa un’ora sotto acqua corrente fredda. Asciugateli poi su carta da cucina, salate e versatevi sopra alcune gocce di succo di limone. Spianate su di un piatto la farina di mais, un po’ di sale ed il Pul Biber. Scaldate olio di mais a sufficienza in una padella. Impanate con cautela i pesci e friggeteli dorati da entrambi i lati. Assorbite l’unto in eccesso con della carta da cucina. Lavate i cespi d’insalata in acqua fredda. Scolate le foglie e tagliatele in piccoli pezzi. Fate lo stesso con il prezzemolo. Sbucciate lo scalogno e tagliatelo ad anelli sottili insieme al porro. Mischiate tutti gli ingredienti in un’insalatiera. Condite poi con olio d’oliva ed il succo dei lime. Servite le sardine in un vassoio assieme all’insalata e decorate con il prezzemolo e qualche spicchio di limone.

As some of you had already noticed, there aren't fish recipes in this blog: I like only few things with fish and the few that I like I prepare it in a quite simple and not very creative way. ;-) If you want more information about the movie you can take a look at the official &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=soul+kitchen&amp;amp;init=quick#/SoulKitchenFilm?v=wall&amp;amp;ref=search"&gt;Facebook page&lt;/a&gt; and watch the trailer!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soul-ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1kg (35oz) fresh sardines - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) maize flour - 1tsp Pul Biber (ground paprika flakes) - salt - juice of 1 lemon - maize oil to fry - 2 heads of lettuce - a bunch of parsley - 3 leeks - 2 shallots - 2 small limes - 3tbs olive oil.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Flake off (if necessary) sardines e rinse them with cold water. Take the heads off, cut each fish on the belly and clean all from the guts. Leave sardines under cold water for about an hour. Dry them out with paper towels, ad salt and some lemon juice. Place maize flour, salt and Pul Biber on a plate and bread each sardine. Heat maze oil in a frying pan and fry the fish on each side. When done, lay it on paper towel in order to dry out the exceeding oil. Now clean lettuce with fresh water, rinse each leaf and cut it into small pieces. Do the same with parsley. Clean and cut shallots and leeks into small rings. Mix all ingredients into a bowl. Dress with olive oil and lime juice. Serve sardines on a tray together with salad, decorate with parsley and few lemon segments. Serve with bread.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-8307255136354891579?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/8307255136354891579/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/sardine-fritte-dellagente-immobiliare.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8307255136354891579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8307255136354891579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/sardine-fritte-dellagente-immobiliare.html' title='Sardine fritte “dell’agente immobiliare” su letto di lattuga romana'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SyemeVRGISI/AAAAAAAAByk/xsZuwOty2FQ/s72-c/SoulKitchen.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-576749574995579509</id><published>2009-12-08T18:35:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-08T18:48:34.808+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Soul Kitchen recipes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Primi piatti - Starters'/><title type='text'>Zuppa del maestro dell'agopuntura</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 280px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412921743709142290" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sx6PpaLFfRI/AAAAAAAAByE/nlWwqPtI6ag/s400/locandina.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Parte da questa settimana, fino all'inizio di gennaio, una sorta di rubrica dedicata alle ricette originali del film Soul Kitchen. Dall’8 gennaio sarà nelle sale cinematografiche &lt;a href="http://www.comingsoon.it/scheda_film.asp?key=47509&amp;amp;film=Soul-Kitchen"&gt;Soul Kitchen&lt;/a&gt;, il film che ha vinto la menzione speciale al Festival di Venezia e che rivoluzionerà completamente l’idea della cucina così come il grande schermo è solito presentarcela. La pellicola, infatti, tramite la storia del greco-tedesco Zinos, proprietario del locale Soul Kitchen, racconta come può un ristorante essere ben più di un posto in cui sfamarsi e di come una ricetta possa parlare al cuore e trasformare semplici ingredienti in un trionfo di gusto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Alcune di queste ricette saranno realizzate da me personalmente, corredate di fotografie. Per questa zuppa purtroppo ero proprio fuori tempo massimo quindi per questa volta, usate l'immaginazione! ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Minestra di rape rosse con gnocchetti di tofu)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soul-ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per la minestra&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;90gr di burro -30gr di scalogno -250gr di rape rosse -6dl di brodo chiarificato di pollo o vegetale -1dl di panna - succo di mezzo limone - sale - pepe - noce moscata - zucchero&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per gli gnocchetti&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;130gr di tofu - 35gr di burro - 45gr di pane bianco grattugiato -3 rossi d’uovo - sale - pepe - limone - erba cipollina fresca per “agopunturizzare” gli gnocchetti&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Grattugiate il tofu. Mescolate il burro ed il rosso d’uovo fino ad ottenere una spuma. Aggiungete il pane bianco e amalgamate il tofu. Condite con sale, pepe e limone. Mettete in freddo. Tritate finemente lo scalogno. Lessate le rape rosse pelate e tagliate in piccoli pezzi.In un pentolino portate ad ebollizione dell’acqua leggermente salata.&lt;br /&gt;Scaldate in una pentola 50gr di burro per poi soffriggere dolcemente lo scalogno. Aggiungete le rape rosse, fate soffriggere brevemente e stemperate infine versando il brodo nella pentola. Lasciate cuocere per tre minuti. Con le mani impastate dei piccoli gnocchetti di tofu che farete cuocere nell’acqua per 5 minuti. Tagliate l’erba cipollina uniformemente, in “aghi d’agopuntura” delle dimensioni di un fiammifero.Frullate la zuppa, aggiungetevi la panna, lasciate poi riposare vicino al fornello. Una volta cotti gli gnocchetti, “agopunturizzateli” con gli steli d’erba cipollina. Riportate brevemente ad ebollizione la zuppa e, aggiungendo un po’ di burro, rendetela spumosa mescolando. Servite in un piatto tenuto caldo, adagiando con attenzione nella zuppa gli gnocchetti “agopunturizzati”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 228px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412923289056608530" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sx6RDXCogRI/AAAAAAAAByM/0ax46bJ6pw0/s400/sk.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sx6PV8DfpEI/AAAAAAAABx0/YkXXzDNv8Lw/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412921409206723650" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sx6PV8DfpEI/AAAAAAAABx0/YkXXzDNv8Lw/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sx6PY8s4ScI/AAAAAAAABx8/sCBxfFZ6LH4/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412921460919912898" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sx6PY8s4ScI/AAAAAAAABx8/sCBxfFZ6LH4/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;Acupuncture's master soup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting from this week, till the beginning of January, I'll dedicate a sort of editorial to the original recipes of &lt;a href="http://www.comingsoon.it/scheda_film.asp?key=47509&amp;amp;film=Soul-Kitchen"&gt;Soul Kitchen&lt;/a&gt; movie. From January 8th, here in Italy, will be out in theatres Soul Kitchen, a movie that won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival and which is going to revolutionize the idea of cooking normally showed by cinema. The movie, through the story of Zinos, Soul Kitchen restaurant owner, tells us how a restaurant can be more than a place where to satisfy one's hunger and how a recipe can talk to the heart and transform simple ingredients into a triumph of taste.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Some of these recipes will be also prepared and photographed by myself. Unfortunately I was out of time for this soup, so you should use your imagination this time! ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Red turnip soup with tofu small gnocchi)&lt;br /&gt;Soul- ingredients&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the soup&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;90gr butter (0.39cup - 3.17oz) - 30gr (0.12cup - 1oz) green onion -250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) red turnip -6dl (20oz) chicken or clear broth -1dl (3.4oz) cream - juice of half lemon -salt - pepper - nutmeg -sugar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the gnocchi&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;130gr (0.57cup - 4.6oz) tofu - 35gr (0.15cup - 1.2 oz) butter - 45gr (0.2cup - 1.5oz) white bread crmbs -3 egg yolks - salt - pepper - lemon - fresh chives to "acupuncture" the gnocchi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Grate tofu. Mix butter and egg yolks until creamy. Pour in bread and tofu. Season with salt, pepper, lemon and cool down. Now mince green onion, peel and chop red turnips and boil them. In a small pan bring to boil some water, salted. Heat in another pan 50gr (1.8oz) butter and gently fry green onion. Add the turnipes, cook for few minutes and then add broth. Cook for three minutes. Take the dough and form with it small gnocchi that you'll cook in the boiling water for 5 minutes. Cut chive into "acupuncture needles" big as a match.&lt;br /&gt;Now reduce to cream the soup, add cream and set aside. When the gnocchi are done "acupuncture" them with chive stems, bring to boil the soup again, and add some butter. Serve it in hot plates, laying carefully the acupuncterd gnocchi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-576749574995579509?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/576749574995579509/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/zuppa-del-maestro-dellagopuntura_08.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/576749574995579509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/576749574995579509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/12/zuppa-del-maestro-dellagopuntura_08.html' title='Zuppa del maestro dell&apos;agopuntura'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sx6PpaLFfRI/AAAAAAAAByE/nlWwqPtI6ag/s72-c/locandina.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-2318509376518431540</id><published>2009-11-27T17:31:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-07-10T12:14:58.540+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Nutella muffin</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sw_9aX-qrkI/AAAAAAAABwk/HN5MfQ3MDTo/s1600/Nutella+muffin_01_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408820307050540610" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sw_9aX-qrkI/AAAAAAAABwk/HN5MfQ3MDTo/s400/Nutella+muffin_01_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Chi mi legge abitualmente sa che ogni due o tre ricette ne trova una di muffin, quindi non è una grossa sorpresa che io ne abbia pubblicata un'altra, ma questi sono tra i migliori muffin mai fatti. E' da una settimana che ho voglia di Nutella, ma non solo della crema, di qualcosa di dolce con la Nutella, non potevo quindi non provarla anche con questi dolcetti. Se l'amate, la Nutella, non potete non adorare anche questi, sofficissimi anche il giorno dopo e troppo golosi con un cuore morbido e nutelloso!&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 14 muffin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farina - 120gr di zucchero - 120gr di burro morbido - 2 uova - 2 cucchiaini e mezzo di lievito per dolci - 150gr di latte - 250gr di nutella + 1 cucchiaino per ogni muffin&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In una ciotola mescolare assieme farina, zucchero e lievito. In un'altra ciotola sbattere il burro con le uova, aggiungere la nutella, versarvi quindi la miscela di farina e zucchero e per ultimo il latte, mescolando velocemente. Versare l'impasto in uno stampo per muffin, imburrato o rivestito dai pirottini di carta, quindi in ogni muffin versare al centro un cucchiaino abbondante di Nutella avendo cura di "farlo affondare" un poco.

If you love Nutella, you'll adore these ones, super spongy even the day after and with a tasty "nutellish" heart!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 14&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) flour - 120gr (0.52cup-4.2oz) sugar - 120gr (0.52cup-4.2oz) butter, softened - 2 eggs - 2tsp baking powder - 150gr (0.7cup-5.3oz) milk - 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) Nutella + 1tsp for each muffin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mix together flour, sugar and baking powder. In another bowl whisk butter with eggs, add Nutella, the flour mixture and finally milk. If you are using muffin cases, arrange them in the tins and spoon the mixture into them; alternatively, spoon the mixture straight into the greased tins. Place in each muffin a teaspoon (be generous!) of Nutella, and "push it" a little towards the centre. Bake at 180°C (350F - gas mark 4) for 20 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foodista.com/food/376ZKRDK/muffin" style="display: block; width: 200px; border: 5px solid #fff; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; background-color: #BDBDBD; text-align: left; overflow: hidden; color: white; font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; padding: 4px; text-indent: 0;" title="Muffin on Foodista"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cf.foodista.com/static/images/widget_logo.png" alt="Muffin on Foodista" style="float: right; border: none; width: 70px; height: 25px; padding: 0; margin: 0;" /&gt;Muffin&lt;img src="http://dyn.foodista.com/content/embed/z1.png?foodista_widget_376ZKRDK_AAAAAAAA" style="display: none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-2318509376518431540?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/2318509376518431540/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/nutella-muffin.html#comment-form' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/2318509376518431540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/2318509376518431540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/nutella-muffin.html' title='Nutella muffin'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sw_9aX-qrkI/AAAAAAAABwk/HN5MfQ3MDTo/s72-c/Nutella+muffin_01_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-582982207339012726</id><published>2009-11-18T10:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T10:08:28.788+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torte - Cakes'/><title type='text'>Torta di grano saraceno</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO06cMDyNI/AAAAAAAABus/OmEAm_5V0jk/s1600/Torta+grano+saraceno_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405362893866911954" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO06cMDyNI/AAAAAAAABus/OmEAm_5V0jk/s400/Torta+grano+saraceno_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Questa volta non è opera mia. O meglio, questa volta sono stata una mera esecutrice, perché la ricetta è di &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/cristinami"&gt;Cristina&lt;/a&gt;. La torta di grano saraceno (Schwarzplententorte) viene preparata dalla Lüneburger Heide (Bassa Sassonia, Germania) fino all'Alto Adige, è una torta molto sostanziosa dove ogni ingrediente ha lo stesso peso, ed è l'ideale per una merenda o come completamento di un pasto un pò rustico. La mia è venuta un pò bruttina, si è gonfiata al centro e l'ho anche tagliata male ma il sapore ha fatto dimenticare il suo aspetto. Normalmente viene servita con panna montata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farina di grano saraceno - 250gr di burro morbido - 250gr di zucchero semolato - 250g di mandorle senza pellicina, tritate finemente - 6 uova - qualche cucchiaio di latte - 400gr di marmellata di mirtillo rosso - zucchero al velo q.b.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Montare a crema il burro con lo zucchero, quindi aggiungere i tuorli d'uovo uno alla volta, continuando a montare. Aggiungere gradatamente le mandorle, la farina e il latte. Montare gli albumi a neve fermissima e incorporarli delicatamente all'impasto. Imburrare una tortiera a cerchio di 26cm di diametro, versarvi l'impasto e infornare a 170° per circa 45-50 minuti. Sfornare e lasciar raffreddare la torta. Rovesciarla su un piatto a testa in giù e con un coltello tagliarla a metà longitudinalmente. Trasferire la parte di sotto su di una altro piatto, farcirla con la marmellata di mirtilli rossi e riassemblare la torta premendo leggermente lo strato superiore. Cospargere di zucchero a velo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO0hNG2nFI/AAAAAAAABuc/6AEZt7AvBWk/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405362460321815634" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO0hNG2nFI/AAAAAAAABuc/6AEZt7AvBWk/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO0l4MCVWI/AAAAAAAABuk/MDBonM4kETI/s1600/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405362540605756770" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO0l4MCVWI/AAAAAAAABuk/MDBonM4kETI/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Buckwheat cake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This time it's not my work. This time I'm just a simple executor, because the recipe is from &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/cristinami"&gt;Cristina&lt;/a&gt;. The buckwheat cake (Schwarzplententorte) is prepared from Lüneburger Heide (Low Saxony, Germany) to Alto Adige, it's a very nourishing cake where each ingredient has the same weight and it's perfect for tea time, an afternoon snack or as a dessert after a simple and genuine meal. My cake this time is not so nice, it rised too much in the centre and I didn't cut it properly, but its taste made me forget its look. It is normally served with whipping cream. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) buckwheat flour - 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) butter, softened - 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) sugar - 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) ground almonds -6 eggs - milk, few tbs  - 400gr (1.75cup - 14oz) cranberry jam - icing sugar as needed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then add egg yolks one at a time. Add almonds, buckwheat flour and milk, stirring. In a bowl whisk the egg whites to the stiff peak stage and pour into the mixture, delicately. Now grease a round tin of 26cm (10inch) diameter, spread the cake mixture evenly in the cake tin, then bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 45-50 minutes at 170° C (325°F, gas mark 3). Cool down and remove the cake from the tin. Now, using a bread knife, cut it into two slices lengthways then place the bottom slice right way up on a serving plate. Spread this slice with the cranberry jam and re-assemble the cake, pressing the top layer down lightly. Dust with icing sugar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-582982207339012726?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/582982207339012726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/torta-di-grano-saraceno.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/582982207339012726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/582982207339012726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/torta-di-grano-saraceno.html' title='Torta di grano saraceno'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO06cMDyNI/AAAAAAAABus/OmEAm_5V0jk/s72-c/Torta+grano+saraceno_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-774652863501926322</id><published>2009-11-11T18:15:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-11T18:18:44.463+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Secondi - Main Courses'/><title type='text'>Pollo al latte e zafferano</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrwL5Ts1zI/AAAAAAAABuE/AoJqFAqMgXI/s1600-h/Pollo+latte+e+zafferano_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402894790137009970" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrwL5Ts1zI/AAAAAAAABuE/AoJqFAqMgXI/s400/Pollo+latte+e+zafferano_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Una sera per cena avevo da cucinare dei petti di pollo, volevo fare qualcosa di diverso dal solito senza perderci troppo tempo. E' così che è nato questo piatto, uno degli esperimenti più riusciti nella sezione "qualcosa di veramente buono in dieci minuti" ;-) . Il latte rende il pollo tenerissimo e lo zafferano gli dà quel tocco in più. Provare per credere.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 4 persone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 500gr di petti di pollo - un cucchiaio di burro - 1 bustina di zafferano in polvere - 1 bicchiere di latte - 1 cucchiaio scarso di Worcestershire sauce - farina q.b. - sale - pepe. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tagliare a pezzi i petti di pollo e pestarli con il pestacarne. In un piatto versare un pò di farina, adagiarvi i petti di pollo, salare, pepare ed infarinarli per bene. Far sciogliere il burro in una larga padella e, appena inizia a sfrigolare cuocere i petti di pollo a fuoco vivace. Girarli, quindi spruzzarvi la Worcestershire sauce. Sciogliere lo zafferano nel latte intiepidito e versarlo sui petti di pollo. Terminare la cottura a fuoco alto e far rapprendere un poco la salsa. Servire subito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrvvlEq9aI/AAAAAAAABt0/9oOsAVlsGsY/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402894303668925858" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrvvlEq9aI/AAAAAAAABt0/9oOsAVlsGsY/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Svrv1px6GZI/AAAAAAAABt8/nXkjNxpiuJY/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402894408011618706" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Svrv1px6GZI/AAAAAAAABt8/nXkjNxpiuJY/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Milk and saffron chicken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I once had to cook for dinner some chicken breasts, I wanted to make something different without loosing too much time. That's how this dish was born, one of the best experiments in the section "something really good in ten minutes" ;-) . Milk makes chicken very tender and saffron gives it that final touch. Give it a try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Serves 4&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 500gr (2.2cup - 17.6oz) chicken breasts - 1 tbs butter - ½tsp saffron - 1cup milk - ¾tbs Worcestershire sauce - flour - salt - pepper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut chicken breasts into pieces and beat them with a meat pounder. Put some flour, seasoned with salt and pepper, on to a plate then dip the chicken. Warm up milk, pour in saffron and set aside. Now place a frying pan on medium heat and melt butter, when starts frying add chicken and start cooking, about 1 minute on each side. When you've done this, add Worcestershire sauce, then milk. Keep cooking at high heat for 2 minutes or until the sauce is glossy. Serve immediately.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-774652863501926322?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/774652863501926322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/pollo-al-latte-e-zafferano.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/774652863501926322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/774652863501926322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/pollo-al-latte-e-zafferano.html' title='Pollo al latte e zafferano'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrwL5Ts1zI/AAAAAAAABuE/AoJqFAqMgXI/s72-c/Pollo+latte+e+zafferano_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-5903464858458815773</id><published>2009-11-06T17:20:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T17:38:18.203+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi - Events'/><title type='text'>La spaghettata Voiello</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvRMzTrT0eI/AAAAAAAABts/ua0M59FqeYs/s1600-h/4077578444_ed703f6ba1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401026297463034338" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvRMzTrT0eI/AAAAAAAABts/ua0M59FqeYs/s400/4077578444_ed703f6ba1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mercoledì 4 novembre si è svolta a Milano la prima &lt;a href="http://blog.voiello.it/iniziative-voiello/la-spaghettata-voiello-a-milano-il-piacere-di-stare-insieme/"&gt;spaghettata Voiello&lt;/a&gt;, una serata dedicata alla food photography e al piacere di stare insieme gustando dei piatti di ottima pasta.

Una serata molto piacevole, grazie alla splendida organizzazione e alla compagnia di una cinquantina di persone accomunate dalle stesse passioni: il piacere della buona tavola, la convivialità e la fotografia, anche a livelli non professionali.

&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Eccomi qui, appena in tempo per pubblicare anch'io una ricetta di Halloween. L'anno scorso ho preparato delle &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2008/10/halloween-cupcakes.html"&gt;cupcakes&lt;/a&gt;, questa volta mi sono impegnata di meno e, tanto per cambiare, ho fatto dei muffin, il mio chiodo fisso. Ho usato però la zucca, ingrediente fondamentale, che dà ai dolci un'incredibile morbidezza e li colora anche di giallo. Questi muffin sono piuttosto speziati e poco dolci, quindi se amate "sentire" lo zucchero aumentato un pochino la dose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 300gr di zucca (peso senza semi e buccia) - 300gr di farina - 160gr di burro - 2 cucchiaini e ½ di lievito per dolci - 150gr di zucchero di canna - 2 cucchiaini di cannella in polvere - 1 cucchiaino di noce moscata grattugiata - 2 uova - 100ml di latte &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Pulire la zucca e cuocerla a vapore (o al forno se preferite). Ridurla in crema schiacciandola con una forchetta. Mescolare assieme in una ciotola farina, lievito, zucchero, cannella e noce moscata. In un altra sbattere velocemente il burro ammorbidito con le uova, la zucca e aggiungere per ultimo il latte. Mescolare assieme ingredienti secchi e liquidi con un cucchiaio. Riempire con il composto uno stampo per muffin imburrato e cuocere in forno caldo a 180° per 20 minuti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397693518147253954" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1qBOYdsI/AAAAAAAABqo/Jp1LuaSY_CE/s400/Muffin+zucca02_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1PEEthRI/AAAAAAAABqg/TuxU0AnJtrE/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397693055055529234" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1PEEthRI/AAAAAAAABqg/TuxU0AnJtrE/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1KnhnFuI/AAAAAAAABqY/O-A-YxN1ZAQ/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397692978672637666" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1KnhnFuI/AAAAAAAABqY/O-A-YxN1ZAQ/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Spicy pumpkin muffin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I am, just in time to publish a Halloween recipe. Last year I made &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2008/10/halloween-cupcakes.html"&gt;cupcakes&lt;/a&gt;, this time I didn't work too hard and baked muffins, again. I used pumpkin though, key ingredient, which makes cakes incredibly spongy and, of course, it colours them yellow. These muffins are quite spicy and not very sweet, so if you like to "feel" sugar, add some more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 300gr (1.3cup - 10.6oz) pumpkin (without skin and seeds) - 300gr flour - 160gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) butter - 2½tsp baking powder - 150gr (0.66cup - 5.3 oz) brown sugar - 2tsp cinnamon powder - 1tsp ground nutmeg - 2 eggs - 100ml (3.5oz) milk.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Steam pumpkin, then smash it with a fork. In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. In another bowl whisk butter with eggs, then add pumpkin and finally milk. Mix together dry and liquid ingredients, then spoon poon the mixture into a greased muffin tin (or with paper cups) and bake at 180° C (350F - gas mark 4) for about 20 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-7519338176674154851?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/7519338176674154851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/muffin-di-zucca-speziati.html#comment-form' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7519338176674154851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7519338176674154851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/muffin-di-zucca-speziati.html' title='Muffin di zucca speziati'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1vjXhzAI/AAAAAAAABqw/OgYvMHAsnX4/s72-c/Muffin+zucca01_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-351480087951689893</id><published>2009-10-23T12:00:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T12:12:58.386+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biscotti - Biscuits'/><title type='text'>Biscotti con cioccolato al latte</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9sRmJtmI/AAAAAAAABqQ/D9ZTR8SOxLs/s1600-h/Milk+choc+cookies_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395732028157703778" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9sRmJtmI/AAAAAAAABqQ/D9ZTR8SOxLs/s400/Milk+choc+cookies_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sembrano i classici chocolate chip cookies, in realtà sono ancora più golosi perché hanno tra gli ingredienti anche il cioccolato al latte. Come tutti i biscotti a goccia sono facili e veloci da preparare, cuociono anche in pochi minuti e, se non li mangiate tutti subito, si conservano bene per qualche giorno in una scatola di latta. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farina - 160gr di burro - 160gr di cioccolato al latte - 120 gr di zucchero - 1 uovo - ½ cucchiaino di lievito per dolci - 2 cucchiaini di estratto naturale di vaniglia - 100gr di gocce di cioccolato fondente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Setacciare la farina con il lievito. Montare il burro morbido con lo zucchero, aggiungere l'uovo e l'essenza di vaniglia. Far sciogliere il cioccolato al latte a bagnomaria, quindi amalgamarlo delicatamente all'impasto. Versarvi quindi la farina e le gocce di cioccolato. Formare delle palline con il palmo delle mani, schiacciarle leggermente su una placca da forno imburrata o rivestita di carta forno e infornare a 170° per 10 minuti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9abHYQHI/AAAAAAAABqI/TNUmcc3XBx0/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395731721475342450" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9abHYQHI/AAAAAAAABqI/TNUmcc3XBx0/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9WtQTc7I/AAAAAAAABqA/UbLThkSbuuE/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395731657625138098" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9WtQTc7I/AAAAAAAABqA/UbLThkSbuuE/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Milk chocolate cookies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;They look like regular chocolate chip cookies but they're not, they're really more tasty because I used milk chocolate this time. Just as all drop cookies they're easy to make, they cook in few minutes and, if you don't eat them all, they're easy preserved in a tin box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) flour - 160gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) butter - 160gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) milk chocolate - 120gr (½cup-4oz) sugar - 1 egg - ½tsp baking powder - 2tsp natural vanilla extract - 100gr (½cup-3.5oz) dark chocolate drops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sift flour with baking powder. Whisk butter with sugar until creamy, then add egg and vanilla extract. Place milk chocolate in a large, heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of barely simmering water, and allow the chocolate to melt, then stir until smooth. Add it to the mixture, together with flour and chocolate drops, stir till thoroughly blended. Now form with dough small lumps and roll them into rounds using the flat of your hand. Place them on a tray and press gently to flatten them out into rounds. Bake at 170°C (325F-gas mark 3) for 10 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-351480087951689893?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/351480087951689893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/biscotti-con-cioccolato-al-latte.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/351480087951689893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/351480087951689893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/biscotti-con-cioccolato-al-latte.html' title='Biscotti con cioccolato al latte'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9sRmJtmI/AAAAAAAABqQ/D9ZTR8SOxLs/s72-c/Milk+choc+cookies_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-3446407095110371806</id><published>2009-10-08T19:15:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T19:22:58.262+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antipasti - Appetizers'/><title type='text'>Biscottini cacio e pepe</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4d0qjZc8I/AAAAAAAABp4/gwHbwx51X9o/s1600-h/Biscotti+cacio+e+pepe_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390278594622223298" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4d0qjZc8I/AAAAAAAABp4/gwHbwx51X9o/s400/Biscotti+cacio+e+pepe_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dopo il successo dei &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/02/biscotti-al-parmigiano-e-pate-di-olive.html"&gt;biscotti al parmigiano con patè di olive taggiasche&lt;/a&gt;, ho deciso di sperimentare degli altri biscottini salati. Anche questi sono molto saporiti e leggermente piccanti, perfetti per un aperitivo. Hanno un solo difetto: finiscono subito!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 16-18 biscotti&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 120gr di farina - 50gr di pecorino - 1 cucchiaino di pepe nero macinato - 70gr di burro - 1 cucchiaio di acqua - sesamo a piacere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mettere in un mixer la farina, il burro freddo a pezzetti, il pecorino grattugiato e il pepe. Azionare alla massima velocità e, una volta che l'impasto avrà assunto l'aspetto di grosse briciole, versare l'acqua in modo da ottenere un impasto che si raccolga in una palla e lasci le pareti del mixer pulite. Avvolgerlo con della pellicola e lasciarlo riposare in frigorifero per un paio d'ore. Trascorso questo tempo, stendere l'impasto con un mattarello ad uno spesso di circa 6-7mm, quindi cospargerlo con semi di sesamo e stendere ancora con il mattarello. Ritagliare dei biscotti con lo stampo che preferite, quindi sitemarli su una placca da forno rivestita di carta forno o imburrata. Cuocere per 12 minuti in forno caldo a 180°C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4dsGKCK2I/AAAAAAAABpw/63T_pSDZTTo/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390278447413209954" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4dsGKCK2I/AAAAAAAABpw/63T_pSDZTTo/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4dnH5IYyI/AAAAAAAABpo/xf6ttfEdnQk/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390278361979839266" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4dnH5IYyI/AAAAAAAABpo/xf6ttfEdnQk/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Cheese and pepper biscuits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;After the &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/02/biscotti-al-parmigiano-e-pate-di-olive.html"&gt;biscuits with parmesan and olives pâté&lt;/a&gt; success, I've decided to make some more experiments. These biscuits are really tasty and spicy, simply perfect as an appetizer. They have only one defect: they end up too soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 16-18 biscuits&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 120gr (½cup-4oz) flour - 50gr (0.2cup - 1.7oz) pecorino romano- 1tsp black pepper - 70gr (0.3cup - 2.5oz) butter - 1 tbs water - sesame seeds as needed&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Place cold butter, flour, grated pecorino and pepper in a food processor and give it a whiz till it resembles crumbs, then add a tablespoon of water till the dough will come together in a way that leaves the processor fairly clean. Put in the fridge in a polythene bag for 2 hours. After this time, roll out the dough 6-7mm (0.2inch) thick. Spread over it the sesame seeds and roll out a little bit more. Now cut out the biscuits with a cutter, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 180°C (350F) for 12 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3446407095110371806?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3446407095110371806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/biscottini-cacio-e-pepe.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3446407095110371806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3446407095110371806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/biscottini-cacio-e-pepe.html' title='Biscottini cacio e pepe'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/S2xhj9hUeGI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/tv5M1Rvc-eI/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4d0qjZc8I/AAAAAAAABp4/gwHbwx51X9o/s72-c/Biscotti+cacio+e+pepe_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr
