    Tortilla Española (Spanish Omelette)

    Inspired by friend and colleague Alessandro Allegro who lived in Spain for more than 10 years.

    Vellutata di Zucca di Trombetta (Crookneck Pumpkin Soup)

    By Andrea Marchesini, a friend and tour leader from Liguria.

     

    You might enjoy this dish on our tours in Liguria during the summer time when zucca di trombetta is in season. It is harvested in a juvenile form, when it resembles a thin and long zucchina, and it gets its shape from being grown hanging down off a pergola. In summer, this wonderful veggie is most often served raw, chopped in a salad, or as a sautéed side dish.

    12/28/2022 - foodstoriestravel 0 Comments
    Risotto ai Porri (with Leeks)

    Inspired by Carlo, a Piedmontese friend from Cervere in Piedmont.

     

    Cervere is a little town in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont, which is famous for its leek. A smaller, less pungent variety, the mild and delicate Cervere leek really sings in a risotto.

     

    Near the end of November, in Cervere, you can even attend the local leek festival that celebrates this veggie. After harvest, leeks are stored in a dark room until they reach the peak of flavor.

    Pici all'Aglione

    By Wiebke at Agriturismo Casanova in Asciano, Tuscany

     

    This simple and delicious recipe celebrates a unique ingredient called "aglione," which is mostly grown in the Chiana Valley area of Tuscany and harvested between June and August. Its name means "big garlic" to reflect the much larger size of this specific variety. Aglione is way milder and easier to digest than regular, smaller garlic.

    Easter Savory Pie (Torta Pasqualina)

    Inspired by Carla Simondo, a veggie and fruits producer near Albenga and shop owner in Alassio.

     

    Originally from Liguria, the name derives from Pasqua (Easter in Italian). Traditionally, it calls for 33 sheets of dough, marking the years of the life of Jesus Christ. Nowadays, the trend is to use two sheets of dough only.

     

    As Torta Pasqualina stores well and can be served cold, it is also typical at the picnics of Pasquetta (Easter Monday), which Italians love to celebrate together.

The main way that this version differs from the Spanish one is that the veggies are not blended but simply diced alongside cubed stale bread and diced water.
