Patty Cake - Free Ones

The cake-purpose Pasta Recco


Today, my strong desire and of my ignorance, I embarked on a recipe that I thought for some time. Years ago a friend told me about a delicious cake eaten in Liguria. He was surprised that I did not know me and enchanted with the story of his goodness. Since then I came back often to imagine that never ate cake and to lay down, to myself, its characteristics. Some words that you look at any one time as normal, and discover the latest in a totally unexpected that you have touched, that you have entered, ordered, in the ranks of your memory, and waiting to be remembered and to weigh in your life.
Today, therefore, and tinker in front of the refrigerated store the bio of Trastevere, fate came to me in the form of an exclamation. Roberto says: "We'll take the goat stracchino ?!!!". At that precise moment the focaccia di Recco has become my only reason for being a cook. She was ready for it. Today was the right time, in years.

There are recipes that will accompany a life. Today is one of them. It 's a mix of flour, oil, water and salt that I use as a base for both savory pies for the strudel and other sweet.

At the center of each square I spread 1 teaspoon of compost Apricot without sugar and pour 1 tablespoon of apples. I closed each square of dough by bringing together the 4 corners to center and press firmly to attach the dough (in the case moisten the corners: the dough will stick better).

puréed cauliflower

Damn! No pics this time! And I'm really sorry because the end result is an inviting creamy soup! It 's a simple recipe, easy, that warms the body and heart. Everything started from the purchase of a box of creme fraiche. I was reminded to eat soup with my mother and my sister in Copenhagen: the fragrant and steaming mug of vegetable soup with cream in the center of the island that widened spiral stirring with a spoon. Aaah what a nice memories ... Last night, his cheeks full of soup I wanted to write an ode to the creme fraiche, satisfying the power of that butter is rich in enzymes that keeps you happy, suspended on a cloud :-) It just really a spoon to make a pass a perfect circle! After much searching in vain, I finally found by Naturasia. It reminded me of greek yoghurt, thick and creamy that fact: it could be a substitute if you find the cream ...
NB Obviously this is one of the recipes in thirty minutes ;-) I'm incapocciando

1 / 2 cauliflower 2 potatoes


4 carrots 1 tablespoon shoyu 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

30 g grated Parmesan cheese + a small piece Parmesan crust thoroughly clean
about 1 liter of boiling water

a piece of chilli salt


Chop the vegetables clean. Heat the oil over low heat, add the vegetables and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring often. Cover with boiling water, add the shoyu, add the piece of red pepper and the crust of Parmesan cheese, salt and raise the heat. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium heat and cover top. Cook for 25 minutes. Set aside half of the soup and blend well the other half. Bringing together the two sides, add the grated Parmesan cheese, mix well, cover and let stand a couple of minutes. Serve with a nice spoonful of creme fraiche on the plate. The croutons are recommended ;-)
