MUHAMMARA – THE SECRET RECIPE CLUB

It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal!  I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation.  It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…

PORK FILLET WITH A HONEY & MUSTARD GLAZE AND FRIED ARTICHOKES

This is one of those recipes that I have been making for such a long time that I do not even remember where I got it from!  It is very simple, yet delicious.  The pork is tender, juicy, sweet and tangy.  I love to serve it with fried artichokes, the way my mum makes them. …

Baked Witlof with Ham and Swiss Emmenthal

BAKED WITLOF WITH HAM AND SWISS EMMENTAL

Today I want to share with you the recipe for a comforting side dish.  I love witlof (endive) and I usually eat it raw, but when I saw this recipe, I coud not resist and I had to try it.  It was fantastic and I will definitely make it again.  It could be a good…

Rösti - Roesti

RÖSTI – ROESTI

The Daring Cooks’ February 2012 challenge was hosted by Audax & Lis and they chose to present Patties for their ease of construction, ingredients and deliciousness! We were given several recipes, and learned the different types of binders and cooking methods to produce our own tasty patties! When I read this month’s announcement I was…

OCTOPUS SALAD

Today I want to share with you a very easy dish.  In fact, it is almost a “non-recipe” as all you have to do is cut the ingredients and mix them together.  Well, you may have to boil the octopus and potatoes too if you cannot find them ready.  But that’s about it.  I used…

RASCATURE

This dish was not originally included in my proposal to Foodbuzz for my 24×24 event on Sicilian Street Food New Year’s Eve Party: it was a spur of the moment decision.  As they turned out great, I am sharing the recipe with you as well!  It is really not a recipe per se, but it…

Panelle

PANELLE

Panelle are, together with cazzilli and arancine, the most famous Sicilian street food, and that is why I immediately knew I had to feature them on the menu of the Sicilian Street Food New Year’s Eve Party I organised for this month’s Foodbuzz 24×24 event!  They are delicious on their own when eaten hot, but…

Cazzilli - Crocchè di patate

CAZZILLI – CROCCHÈ DI PATATE

I love all potato croquettes! My mum used to make them often, even though she makes them differently (I will share her recipe too as soon as possible). These, instead, are exactly like the ones you can buy on the streets of Palermo and they were on the top of my list for the Sicilian…

Chifeletti

CHIFELETTI – KIPFEL – KIFELČEK

This week’s Regional Italian dish will take us back to the region of Friuli – Venezia Giulia, Italy’s most North-Eastern region that borders with Austria and Slovenia.  As I have already said in my post about Maiale al Latte – Purcit tal Lat, it is a region that puts together the historically-geographical region of Friuli…

MIXED SALAD WITH YOGHURT AND SAFFRON DRESSING

This recipe will help you to spice up your salad with a low fat and delicious dressing.  Yes, you read that right… low fat and delicious were used in the same sentence!  It is low fat as it is a yoghurt based dressing and it is delicious thanks to the addition of saffron and curry…

FARINATA DI CECI

This week I want to take you all to Liguria for my weekly Regional Italian dish.  Liguria is a coastal region in North-western Italy famous for its seaside, colourful villages and delicious food.  Who hasn’t heard of Cinque Terre or Portofino and who hasn’t eaten pesto or focaccia at least once?  Unfortunately this area has also been hit…

CHEESY GRITS WITH CHICKEN AND SPICY PAN ROASTED MUSHROOMS – GUEST POST FROM SANDRA OF SANDRA’S EASY COOKING

As you know, I am currently on vacation for a few days and I have decided to ask a few of my favourite foodie friends to write some guest posts for Manu’s Menu while I am away.  I am so excited to introduce the second guest of this series!  She is one of the most…

CORSICAN STUFFED COURGETTES – GUEST POST FROM JILL OF MAD ABOUT MACARONS

If you follow me regularly, you may know that I am off for a short holiday with my family for some well deserved R&R.  While I am gone, I thought I would leave you in good company.  I have wanted to host some guests on Manu’s Menu for a while and this sounded like the…

RED ONION TARTE TATIN

This recipe was one of the first recipes that I had decided to try out when I bought the recipe book in which it was published.  And then, for one reason or another, I never got around to making it.  The other day I was looking for another recipe and I saw this one.  I…

POTATO, SPECK AND LEEK PARCELS

In my opinion, there is no better side dish for a steak than potatoes, in whatever shape or form, so I knew I had to make some to go with the Beef fillet roast that I prepared for my Foodbuzz 24×24 Christmas in July event.  The thing is, when you are making a special meal, you want…

ORANGE, FENNEL AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD AND AWARDS

My series of posts dedicated to my Foodbuzz 24×24 Christmas in July event is back after a few days’ break and 2 guest posts!  Thank you again Kankana from Sunshine & Smile and Erin from Big Fat Baker!  This is a typical Christmas salad as it is made with winter ingredients, but I love it all…

Christmas in July 2011

FOODBUZZ 24×24: CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Since I moved to Australia from Italy 5 years ago I haven’t gotten used to the “reversed” seasons yet.  For someone who has spent the majority of her life in the Northern hemisphere where it is summer in July and winter in December, I have to live with the seasons reversed and believe me, it…

SWEET AND SOUR PUMPKIN WITH GARLIC AND MINT

This is a very versatile dish: it makes a great side dish for meats, but it can also be eaten as an appetizer or finger food on some toasted ciabatta.  It is my family’s favourite vegetable dish.  We all like its sweet and sour taste and I usually make a lot of it and keep…

PASTA WITH CREAMY BROCCOLI AND PINE NUT SAUCE

I have always liked broccoli (which in Italian are referred to as “broccoletti” to differentiate them from the big roman or purple broccoli), even as a child.  Then again, I also used to like brussel sprouts, so I guess I was not a fussy child when it came to eating my veggies.  Anyhow, this very…

RUSSIAN SALAD IN HAM CANNOLI – INSALATA RUSSA

Jami Sorrento was our June Daring Cooks hostess and she chose to challenge us to celebrate the humble spud by making a delicious and healthy potato salad. The Daring Cooks Potato Salad Challenge was sponsored by the nice people at the United States Potato Board, who awarded prizes to the top 3 most creative and…

Kashmiri Pulao

KASHMIRI PULAO

When we first moved to Sydney we did not know any good places to dine out in the city, so we asked around and received a few great suggestions.  One of these quickly became one of our favourite restaurants: Abhi’s Indian Restaurant.  The food is fantastic and some of their dishes are just plain delicious. …

COUSCOUS SALAD

Couscous is one of those ingredients that I have always loved.  To tell you the truth I have discovered the pre-cooked version only in recent years.  My mom is from Trapani, a city in western Sicily that is renowned for the most delicious fish couscous on the planet.  I have grown up eating (and enjoying)…
