SWORDFISH INVOLTINI IN TOMATO SAUCE

Swordfish involtini are a very common dish in Sicily and they are also one of my favourite recipes for fish!  A little while ago I already shared with you the recipe of how to make Baked Swordfish Involtini.  Today I am going to show you an alternative way of cooking them.  This is my mom’s…

CHESTNUT GNOCCHI VALCHIAVENNA STYLE

Today’s Regional Italian recipe comes from the region I grew up in: Lombardy.  To be precise, this recipe is from Valchiavenna, an Alpine valley to the north of Lake Como.  It is a truly beautiful area and the food you can eat there is genuine and very much linked to the territory and local produce. …

Taleggio and Apple Risotto

TALEGGIO AND APPLE RISOTTO

Pappardelle with radicchio and speck

PAPPARDELLE WITH RADICCHIO AND SPECK

Radicchio (pronounced rah-DEE-kee-oh) is a chicory very specific to certain areas of Northern Italy, especially Veneto.  There are a few varieties, but Chioggia (the round kind) and Treviso (the elongated kind) are the most common.  I have only ever seen Treviso in Sydney, so that’s what I have used for this recipe, but the round variety…

Speck Canederli in Broth

CANEDERLI CON SPECK IN BRODO – SPECK CANEDERLI IN BROTH

Canederli, also known locally as Knödel, are bread dumplings typical of the area of South Tyrol, even though similar versions are found in Austrian, German, Hungarian, Croatian and Czech cuisines.  The classic Italian recipe calls for Italian Speck, which is a smoked prosciutto typical of the area and they are traditionally served in broth as…

Gattò di patate

GATTÒ DI PATATE – POTATO PIE

Today’s recipe is another one of my family recipes and one of my favourites!  It is actually a regional dish that is very popular both in Campania and Sicily (so I will be tagging it under both regions for my Regional Italian dish series), with some variations.  Some people put ham in it instead of…

Granita al caffe' con panna

GRANITA AL CAFFÈ CON PANNA

I am very excited about sharing today’s Regional Italian recipe.  You can easily guess that this week’s region is Sicily… granite (plural for granita) are the quintessential Sicilian breakfast, especially in summer.  There are so many flavours, it is hard to choose only one when you sit at one of the local cafés… my favourite…

Baked swordfish involtini

BAKED SWORDFISH INVOLTINI

I must admit I am not a huge fish lover.  Well, actually that is not exactly true as there is a lot of fish that I do enjoy eating, but the majority of it is very hard to find around here!  So, I tend to eat mainly salmon or swordfish, which have always come to…

Fagioli all'uccelletto

FAGIOLI ALL’UCCELLETTO

Today’s Regional Italian dish is from Tuscany and more specifically from the beautiful city of Florence.  It is a very simple yet tasty recipe that can be served as a vegetarian/vegan main dish or, as it is common in Tuscany, as a side to barbecued Italian sausages.  Fagioli all’uccelletto is an ancient recipe made of…

Gnocchi alla sorrentina

GNOCCHI ALLA SORRENTINA

This week’s Regional Italian dish comes from Campania and more precisely from Sorrento.  I am sure that all of you have heard of this beautiful coastal village, which is renowned for its world famous lemons (from which the best limoncello is made).  I would love to share with you the recipe for limoncello, but as…

EGGPLANT INVOLTINI

I think I have already said this but eggplant is one of my favourite veggie.  You can make so many things with it and it always tastes so good!  Today I am going to share with you the recipe for what has to be my all time favourite side dish (that can easily double up…

Sicilian Cannoli

SICILIAN CANNOLI – CANNOLI SICILIANI

This is the recipe of cannoli (well, my family’s recipe!). It’s a traditional dish from Sicily and it requires very specific ingredients that are sometimes hard to find abroad… there are many Sicilian migrants here, so l am lucky enough to find almost anything. If you can’t find ricotta cheese, you can try and substitute…
