Low Fodmap Sausage and Capsicum Risotto

Low Fodmap Sausage and Capsicum Risotto

Being born in Milan, the city where risotto was created, I have always been a huge fan of this dish, and today’s Low Fodmap Sausage and Capsicum Risotto is no exception.

Italian Sausage with Bell Peppers and Potatoes

Italian Sausage with Bell Peppers and Potatoes

I LOVE sausage. As a child, it used to be my favourite dish ever. We would almost only have it in summer though, as we would find the best sausage in Sicily. We would barbecue it and enjoy it in the most simple way. It was so good that you didn’t really have to add…

Italian Sausages in Tomato Sauce

Italian Sausages in Tomato Sauce

As a child, sausage used to be my most favourite meal! And I must admit that I still like it a lot. The kind of sausage I prefer is the Sicilian one, made with only pork meat and with the addition of fennel seeds. As I cannot always find it here, I make my own…

Home-made Spanish Chorizo

Home-made Spanish Chorizo

Here goes my third, and last, Spanish recipe in a row. And what better than home-made Spanish chorizo?? You already know I LOVE to make things from scratch and sausages always come out great! To tell you the truth, I had never thought to make Chorizo at home… I was somehow “obliged to”, as the…

Chorizo en Salsa

Chorizo en Salsa

If you follow me on Facebook, you will know that this year we hosted a little New Year’s Eve party at our place.  We had a Spanish theme.  We started off with some Pineapple Mojitos and then we had Sangria and a few tapas: Stuffed Mushrooms, Smoked Salmon, Chorizo en Salsa, Manchego, Jamon Serrano, salami…

Panino con la Salamella

Panino con la Salamella #SundaySupper

Today the Sunday Supper group is inviting everyone to a big Virtual Picnic!  It is summer in the Northern hemisphere and a picnic is in order.  Even for us down here, stuck in the coldest months of the year, picnic food is fun and always great to pin and bookmark.  I love “dreaming” of summer time and…

Home-made Verzini

Home-made Verzini

As you may know, I was born and brought up in Milan.  Foodwise, Milan is famous for risotto (especially Risotto alla Milanese, made with saffron), ossobuco, cotoletta, panettone and cassoeula.  As you can see, I have already shared the recipes for the most famous Milanese food… all, but one: Cassoeula.  The reason why it took…

Orecchiette with sausage and fennel tops

ORECCHIETTE WITH SAUSAGE AND FENNEL TOPS

I know many people find making bread relaxing.  And I do understand why… kneading is good for you and it does take your mind away from everyday worries.  I have a very similar experience when making pasta.  And more precisely when shaping pasta with my hands.  I find it a very relaxing and fulfilling activity. …

Home-made Cotechino

HOME-MADE COTECHINO

A few months ago, I took part in a Daring Cooks challenge about salumi. At that time, I chose to make Salame Cotto, and it was a great success. That, and the fact that I regularly make my own Pork Sausage, encouraged me to try my hands at making another popular Italian meat product: Cotechino….

Pan fried Sicilian Pork Sausage with fennel

PAN FRIED SICILIAN PORK SAUSAGE WITH FENNEL

Sausage is one of the meats I used to love the most while growing up.  I still do, but now I am much more selective and try to make my own sausage every time I can.  There is nothing better than fresh, home-made pork sausage: you know what’s in it, you choose the cuts of…

Home-made Sicilian Pork Sausage with Fennel

HOME-MADE SICILIAN PORK SAUSAGE WITH FENNEL

I am very excited about today’s post: Home-made Sicilian Pork Sausage with Fennel  It is one of those recipes that I have been making for a long time and that I have been very keen on sharing.  The only reason why I hadn’t done it yet was the lack of reasonably good pictures.  But finally,…

Sausage and Smoked Scamorza Stuffed Eggplant

SAUSAGE AND SMOKED SCAMORZA STUFFED EGGPLANT

Today’s recipe is pure comfort food.  As days get shorter and the weather gets cooler down here, I do feel the like cooking some hearty and comforting food.  I love vegetables, but my husband is a carnivore and he’s never fully satisfied with a vegetarian dinner.  This recipe satisfies the whole family as it has…

CHICKEN BALLOTINE

For the April Daring Cooks Challenge, Lisa from Parsley, Sage and Sweet has challenged us to debone a whole chicken, using this video by Jacques Pepin as our guide; then stuff it, tie it and roast it, to create a Chicken Ballotine. Wow! What a challenge!  I was absolutely thrilled when I saw it!  I had never…

SAUSAGE AND FENNEL RISOTTO

I don’t think I have said this before, but when I was expecting my eldest daughter, I used to have very strong savoury cravings and risotto was always on the top of my list!  The great thing about risotto is that it is like a white canvas that you can paint with any flavour you…

Green Lasagne with Stracchino, Artichokes and Sausage

GREEN LASAGNE WITH STRACCHINO, ARTICHOKES AND SAUSAGE

When I think of comfort food, the first image that comes to my mind is a plate full of lasagne… no matter how they are made (with a classic beef sauce, with pesto or with any other ingredients), lasagne represent comfort food to me (and the majority of Italians).  They are easily going to be…

Cavatelli con ragu' di maiale

CAVATELLI CON RAGÙ DI MAIALE

Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from the small region of Molise, in the South of Italy (though, to be precise, the same dish with small variations is widespread in many other Southern regions, like Puglia or Campania or Basilicata).  Molise is a small but beautiful region, famous for its pasta and extra virgin olive oil. …
