A plate of Turkish patlican kebab in Barcelona.
Patlican Kebab is a traditional Turkish dish that combines aubergines (patlican in Turkish) and meat, usually lamb or beef. This kebab is particularly appreciated for its rich flavour and its preparation that highlights the fresh and tasty ingredients typical of Turkish cuisine.
There are different variations depending on the region and personal preferences. Some recipes call for the use of different spices or the addition of other vegetables such as courgettes or onions. In some versions, the aubergines and meat can be cooked together in a pan in the oven instead of on skewers.
Patlican kebab represents a perfect combination of flavours and techniques of Turkish cuisine, offering a rich and aromatic dish that celebrates the fresh ingredients and the culinary tradition of the country.

Verdure ripiene alla ligure

Verdure ripiene alla ligure

Verdure ripiene alla ligure.
Io veramente non le mangio perché non mi piacciono molto ma lo so che sono uno dei pochi liguri che la pensa così.
D’estate le verdure ripiene sono un must: zucchine, cipolle, peperoni, melanzane…
C’è solamente l’imbarazzo della scelta (se vi piacciono)!
Ovviamente, essendo cotte al forno, non sarebbero proprio un patto da preparare in estate. Si mangiano tiepide o fredde però e se avete la fortuna di mangiare in sala e non in cucina siete apposto!

Ho trovato questo bell’articolo su lenius.it ma ce ne sono decine in rete e probabilmente ve ne parlo ampiamente già in altri articoli che ho pubblicato su questo sito.

Land appetizers: ham, mozzarella and vegetables

Land appetizers: ham, mozzarella and vegetables.
A nice plate of mixed land appetizers.
Raw ham, aubergines, potatoes, carrots, courgettes, tomatoes, broccoli and, of course, the inevitable centre of the plate, two lovely mozzarellas!
A classic in Italian cuisine is definitely the appetizer. It is used to whet your appetite but sometimes it is so abundant and tasty (as in this case) that you basically already have an almost full stomach before starting the actual meal.
Here, in fact, the plate was really big but there were three of us and we quickly polished it off before the pizza.

Homemade Stuffed Vegetables: A Typical Ligurian Dish

Verdure ripiene fatte in casa

Homemade stuffed vegetables: a typical Ligurian dish.
Stuffed vegetables are a summer dish par excellence, even if preparing them in the oven doesn't help to cool them down.
In Liguria they are a classic and, in this season, there is no shortage of fresh and local zero-mile vegetables to fill.
Aubergines, courgettes, onions (the best), peppers.

A pizza with aubergines and stracchino.
It's certainly not my favourite pizza but this pizza with aubergines (grilled) and stracchino (instead of mozzarella) is still inviting.

The pizza was of the Due Forni in Sestri Levante.

The etymology of the name “pizza” (which is not necessarily linked to the origin of the product) derives, according to some, from pinsa (from the Neapolitan language), past participle of the Latin verb pinsere or from the verb “pansere”, meaning to pound, crush, press which derives from the Mediterranean and Balkan pita, of Greek origin (πίττα, from the Greek πηκτός meaning “baked”); according to this last hypothesis the word derives from the Hebrew פיתה, from the Arabic كماج and from the Greek πίτα, from which also pita which belongs to the same category as bread or focaccia (see also History of pizza).
