My home-cooked meat tartare

La mia tartare di carne gustata in casa

My home-made meat tartare.
One of my favorite meat dishes is definitely tartare. I personally prefer tartare to battuta because I like thinly sliced ​​meat.
I found Piedmontese meat at a very good price in a supermarket near my home and I often take it home.
I prepare it half an hour before and season it the way I like it: lemon, oil, salt, pepper, onion (finely sliced), olives (finely sliced) and mustard (I don't add capers, which I don't like, or eggs). I stir it often and it's really delicious.

Black tagliolini with squid and cherry tomatoes

Taglierini neri con calamaretti e pomodorini

Black tagliolini with squid, cherry tomatoes and olives.
Some time ago, after being at the stadium, my wife and I stopped to eat something in Genoa.
Our favorite place after the game is the restaurant pizzeria Piedigrotta (here is the review on TripAdvisor) which prepares excellent and large pizzas but also cooks excellent dishes.
That time, on the menu, there was a special dish that I decided to try: black tagliolini (with squid ink) with squid, cherry tomatoes and olives.
Very good I must say!

Focaccia barese, an all-Italian specialty

La focaccia barese, una specialità tutta italiana

Focaccia barese, an all-Italian specialty.
Focaccia barese is a typical gastronomic specialty of the city of Bari, in Puglia, Italy. This delicious flat bread is a culinary delight enjoyed both in its traditional form and in the variations that have developed over time. Focaccia barese is particularly known for its soft and spongy texture, combined with a rich and aromatic flavor.
Focaccia barese is based on high-quality ingredients. The flour used is often type 0 or 00, while extra virgin olive oil is a key element that contributes to its unique flavor.
The dough of focaccia barese is essentially a combination of flour, water, yeast, salt and olive oil. This is worked to obtain a soft and elastic consistency that gives the focaccia its light structure.
Another crucial element is the leavening process, which can take several hours. This step is essential to ensure that the focaccia becomes soft and spongy.
Focaccia barese can be enriched with a variety of traditional toppings. One of the most common is “pomodoro e olive,” which involves the use of chopped tomatoes and black or green olives. Some also add oregano, coarse salt, or onion.
Focaccia barese is usually baked in the oven at a high temperature. The end result is a golden, crispy crust that envelops a soft center.
While focaccia barese has a basic recipe, it is important to note that there can be regional or even family variations. Some may prefer a thinner focaccia, while others may opt for a thicker version.
Focaccia barese is often eaten as a snack, but it is equally suitable for splitting and filling into delicious sandwiches. It is a popular choice for a quick meal or to take with you on a stroll through the charming streets of Bari.

Focaccia barese is much more than just bread; it is a culinary experience that captures the heart and palate of anyone who tastes it. Its tradition and distinctive flavor make it one of the gastronomic treasures of Puglia.

Pasta with tuna, tomato and olives, the recipe

Pasta al sugo di tonno, pomodoro e olive

Pasta with tuna, tomato and olive sauce.
I discovered relatively recently that I really like seasoning pasta with tomato sauce and tuna.
It is very simple to prepare and now I will explain how.

Ingredients for two people:
– tomato puree
– a can of tuna (in oil or natural)
– olives (I used green ones)
– onion
– extra virgin olive oil
– salt (a pinch)
– white wine (two fingers in a glass)
– pasta of your choice (I used farfalle)

How to proceed:
first, in a large pan, sauté the onions and oil; when it is golden brown, add the tomato puree, a pinch of salt and the olives.
In the meantime, put a pan with plenty of water and salt on which, during the time you prepare the sauce, it will boil.
Leave it on a high heat for a couple of minutes and when the puree starts to boil, add the white wine (I'm not sure if the wine is necessary but I really like that acidic/fruity note left in the sauce).
In a couple of minutes the alcohol in the wine will have evaporated and you can add the tuna (drained if it was in oil) and cook it slowly.
While the sauce finishes cooking, throw in the pasta and when ready, drain it and add it to the sauce.

The beef tartare that I like, the recipe

La tartare di manzo che piace a me, la ricetta

The beef tartare that I like, the recipe.
To tell the truth it is not a real recipe or in any case I believe that everyone at home makes it a bit as they like and with the most appreciated ingredients.
A quick dish and, if the quality of the products is adequate, very good.

Here are my ingredients:
– 300 grams of beef tartare (I find Fassona at the supermarket) whichever you prefer or find or can afford
– a pinch of salt and pepper
– a little chopped onion
– Taggiasca olives (I find them already pitted to save time)
– extra virgin olive oil
– a teaspoon of mustard

Mix all the ingredients with a fork and a spoon until you obtain a smooth mixture and leave to rest for half an hour.
The dish is ready to be enjoyed!

Chicken stew with olives

Il pollo in umido con le olive

Chicken stew with olives.
One of my favorite dishes when I'm at home is chicken with olives, at least that's what we call it in our family.
Chicken breast cut into small pieces cooked in olive oil and a drop of tomato paste, pine nuts and olives.
Very tasty!

Pizza prosciutto e olive fatta in casa.
Questa è, come conoscono bene le pizzerie della zona, la mia preferita: prosciutto più olive.
Questo è un close-up del centro della pizza e potete vedere bene gli ingredienti: passata di pomodoro, prosciutto cotto, mozzarella fiordilatte e olive taggiasche.
Mia mamma, per lei, aggiunge anche una spolverata di origano ma a me non piace!
Negli ultimi tempi ho postato tantissime foto dell’Italia ma non altrettante di cibo.
