The Pizza Del Pastore

The Pizza Del Pastore

The Pizza Del Pastore. Beautiful day this morning, sun shining even if the temperature was quite stiff. I left home to make my ten thousand daily steps along the paths in the countryside. To my surprise a few hundred meters from my house I saw a huge flock of sheep. I approached and was greeted by these two huge dogs that have awed me preventing me to approach further the flock of sheep. Fortunately the pastor immediately called them though with a whistle. We immediately socialized, both with dogs than with the intent pastor in the milking herd. As soon as he finished the long milking work immediately began to produce a delicious fresh cheese and immediately after the ricotta. Finally took me in his cellar where jealously preserved products of pastoralism prepared in the preceding days.

I purchased a fabulous ricotta and pecorino cheese.

Immediately with the memory I came back at the age of 5/6 years old when I watched my grandmother that made them.

I remember my grandmother telling me that the recipe had been passed down from her grandmother, so we're talking about something that comes from 1850 about, time when the street had not seen cars, but only carriages and horses.

Fried cresciole can be prepared in two versions: sweet and savory.

They were once strictly fried in lard, Today almost all chose the light version which involves frying in vegetable oil.

Pizza With Ricotta Homemade. All the catering, staff room and kitchen, They know very well the embarrassment you feel when having to justify themselves with their customers when some ingredient is not available. I laugh every time I hear the usual discussions like: In the fridge there was a full pack and do not know who did end, or…it was up to you to the grocery store, because you have not bought, or… when they finish things you have to write on the shopping list. In my long career as a Chef Pizzaiolo, I got to work in dozens of cuisines from around the world and, if you can comfort you, constantly it happens in all the kitchens of the world. Sometimes you can fix that, when you realize in time that something is missing in the kitchen and the clerk to take customer orders, Report it to the victim”before it decides what to order”, other times….the poor showing is inevitable.

The Pizza Fried Abruzzese

The Pizza Fried Abruzzese

The Pizza Fried Abruzzese. I have a suggestion for a fantastic destination for your next vacation. If you have not already done, I recommend strongly to visit the Abruzzo region. It seems to be the place where, in the opinion of foreign tourists who visit our beautiful country, you eat better by far. To provide this special ranking, it's not me, but that's incredible… a survey conducted by Confesercenti-Ref. E’ It has been asked many tourists who visit the Italian regions to give their opinion on services and on welcoming. The results obtained from this special list not leave any shadow of doubt: In a scale ranging from 1 a 10 the result obtained from the survey was for the value of Abruzzo 9,06. The best ever, to follow Campania, Basilicata and Calabria.

Among the many specialties that this beautiful region has to offer, and is closely related to our site that is only the pizza, it's surely “the fried pizza Abruzzese”.

Already in spring, with the first signs of summer, Abruzzo begin the first dedicated to food festivals and the “street food”. Fortunately, only about ten minutes drive separate me from this region, then by the person concerned, I did not let out a.

I noticed that the fried pizza is called in different ways depending on the city you plan to visit, Pizzonta, fried small pizza, pizzondella.

The Pizza Fried Abruzzese

E’ definitely a popular food, and, to feel the local elders, It was widespread in the past given the simplicity of the ingredients “poor” with which it was made.

This particular street food is a poor food which is prepared with bread dough or pizza, fried in large pots filled with seed oil or extra virgin olive oil.

In festivals it is served with salt or sugar sprinkled on the surface, depending on which version is preferred sweet or salt water.

In the last country festival I attended, I was lucky enough to visit the kitchen and be able to view the whole production process, the flour until the frying. I understand that only a lucky few have that privilege, and it is with great pleasure that I wish to share with you the fantastic recipe “pizzonta”, local dialect which means greasy pizza.

I had the privilege of having Candellora, old country (75 age) that made me as guide in the space in the kitchen. The first thing he showed me was the “nzogna”, a few of you know this term, but maybe you know this: La hungry.

We know that the pig does not discard anything, one of the things that characterize this area is precisely the pig's bladder filled with nzogna. During the pig slaughter, the bladder after being carefully cleaned with a mixture of water and vinegar flavored with citrus peel, It is immersed in cold water until it becomes solid. In the meantime, they are made in the pork fat cubes in a big pot and are put on the fire to form the liquid fat. Before the fat cools, It is poured into the bladder and hung from a nail on the ceiling.

La hungry, preserves the “lard” Content in it for several months. Lard is an ingredient widely used in Abruzzese cuisine and absolutely essential for the success of the fried pizza. It gives it a unique flavor and a unique softness.

Or use Shallot Onion Pizzeria. I think the world only Italian people can talk about food during lunch, or watch these cooking shows on television we are killing in any channel. Sometimes it happens that the guest on TV is some valid Chef, but in most cases the person being invited to prepare the dish of the day is some pseudo Chef with an equally poor cultural knowledge to pass on to its listeners. E’ precisely the case today, at lunch, sitting in front of a fantastic dish vinci Grassi prepared by Mrs. Paola, we had to put up with a guy who was wearing a jacket that Chef, the question of the well-known presenter of the television program failed to give a clear answer on what the difference was between the common onion and shallot. It is now clear that the word is used in the kitchen shallot by many chefs to look cool and cultured, out of turn, Also used in the sauce where we should onion.

I live in the countryside, then vegetables and vegetables are for the inhabitants of this region, daily bread. I repeated the same question to diners seated at the table with me at that time, and I got different answers. Come to order: The baby to 13 years has been associated with the word “shallot” to another, thus responding: The shallot is a “loser, one that brings bad luck, Then he added: the 17 is an unlucky number. The result was a great general laughter, and they all wanted to have their say. The greatest of 15 age, very cute, he immediately said that was nothing more than a different kind of onion. Followed immediately intervened my mother (85 age) who by his wisdom said: I know that kind of onion, but that crap is not worth anything, think of the poor farmer who after so many months of hard work in the countryside, He was faced with a poor harvest, that is, these small onions that were worthless. All they preferred to plant the large onions, more weight means more gain.

On reflection….all had correctly answered my question.

We know that in our country everyone who takes a pan in hand is quite capable of sauté with a little extra virgin olive oil and chopped celery carrots and onions, these things are handed down from mothers, fathers and uncles even if we are not chefs, but….many of us could really tell whether it was used the shallot or onion common? You want the answer? Nobody.

E’ only in recent years that has entered the Italian kitchens because of its particular taste that puts some dishes highlight. Its bulbs are literally identical to those of onion but of smaller size, rarely exceeds 5 cm. E’ You can find it in different colors, rosso, viola, yellow, white or gray. The most traded quality (PGI) is that of the type “Romagna”.

Onions and shallots are both perfect used as bases for pasta dishes, seconds or raw on salads, the only thing that differentiates them is that the shallot has a slightly milder flavor and at the same time with a little more aromatic aftertaste garlic.

The taste of onion as that of garlic remains persistent in the mouth, while the shallot weigh down a lesser extent our breath.

The Rice Flour in Pizzeria

The Rice Flour in Pizzeria. The rice flour is produced by grinding the fruits of “Oryza sativa” belonging to the family Poaceae. E’ a derivative by grinding the fruits of this very important plant for human consumption. these seeds, when they are used for the production of flour undergo a variety of processes which are summarized in this way:

Funding through the harvest, cleaning any residue, the husking or hulling which consists in the elimination of the embryo from its husk and kernels, and finally the bleaching of the grains. I will stop here for now, but if the final product was introduced on the market in its integral form, the processing cycle would be further elongated.

In our culture “western” the rice flour has a very limited use in the kitchen compared to wheat flour and is only thanks to its content absolutely free of gluten (a protein that causes a strong food intolerance rising sharply in recent times) “gluten-free” hence its reputation. In “East” It happens just the opposite, the rice flour is one of the most used products from the diet of these people and is present in many their recipes, I'd like to name but a few that are known and appreciated even by Westerners: the famous rice noodles and delicious sweet mochi.

The rice flour is perfect for the preparation of pasta dishes, some cakes which rise chemically (bicarbonate), in the production of some types of biscuits and for use in the production of bread unleavened. Delicious when used to coat certain types of fried and finally is often used in our kitchens as a thickener for puddings, soups and sauces.

The main features of the rice flour are the total absence of gluten, a higher content of starch compared to protein and fat, increased energy intake, low content of alimentary fibers, lower content of mineral salts except for phosphorus.

Pizzeria in the rice flour is virtually absent. I tried dozens of times to prepare a mixture exclusively with rice flour, even during our professional pizza maker courses we treat the rice flour, but certainly not exclusively for doughs made with this product. does not rise. The final product is not a pizza, even remotely similar. Instead the addition of a small percentage of rice flour in the dough is of utility(2-3% max) to increase the strength of the flour. A good example is the now famous “Romanian Pinsa“, the mixture for the mixture of this pizza contains a small percentage of rice flour.
