HOT-SMOKED SALMON: Danish Style Take-away Lunch
Mhhh smager godt!!!
(by Candi) Anche se la missione danese non è ancora compiuta (il nostro primo scambio culinario è programmato per mercoledì), ho almeno in parte soddisfatto uno dei miei obbiettivi: provare la øllebrød, una specie di porridge preparato con avanzi di rugbrød (pane di segale) e birra hvidtøl. Even if our Danish mission hasn't been accomplished yet (our first culinary exchange is set for Wednesday), at least I've achieved one of my goals: I've finnaly tried øllebrød, a kind of porridge made of ryebread scraps and hvidtøl (sweet dark beer with malty aroma). As Candi wrote below, this autumn’s first gloomy Sunday came and along with it the inevitable Italian soup with passatelli – a fluffy kind of pasta made of grated parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, eggs and nutmeg.
Living with an Italian, I have become a regular member of the mandatory Sunday family lunch club, a concept that probably only southern Europeans are very familiar with! No matter what age you are, as an Italian (or in my case living with one), you just know that Sunday is not worthy its name unless you make presence at the family lunch! And this autumn’s first cold and rainy Sunday was no exception. As we gathered around the dining table, Grandma, better known as the family’s queen of the kitchen, brought this steaming hot bowl on the table, its fumes effortlessly conquering the air, filling my nostrils with its delicate, yet seducing scent. I will never forget the very first time I was introduced to this simple, yet absolutely delicious dish. Being a cheese lover, parmesan cheese was no mystery to me, but to have pasta made mostly of parmesan cheese, now that was a newsflash and quite delightful one too! Of course I loved it! I had two platefuls! So, as soon as the cold gets to you, make sure to try out the passatelli soup recipe that will warm your body and soul right to the core! (by Sanja)
Probabilmente se non si è nati qui, non si può capire quanto siano buoni: questa è una minestra quasi inconsistente, soffice, che viene intrisa dal brodo esaltando il sapore del parmigiano! se non li avete ancora preparati, fatelo, vi ho dato la ricetta, e quella ricetta non sbaglia! e se non avete il ferro da passatelli, fatevi un giro in un qualche mercatino di paese e ne troverete uno per pochi eurini. Certo, c'è chi li prepara con lo schiacciapatate, ma acquistano un'altra consistenza, perchè diventano dei vermicelli perfettamente cilindrici e tutti uguale (ed anche troppo lunghi) ed alla fine lo sposalizio col brodo non è perfetto, almeno non per gli integralisti come me ;)
Avevo chiesto alla mia socia un'opinione neutrale sul passatello visto e assaggiato da occhi e palato danese, per avere una prospettiva imparziale, chissà se lo farà...voi comunque potete farlo by Candi |
