To make Italian Braciole you can use a steak flank, pork filet or pork chop without the bones. Whatever meat you choose, I highly suggest cutting in a thin layer and to tenderize it before making your Braciole. For this recipe I suggest beef flank steak, they are perfect to make an Italian Beef Braciole.
There are different ways to make Ratatouille and also there are different recipes for Ratatouille. You can make it with the different type of vegetables. Most of the Ratatouille recipes are using the tomatoes has a base. Some purist will cook all the ingredients separately. Then they will add them together into a pot. They will finish cooking them very slowly in order to get a very smooth texture. Like any of my recipes, I adapt it to fit my taste. I also cook it differently in order to get a very deep flavor of my chosen ingredients. That is why I came up with this recipe and in this article, I will explain how to make Ratatouille-Bruschetta. I love it because it mixes two of my favorite dish. I hope you will like it too.
According to Wikipedia; Rollatini (sometimes also spelled rollatini or rolletini or Involtini) is an Italian-style dish that is usually made with thin slices of eggplant, which are dusted in wheat flour or lightly breaded and covered with ricotta and often other cheeses and seasonings, then rolled up and baked. Alternatively, veal, chicken, or fish may be used in place of the eggplant. I prefer eggplants because it’s my favorite vegetable.
It is a ball of ground meat, fish or vegetables. It is covered with flour or breadcrumbs and then fried in oil.
Easy. You can make any kind of Polpette, as long as you have enough imagination and you know how to pair ingredients. The sky is the limit! My kids love meatballs, but since I am trying to be a good mom, I am reinventing recipes to make my kids eat more vegetables. So I decided to make meatballs without meat for my kids! LOL
A meat shank is the portion of meat around the tibia of the animal, the leg bone beneath the knee. Lamb shanks are often braised whole. This meat can be found throughout the year, but usually around the holidays, they are much cheaper.
Broccoli is a super-food just like kale, a super antioxidant! Broccoli has vitamins K and C, it is a good source of folate, and also provides potassium and fiber. I know many people don’t like it, especially kids. I remember when my daughter Nina was 8 months old, she loved broccoli! However, she stopped eating it after turning two. Well, you know what, I decided to incorporate it into her favorite cheese pasta, and ever since all our kids ask for this dish at least once a week. We even used that sauce on our homemade pizza once. Wow! Usually, we have leftovers after a pizza night, but that night there was nothing left!
Did it ever happen to you that you want to eat something new but you don’t know what? Well, that happened to me the other day. I looked into the caverns of my fridge and found two poor zucchinis and one big eggplant screaming at me, “WE NEED TO BE EATEN AND SOON!”. So I came up with the idea to create a vessel to rescue my poor vegetables. I based this tasty eggplant recipe on one of my favorite dishes called Rollatini. If you are looking for a vegetarian recipe that tastes great, this is it.
Did you know that the most ordered dish in an Italian restaurant is a lasagna? And do you know why? Because a good homemade lasagna takes time. You need to boil the water, cook the pasta, dry the pasta, prepare the sauce, prepare the béchamel sauce if you want any, and shred all the cheeses. So yes, a classic lasagna takes a lot of time. Between the job and the kids, our time is usually in short supply, so I keep trying to reproduce classical recipes in a way that would be faster to prepare.
There are still quite a few steps that need to be done, but wherever I could save time, I found a way without sacrificing the taste. I hope you will enjoy it as much as my family enjoyed it.
