Fried Parmigiano Bowls. Baking or frying cheese usually brings out a much stronger flavor than the raw cheese has. That’s why the Asiago cheese crisps made a plain roast beef sandwich something special. With a little care, frying also lets you play Willie Wonka, and make edible salad bowls out of parmigiano reggiano. Ingredients parmigiano reggiano (or any hard cheese) Directions This one is really simple to describe — there are only three steps — but takes a bit of practice to get it just right. Grate the cheese. Place a ramekin or small bowl upside-down on a plate. Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese into a medium-hot non-stick pan with a sloping side. Cook until most of the cheese starts bubbling. Use the tip of a spatula to pull the edges in a little bit so the edge looks more like an edge, instead of looking like lace. The lace look is actually very pretty, but really hard to do on purpose. Slide the cheese in one piece out onto the upside-down bowl or ramekin you set out before you started.

And that’s it. Ingredients. Beef Taco Skillet. Not Your Mama’s Meatballs. February 14, 2007 | By Adam Roberts | 24 Comments I wanted something simple. Specifically, I wanted spaghetti and meatballs. I’d never made spaghetti and meatballs before and last night was going to be the night. But then I opened Lydia Bastianich’s book, “Lydia’s Family Table,” and after looking up meatballs in the index I found her recipe for “Long-Cooked Sugo and Meatballs.”

After doing more research, I discovered that spaghetti and meatballs is not an authentic Italian dish but an American Italian concession to America’s love for meat. To make sugo you must first make a soffrito: “that essential Italian technique of cooking vegetables and aromatics in fat or olive oil slowly over low heat.” What’s nice about Lydia’s recipe is that instead of chopping the two onions, the shallots, the carrots and celery she has you mince them in the food processor: Easy! So here’s my soffrito cooking over medium heat: Soon you add bay leaves, tomato paste, and a 35-oz can of San Marzano plum tomatoes: Italian Supreme Calzones. When I visit my Chief Culinary Consultant we often grab a “take and bake” pizza from Safeway that is absolutely delicious. It’s a supreme pizza that includes Italian sausage, pepperoni, peppers, onions, and black olives.

There may be even more on there that I can’t remember, but it’s by far the best pre-made pizza I have ever had (which is surprising because I usually don’t like olives at all, but I enjoy the whole of this pizza). I remembered that I had pizza dough in the freezer from awhile back, but I wasn’t feeling an actual pizza (shocking, I know); I wanted something different. It then occurred to me that I still hadn’t made calzones, so that solved my dilemma, calzones it was! The base of this recipe is my favorite homemade pizza dough – it creates a crisp crust with a warm and chewy interior. I chose not to put my pizza sauce in the calzones to keep the crust from getting soggy (although I don’t think this would be an issue) and instead served it on the side for dipping.

Best Steak Marinade in Existence Recipe. Caramelized Onion and Spinach Focaccia. Ricetta Caesar salad. Difficoltà:Bassa Preparazione:15 min Dosi per:4 persone La Caesar salad è una celebre insalata creata dallo chef italiano Cesare Cardini, emigrato negli Stati Uniti dopo la prima guerra mondiale e vissuto a San Diego; nel 1924 Cesare apre e gestisce un ristorante a Tijuana, in Messico, dove crea questa insalata che diverrà molto famosa negli Stati Uniti e in seguito anche in Europa.

Nella Caesar salad Cardini vuole unire sapori tipici italiani come il parmigiano, la lattuga romana e l’olio extravergine di oliva, e sapori americani come la salsa Worcestershire che viene usata per il condimento dell’insalata.

If there are any structural flaws to the standard backyard barbecue event (or as we do it in NYC, the standard rooftop barbecue event) it is that plates, forks and standing don’t go well together, especially if you are carrying a beer, or say, a Pimm’s cup, and let’s be honest–when am I not? Sure, we’ve overcome this issue with various bunnage, from hotdogs to burgers and kielbasa, but outside the meat, veggie burger and salads-that-can-be-scooped departments, you’re still SOOL if you crave vegetables while standing.

Alex and I have been getting around it this summer with the not-exactly-revolutionary use of skewers, but this doesn’t mean they have to be boring. We’ve done kielbasa slices with peppers and onions, smothered in spicy mustard and mixed vegetables with my mom’s balsamic/soy/garlic marinade. Aw, shucks: Please don’t go!

Pineapple Rice Recipe. I've been to Hawaii two times. Once when I was sixteen, and again when I was twenty. Once to Maui, once to Kona. I remember it being lush and vibrant, achingly beautiful. The more miles you put between yourself and the resort areas, the better it got. I think I'd like to go back at some point, so when I realized there was an Edible Hawaiian Islands publication I subscribed to it with the hope that I'd discover farms, producers, markets and restaurants to seek out when we finally get around to going.

The latest issue arrived in the mail the other night, and while flipping through it, I came across a recipe for a pineapple rice salad. I used canned pineapple here along with the juice from the can, if you have access to good, fresh pineapple I encourage you to use that in the dressing. If you're looking for alternate ways to play with these ingredients, I should also mention I did an egg-fried rice version of this with the leftovers that really hit the spot.

Start by making the dressing. Asparagus Stir-Fry Recipe. Someone crashed into my car the other night. Not just once, multiple times. I tell you this not because I'm upset about my car - quite frankly, I hardly ever drive it. I'm more annoyed that I have to take it for a quote, and then get it repaired. My first car appointment is scheduled at the same time I typically visit the farmers' market. Which doesn't seem like a crisis, I know, but I depleted our asparagus stash making this stir-fry and was counting on a fresh fix. I should note a few things here. I mention this up above in the main post, but be sure you have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start actually stir-frying. Have all your ingredients prepped and within arms reach of the stove. Add another (generous) splash of oil to the pan and, as soon as it is hot, add the onions, ginger, red pepper flakes, asparagus, and salt. Remove from heat and stir in the mint and basil.
