E' da una settimana che ho voglia di Nutella, ma non solo della crema, di qualcosa di dolce con la Nutella, non potevo quindi non provarla anche con questi dolcetti. Se l'amate, la Nutella, non potete non adorare anche questi, sofficissimi anche il giorno dopo e troppo golosi con un cuore morbido e nutelloso!&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 14 muffin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farina - 120gr di zucchero - 120gr di burro morbido - 2 uova - 2 cucchiaini e mezzo di lievito per dolci - 150gr di latte - 250gr di nutella + 1 cucchiaino per ogni muffin&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In una ciotola mescolare assieme farina, zucchero e lievito. In un'altra ciotola sbattere il burro con le uova, aggiungere la nutella, versarvi quindi la miscela di farina e zucchero e per ultimo il latte, mescolando velocemente. Versare l'impasto in uno stampo per muffin, imburrato o rivestito dai pirottini di carta, quindi in ogni muffin versare al centro un cucchiaino abbondante di Nutella avendo cura di "farlo affondare" un poco. Infornare a 180° per 20 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408820124767751330" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sw_9Pw7EDKI/AAAAAAAABwc/A8WRym51rLs/s400/Nutella+muffin_02.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sw_8y4O5odI/AAAAAAAABwM/ebuo6U-OMXs/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408819628513796562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sw_8y4O5odI/AAAAAAAABwM/ebuo6U-OMXs/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sw_84QXU7oI/AAAAAAAABwU/YLsqFsXcCmo/s1600/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408819720890936962" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sw_84QXU7oI/AAAAAAAABwU/YLsqFsXcCmo/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nutella muffins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Who usually reads me knows that every two or three recipes there's one with muffins, so there's no such surprise that I've posted another one, but these really are the best I've ever made. I've been craving for Nutella for a week, but I didn't wanted to eat the cream only, I wanted to eat it in a dessert, so I had to try it with muffins. If you love Nutella, you'll adore these ones, super spongy even the day after and with a tasty "nutellish" heart!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 14&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) flour - 120gr (0.52cup-4.2oz) sugar - 120gr (0.52cup-4.2oz) butter, softened - 2 eggs - 2tsp baking powder - 150gr (0.7cup-5.3oz) milk - 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) Nutella + 1tsp for each muffin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mix together flour, sugar and baking powder. In another bowl whisk butter with eggs, add Nutella, the flour mixture and finally milk. If you are using muffin cases, arrange them in the tins and spoon the mixture into them; alternatively, spoon the mixture straight into the greased tins. Place in each muffin a teaspoon (be generous!) of Nutella, and "push it" a little towards the centre. Bake at 180°C (350F - gas mark 4) for 20 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-2318509376518431540?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/2318509376518431540/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/nutella-muffin.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/2318509376518431540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/2318509376518431540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/nutella-muffin.html' title='Nutella muffin'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sw_9aX-qrkI/AAAAAAAABwk/HN5MfQ3MDTo/s72-c/Nutella+muffin_01_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-582982207339012726</id><published>2009-11-18T10:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T10:08:28.788+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torte - Cakes'/><title type='text'>Torta di grano saraceno</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO06cMDyNI/AAAAAAAABus/OmEAm_5V0jk/s1600/Torta+grano+saraceno_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405362893866911954" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO06cMDyNI/AAAAAAAABus/OmEAm_5V0jk/s400/Torta+grano+saraceno_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Questa volta non è opera mia. O meglio, questa volta sono stata una mera esecutrice, perché la ricetta è di &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/cristinami"&gt;Cristina&lt;/a&gt;. La torta di grano saraceno (Schwarzplententorte) viene preparata dalla Lüneburger Heide (Bassa Sassonia, Germania) fino all'Alto Adige, è una torta molto sostanziosa dove ogni ingrediente ha lo stesso peso, ed è l'ideale per una merenda o come completamento di un pasto un pò rustico. La mia è venuta un pò bruttina, si è gonfiata al centro e l'ho anche tagliata male ma il sapore ha fatto dimenticare il suo aspetto. Normalmente viene servita con panna montata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farina di grano saraceno - 250gr di burro morbido - 250gr di zucchero semolato - 250g di mandorle senza pellicina, tritate finemente - 6 uova - qualche cucchiaio di latte - 400gr di marmellata di mirtillo rosso - zucchero al velo q.b.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Montare a crema il burro con lo zucchero, quindi aggiungere i tuorli d'uovo uno alla volta, continuando a montare. Aggiungere gradatamente le mandorle, la farina e il latte. Montare gli albumi a neve fermissima e incorporarli delicatamente all'impasto. Imburrare una tortiera a cerchio di 26cm di diametro, versarvi l'impasto e infornare a 170° per circa 45-50 minuti. Sfornare e lasciar raffreddare la torta. Rovesciarla su un piatto a testa in giù e con un coltello tagliarla a metà longitudinalmente. Trasferire la parte di sotto su di una altro piatto, farcirla con la marmellata di mirtilli rossi e riassemblare la torta premendo leggermente lo strato superiore. Cospargere di zucchero a velo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO0hNG2nFI/AAAAAAAABuc/6AEZt7AvBWk/s1600/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405362460321815634" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO0hNG2nFI/AAAAAAAABuc/6AEZt7AvBWk/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO0l4MCVWI/AAAAAAAABuk/MDBonM4kETI/s1600/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405362540605756770" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO0l4MCVWI/AAAAAAAABuk/MDBonM4kETI/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Buckwheat cake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This time it's not my work. This time I'm just a simple executor, because the recipe is from &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/cristinami"&gt;Cristina&lt;/a&gt;. The buckwheat cake (Schwarzplententorte) is prepared from Lüneburger Heide (Low Saxony, Germany) to Alto Adige, it's a very nourishing cake where each ingredient has the same weight and it's perfect for tea time, an afternoon snack or as a dessert after a simple and genuine meal. My cake this time is not so nice, it rised too much in the centre and I didn't cut it properly, but its taste made me forget its look. It is normally served with whipping cream. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) buckwheat flour - 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) butter, softened - 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) sugar - 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) ground almonds -6 eggs - milk, few tbs  - 400gr (1.75cup - 14oz) cranberry jam - icing sugar as needed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then add egg yolks one at a time. Add almonds, buckwheat flour and milk, stirring. In a bowl whisk the egg whites to the stiff peak stage and pour into the mixture, delicately. Now grease a round tin of 26cm (10inch) diameter, spread the cake mixture evenly in the cake tin, then bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 45-50 minutes at 170° C (325°F, gas mark 3). Cool down and remove the cake from the tin. Now, using a bread knife, cut it into two slices lengthways then place the bottom slice right way up on a serving plate. Spread this slice with the cranberry jam and re-assemble the cake, pressing the top layer down lightly. Dust with icing sugar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-582982207339012726?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/582982207339012726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/torta-di-grano-saraceno.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/582982207339012726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/582982207339012726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/torta-di-grano-saraceno.html' title='Torta di grano saraceno'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SwO06cMDyNI/AAAAAAAABus/OmEAm_5V0jk/s72-c/Torta+grano+saraceno_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-774652863501926322</id><published>2009-11-11T18:15:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-11T18:18:44.463+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Secondi - Main Courses'/><title type='text'>Pollo al latte e zafferano</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrwL5Ts1zI/AAAAAAAABuE/AoJqFAqMgXI/s1600-h/Pollo+latte+e+zafferano_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402894790137009970" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrwL5Ts1zI/AAAAAAAABuE/AoJqFAqMgXI/s400/Pollo+latte+e+zafferano_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Una sera per cena avevo da cucinare dei petti di pollo, volevo fare qualcosa di diverso dal solito senza perderci troppo tempo. E' così che è nato questo piatto, uno degli esperimenti più riusciti nella sezione "qualcosa di veramente buono in dieci minuti" ;-) . Il latte rende il pollo tenerissimo e lo zafferano gli dà quel tocco in più. Provare per credere.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 4 persone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 500gr di petti di pollo - un cucchiaio di burro - 1 bustina di zafferano in polvere - 1 bicchiere di latte - 1 cucchiaio scarso di Worcestershire sauce - farina q.b. - sale - pepe. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tagliare a pezzi i petti di pollo e pestarli con il pestacarne. In un piatto versare un pò di farina, adagiarvi i petti di pollo, salare, pepare ed infarinarli per bene. Far sciogliere il burro in una larga padella e, appena inizia a sfrigolare cuocere i petti di pollo a fuoco vivace. Girarli, quindi spruzzarvi la Worcestershire sauce. Sciogliere lo zafferano nel latte intiepidito e versarlo sui petti di pollo. Terminare la cottura a fuoco alto e far rapprendere un poco la salsa. Servire subito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrvvlEq9aI/AAAAAAAABt0/9oOsAVlsGsY/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402894303668925858" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrvvlEq9aI/AAAAAAAABt0/9oOsAVlsGsY/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Svrv1px6GZI/AAAAAAAABt8/nXkjNxpiuJY/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402894408011618706" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Svrv1px6GZI/AAAAAAAABt8/nXkjNxpiuJY/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Milk and saffron chicken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I once had to cook for dinner some chicken breasts, I wanted to make something different without loosing too much time. That's how this dish was born, one of the best experiments in the section "something really good in ten minutes" ;-) . Milk makes chicken very tender and saffron gives it that final touch. Give it a try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Serves 4&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 500gr (2.2cup - 17.6oz) chicken breasts - 1 tbs butter - ½tsp saffron - 1cup milk - ¾tbs Worcestershire sauce - flour - salt - pepper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut chicken breasts into pieces and beat them with a meat pounder. Put some flour, seasoned with salt and pepper, on to a plate then dip the chicken. Warm up milk, pour in saffron and set aside. Now place a frying pan on medium heat and melt butter, when starts frying add chicken and start cooking, about 1 minute on each side. When you've done this, add Worcestershire sauce, then milk. Keep cooking at high heat for 2 minutes or until the sauce is glossy. Serve immediately.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-774652863501926322?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/774652863501926322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/pollo-al-latte-e-zafferano.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/774652863501926322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/774652863501926322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/11/pollo-al-latte-e-zafferano.html' title='Pollo al latte e zafferano'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvrwL5Ts1zI/AAAAAAAABuE/AoJqFAqMgXI/s72-c/Pollo+latte+e+zafferano_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-5903464858458815773</id><published>2009-11-06T17:20:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T17:38:18.203+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi - Events'/><title type='text'>La spaghettata Voiello</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvRMzTrT0eI/AAAAAAAABts/ua0M59FqeYs/s1600-h/4077578444_ed703f6ba1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401026297463034338" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SvRMzTrT0eI/AAAAAAAABts/ua0M59FqeYs/s400/4077578444_ed703f6ba1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mercoledì 4 novembre si è svolta a Milano la prima &lt;a href="http://blog.voiello.it/iniziative-voiello/la-spaghettata-voiello-a-milano-il-piacere-di-stare-insieme/"&gt;spaghettata Voiello&lt;/a&gt;, una serata dedicata alla food photography e al piacere di stare insieme gustando dei piatti di ottima pasta.

Una serata molto piacevole, grazie alla splendida organizzazione e alla compagnia di una cinquantina di persone accomunate dalle stesse passioni: il piacere della buona tavola, la convivialità e la fotografia, anche a livelli non professionali.

&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Eccomi qui, appena in tempo per pubblicare anch'io una ricetta di Halloween. L'anno scorso ho preparato delle &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2008/10/halloween-cupcakes.html"&gt;cupcakes&lt;/a&gt;, questa volta mi sono impegnata di meno e, tanto per cambiare, ho fatto dei muffin, il mio chiodo fisso. Ho usato però la zucca, ingrediente fondamentale, che dà ai dolci un'incredibile morbidezza e li colora anche di giallo. Questi muffin sono piuttosto speziati e poco dolci, quindi se amate "sentire" lo zucchero aumentato un pochino la dose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 300gr di zucca (peso senza semi e buccia) - 300gr di farina - 160gr di burro - 2 cucchiaini e ½ di lievito per dolci - 150gr di zucchero di canna - 2 cucchiaini di cannella in polvere - 1 cucchiaino di noce moscata grattugiata - 2 uova - 100ml di latte &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Pulire la zucca e cuocerla a vapore (o al forno se preferite). Ridurla in crema schiacciandola con una forchetta. Mescolare assieme in una ciotola farina, lievito, zucchero, cannella e noce moscata. In un altra sbattere velocemente il burro ammorbidito con le uova, la zucca e aggiungere per ultimo il latte. Mescolare assieme ingredienti secchi e liquidi con un cucchiaio. Riempire con il composto uno stampo per muffin imburrato e cuocere in forno caldo a 180° per 20 minuti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397693518147253954" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1qBOYdsI/AAAAAAAABqo/Jp1LuaSY_CE/s400/Muffin+zucca02_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1PEEthRI/AAAAAAAABqg/TuxU0AnJtrE/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397693055055529234" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1PEEthRI/AAAAAAAABqg/TuxU0AnJtrE/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1KnhnFuI/AAAAAAAABqY/O-A-YxN1ZAQ/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397692978672637666" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1KnhnFuI/AAAAAAAABqY/O-A-YxN1ZAQ/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Spicy pumpkin muffin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I am, just in time to publish a Halloween recipe. Last year I made &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2008/10/halloween-cupcakes.html"&gt;cupcakes&lt;/a&gt;, this time I didn't work too hard and baked muffins, again. I used pumpkin though, key ingredient, which makes cakes incredibly spongy and, of course, it colours them yellow. These muffins are quite spicy and not very sweet, so if you like to "feel" sugar, add some more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 300gr (1.3cup - 10.6oz) pumpkin (without skin and seeds) - 300gr flour - 160gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) butter - 2½tsp baking powder - 150gr (0.66cup - 5.3 oz) brown sugar - 2tsp cinnamon powder - 1tsp ground nutmeg - 2 eggs - 100ml (3.5oz) milk.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Steam pumpkin, then smash it with a fork. In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. In another bowl whisk butter with eggs, then add pumpkin and finally milk. Mix together dry and liquid ingredients, then spoon poon the mixture into a greased muffin tin (or with paper cups) and bake at 180° C (350F - gas mark 4) for about 20 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-7519338176674154851?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/7519338176674154851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/muffin-di-zucca-speziati.html#comment-form' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7519338176674154851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7519338176674154851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/muffin-di-zucca-speziati.html' title='Muffin di zucca speziati'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Suh1vjXhzAI/AAAAAAAABqw/OgYvMHAsnX4/s72-c/Muffin+zucca01_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-351480087951689893</id><published>2009-10-23T12:00:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T12:12:58.386+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biscotti - Biscuits'/><title type='text'>Biscotti con cioccolato al latte</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9sRmJtmI/AAAAAAAABqQ/D9ZTR8SOxLs/s1600-h/Milk+choc+cookies_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395732028157703778" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9sRmJtmI/AAAAAAAABqQ/D9ZTR8SOxLs/s400/Milk+choc+cookies_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sembrano i classici chocolate chip cookies, in realtà sono ancora più golosi perché hanno tra gli ingredienti anche il cioccolato al latte. Come tutti i biscotti a goccia sono facili e veloci da preparare, cuociono anche in pochi minuti e, se non li mangiate tutti subito, si conservano bene per qualche giorno in una scatola di latta. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farina - 160gr di burro - 160gr di cioccolato al latte - 120 gr di zucchero - 1 uovo - ½ cucchiaino di lievito per dolci - 2 cucchiaini di estratto naturale di vaniglia - 100gr di gocce di cioccolato fondente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Setacciare la farina con il lievito. Montare il burro morbido con lo zucchero, aggiungere l'uovo e l'essenza di vaniglia. Far sciogliere il cioccolato al latte a bagnomaria, quindi amalgamarlo delicatamente all'impasto.

Formare delle palline con il palmo delle mani, schiacciarle leggermente su una placca da forno imburrata o rivestita di carta forno e infornare a 170° per 10 minuti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9abHYQHI/AAAAAAAABqI/TNUmcc3XBx0/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395731721475342450" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9abHYQHI/AAAAAAAABqI/TNUmcc3XBx0/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9WtQTc7I/AAAAAAAABqA/UbLThkSbuuE/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395731657625138098" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SuF9WtQTc7I/AAAAAAAABqA/UbLThkSbuuE/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Milk chocolate cookies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;They look like regular chocolate chip cookies but they're not, they're really more tasty because I used milk chocolate this time. Just as all drop cookies they're easy to make, they cook in few minutes and, if you don't eat them all, they're easy preserved in a tin box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1.125cup - 9oz) flour - 160gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) butter - 160gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) milk chocolate - 120gr (½cup-4oz) sugar - 1 egg - ½tsp baking powder - 2tsp natural vanilla extract - 100gr (½cup-3.5oz) dark chocolate drops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sift flour with baking powder. Whisk butter with sugar until creamy, then add egg and vanilla extract. Place milk chocolate in a large, heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of barely simmering water, and allow the chocolate to melt, then stir until smooth. Add it to the mixture, together with flour and chocolate drops, stir till thoroughly blended. Now form with dough small lumps and roll them into rounds using the flat of your hand. Place them on a tray and press gently to flatten them out into rounds.

Anche questi sono molto saporiti e leggermente piccanti, perfetti per un aperitivo. Hanno un solo difetto: finiscono subito!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 16-18 biscotti&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 120gr di farina - 50gr di pecorino - 1 cucchiaino di pepe nero macinato - 70gr di burro - 1 cucchiaio di acqua - sesamo a piacere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mettere in un mixer la farina, il burro freddo a pezzetti, il pecorino grattugiato e il pepe. Azionare alla massima velocità e, una volta che l'impasto avrà assunto l'aspetto di grosse briciole, versare l'acqua in modo da ottenere un impasto che si raccolga in una palla e lasci le pareti del mixer pulite. Avvolgerlo con della pellicola e lasciarlo riposare in frigorifero per un paio d'ore. Trascorso questo tempo, stendere l'impasto con un mattarello ad uno spesso di circa 6-7mm, quindi cospargerlo con semi di sesamo e stendere ancora con il mattarello. Ritagliare dei biscotti con lo stampo che preferite, quindi sitemarli su una placca da forno rivestita di carta forno o imburrata. Cuocere per 12 minuti in forno caldo a 180°C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4dsGKCK2I/AAAAAAAABpw/63T_pSDZTTo/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390278447413209954" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4dsGKCK2I/AAAAAAAABpw/63T_pSDZTTo/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4dnH5IYyI/AAAAAAAABpo/xf6ttfEdnQk/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390278361979839266" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4dnH5IYyI/AAAAAAAABpo/xf6ttfEdnQk/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Cheese and pepper biscuits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;After the &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/02/biscotti-al-parmigiano-e-pate-di-olive.html"&gt;biscuits with parmesan and olives pâté&lt;/a&gt; success, I've decided to make some more experiments. These biscuits are really tasty and spicy, simply perfect as an appetizer. They have only one defect: they end up too soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 16-18 biscuits&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 120gr (½cup-4oz) flour - 50gr (0.2cup - 1.7oz) pecorino romano- 1tsp black pepper - 70gr (0.3cup - 2.5oz) butter - 1 tbs water - sesame seeds as needed&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Place cold butter, flour, grated pecorino and pepper in a food processor and give it a whiz till it resembles crumbs, then add a tablespoon of water till the dough will come together in a way that leaves the processor fairly clean. Put in the fridge in a polythene bag for 2 hours. After this time, roll out the dough 6-7mm (0.2inch) thick. Spread over it the sesame seeds and roll out a little bit more. Now cut out the biscuits with a cutter, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 180°C (350F) for 12 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3446407095110371806?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3446407095110371806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/biscottini-cacio-e-pepe.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3446407095110371806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3446407095110371806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/10/biscottini-cacio-e-pepe.html' title='Biscottini cacio e pepe'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Ss4d0qjZc8I/AAAAAAAABp4/gwHbwx51X9o/s72-c/Biscotti+cacio+e+pepe_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-5557022390282131248</id><published>2009-09-21T19:07:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-21T19:10:30.940+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conserve - preserves'/><title type='text'>Confettura di pere e susine nere</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SrextylAMvI/AAAAAAAABpg/qPxmnA-uB54/s1600-h/Confettura+pere%2Bsusine+nere_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383967279773922034" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SrextylAMvI/AAAAAAAABpg/qPxmnA-uB54/s400/Confettura+pere%2Bsusine+nere_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Ho preparato questa confettura ad agosto, ed ho aspettato forse un pò troppo a pubblicare la ricetta, ora sarà senz'altro più difficile trovare delle susine nere. Se riusciste a trovarle, provarla merita davvero, la cannella e il cardamomo le conferiscono una "speziosità" unica: io da sola ho fatto fuori un vasetto in men che non si dica, ed ora mi dispiace di averne preparata davvero troppo poca!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 1,2kg tra pere e susine nere in parti uguali (peso senza buccia, noccioli e semini) - 400gr di zucchero - 2 cucchiaini di cannella in polvere - 6 bacche di cardamomo verde.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Aprire le bacche di cardamomo, estrarne i semini e pestarli finemente al mortaio. Sbucciare pere e susine, privarle di torsolo e nocciolo, tagliarle a tocchetti, metterle in una pentola e aggiungere lo zucchero, la cannella e il cardamomo. Porre la pentola sul fuoco ed iniziare la cottura a fuoco vivace, mescolando. Dopo 10-15 minuti abbassare la fiamma e proseguire la cottura per un'altra mezz'ora circa, avendo cura di mescolare di tanto in tanto. Trasferire subito la confettura nei vasetti (tre di media grandezza), chiuderli bene e capovolgerli per qualche minuto. Lasciar raffreddare completamente prima di etichettare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Srerhjt3ZcI/AAAAAAAABpQ/621KvAJzqbI/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383960472556365250" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Srerhjt3ZcI/AAAAAAAABpQ/621KvAJzqbI/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SreroHPzN2I/AAAAAAAABpY/whUqasIorlM/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383960585173153634" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SreroHPzN2I/AAAAAAAABpY/whUqasIorlM/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pear and black plums preserve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I prepared this preserve in august, and I've waited maybe too long to post this recipe, now it will be more difficult for you to find black plums. If you'll manage to find them, you really should try it, cinnamon and cardamom give the preserve a unique "spicyness". I've personally eat up one jar in no time, and now I'm so sorry that I have only few jars left!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 1.2kg pears and black plums (5.25cup - 42oz) cored and peeled - 400gr (1.75cup - 14oz) sugar - 2tsp cinnamon powder - 6 cardamom pods&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Open cardamom pods, take out the seeds and crush them in a mortar. Peel and core pears and plums (weigh them once you've done this) and place them in a casserole with sugar, cinnamon and cardamom. Place the pan over a medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring, then lower it. Let the mixture boil for about 30 minutes, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking. Pour it, still hot, into jars (three, medium size) seal them and turn upside down for few minutes. Wait until the preserve is completely cold, then label the jars.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-5557022390282131248?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/5557022390282131248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/09/confettura-di-pere-e-susine-nere.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/5557022390282131248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/5557022390282131248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/09/confettura-di-pere-e-susine-nere.html' title='Confettura di pere e susine nere'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SrextylAMvI/AAAAAAAABpg/qPxmnA-uB54/s72-c/Confettura+pere%2Bsusine+nere_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-3405287971644434127</id><published>2009-09-09T00:20:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-09T12:25:11.283+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Muffin con pesche e yogurt</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sqd_mp8rPcI/AAAAAAAABpI/J4HcVV7HM6g/s1600-h/Muffin%2302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379408581989449154" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sqd_mp8rPcI/AAAAAAAABpI/J4HcVV7HM6g/s400/Muffin%2302.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Già da una settimana qui al nord le temperature sono finalmente più miti, il che mi ha permesso di accendere il forno senza dover fuggire dalla cucina e di rifare, ieri, questi muffin sperimentati con successo nel mese di agosto. Tra i miei migliori tentativi devo dire, sofficissimi e molto profumati, sono spariti in neanche due giorni e ho dovuto rifarli a grande richiesta. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 16 muffin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;250g di farina - 2 cucchiaino e ½ di lievito - 120g di burro - 2 uova - 180g di zucchero - 1 vasetto di yogurt naturale (125gr) - 1 cucchiaino e ½ di cannella in polvere - 4 cucchiai di latte - 300gr di pesche (peso senza buccia e nocciolo).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Preriscaldare il forno a 180° ed imburrare uno stampo per muffin o rivestirlo con i pirottini di carta. Mescolare assieme gli ingredienti secchi: farina, zucchero, cannella e lievito. Ora invece gli ingredienti liquidi: il burro lasciato ammorbidire, le uova, lo yogurt e il latte. Unire assieme i composti e mescolare velocemente con un cucchiaio. Infine tagliare a tocchetti le pesche ed aggiungerle all'impasto. Riempire per due terzi lo stampo per muffin e cuocere per 20 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sqd9icoRshI/AAAAAAAABpA/mW7CBjbOm5Y/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379406310671495698" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sqd9icoRshI/AAAAAAAABpA/mW7CBjbOm5Y/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sqd9doeN4MI/AAAAAAAABo4/YGPLtPozPx0/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379406227951182018" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Sqd9doeN4MI/AAAAAAAABo4/YGPLtPozPx0/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Peach and yogurt muffins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It's been a week now since temperatures have lowered sensitively here in north of Italy, so I was able, finally, to turn on the oven without running off the kitchen and prepare these muffins, tried for the first time last month. I can admit that these muffins are among my best tries, spongy and fragrant, that's why they've literally disappeared in two days and had to bake them again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 16 muffins&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;250g (1.125cup - 9oz) flour - 2 ½ tsp baking powder - 120g (½cup - 4oz) butter - 2 eggs - 180g (0.8 cup - 6.3oz) sugar - 125gr (½cup - 4oz) natural yogurt - 1 ½ tsp cinnamon powder - 4tbs milk - 300gr (1.3cup - 10.6oz) peaches (without skin and stones)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Heat oven at 180°C (350°F - gas mark 4).

E allora ricominciamo con un piatto fresco, leggero e gustoso, un'insalata fatta di pochi e semplici ingredienti, che si può servire come piatto unico o anche come contorno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 4 persone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farro - 200gr di fagioli borlotti lessati - circa 20 pomodorini ciliegia - 2 spicchi d'aglio - una manciata di foglie di basilico - olio extravergine di oliva - sale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Lessare il farro in acqua salata seguendo le indicazioni riportate sulla confezione (in genere bastano 20 min. in pentola a pressione o 40 min. in pentola normale). Scolare e lasciar raffreddare. Intanto lavare ed asciugare i pomodorini, tagliarli in quattro spicchi in una larga ciotola, salare e aggiungere un cucchiaio d'olio. Pulire gli spicchi d'aglio e tagliarli a fettine o, se preferite, spremerli con lo spremiaglio. Lavare e asciugare le foglie di basilico, tritarlo finemente e mescolarlo ai pomodori, assieme all'aglio. Aggiungere infine i fagioli e il farro. Condire con olio extravergine di oliva e riporre in frigo per un paio d'ore prima di servire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372837367361057202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SpAnHn2AMbI/AAAAAAAABoo/9f5MSwBoAjI/s400/Ins_farro%2302.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SpAmRekcoRI/AAAAAAAABoY/VvWc11tdmR0/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372836437158568210" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 15px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SpAmRekcoRI/AAAAAAAABoY/VvWc11tdmR0/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SpAmZ2USp5I/AAAAAAAABog/4ArRpR11u0g/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372836580972210066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 16px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SpAmZ2USp5I/AAAAAAAABog/4ArRpR11u0g/s200/United+States.1.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Spelt salad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It's been quite a long time since last post, but with this terrible heat this year I didn't feel like testing and cooking new recipes. So let's start with a fresh, light and tasty dish, a salad made with few, basic ingredients, that can be served as an all-in-one course or even a side dish.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Serves 4&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1cup - 8oz) spelt - 200gr (0.8cup - 7oz) borlotti (or pinto) beans, already boiled - about 20 cherry tomatoes - 2 garlic cloves - a handful of basil leaves - extravirgin olive oil - salt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Cook spelt following the instructions on the package (normally 20 min. with a pressure cooker and 40 min. with a standard one). Drain and cool down. Now wash and drain tomatoes, cut them in four and put them in a bowl, add salt and a tbs of oil. Peel garlic cloves, cut them into slices or, if you prefer, squeeze them. Wash and drain basil leaves, mince them, and add it to tomatoes, together with garlic. Finally, add beans and spelt. Dress with extravirgin olive oil and eventually more salt. Put it ind the fridge for two hours before serving.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-7471368831256630455?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/7471368831256630455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/08/insalata-di-farro.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7471368831256630455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/7471368831256630455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/08/insalata-di-farro.html' title='Insalata di farro'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SpAnNxrnQ9I/AAAAAAAABow/GPXNNunNR9w/s72-c/Ins_farro%2301.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-7299773232562943971</id><published>2009-07-21T18:31:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-07-21T18:36:21.760+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torte - Cakes'/><title type='text'>Ciambella al lime</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SmXtVDMUZII/AAAAAAAABoQ/cB392Ld18zg/s1600-h/Ciambella+lime%2301_resize.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360951877344453762" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SmXtVDMUZII/AAAAAAAABoQ/cB392Ld18zg/s400/Ciambella+lime%2301_resize.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;E' vero che fa caldo, ed è vero che con il caldo ho meno voglia di cucinare e meno di mangiare, ma ai dolci non rinuncio. Non solo gelati e semifreddi insomma, anche dei dolci veri e propri, e un bel ciambellone per la colazione io lo faccio anche d'estate. Per cambiare, al posto della scorza di limone o della vaniglia, ho messo il lime, un tocco un pò più estivo ed "esotico", ed utilizzato l'olio extravergine di oliva per renderlo più soffice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 350g di farina - 180g di zucchero - 80gr di olio extravergine di oliva - 300ml di latte di cocco - 16gr di lievito per dolci - 2 uova - scorza grattugiata di 4 lime - un pizzico di sale &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In una larga ciotola, montare le uova con lo zucchero, preferibilmente con uno sbattitore elettrico, finché non diventano ben chiare. Aggiungere l'olio, quindi la farina mescolata al lievito, il sale, la scorza di lime ed infine il latte di cocco. Versare il composto in uno stampo per ciambella imburrato e infornare a 170° per 45-50 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360951778692680002" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SmXtPTr5yUI/AAAAAAAABoI/zjDNuNas2YA/s400/Ciambella+lime%2302_resize.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SmXs7H-lczI/AAAAAAAABn4/M2KV7VNp4Qs/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360951431952429874" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SmXs7H-lczI/AAAAAAAABn4/M2KV7VNp4Qs/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SmXtAJv0IJI/AAAAAAAABoA/DHWKUOl9Vfs/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360951518326694034" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SmXtAJv0IJI/AAAAAAAABoA/DHWKUOl9Vfs/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Lime bundt cake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;It' true, it's hot, and when it's hot I don't feel like cooking nor eating, but I can't say no to desserts anyway. Not only ice-creams and semifreddi, but also some real cakes: I bake bundt cake for breakfast during summertime, too. To make it different, instead of lemon zest or vanilla flavour, I used lime zest, just to add an "exotic" and more summer like touch. I've also used extra virgin olive oil to make it soft and spongy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 350g (1.5cup - 12oz) flour - 180g (0.8cup - 6.4oz) sugar -80gr (0.35cup - 2.8 oz)extravirgin olive oil - 300ml (10oz) coconut milk - 16gr (3½tsp) baking powder - 2 eggs - zest of 4 limes - 1 pinch of salt&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar - better if you use a hand mixer - till they'll be quite pale. Now add oil, then flour already mixed with baking powder, salt, lime zest and finally coconut milk.

Ho pensato subito all'apple pie classica, perciò l'ho fatta seguendo più o meno quella ricetta, dico più o meno perché per l'apple pie vado sempre ad occhio. Si può fare un pò con tutti i tipi di frutta e lo zucchero nel ripieno può variare, io ne ho messo poco perché amo il gusto asprigno tipico dei frutti di bosco. Per questi ultimi ho scelto more, mirtilli, lamponi e fragoline di bosco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per la pasta:&lt;/em&gt; 300gr di farina - 180gr di burro - un pizzico di sale - acqua q.b.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per il ripieno:&lt;/em&gt; 500gr di frutti di bosco - 4 cucchiai di zucchero di canna - 100gr di farina di mandorle - 5 o 6 cucchiai di marmellata di fragole.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Preparare la pasta in un robot da cucina: versare per primi burro, farina e sale e far partire le lame. Aggiungere gradatamente un poco di acqua fredda (basterà qualche cucchiaio), quando la pasta inizierà a staccarsi dalle pareti e formerà una palla, è pronta. Avvolgerla con della pellicola e farla riposare in frigorifero per almeno mezz'ora.&lt;br /&gt;Lavare e asciugare i frutti di bosco, metterli in una ciotola con lo zucchero di canna e mescolare bene. Tirare fuori la pasta dal frigo e prelevarne ¾, quindi stenderla col mattarello su di una superficie infarinata. Rivestirvi uno stampo rotondo a cerchio di 24cm di diametro precedentemente imburrato e punzecchiare il fondo con una forchetta. Versarvi la farina di mandorle cospargendo così tutta la pasta, quindi la marmellata di fragole, facendo lo stesso. Infine, i frutti di bosco. Stendere la pasta rimasta e coprire così tutta la frutta. Sigillare bene i bordi in modo che non fuoriesca il ripieno durante la cottura e punzecchiare la superficie con la forchetta. Infornare a 180° per 40-45 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356496161875116978" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SlYY4RlPQ7I/AAAAAAAABno/Xx6qRlOvnU4/s400/Torta+frutti+di+bosco%2302_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SlYSYaHRnII/AAAAAAAABng/1BEYEy7lV40/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356489017339780226" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SlYSYaHRnII/AAAAAAAABng/1BEYEy7lV40/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SlYSNS83kTI/AAAAAAAABnY/IX01rr4UmSk/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356488826438521138" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SlYSNS83kTI/AAAAAAAABnY/IX01rr4UmSk/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Berries pie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I know, this is not a particularly original recipe, but I just wanted to eat a simple pie with berries, very fruity and little sweet. I tought about the classic apple pie, so I followed that recipe, well, more or less, because I normally don't follow any specific recipe when I make apple pie. You can choose your favourite fruits to make this pie, and you can also use more sugar, I personally like the sour berries flavour so I used a little. For the berries, I chose blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and wild stawberries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the pastry:&lt;/em&gt; 300gr flour - 180gr butter - pinch of salt - cold water as needed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the filling:&lt;/em&gt; 500gr berries - 4tbs brown sugar - 100gr almond flour - 5 or 6tbs strawberries jam&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;To prepare the pastry, use a food processor: first add flour, butter and salt and give it a whiz. Then add water (few tablespoons will be enough), process again until it forms a firm dough. Wrap it in a polythene bag and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Now wash and dry out the berries, place them in a bowl with brown sugar and stir. Now take ¾ of the pastry, roll it out and carefully line the loose base tin (24cm-9inch) already greased, pressing the pastry around the base and sides. Then prick the base with a fork, sprinkle with almond flour, pour in strawberry jam and finally berries. Roll out the remaining pastry, dampen the edge all round, then fit it over the top of the pie. Then seal the edges, folding them inwards and pressing gently to make a rim just inside the edge of the tin. Prik with a fork and bake at 180° C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-8356008955376941774?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/8356008955376941774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/07/torta-ai-frutti-di-bosco.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8356008955376941774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8356008955376941774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/07/torta-ai-frutti-di-bosco.html' title='Torta ai frutti di bosco'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SlYZBXdT1_I/AAAAAAAABnw/xjwriNCMq4o/s72-c/Torta+frutti+di+bosco%2301_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-5921251925782620183</id><published>2009-06-29T16:40:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-29T16:43:28.679+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pane - Bread'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antipasti - Appetizers'/><title type='text'>Grissini alla cipolla</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjRqUaM_UI/AAAAAAAABnQ/cmmBAn43S-w/s1600-h/Grissini%2301_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352758682093157698" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjRqUaM_UI/AAAAAAAABnQ/cmmBAn43S-w/s400/Grissini%2301_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Era veramente tanto tempo che mi ero messa in testa di fare i grissini, ma non dei grissini qualsiasi, li volevo alla cipolla. Non avendoli mai preparati prima, sono partita da una ricetta di sicuro successo, quella delle sorelle Simili dei grissini torinesi stirati. Ho modificato solo alcune cose e aggiunto, ovviamente, la cipolla. Beh, se avete tanta pazienza e resistenza al caldo, perché il forno rimarrà acceso per un paio d'ore, provateli, sono croccanti, gustosi e si possono mangiare un pò in ogni occasione: antipasto, aperitivo, al posto del pane. Volendo, la cipolla può essere sostituita da erbe aromatiche, sesamo, semi di papavero, dadini di prosciutto o ciò che preferite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 300gr di farina - 200gr di farina Manitoba - 250gr di acqua - 10gr di lievito di birra - 1 cucchiaino colmo di sale - 50gr di olio extravergine di oliva - 1 cucchiaino di malto d'orzo -1 grossa cipolla - farina di grano duro q.b.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjQCvJjuuI/AAAAAAAABm4/sUaDyXQ7HNk/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mescolare assieme le farine, l'acqua, il sale, il lievito, l'olio e il malto. Lavorare energicamente l'impasto e alla fine aggiungere la cipolla tritata finemente. Impastare ancora quindi su un piano infarinato con la farina di grano duro, dargli la forma di un rettangolo di circa 10x30cm, spennellarlo con l'olio, quindi coprire con un canovaccio e lasciar lievitare per 2 ore. Trascorso questo tempo, con un coltello iniziare a tagliare i grissini dello spessore di un dito e stenderli su una teglia rivestita di carta forno. Non lavorare o reimpastare però, stenderli con le mani e nel caso fossero troppo lunghi tagliare i pezzetti in eccesso e lasciarli cuocere così. Infornare a 200° per ca. 20 minuti (occorreranno diverse infornate). Si conservano bene per diversi giorni avvolti da carta di alluminio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352758602584637202" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjRlsN5PxI/AAAAAAAABnI/MGnXK8khUmc/s400/Grissini%2302_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjQCvJjuuI/AAAAAAAABm4/sUaDyXQ7HNk/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352756902564707042" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjQCvJjuuI/AAAAAAAABm4/sUaDyXQ7HNk/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjP-d3ZOHI/AAAAAAAABmw/3OMunUn56J8/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352756829205641330" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjP-d3ZOHI/AAAAAAAABmw/3OMunUn56J8/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Onion grissini&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I wanted to make grissini (bread-stick) since a long time, but not only plain grissini, I wanted the onion ones. I've never made them before, so I've decided that the best thing to do was to start from a good, trustworthy recipe, the grissini torinesi stirati (= strained grissini from Turin) by the Simili sisters. I've changed only few things and, of course, I've added onion. If your patient enough and have a good heat resistence, beacuse your oven will be going for about two hours, well, try them, they're crunchy, tasty and suitable for every occasion: appetizer, starter or even in place of bread. If you like, you can substitute onion with the ingredients that you prefer: herbs, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, diced ham.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 300gr (1.3 cup-10.4oz) plain flour - 200gr (½cup-3.5oz) Manitoba flour - 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) water - 10gr (2.2tsp) brewer's yeast - 1tsp salt - 50gr (0.2cup-1.7oz) extravirgin olive oil - 1tsp barley malt -1 big onion - whole wheat flour as needed&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mix together both flours, water, salt, yeast, oil and malt. Knead energically and then add onion, thinly chopped. Knead again then form a rectangle of about 10x30cm (4x12inch), put it on a surface floured with hard wheat flour, brush it with olive oil, then cover it with a cloth and leave to rise for 2 hours. After this time, start slicing the grissini - thick as a finger -with a sharp knife and strain them and place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Don't knead or blend the dough, if the grissini are too long, just cut off the exceeding piece and bake it just like that. Bake at 200° C (400°F - gas mark 6) for about 20 minutes (you'll need to bake more than once). They can be stored wrapped in aluminium foil for several days.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352758513828876834" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjRghk30iI/AAAAAAAABnA/vdCmi_DPzaI/s400/Grissini%2303_resize.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-5921251925782620183?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/5921251925782620183/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/06/grissini-alla-cipolla.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/5921251925782620183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/5921251925782620183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/06/grissini-alla-cipolla.html' title='Grissini alla cipolla'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SkjRqUaM_UI/AAAAAAAABnQ/cmmBAn43S-w/s72-c/Grissini%2301_resize.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-4355819786151460557</id><published>2009-06-04T12:20:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-04T12:21:57.522+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Bocconotti di ricotta</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SiedlZQEeFI/AAAAAAAABmg/nRO4CDcYaK0/s1600-h/Bocconotti+ricotta%2302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343412748657391698" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SiedlZQEeFI/AAAAAAAABmg/nRO4CDcYaK0/s400/Bocconotti+ricotta%2302.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I bocconotti sono dei dolci tipici della cucina regionale italiana, nello specifico abruzzese, pugliese e calabrese, ma anche romana. A Roma si trovano quelli di ricotta, dei ravioli di pasta frolla ripieni di ricotta aromatizzata alla cannella e con dei canditi. Mi è venuta voglia di farli dopo aver visto una puntata di "Cuoco gentiluomo" con lo chef &lt;a href="http://www.alessandroborghese.it/"&gt;Alessandro Borghese&lt;/a&gt;, e ho voluto provare la sua versione rivisitata, con anche cioccolata e uvetta nel ripieno. Non sono belli come i suoi, e non avendo le dosi esatte ho improvvisato un pò, usando per la pasta frolla una della ricette delle &lt;a href="http://www.ibs.it/code/9788882118167/simili-margherita/pane-roba-dolce"&gt;sorelle Simili&lt;/a&gt; alla quale ho aggiunto la scorza grattugiata di limone. &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 6 bocconotti&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per la pasta frolla:&lt;/em&gt; 300gr di farina - 100gr di burro - 80gr di zucchero a velo - 2 tuorli d'uovo + 1 per spennellare - un pizzico di sale - scorza grattugiata di 1 limone non trattato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per il ripieno:&lt;/em&gt; 250gr di ricotta - 1 tuorlo d'uovo - 100gr di zucchero - 60gr di arancia candita - 60gr di cioccolata fondente - 50gr di uvetta - 1 cucchiaino di cannella in polvere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Per la pasta frolla, mettere nel mixer tutti gli ingredienti e azionare la lama per pochi secondi. Con la pasta ottenuta formare una palla, avvolgerla con pellicola per alimenti e farla riposare in frigo per 30 minuti. Intanto preparare il ripieno. Far ammollare nell'acqua l'uvetta per 10 minuti, quindi strizzarla ed asciugarla. Tagliare a dadini l'arancia candita e la cioccolata. In una ciotola amalgamare la ricotta con lo zucchero, guindi aggiungere il tuorlo d'uovo, la cannella, l'arancia candita, la cioccolata e l'uvetta. Dar forma ora ai bocconotti come se si facessero dei ravioli. Dividere la pasta in due parti, quindi stenderla in due sfoglie rettangolari. Su di una distribuire a mucchietti il composto di ricotta con un cucchiaio, intervallandoli l'uno dall'altro: se volete dei ravioloni ne otterrete 6, altrimenti potete farli più piccoli. Sovrapporre l'altra sfoglia, stando attenti a far uscire l'aria, premere la pasta tutto intorno ai mucchietti di ripieno in modo che i due lembi di sfoglia aderiscano bene. Con la rotella dentellata ritagliare i ravioli e, con molta attenzione, metterli su una placca da forno rivestita di carta forno. Spennellarli con il tuorlo d'uovo sbattuto ed infornare a 170° per 25-30 minuti o finché saranno ben dorati.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343412665334016946" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Siedgi2Oq7I/AAAAAAAABmY/5NlabpFGQCk/s400/Bocconotti+ricotta%2304.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SiecGDX3uOI/AAAAAAAABmI/ohSSY-gRpwU/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343411110696958178" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SiecGDX3uOI/AAAAAAAABmI/ohSSY-gRpwU/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Siec4Qe01aI/AAAAAAAABmQ/OTDkavbRvII/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343411973209249186" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/Siec4Qe01aI/AAAAAAAABmQ/OTDkavbRvII/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Bocconotti with ricotta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Bocconotti are typical sweets from the Italian regional cooking, particularly from the abruzzese, pugliese and calabrese, but also roman. In Rome you can find those with ricotta, they look like ravioli and the filling is flavoured with cinnamon and candied peel. I had the chance to watch an episode of "Cuoco gentiluomo" (tr. Gentleman chef) with the chef &lt;a href="http://www.alessandroborghese.it/"&gt;Alessandro Borghese&lt;/a&gt;, he made these wonderful bocconotti in his own way (with chocolate and raisins too) so I've decideded to give it a try. They're not as beautiful as his, besides I didn't have the exact amount of ingredients so I improvised and used, for the shortcrust, one of the recipes by the &lt;a href="http://www.ibs.it/code/9788882118167/simili-margherita/pane-roba-dolce"&gt;Simili sisters&lt;/a&gt;, where I also added some lemon zest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 6 bocconotti&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the shortcrust:&lt;/em&gt; 300gr (1.3 cup-10.4oz) flour - 100gr (½cup-3.5oz) butter - 80gr (0.4 cup - 3.2oz) dusting sugar - 2 egg yolks + 1 for brushing - 1 pinch of salt - zest of 1 lemon&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the filling:&lt;/em&gt; 250gr ricotta - 1 egg yolk - 100gr (½cup-3.5oz) sugar - 50gr (0.21cup - 1.7oz) orange candied peel - 60gr (0.26cup - 2.1oz) dark chocolate - 50gr (0.21cup - 1.7oz) raisins - 1tsp cinnamon powder&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;For the shortcrust, in a food processor place all ingredients and process until it forms a firm dough. Place it in a polythene bag and leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest. Now prepare the filling. Leave raisins to soak for 10 minutes, then squeeze them a little and dry them up, chop orange candied peel and chocolate. In a bowl beat ricotta with sugar, then add egg yolk, cinnamon, orange candied peel, chocolate and raisins. Make the bocconotti just as you would make ravioli. Divide the pastry in two, then on a lightly floured surface roll them in two different rectangles. Onto the first one, place 6 level tablespoons of ricotta filling, but you can also decide to make more bocconotti, so smaller. Now take the other rectangle of pastry and lay it carefully over the bottom piece of pastry, being careful not to trap too much air. Now gently press the pastry together to seal the squares, then trim the edges and cut the whole lot into little squares using the pastry wheel. Transfer them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, brush them with the beaten egg yolk and bake at 170°C (325F-gas mark 3) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-4355819786151460557?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/4355819786151460557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/06/bocconotti-di-ricotta.html#comment-form' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4355819786151460557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4355819786151460557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/06/bocconotti-di-ricotta.html' title='Bocconotti di ricotta'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SiedlZQEeFI/AAAAAAAABmg/nRO4CDcYaK0/s72-c/Bocconotti+ricotta%2302.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-5157412101981937591</id><published>2009-05-22T11:59:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-22T12:11:26.338+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antipasti - Appetizers'/><title type='text'>Mini-muffin con asparagi e ricotta</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ShZ3XaPohmI/AAAAAAAABmA/puKryoAmORg/s1600-h/Muffin+asparagi%2302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338585652359890530" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ShZ3XaPohmI/AAAAAAAABmA/puKryoAmORg/s400/Muffin+asparagi%2302.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;E' quasi finita la stagione degli asparagi ma si è ancora in tempo per fare questi mini-muffin.

In una padella far sciogliere un cucchiaio di burro, far saltare gli asparagi per qualche minuto e salare un poco. Ora in una terrina mescolare farina, sale, lievito e parmigiano. In un'altra mescolare la ricotta con le uova, aggiungere il burro fuso e il latte. Mescolare il composto agli ingredienti secchi, quindi versarvi per ultimi gli asparagi, un pò di noce moscata e il pepe. Imburrare degli stampi da mini muffin (o usare i pirottini) e cuocere in forno caldo a 180° per 20 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ShZ3B72SzGI/AAAAAAAABl4/-KDL-lfruq4/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338585283423292514" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ShZ3B72SzGI/AAAAAAAABl4/-KDL-lfruq4/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ShZ2-EX-6BI/AAAAAAAABlw/XZHLgScDLCY/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 16px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338585216992602130" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ShZ2-EX-6BI/AAAAAAAABlw/XZHLgScDLCY/s200/United+States.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Asparagus and ricotta mini-muffins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Asparagus season is almost finished here, but you're still in time to make these mini-muffins.

Heat 1tbs butter in a frying pan and as soon it is frothy, add the cooked asparagus and toss to coat them in the butter. Add salt. In a bowl sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and grated parmesan. In another bowl mix ricotta with eggs, add melted butter and milk. Mix together with dry ingredients and finally add asparagus, nutmeg and pepper. If you are using muffin cases, arrange them in the tins and spoon the mixture into them; alternatively, spoon the mixture straight into the greased tins.

E anche della suocera. Non è la solita torta di carote, perché rispetto alle solite torte di carote è molto più morbida, per niente asciutta, poco dolce e molto aromatica. A me piace mangiarla così, nature, ma si può accompagnare con una crema alla vaniglia o alla cannella.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr di farina - 400gr di zucchero di canna - 4 uova - 350ml di olio di semi - 400gr di carote grattugiate - 275gr di noci tritate grossolanamente -1 bustina di lievito per dolci (16gr) - 1 cucchiaino di cannella in polvere - ½ cucchiaino di noce moscata - 1 pizzico di sale -olio per ungere la teglia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Passare al setaccio la farina mescolata al lievito, alla cannella, alla noce moscata, ad un pizzico di sale e versare il tutto in una larga ciotola. Sbattere con una frusta le uova con lo zucchero, quindi aggiungere gradatamente l'olio. Mescolare alla farina la miscela preparata, quindi amalgamarvi le carote e le noci. Ungere uno stampo quadrato di 18cm ca. di lato (anche uno stampo rettangolare può andare bene), versarvi il composto e passare in forno caldo a 170° per un'ora finché uno stecchino infilato nella torta uscirà asciutto. Lasciar raffreddare la torta nello stampo e poi capovolgerla su una reticella metallica. Quando sarà diventata fredda, avvolgerla in un foglio d'alluminio e lasciarla riposare per un giorno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333368381566951442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SgPuSR-ZIBI/AAAAAAAABlg/PyiZL7gEZ3s/s400/Torta+carote%2Bnoci%2304.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SgPtlMDEGrI/AAAAAAAABlY/MpBBao0te_4/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333367606881819314" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 15px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SgPtlMDEGrI/AAAAAAAABlY/MpBBao0te_4/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SgPtdbRAjBI/AAAAAAAABlQ/R4hwdQwb0k8/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333367473527884818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 16px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SgPtdbRAjBI/AAAAAAAABlQ/R4hwdQwb0k8/s200/United+States.1.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;Carrot and nut cake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's my mum's favourite cake. And also my mother in law's. It's not the same old carrot cake, because compared to the same old carrot cakes it's really more moist, not at all dry or too sweet and also a bit spicy. I love it just like this, straight, but you can serve it also with a vanilla or cinnamon topping made with cream cheese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr (½cup-3.5oz) flour - 400gr (1.75cup-14oz) brown sugar - 4 eggs - 350ml (12oz) vegetable oil - 400gr (1.75cup-14oz) carrots, grated - 275gr (1.2cup-9.6oz) nuts, crushed - 16gr (3½tsp) baking powder - 1tsp cinnamon powder - ½tsp nutmeg - 1 pinch salt - oil to grease the tin&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a large bowl whisk eggs with sugar then add oil. Pour in flour mixture, then carrots and nuts. Grease a 18cm (8inch) square cake tin (a rectangular one will be perfect as well), then spoon in the mixture and bake at 170°C (325°F - gas mark 3) for an hour. Cool down in the tin first and then on a wirerack.

Viene normalmente preparata nel periodo pasquale in Umbria, c'è anche una versione più leggera e alta, tipo panbrioche o panettone per intenderci, che però non mi è ancora riuscita, mannaggia... Ad ogni modo, io la faccio un pò tutto l'anno, è così buona che prepararla solo a Pasqua è un peccato! Si può mangiare sia calda, sia fredda, ottima accompagnata da salumi e insalata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr di farina - 250gr di farina Manitoba - 200gr di parmigiano - 200gr di pecorino romano - 200gr di emmenthaler - 200gr di provolone piccante - 3 uova - 300gr di latte - 200gr+60gr di lievito naturale* - 2 cucchiaini e ½ di sale - 2 cucchiai di olio extravergine di oliva&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;*potete sostituire il lievito naturale con 25gr di lievito di birra&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Preparare il primo impasto con il latte, le due farine, l'olio, 200gr di lievito naturale. Impastare per qualche minuto e poi aggiungere il sale, quindi impastare ancora per 10-15 minuti. Lasciar lievitare in una ciotola per 6-8 ore. Trascorso questo tempo riprendere l'impasto, sgonfiarlo ed impastare nuovamente aggiungendo i 60gr di lievito naturale. Grattuggiare finemente pecorino e parmigiano e mescolarli assieme, tagliare a dadini emmenthaler e provolone. Iniziare ad aggiungere all'impasto, alternandoli, i formaggi grattugiati e le uova una alla volta, e all'occorrenza aggiungere un pò di farina se l'impasto è troppo morbido. Per ultimi, il provolone e l'emmenthaler tagliati a dadini. Formare una grossa palla, coprire con un canovaccio e lasciar lievitare ancora per 6 ore. Riprendere l'impasto e stenderlo su di una teglia, lasciar lievitare per l'ultima volta per altre 6 ore. Trascorso questo tempo, potete cuocere la focaccia a 200° per 20-25 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Con lievito di birra&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Se voleste invece utilizzare il lievito di birra (io l'ho fatto per anni) i tempi di lievitazione diminuiscono di tanto. In questo caso impastare assieme le farine, pecorino e parmigiano grattugiati e il sale. Aggiungere le uova e 3/4 del latte, iniziare ad impastare quindi sciogliere il lievito di birra con 1 cucchiaino di zucchero e il latte rimanente, e aggiungerlo all'impasto. Per ultimi, il provolone e l'emmenthaler tagliati a dadini. Impastare per circa 20 minuti, coprire con un canovaccio e lasciar lievitare per 3 ore. Ora prelevare l'impasto, stenderlo su due teglie e lasciar lievitare ancora per 3 ore. Infornare a 200° per 20-25 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329376847243035218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SfXAAZ4cwlI/AAAAAAAABlA/E5709U4_2VA/s400/Focaccia+formaggio%2304.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SfW_hf4v89I/AAAAAAAABk4/Z4H-85hrjUw/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329376316278961106" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 15px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SfW_hf4v89I/AAAAAAAABk4/Z4H-85hrjUw/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SfW_bTF6YxI/AAAAAAAABkw/P9SMd4zESSA/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329376209765294866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 16px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SfW_bTF6YxI/AAAAAAAABkw/P9SMd4zESSA/s200/United+States.1.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Cheese focaccia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;This is a focaccia that I made for years, the original recipe is from my grandmother (she used to call it cheese pizza), but in this version is a bit richer. It's normally prepared during Easter time in Umbria, there's also a lighter and "higher" version, like a panbrioche or a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panettone"&gt;panettone&lt;/a&gt;, but I've never been able to make it... Anyway, I bake this one all the year long, it's too good to prepare it on Easter day only! You can eat it warm or cold, great to accompany cold cuts and a green salad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) flour - 250gr (1.1cup - 8.8oz) Manitoba flour - 200gr (½cup-3.5oz) parmesan - 200gr (½cup-3.5oz) &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecorino_romano"&gt;pecorino romano&lt;/a&gt; - 200gr (½cup-3.5oz) &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmenthaler"&gt;emmenthaler&lt;/a&gt; - 200gr (½cup-3.5oz) &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provolone"&gt;provolone&lt;/a&gt; piccante - 3 eggs - 300gr (1.3cup - 10.4oz) milk - 200gr (½cup-3.5oz) +60gr (2oz) sourdough* - 2½tsp salt - 2tbs extravirgin oliv oil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;*you can substitute sourdough with 25gr (0.9oz) brewer's yeast&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mix together milk, flour, oil and 200gr sourdough. Knead for few minutes, then add salt and knead again for about 10-15 minutes. Leave the dough to rise for 6-8 hours. After this time, take the dough, add the remaining sourdough and knead for few minutes. Now grate parmesan and pecorino and dice emmenthaler and provolone. Start adding to the dough, alternating them, parmesan, pecorino and eggs one at a time. Pour in some more flour if necessary (only if the dough seems too sticky and soft). Last, add emmenthaler and provolone, and knead well. Leave the dough to rise in a bowl for other 6 hours. After this time, on a baking tray strain the dough with your hands (you'll need more than one tray) and leave again to rise 6 more hours. Bake the focaccia at 200°C (400°F - gas mark 6) for 20-25 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;With brewer's yeast&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;If your prefer using brewer's yeast, rising times are certainly lower. Mix together flours, grated pecorino, parmesan and salt. Add eggs and 3/4 milk, start kneading, then melt yeast with the remaining milk and 1tsp of sugar and pour into the dough. Last, add diced emmenthaler and provolone. Knead again for about 20 minutes, then leave to rise for 3 hours, covered with a cloth. After this time, take the dough and strain it with your hands on two trays, leave to rise 3 more hours and then bake at 200°C (400°F - gas mark 6) for 20-25 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-6323838553541193642?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/6323838553541193642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/04/focaccia-col-formaggio.html#comment-form' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6323838553541193642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/6323838553541193642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/04/focaccia-col-formaggio.html' title='Focaccia col formaggio'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SfXAHGkw6oI/AAAAAAAABlI/kRezUC8yaSQ/s72-c/Focaccia+formaggio%2302.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-4362819909132281545</id><published>2009-04-15T19:40:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-15T19:45:25.888+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muffins'/><title type='text'>Muffin con caffè e cioccolato</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SeYba3TgIKI/AAAAAAAABkY/4IithAuybIU/s1600-h/Muffin+caff%C3%A8%2Bciocc%2301_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324973757748486306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SeYba3TgIKI/AAAAAAAABkY/4IithAuybIU/s400/Muffin+caff%C3%A8%2Bciocc%2301_resize.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Nessun dolce pasquale quest'anno. Capitano anche a me quei periodi in cui non ho voglia di spadellare o di fare dei dolci nuovi, in più quest'anno, per vari motivi, non ne ho avuto proprio il tempo. Ed è in questi momenti che i cari vecchi muffin arrivano in aiuto, dato che in mezz'ora... zac! Il dolcino è pronto! Era tanto tempo poi che volevo provare a farli col caffè e le gocce di cioccolato, energetici ma poco dolci, mi sono piaciuti molto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 10 muffin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr di farina - 120gr di zucchero - 100gr di burro morbido - 2 uova - 2 cucchiai di cacao amaro - 1 cucchiaino e ½ di lievito in polvere - 1 tazzina di caffè (ca. 60ml) - 50ml di latte - 40gr di gocce di cioccolato fondente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mescolare assieme farina, zucchero, cacao e lievito. In un'altra ciotola mescolare velocemente uova, burro, latte e caffè. Unire ingredienti secchi e liquidi ed infine aggiungere le gocce di cioccolato.

Sometimes those periods when you don't feel like cooking or baking new cakes occur to me too, plus, this year, I didn't have the time. Well, it's during these times that muffins really are helpful, in half an hour you have a small cake! Morever, I wanted to try these coffee and chocolate drops muffins from a very long time. They're a good energy source but not very sweet, I love them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 10 muffin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) flour - 120gr (0.52cup-4.2oz) sugar - 100gr (0.44cup - 3.5oz) soft butter - 2 eggs - 2tbs cocoa powder - 1½tsp baking powder - 1 espresso coffe cup (about 60ml-2oz) - 50ml (1.4oz) milk - 40gr (0.19 cup-1.5 oz) black chocolate drops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sift flour with baking powder, sugar and cocoa powder.

Il mio lievituccio è arrivato nella sua nuova dimora dopo un viaggio Torino --&gt; Milano, grazie a &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/15625263294686167311"&gt;Nadia&lt;/a&gt; che me ne ha dato un pezzetto del suo e grazie alle poste italiane che, nonostante il ritardo, lo hanno fatto arrivare sano e salvo. Il "viaggiatore", dopo qualche giorno di rianimazione e cure amorevoli, si è completamente ripreso ed è divenuto attivissimo. Le prime sperimentazioni si sono limitate al pane, ma la pizza è stata la seconda tappa, assolutamente obbligatoria. I tempi di lievitazione sono notevolmente più lunghi rispetto a quelli del lievito di birra, ma vale davvero la pena avere un pò di pazienza ed organizzarsi con più anticipo! La pizza in questione non è quella napoletana, che è più sottile e và cotta nel forno a legna, ma quella un pochino alta cotta nella teglia e nel forno tradizionale, che a noi a casa piace tantissimo. Io poi preferisco fare la classica margherita con pomodoro e mozzarella, seguo la regola per cui se la pasta della pizza è buona, non c'è bisogno di molto altro. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Se volete cimentarvi anche voi col lievito naturale, basta andare sul sito della &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/"&gt;Cucina Italiana&lt;/a&gt; dove potete trovare &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/default.aspx?idPage=1850"&gt;un filmato&lt;/a&gt; che vi spiega passo passo come prepararlo. Un bel post sulla &lt;a href="http://www.francescav.com/2008/05/pasta-madre/"&gt;paste madre&lt;/a&gt; è senza dubbio quello di &lt;a href="http://www.francescav.com/"&gt;FrancescaV&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr di farina - 200gr di farina Manitoba - 160gr di lievito naturale - 220ml di acqua - 1 cucchiaio e ½ di olio extravergine di oliva - 2 cucchiaini di sale - 200ml di passata di pomodoro - 250gr di mozzarella - basilico o origano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Con impastatrice o macchina del pane: Mettere nella MdP/impastatrice l'acqua, il lievito, le due farine a cui avrete mescolato il sale e l'olio. Impastare per 10-15 minuti, con l'impasto ottenuto formare una palla, metterla in una ciotola abbastanza grande, coprire con un canovaccio e lasciar lievitare per 6-8 ore. Senza impastatrice si procede più o meno alllo stesso modo, con la differenza che magari ci vorrà un poco più di tempo per impastare.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Riprendere l'impasto e stenderlo con le mani su di una teglia rivestita di carta forno e lasciar lievitare ancora per 6-8 ore. Trascorso questo tempo, versare la passata di pomodoro sulla pasta (io in genere la faccio sobbollire per 5 minuti con sale e poco olio) ed infornare a 250° per 7-8 minuti. Tirare fuori la teglia, mettervi a piacere basilico od origano, quindi la mozzarella tagliata a dadini ed infornare ancora per altri 8 minuti o finché la mozzarella non sarà ben sciolta. Con questi tempi di cottura la pasta rimane morbida, se preferite una crosta/cornicione più croccante, prolungate la cottura della prima fase anche a 10 minuti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SdJOb8gZfXI/AAAAAAAABiY/IY-N5_L0jPc/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319400351883427186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 15px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SdJOb8gZfXI/AAAAAAAABiY/IY-N5_L0jPc/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SdJOXDs7xMI/AAAAAAAABiQ/Fl6uPzf9hX8/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319400267915707586" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 16px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SdJOXDs7xMI/AAAAAAAABiQ/Fl6uPzf9hX8/s200/United+States.1.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pizza with sourdough&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;I've finally started to experiment bread, pizza, focacce and brioches with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourdough"&gt;sourdough&lt;/a&gt;, and it's totally a new world! My sourdough arrived to its new home after a trip Turin --&gt; Milan, thanks to &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/15625263294686167311"&gt;Nadia&lt;/a&gt; who gave me a small piece of her "baby" and thanks to the poste italiane (Italian mail) which, despite the delay, kept it safe and sound. The "traveller", after few days of intensive and loving care, recovered perfectly and became very active. First tests were with bread only, but pizza was my second try, absolutely right and proper. Rising times are longer than the average for baker's yeasts, but it's really worth it, so better to be patient and schedule a bit more. This pizza is not the napoletana, thinner and cooked in the wood stove, but the thick one cooked in the traditional oven, our favourite at home. I also prefer to make the margherita with tomato and mozzarella only, I follow the rule that says that if the dough it's good you don't need too much toppings. If you'd like to try to make natural leaven, you should take a look at the &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/"&gt;Cucina Italiana&lt;/a&gt; and watch &lt;a href="http://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/default.aspx?idPage=1850"&gt;the video&lt;/a&gt; that explains how to make it step by step. A &lt;a href="http://www.francescav.com/2008/05/pasta-madre/"&gt;great post&lt;/a&gt; about it it's on &lt;a href="http://www.francescav.com/"&gt;FrancescaV's&lt;/a&gt; blog (sorry, Italian only, but digit "sourdough" on Google and you'll find a lot of other sources).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) flour - 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) Manitoba flour - 160gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) sourdough - 220ml (7.5oz) water - 1½tbs extra virgin olive oil - 2tsp salt - 200ml (6.8oz) tomato sauce - 250gr (8.8oz) mozzarella - basil or oregano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;With a kneader or a bread machine: put into the kneader/bread machine water, natural leaven, flours already mixed with salt, and oil. Knead for 10-15 minutes, then form a ball with the dough, put it into a large bowl, cover with a cloth and leave to rise for 6-8 hours. Without a kneader you do almost the same, maybe you'll need more time to knead.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now take the dough and strain it with your hands in a pan, covered with parchment paper and leave again to rise for another 6-8 hours. After this time, pour over the dough tomato sauce (I normally cook it first in a pan with salt and a bit of oil for 5 minutes) and bake at 250° C (480°F)for 7-8 minutes. Take it out, sprinkle with basil or oregano, then spread on with diced mozzarella and bake again for 8 minutes or until mozzarella will be well melted. With these cooking times you'll have a soft crust, if you prefer a crunchy one, extend the first phase to 10 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3147558653750960741?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3147558653750960741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/03/la-pizza-col-lievito-naturale.html#comment-form' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3147558653750960741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3147558653750960741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/03/la-pizza-col-lievito-naturale.html' title='La pizza col lievito naturale'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SdJOsMHgUJI/AAAAAAAABig/vhcqyF4NNJU/s72-c/Pizza+lievnat%2303.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-8419470666186578075</id><published>2009-03-21T00:00:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-21T12:06:45.100+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conserve - preserves'/><title type='text'>Ancora marmellata di pompelmo rosa</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ScTHqJ5B_dI/AAAAAAAABh4/I3BfrneFCCc/s1600-h/Marmellata+pompelmo+rosa%2302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315592987227586002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ScTHqJ5B_dI/AAAAAAAABh4/I3BfrneFCCc/s400/Marmellata+pompelmo+rosa%2302.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Vi starete chiedendo il perché un post su di una ricetta già pubblicata l'anno scorso.

Metterle in una pentola polpa, succo e aggiungere lo zucchero e il fruttapec che avrete mescolato insieme prima. Mescolare e iniziare la cottura: normalmente con il fruttapec bastano 5 minuti dopo che inizia a bollire. Per vedere se la marmellata è pronta e se ha la consistenza desiderata basta metterne una piccolissima quantità su di un piattino e vedere se si rapprende. Nel caso servisse una maggiore densità, togliere dal fuoco, aggiungere succo di mezzo limone (mezzo limone per ogni chilo di frutta) e far cuocere ancora qualche minuto, sempre mescolando. Trasferire subito la marmellata nei vasi, chiuderli bene e capovolgerli per qualche minuto. Bisogna aspettare 24 ore per avere pronta la marmellata e vedere la consistenza finale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ScTHbFNJ9EI/AAAAAAAABhw/7Iil51xWCis/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315592728271778882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 15px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ScTHbFNJ9EI/AAAAAAAABhw/7Iil51xWCis/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ScTHVqhjUkI/AAAAAAAABho/BHd-kq5ACJY/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315592635210224194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 16px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ScTHVqhjUkI/AAAAAAAABho/BHd-kq5ACJY/s200/United+States.1.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pink grapefruit jam, again&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;You are probably asking why a post on a recipe already published last year. Here's the reason: because it participates to the competition &lt;a href="http://lost-in-kitchen.blogspot.com/2009/03/concorso-ci-piace-un-succo-partecipate.html"&gt;Ci Piace un Succo&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="http://lost-in-kitchen.blogspot.com/"&gt;Lost in Kitchen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://senzapanna.blogspot.com/"&gt;Senza Panna&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://tzatzikiacolazione.blogspot.com/"&gt;Tzaziki a colazione&lt;/a&gt;, which gathers food bloggers' recipes with citrus fruits. You find &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2008/04/marmellata-di-pompelmo-rosa.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; the old post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 1kg (4.3cup - 35oz - 2lb) pink grapefruits - 350gr (½cup - 12oz) sugar - 1 package powdered pectin - juice of ½ lemon, eventually.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Halve the grapefruits, squeeze them but keep the pulp, throwing away seeds and place them in a casserole with sugar and pectine. Mix and start cooking. Normally, if you use pectine, it takes 5 minutes after the mixture starts boiling. Check the density placing a small quantity of jam on a plate and see if it thickens. If you like it more thick, add the juice of ½ lemon and then cook again for few minutes. Pour it, still hot, into the jars, seal them and turn upside down for few minutes. Wait for about 24 hours to see the final result and thickness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-8419470666186578075?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/8419470666186578075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/03/ancora-marmellata-di-pompelmo-rosa.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8419470666186578075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/8419470666186578075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/03/ancora-marmellata-di-pompelmo-rosa.html' title='Ancora marmellata di pompelmo rosa'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/ScTHqJ5B_dI/AAAAAAAABh4/I3BfrneFCCc/s72-c/Marmellata+pompelmo+rosa%2302.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-7086745454309543351</id><published>2009-03-10T16:20:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T16:29:39.394+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dolci - Desserts'/><title type='text'>Cake con arancia e cardamomo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SbaFH9Wd0FI/AAAAAAAABgs/Jp6mvE2BAjQ/s1600-h/Mattonella+arancia%2Bcardamomo%2304.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311579182304448594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SbaFH9Wd0FI/AAAAAAAABgs/Jp6mvE2BAjQ/s400/Mattonella+arancia%2Bcardamomo%2304.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Era un pò che volevo preparare un cake con le arance per la colazione, prima che finisse la stagione, e utilizzare anche il cardamomo nuovo nuovo regalatomi da &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/07299447732574206855"&gt;Bira&lt;/a&gt;.

Stavolta però li ho fatti salati, ed ho utilizzato un mix di successo, quello della &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/search?q=torta+salata+di+nadia"&gt;torta salata di Nadia&lt;/a&gt;. Come antipasto se in versione mini o come secondo o piatto unico accompagnato magari da un pò di verdure, van sempre bene, uno tira l'altro! Nella versione che vedete in foto ho utilizzato solo un cucchiaino di lievito, non si è formata la classica cupoletta, ma è una cosa difficile nella versione salata quando tra gli ingredienti c'è tanto formaggio e/o prosciutto e non si dà il tempo all'impasto di lievitare, ma in quest'ultimo caso non sarebbero più muffin, o no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per 10 muffin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr di farina - 100gr di burro - 4 cucchiai di latte - 1 cucchiaino di sale - 2 cucchiaini di lievito secco per pane e pizza - 2 uova - 2 cucchiai di parmigiano grattugiato - 1 porro grande - 80gr di prosciutto cotto a cubetti - 60gr di brie - 1 cucchiaio di olio extravergine di oliva - pepe nero.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Iniziare pulendo il porro e affettandolo, poi sbollentarlo per 5 minuti in acqua bollente, scolarlo e farlo appassire in una padella con il cucchiaio d'olio. Procedere ora come per i muffins dolci. In una ciotola mescolare la farina, il sale, il parmigiano e il lievito. In un'altra il burro morbido con le uova e il latte, quindi unire assieme ingredienti secchi e ingredienti liquidi. Aggiungere una macinata di pepe, il porro, il prosciutto cotto e il brie a pezzetti. Riempire con il composto uno stampo per muffin e infornare a 180° per 30-35 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZ_hMKDXCRI/AAAAAAAABfU/1-gNXwdPyU4/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305206485038860562" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 15px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZ_hMKDXCRI/AAAAAAAABfU/1-gNXwdPyU4/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZ_hH7ZiodI/AAAAAAAABfM/LYuJMrSYqLc/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305206412385886674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 16px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZ_hH7ZiodI/AAAAAAAABfM/LYuJMrSYqLc/s200/United+States.1.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;Muffin with brie, ham and leeks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Did you miss another muffin recipe? This time, they're savoury, with a successful mix, that one from &lt;a href="http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/search?q=torta+salata+di+nadia"&gt;Nadia's savoury cake&lt;/a&gt;. As an appetizer in mini version, or as a main course with some vegetables as side dish, they're always perfect. For those you see in the pictures I used one teaspoon of baking powder only: not a proper rising but it's not easy if you have a lot of cheese and ham in the dough an you don't leave the dough the right time to rise, but it wouldn't be a muffin, wouldn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes 10&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) flour - 100gr (0.5cup - 4oz)butter - 4tbs milk- 1tsp salt- 1½tsp baking powder - 2 eggs - 2tbs grated parmesan - 1 leek - 80gr (0.35cup - 2.8oz) diced ham- 60gr (0.3cup - 2.4oz) brie - 1tbs extravirgin olive oil - black pepper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Clean and chop the leeks in slices, cook them first in boiling water for few minutes, then in a pan with olive oil. Now mix together in a bowl flour, salt, parmesan and baking powder. In another bowl whisk butter with eggs and milk. Pour in the flour mixture and stir. Add brie in small pieces, ham and pepper. Fill muffin tin and bake for about 30-35 minutes at 180° C (350F - gas mark 4). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-3874591869331287649?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/3874591869331287649/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/02/muffin-con-brie-prosciutto-cotto-e.html#comment-form' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3874591869331287649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/3874591869331287649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/02/muffin-con-brie-prosciutto-cotto-e.html' title='Muffin con brie, prosciutto cotto e porri'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZ_hgLa2n6I/AAAAAAAABfc/rL_KlbAb0_Y/s72-c/Muffin+brie%2Bcotto%2Bporri02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-4820239481194962830</id><published>2009-02-11T17:25:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-02-11T17:32:51.784+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biscotti - Biscuits'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antipasti - Appetizers'/><title type='text'>Biscotti al parmigiano e patè di olive taggiasche</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZL7eWMG_vI/AAAAAAAABe8/GYKW2FBYlhc/s1600-h/Biscotti+parmigiano%2Bolive04.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301576210139512562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZL7eWMG_vI/AAAAAAAABe8/GYKW2FBYlhc/s400/Biscotti+parmigiano%2Bolive04.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;E' diverso tempo che volevo sperimentare dei biscottini salati, qualcosa di sfizioso da servire per un aperitivo o semplicemente da mangiare quando più si ha voglia. Quando ho visto la data di scadenza sul patè di olive taggiasche ho pensato di utilizzarlo per questo scopo e così mi è venuto in mente di fare delle girelle. Si conservano bene per un paio di giorni in una scatola di latta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Per circa 20-24 biscotti&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 150gr di farina - 90gr di burro - 60gr di parmigiano grattugiato - un pizzico di sale - 85gr di patè di &lt;a href="http://www.taggiasca.com/"&gt;olive taggiasche&lt;/a&gt; - acqua q.b.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mettere in un mixer la farina, il burro freddo a pezzetti, il parmigiano grattugiato e il sale. Azionare alla massima velocità e, una volta che l'impasto avrà assunto l'aspetto di grosse briciole, versare poca aqua in modo da ottenere un impasto che si raccolga in una palla e lasci le pareti del mixer pulite. Sul piano da lavoro lavorare brevemente l'impasto e stenderlo in un rettangolo dallo spessore di 5-6mm su di un foglio di carta forno. Spalmare con una spatola il patè di olive quindi, partendo dal lato più corto, iniziare ad arrotolarlo su sé stesso, sollevando delicatamente il foglio di carta forno, in modo che non si rompa. Avvolgerlo delicatamente nello stessa carta, quindi conservarlo in frigo per almeno due ore (o anche tutta la notte). Tirare fuori, sistemare il rotolo su di un tagliere, quindi tagliarlo a fette dello spessore desiderato e adagiare su una placca da forno rivestita di carta forno o imburrata. Cuocere per 10-12 minuti in forno caldo a 180°C.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301576119699596706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZL7ZFRjZaI/AAAAAAAABe0/eJOoKLuCUrw/s400/Biscotti+parmigiano%2Bolive02.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZL7Jp-8CeI/AAAAAAAABes/4QxvUB2NgEA/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301575854675724770" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 15px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZL7Jp-8CeI/AAAAAAAABes/4QxvUB2NgEA/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZL7EDJN-MI/AAAAAAAABek/YY3qPevGMJ8/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301575758350514370" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 16px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZL7EDJN-MI/AAAAAAAABek/YY3qPevGMJ8/s200/United+States.1.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Biscuits with parmesan and olives pâté&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wanted to try to make some savoury biscuits from a very long time, something tasty to serve as an appetizer or to eat whenever you like. When I saw the expiry date on the olives pâté I thought I could use it for this purpose and make some biscuit rolls. They can be stored for a couple of days in a tin box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makes about 20-24 biscuits&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 150gr (0.66cup - 5.3 oz) flour - 90gr (0.4cup - 3.2oz) butter - 60gr (0.25cup - 2oz) grated parmesan cheese - 1 pinch of salt - cold water - 85gr (0.375cup - 3oz) &lt;a href="http://taggiasca.com/e/index.html"&gt;taggiasche olives&lt;/a&gt; pâté&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Place cold butter, flour, grated parmesan and salt in a food processor and give it a whiz till it resembles crumbs, then add a bit of water till the dough will come together in a way that leaves the processor fairly clean. Now knead a little the dough then roll it out, on a paper foil, to form a rectangle 5-6mm (0.2inch) thick. Spread over it the olive pâté and, starting from the shorter side, roll the dough up. Take hold of one edge of the greaseproof paper beneath it and lift it – as you lift, the dough will begin to come up. Just gently roll it over, pulling the paper away as it rolls. Covered with the same paper, chill in the fridge for at least two hours to rest (or overnight). Now cut it from 20 to 25 slices, depending from the thickness that you prefer, place them on a biking sheet and bake at 180°C (350F) for 10-12 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-4820239481194962830?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/4820239481194962830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/02/biscotti-al-parmigiano-e-pate-di-olive.html#comment-form' title='31 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4820239481194962830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/4820239481194962830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/02/biscotti-al-parmigiano-e-pate-di-olive.html' title='Biscotti al parmigiano e patè di olive taggiasche'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SZL7eWMG_vI/AAAAAAAABe8/GYKW2FBYlhc/s72-c/Biscotti+parmigiano%2Bolive04.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>31</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31933112.post-837699487722559467</id><published>2009-02-05T19:00:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-02-05T19:06:53.341+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pane - Bread'/><title type='text'>Pane di castagne</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SYspQGkoGOI/AAAAAAAABec/uzm1HY1p2bI/s1600-h/Pane+di+castagne02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299374743150401762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SYspQGkoGOI/AAAAAAAABec/uzm1HY1p2bI/s400/Pane+di+castagne02.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Era tanto che non mi prendeva il sacro fuoco della panificazione, un pò per pigrizia, un pò per mancanza di idee nuove.

Un pane dal sapore un pò dolce e molto soffice, perfetto per la colazione del mattino (con un pò di marmellata di frutti di bosco magari) ma ottimo anche per accompagnare dei salumi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 150gr di farina di castagne - 70gr di farina di grano duro - 130gr di farina Manitoba - 210ml di acqua - 1 cucchiaino e ½ di sale - 1 cucchiano e ½ di zucchero - 8gr di lievito di birra fresco - 1 cucchiaio di olio extravergine di oliva&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Con impastatrice o Macchina del Pane:&lt;/em&gt; Mettere gli ingredienti nella MdP come da istruzioni del costruttore e selezionare il programma impasto.

Well, I didn't create anything new, but I've finally found the right balance between the three different flours. This is a bread with a sweet flavour, very soft, perfect for morning breakfast (maybe with some berries marmelade) but also to eat with cold cuts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 150gr (0.7cup - 5.6oz) chestnut flour - 70gr (0.3cup - 2.4oz) hard wheat flour - 130gr (0.6cup - 4.8oz) Manitoba flour - 210ml (7.2oz) water - 1½tsp salt - 1½tsp sugar - 8gr (1.8tsp) brewer's yeast - 1tbs extravirgin olive oil &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;With a kneader or a bread machine:&lt;/em&gt; Put all ingredients into the kneader or the bread machine, following the constructor's instructions, selecting kneading program. Leave the dough to rise for three hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Without a kneader or a bread machine:&lt;/em&gt; Mix three type of flours with salt, add by degrees warm water and then yeast melted in a bit of water with sugar. Knead until you'll obtain a very elastic and springy dough, add oil and knead other 5 minutes. Leave the dough to rise for three hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Next form with your hands a thin loaf or even a round loaf and place it on a baking sheet covered with greasedproof paper or a silicone sheet.

Nonostante i miei 30 e qualcosa anni, continuo a comprare i &lt;a href="http://www.ferrero.it/main.php?w=DKDFUNR9OCX8O9ZBCSBL&amp;amp;path=IT/Prodotti&amp;amp;subpath=Prodotti/Uova+al+cioccolato/Kinder+Sorpresa/Il+prodotto"&gt;Kinder Sorpresa&lt;/a&gt; soprattuto quando ci sono come sorprese i pupazzini di qualche cartone animato Disney. L'ultima che ho cercato di completare è stata quella di &lt;a href="http://www.kungfupanda.com/"&gt;Kung-fu Panda&lt;/a&gt;, ahimé con scarsi risultati dato che mi mancano 2 personaggi nonostante la quantità allucinante di ovetti comprati (se qualcuno avesse dei doppioni magari.... sono qui! ;-)). Di ovetti ne ho mangiati, ma ne avevo comunque ancora una scatola di latta piena, quindi cosa farne se non un bel dolce? Il risultato è una torta sofficissima, che rimane tale per diversi giorni, dal gusto delicato di cioccolata al latte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr di farina - 200gr di burro - 300gr di uova di cioccolata Kinder*&lt;a href="http://www.ferrero.it/main.php?w=DKDFUNR9OCX8O9ZBCSBL&amp;amp;path=IT/Prodotti&amp;amp;subpath=Prodotti/Uova+al+cioccolato/Kinder+Sorpresa/Il+prodotto"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;- 150gr di zucchero - 2 uova - 100ml di latte - 3 cucchiaini di lievito vanigliato in polvere - zucchero a velo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;*oppure cioccolato al latte e cioccolato bianco in pari quantità&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Montare a crema il burro con lo zucchero, quindi aggiungere i tuorli d'uovo uno alla volta e la farina che avrete già mescolato al lievito. Far sciogliere a bagnomaria la cioccolata con due cucchiai di latte, mescolando di tanto in tanto, quindi aggiungerla all'impasto. Per ultimo il latte rimanente e gli albumi montati a neve fermissima. Versare il tutto in una teglia imburrata di 22cm di diametro ed infornare a 160°C per 45-50 minuti. Far raffreddare e, se piace, spolverizzare di zucchero a velo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296647141710842290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SYF4gzZDSbI/AAAAAAAABd0/eAmDdsreG4g/s400/Kinder+cake%2304.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SYClnP65PgI/AAAAAAAABds/1RDzmqjcpLc/s1600-h/Union+Jack.0.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296415255494737410" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 15px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SYClnP65PgI/AAAAAAAABds/1RDzmqjcpLc/s200/Union+Jack.0.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SYClcvAHdTI/AAAAAAAABdk/rw0TKlzB6w4/s1600-h/United+States.1.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296415074859578674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 30px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 16px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SYClcvAHdTI/AAAAAAAABdk/rw0TKlzB6w4/s200/United+States.1.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Kinder Cake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;After kinder muffins I had to make a kinder cake, as I am so addicted to this chocolate and particularly to the kinder small eggs. Though I'm now 30-something, I keep buying the &lt;a href="http://www.ferrero.it/main.php?w=DKDFUNR9OCX8O9ZBCSBL&amp;amp;path=IT/Prodotti&amp;amp;subpath=Prodotti/Uova+al+cioccolato/Kinder+Sorpresa/Il+prodotto"&gt;Kinder Sorpresa&lt;/a&gt; especially when you can find, as a surprise, the Disney cartoons toys collection. The last one I was trying to complete was the &lt;a href="http://www.kungfupanda.com/"&gt;Kung-fu Panda&lt;/a&gt; collection, with bad results as I still need 2 carachters (if anyone has them... I'm here! ;-)). I've eaten many of those eggs, but still I had an entire tin box stuffed with it, so what else could I make? A cake! An extremely soft and spongy cake (and remains so soft for days), with a delicate milk chocolate texture.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/strong&gt; 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) flour - 200gr (0.9cup - 7.2oz) butter - 300gr (1.3cup-10.5oz) Kinder chocolate eggs* - 150gr (0.66cup - 5.3 oz) sugar - 2 eggs - 100ml (3.5oz) milk - 3tsp baking powder - icing sugar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;*or half milk and half white chocolate&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Cream butter with sugar, then add egg yolks one at a time and flour already mixed with baking powder. Melt chocolate in a bain-maire with 2tbs of milk, and stir in. Last, add remaining milk and egg whites, beated until stiff. Pour it into a greased tin, 22cm (8.6inch) wide, and bake at 160°C (310°F) for 45-50 minutes. Cool down and, if you like, dust with icing sugar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31933112-2276948912127404908?l=www.zenzeroecannella.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/feeds/2276948912127404908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/01/kinder-cake.html#comment-form' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/2276948912127404908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31933112/posts/default/2276948912127404908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zenzeroecannella.net/2009/01/kinder-cake.html' title='Kinder Cake'/><author><name>Pip</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16314858444676624023</uri><email>zenzeroecannella@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09682949188566325921'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6LimLZs02_4/SYF4nZk4HLI/AAAAAAAABd8/evR0Q9gN3-Y/s72-c/Kinder+cake%2302.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>19</thr:total></entry></feed>
