22.01.2022 Pork Involtini - Braciole di Maiale. Cooking with Adelina from my 2nd book "Recipes from my Italian Table" 1.5kg boned pork shoulder, 200g sliced Pancetta, 100g grated Pecorino cheese, salt & pepper, cup chopped parsley, one clove of garlic, one glass of red wine, 2 tins of chopped tomatoes, 400g each, a few bay leaves Ask your butcher to slice pork shoulder in thin slices, about 15 slices, flatten the slices of pork shoulder with a meat mallet as even as possible, ... take any meat offcuts plus one more slice of pork shoulder and chop in a food processor with the pancetta, salt & pepper, garlic clove and parsley; lay the slices of pork flat on a board and season with salt, pepper and sprinkle with a little grated Pecorino cheese, then add a little of the processed meat in the centre and wrap around into a roll as tight as possible, repeat with the rest of the meat, when you have used up all the meat slices tie up with kitchen string right around; brown Involtini in olive oil on low heat until brown, deglaze the pan with a glass of red wine, then add the chopped tomatoes, rinse the tomato cans with water and add to the pot, add bay leaves, bring to the boil then simmer for one hours on low heat until the Involtini are cooked. The sauce can be used to serve with a pasta dish and the Involtini are usually served as a main course with a salad, however most Calabrese people eat the Involtini together with a plate of pasta.

20.01.2022 One of the most traditional Christmas sweet, Bocconotti Calabresi, short pastry filled with jam, simply divine! From my 1st book "Learn Cook Enjoy." BOCCONOTTI CALABRESI 500gr 00 plain flour (16 oz) 00 flour Pure icing sugar 250g (8 oz) powdered sugar Unsalted butter 200g (6.5 oz) butter... Baking powder 8g, one heaped teaspoon Egg 2 whole Yolks 2 Grated zest of one lemon Put in an electric mixer: flour, sugar, chopped butter and baking powder with dough hook until the mixture resembles crumbs. Then add eggs and yolks until mixture is just coming together. Do not over mix dough or it will be too hard to handle. Refrigerate mixture up to 12 hours before using. For the bocconotti you will need some tin moulds for small tarts. The shape can be whatever you choose, i.e. round or oval and so on. When you are ready to make bocconotti, take pastry out of fridge 15 minutes before. Spray moulds with vegetable spray, to stop pastry sticking, put then on a baking tray and refrigerate while you start rolling the pastry. Roll pastry into cm thick sheet and cut pastry with pastry cutter and line the bocconotti moulds with the pastry, remove any excess from the edges. Put one teaspoon of filling, jam or whatever else you are using as filling, top with a lid of pastry making sure the top is smooth. Brush bocconotti with some egg yolk. Refrigerate for hour before cooking, oven temperature 160C (325F ) for 15 minutes. This recipe will yield approximately 30 40 bocconotti depending on the size of the moulds.

Imburrate e infarinate degli stampini; trascorso il tempo necessario stendete la pasta ricavando una sfoglia dallo spessore di circa 3mm. e rivestite con essa gli stampini, tagliando l’eccedenza sul bordo, distribuite negli stampini la confettura. Stendete i ritagli della frolla tagliandone piccoli pezzi per posare sui stampini come coperchio. Pennellate i bocconotti con un poco di tuorlo d’uovo. Collocate i bocconotti su una placca e mettere in frigo prima di cuocere, circa mezzoretta. Passate i bocconotti in forno gia caldo (160C) per 15 20 minuti, dipende dal vostro forno; quando i bocconotti sono freddi levateli dai stampini e spolverate con zucchero a velo.
