I Introduce Myself

I close the eyes and think at beautiful moments passed in the places that I have had the pleasure to visit.

The memory of the words exchanged with people that I will not meet more, feel smell of a cake eaten for case in a place for case and…not forget more the sapore..

Conserve of every place the colors, the scents, the culture.

I'm Italia of the south, I have 35 years and two beautiful twin children . Open this blog is for me like opening the doors of my house, propose my recipes and receive the yours, make known to you our traditions and know those yours, to make along travel through the wealth of the foods that my earth offers every day and portami to house something of yours. I am Italian, and I decided to write a blog in English to learn (I ask excuse for the errors!!) and because I would want to share all this with who as me through the kitchen it succeeds to dream…

RISO PATATE E COZZE




Riso patate e cozze is dish a historic tradition in Puglia.
My mother-in-law taught me how to do it and I must say it is thebest I've ever eaten.
She also adds the zucchini thinly cut but personally I prefer the classic version that uses potatoes, mussels, rice and cheese.




Ingredients
  
35, 27 oz (1 kg) of mussels
7, 05 oz (200 gr) of rice
garlic
parsley
grated cheese
tomatoes
potatoes

(To open the mussels could be useful to the video on You tube)




In a pan add the garlic, parsley, oil and a little salt.
In a bowl, thoroughly clean the mussels and toss just a shell with the fruit inside.
Make a layer of mussels and add a handful of rice, parsley, some salt, cheese and olive oil (about three tablespoons), cover with very thinly sliced ​​potatoes and tomatoes.
Redo the second layer in the same way.
Remaking the last layer, placing mussels, rice, potatoes and tomatoes.
Season with garlic, cheese, parsley, olive oil.
Cover the pan with water and put it on the gas and bring to boil for five minutes.
Advice: do not throw water mussels, but put it aside and pour into baking dish before putting it on the gas; the potatoes and tomatos should be sliced ​​very thin; do not open the mussels in the pan on why fire should be used raw.
