Skewers of fish: Fried, au gratin, or grilled



The fish skewers are a great second course suitable for all seasons; light and tasty skewers are very easy to prepare and lend themselves to different types of cooking.

Generally, the basic ingredients used are very similar (depending on your preferences, we may use only shellfish or other fish with a good texture), and the difference lies in the ingredients for cooking according to the selected recipe.


To prepare the fish skewers for four people the basic ingredients are:
- 250 grams of squid
- 200 grams of squid
- 250 grams of squid
- 1 lemon
- 1 clove of garlic
- 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons of parsley
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper q.b.

The first critical step is to wash the fish, clean it and dry it; then put in a bowl large chopped parsley and garlic, add the bread crumbs, salt and pepper.

Now slip on wooden skewers fish, before passing it in bread crumbs to spice. We then heat the oil in a frying pan and put to fry the skewers, making sure to turn them on both sides. Bathe the whole with a glass of white wine and cook for two minutes; At this point sprinkle the skewers with the remaining bread crumbs and let brown for two minutes. Withdraw them from the pan, bagniamoli with the juice of a lemon and a drizzle of olive oil and let us serve while still hot.

An alternative to the skewers in a pan are the skewers of fish baked potatoe, these are the ingredients:
- scallops
- shrimp
- Monkfish
- cuttlefish
- breadcrumbs
- Doggy
- parsley
- Oil

We clean and wash the cuttlefish, shrimp glide and cut the monkfish into cubes not too small. Slip all over the skewers, alternating the varieties of fish. At this point we prepare the gratin: tritiamo the garlic finely and mix it with the parsley breadcrumbs to which we added a good handful of cheese.
Then we roll the skewers in this "breading" and poniamoli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, once laid down, cospargiamoli with the gratin and advanced spruzziamoli with a few drops of water (to avoid drying out during cooking and then become too dry) and a drizzle of olive oil. Then bake at 180 degrees until golden brown.

Obviously the choice of the fish with which to proceed to the preparation of the skewer varies depending on the tastes and availability; the skewers can also be garnished with pieces of bell pepper, tomato or zucchini (in each case of the vegetables that they will not cover then the flavor of the fish).

The skewers are also ideal to be cooked on the grill, maybe at a good seafood barbecue.

All recipes are light, fast and easy to prepare ... we just have to decide how to enjoy our seafood skewers!

SOUP TO GENOA (minestrone genuense) - Vittoria Traversa




Soup recipes there are many, each family has its own. The doses to the eye do better to put less water and then add it later because it does not have to be sloppy, but nice dense. Tradition says that the spoon planted inside must remain standing!!

ingredients:
onion,
little marjoram,
parsley and dried mushrooms chopped fine,
one or two cloves of garlic to be removed before it disfino,
a dried tomatoes into small pieces or two fresh diced (preferably peeled)
carrots and leek slices,
potatoes, celery,
zucchini,
pumpkin,
green beans into small pieces,
fresh borlotti beans (or soaked dried and prebolliti)
peas (even frozen),
seasonal fresh fava beans,

Swiss chard and cabbage small (little) into strips,
a piece of parmesan crust well scraped and washed,
water (I do not use dice, but you can add one if you want),
exv oil, salt and pepper,

1 tablespoon or two of pesto (basil, garlic, parmesan, pecorino, pine nuts, oil exv)
grated Parmesan cheese

The classic recipe, sautéed with spices and mushrooms in oil exv, I do not do it though, because it is lighter.

I put all the vegetables and herbs in cold water with a little oil, a little salo and port to a boil. At this point, add the parmesan crust and I boil for a long time (at least 2 hours) so that the potatoes disfino.

Every once in a while I crush 'the vegetables with the backs of the spoon. After cooking a soup should remain fairly firm.

Only then add the olive oil and pesto which must not cook. I correct salt and condisco even with little pepper.

The parmesan crust that will become soft should be cut into small pieces, one for each diner, not to quarrel on the table (it's delicious).
In each table, then add olive oil and parmesan cheese to taste. If you want the dough you have to leave a little 'more soupy and throw it in the last fifteen minutes of cooking.
The formats are suitable thimbles scratched or better "briquettes" which are like broken spaghetti or short the "scruccuzzun", balls of dough lasts about 3 mm diameter which hold fine cooking and also in the rest minestrone for hours without becoming soft. The soup is best warm and summer cool (not ice cream) is very much appreciated.
