RECIPES

 

The monthly recipe by Paola and Marco


Vegetable pie with basil cream, aromatic herbs and sweet vinegar.

Ingredients for 4 people:
350 gr. courgettes
200 gr. potatoes
100 gr. carrots
2 garlic cloves
12 leaves of parsley for the decoration
10 leaves of basil for the sauce
2 soup spoons of Extravergine olive oil
100 ml. vegetable soup
15 gr. mixed sweet herbs (dried, also): origanum, thyme, etc.
Sweet vinegar
Salt

The vegetables’ cooking:
Wash all the vegetables, peel the carrots and the potatoes. Keep gr. 100 of courgettes for the sauce. Cut all the other vegetables in little cubes of 1 cm. and cook them in different waters the potatoes first, then the carrots and, at the end, the courgettes. They must not be cooked too much; then put the vegetables inside cold water to preserve their original colours. In an about 12 cm. cooker put the garlic into the oil, the cut courgettes, the basil leaves and the vegetable soup; make them boiled for about 5 minutes. Put the salt. Take the saucepan off the gas and mixed everything. In an other pan eat the previously cut vegetables with a spoon of Extravergine olive oil, the sweet herbs (gr.5), the salt, and cook for 3 or 4 minutes on a hot fire.

How to prepare the plates:
Put in the centre of each dish a round mould (you can find them in plastic or in stainless steel). Divide the vegetables in equal parts in each of them and push down with the hand. Prepare a base of basil cream around the mould. Sprinkle with the sweet vinegar and put over them the last sweet herbs. Make a decoration with parsley, take off each mould from the dish and serve.

Suggested wine:
The ideal wine for this sort of vegetables must be surely a white one. You could choose among: Sauvignon, Pinot Bianco, Tocai or Verdicchio.
Marco and Paola suggest the Sauvignon di Venica (from Friuli Venezia Giulia).
