Posted: 29 May 2021 07:00 AM PDT  These recipes from our archives are a mix of those options for the grill and grill pan, but moving between the two is fairly simple. Keep the heat level the same (medium, high, etc.), though the timing may vary. On an outdoor grill, you also have the option of moving food to indirect heat should you be concerned about burning or overcooking. Want to take your burgers over the top? Try a homemade bun recipe, such as Cookout Burger and Hot Dog Buns or Brioche Buns. And now, here's what to put between them:  |

20 vegetarian dishes from each of Italy's 20 regions - SBS Posted: 25 May 2021 04:38 PM PDT --- Catch the brand-new second season of Cook Like an Italian with Silvia Colloca at 8pm Thursdays on SBS Food and streaming free on SBS On Demand ---
Vegetarian dishes from Italy are as diverse as the country's 20 regions, which are laden with quality produce. The variety and calibre of vegetarian food in Italy has led it to become sought after around the world. Here is a vegetarian dish from each of Italy's regions for you to consider for your next meal. Abruzzo Ciabotto Abruzzese is a simple summer vegetable stew. It mixes sautéed spring vegetables like zucchini, potatoes, onions, eggplant and tomatoes with wine and olive oil. Basilicata Stuffed eggplant, Basilicata style, is probably one of the easiest baked eggplant recipes to make. This is because the eggplant pulp is kept and a herbed breadcrumb mixture is worked into a scored vegetable flesh. To finish, more breadcrumb mix is decorated on top of the eggplant before it is baked. HOW TO COOK EGGPLANTS Calabria Lagane e cicciari fuses history with pasta and chickpeas. Lagane is thick durum wheat pasta (also found in Campania and Basilicata) that's believed to be one of the oldest dry pastas in Italy, dating back around 2,500 years. When the pasta is combined with chickpeas, rosemary, garlic, onions, parsley and chilli, it perfectly suits vegetarian tastes. Campania Silvia Colloca, host of SBS Food program, Cook Like An Italian, creates a gnocchi alla sorrentina in series two, using a regional recipe familiar to the coastal town of Sorrento. The comfort dish is typically made with uncomplicated ingredients of tomatoes, garlic and basil (used to make a sauce) and potato gnocchi. Emilia-Romagna Crescentine (also called tigelle or crescenza) is a popular street food found in the Modena area, resembling an English muffin. The flat bread is made with warm milk, yeast, and flour and deep-fried in oil. Although it's common to stuff the bread with cured meats and cheese, it's also eaten plain or served flavoured with garlic and rosemary. A POPULAR BOLOGNA STREET FOOD Friuli- Venezia Giulia Try the traditional Friulian prune-stuffed gnocchi dish, gnocchi di prugne, which hails from the city of Trieste, for a savoury and sweetness hit. The potato dumplings, stuffed with prunes, are finished with parmesan cheese, butter, breadcrumbs and cinnamon. You can eat them for dinner or dessert. Latium (Lazio) You have Rome to thank for alla Romana (carciofi alla Romana). Round Roman artichokes are stuffed with mint, parsley, garlic, lemon and salt. They are then cooked in a mix of water and olive oil, before they are served tender. ROMAN ARTICHOKES
Marche Go no further than Marche for deep-fried vegetables (verdure fritte), which can be served alone or as part of a mixed fried platter. You can use zucchini, artichoke or eggplant — although vegetables in season are always best. Liguria Combine two Ligurian specialities with the dish, pasta di Liguria trenette. The meal uses trenette — a long type of narrow, dried flat pasta that's similar to linguine and fettuccine, and works well with Ligurian pesto. Add green beans and potato to the pesto pasta and you've got a dish that captures the flavours of Italy's northwest. Lombardia To make minestrone soup that's true to Lombardy, like minestrone alla Lombarda otherwise called minestrone with risoni, use lots of fresh vegetables, rice and Parmesan cheese. PACKED WITH NUTRITION There's an option to add pork or pancetta to the soup, but if you want to go vegetarian, omit the meat. Serve the soup hot in winter and cold in summertime. Molise When you live in Molise in southern Italy, a region that's home to forests and mountain ranges, you've got permission to enjoy lots of hearty dishes. One of these is baked fettuccine with tomato and mozzarella or fettuccine con salsa di aromi. Use tomatoes, garlic, mint, basil, parsley and chilli to make your sauce. Drizzle over cooked pasta before topping with cheese and baking. Piemonte This region is famed for tajarin pasta, hailing from Piedmont, made with only egg yolks. To make the silky pasta into a rounded meal, pair it with a simple sage and butter sauce. Puglia (Apulia) One of Italy's flattest regions, Puglia, is famous for orecchiette: 'little ears' of durum wheat pasta. Toss the pasta with cime di rape or turnip tops, a bitter green that comes into season throughout the region in autumn. Sardegna (Sardinia) Traditional flatbread from Sardinia, pane carasau, is so thin that it has acquired a second name — carta da musica meaning 'sheet music'. The idea is that when you roll out the dough, it should be so thin that you can clearly read a sheet of music through it. Cook the unique bread twice and savour its crunch. Try it for breakfast Sicilia (Sicily) Sicilian vegetable stew (caponata Siciliana) has many versions throughout the island. But for a truly vegetarian recipe, stick to the vegetables that make the dish famous — mainly eggplant as well as zucchini, tomatoes, onion, red and yellow capsicum. Add basil, capers, pine kernels and raisins to your heart's content. Toscana (Tuscany) According to Silvia Colloca, the Tuscan method of stuffing zucchini flowers with herbed ricotta cheese and then baking them is one of Tuscany's "most elegant vegetarian dishes". Zucchini flowers are best picked in spring. This dish can be served as an appetiser or first course. Trentino-Alto Adige (Trentino-South Tyrol) Schlutzkrapfen (or mezzelune) is a semi-circle shaped pasta, filled with spinach, ricotta and potato, which are native to this mountainous area bordering Switzerland and Austria. Toss the pasta in brown butter and serve with a fresh grating of Grana Padano cheese on top. Umbria To celebrate the flavours of this region, make an Umbrian lentil soup (zuppa di lenticchie di Castelluccio) using small Castelluccio lentils if you can find them. But if you can't, opt to feature French puy lentils instead. The soup features a soffritto and includes tomato concentrate, white wine and stock. WARMS YOU UP IN WINTER Valle d'Aosta (Aosta Valley) Here's your chance to eat hot cheese for dinner: create a fonduta alla Valdostana — a Valle d'Aosta-style fondue. To stick to tradition and honour the alpine region, use Fontina cheese melted into a sauce thickened with egg yolks. Pair the hearty fondue with potatoes, green vegetables or pickles.
Veneto Rice and pea risotto (risi e bisi) is quite soup like, with the peas and rice intentionally floating in a thick vegetable broth. The dish is traditionally served at the annual Doge's banquet on the feast day of St Mark, the patron of Veneto's capital city of Venice. COOK LIKE AN ITALIAN

Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for spaghetti with roast almond and tomato pesto - The Guardian Posted: 29 May 2021 02:30 AM PDT British tomatoes have had a bad press over the years, being often labelled as flavourless or watery, which may explain why I can't think of a British dish that heralds the fruit in its raw form. But things have changed. Go to any farmers' market these days, and you'll find delicious varieties from Kent to the Isle of Wight, so now is the time to indulge in raw tomato recipes. One of the best is today's dish, a take on the Sicilian pasta alla Trapanese, in which tomatoes are grated fresh into a paste of roast almonds, then mixed with basil and the best olive oil you can get your hands on to form a glorious, fresh pesto. Spaghetti with roast almond and tomato pestoYou'll need a food processor to make the pesto, though you could also make it in a large mortar with a lot of elbow grease. Prep 15 min 100g skin-on almonds Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6 and spread out the almonds and one of the garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes, then remove and leave to cool. Once the nut mix has cooled, tip it all into a food processor, add the second garlic clove, the basil, oil and salt, and blitz to a semi-coarse paste. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Salt generously, then cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions, until al dente. Carefully remove half a mug's worth (about 100ml) of the pasta cooking water, put to one side, then drain the spaghetti and return it to the empty pan. Stir in the almond and basil pesto, then add the tomatoes and rocket, and toss the lot together, loosening the mix with the pasta water a splash at a time until it is a lovely, saucy consistency. Transfer to four plates, top with a couple of basil leaves, drizzle over some good olive oil and dig in.  |
