Dinner has been weird this week, because I'm in a cooking funk, need to find some new recipes!
Here we have an old fave, fave e cicorie.
Then we had fried zucchini flowers, three different kinds of peppers (peperoni amollicati, which has onions, bread crumbs and vinegar, roasted peppers with olive oil and capers and fried friggitelli peppers) and barbecued chicken with an alla diavola marinade. The flowers didn't come out great. I stuffed some with ricotta and anchovy but the ricotta was a little too watery and they were essentially ruined.
We are always looking for everyday bubbles because we are bubble-dependent, especially for the aforementioned fried zucchini flowers. This is our latest bottle to try. It costs 15 euros a bottle. I used to get amazing Franciacorta from a little-known grower, but he and his wife both got Covid and passed away and his son decided to rent the vineyards to another larger winery. They only have about 5,000 bottles left.
Pasta e fagioli made with fresh Borlotti beans.
And finally there was some (sort of) Singapore chicken rice, with sweet soy sauce and chili sauce. It's one of our favorite dishes.
