If you are going to Taste of Dublin for the first time in your life, there are a few things you should know.
Skitikkio’s Travels: a weekend in Pisa
I have a dear friend in Pisa and from time to time I go to meet her. With the imminent bank holiday I thought, “What a better way of spending the weekend?”.
Frittata Crowned Artichokes
When I go back in Sicily I always take the chance to dust off some family recipe with my mum .
Last time it was the turn of crowned artichokes. How do you “crown” an artichoke? With a bit of technique and a tempting frittata, of course!
Including the typical products coming from the rural areas surrounding Palermo (artichokes, eggs, pecorino cheese), this is a traditional peasant dish. When artichokes are in season, it is a a very popular Sunday lunch “must” on Sicilian tables. In the south of Italy, artichokes are definitely more common and affordable than we are used in Ireland. So you can prepare it with a few euro and you can also have a very rich sauce to season your pasta.
