Today I
bring you 3 tips I got from reading
Ingredienti by Marcella Hazan. I
will be interested to see if you agree with her approach
Beefsteak Tomato – these lovely big tomatoes should be peeled before being
sliced. Then pour a good red wine
vinegar over the slices along with a little bit of garlic oil or oil and garlic
before turning the slices over a few times.
Tomatoes should
always be peeled if they are going into a salad. And they should be brought to room
temperature before they are added to a salad.
Spinach should be blanched (dipped very
quickly in boiling water and then cooled right away by ice or cold water) and
dried before it is sautéed in oil and garlic.
Interesting tips! Will give them all a try for sure!
ReplyDeleteI never consider peeling a tomato before putting it in a salad. I do love the idea of peeling then infusing with garlic oil. That sounds awesome!
