Grigliata mista a Sa Pa. Una buona parte dello street food vietnamita è costituito da pietanze grigliate corre in fornelli improvvisati. Ci sono motorini che girano che sul portapacchi hanno tutto: vetrina, griglia, piatti e guidatore (cuoco). Questo era un posto molto più chic (tra virgolette) in quanto era all’interno di un giardino. All’ingresso c’era un bel tavolo con tutti i tagli di carne e verdure da scegliere per essere grigliati. Questo è il risultato finale (ovviamente non c’è solamente la mia carne ma anche quella della Dao). Se guardate bene, c’è anche una parte che a me fa un po’ orrore: la zampa di gallina (di cui vi ho già scritto un post here). Il resto della carne: manzo, maiale, bacon, interiora ed un würstel.
Carpaccio di Manzo ad Ibiza. A me la carne piace in due modi: o ben cotta oppure cruda. Questo era un classico carpaccio gustato ad Ibiza qualche settimana fa. Vorrei farvi notare la decorazione di un fiore commestibile, che raffinatezza. Il tutto fotografato ad Ibiza nel ristorante Casa Maca
Con carpaccio si intende genericamente un piatto a base di fettine di carne o pesce crudi, a cui vengono aggiunti olio o altri ingredienti (salse o scaglie di formaggio grana) a seconda della versione. Il carpaccio proposto da Cipriani consiste in fettine sottilissime di controfiletto di manzo disposte su un piatto e decorate alla Kandinsky, con una salsa che viene chiamata universale. Trattandosi di un piatto da servire crudo, la carne deve sempre essere freschissima e mai decongelata.

Chorizo e pancetta alla plancia. Diversi sono i cibi spagnoli buoni e gustosi e questi due ne sono un ottimo esempio. La tipica salsiccia spagnola, gustosa e saporita, accompagnata da alcune fette di pancetta (anche questa spagnola) tagliata spessa. Tutto cucinato alla plancia (alla griglia). Forse un incubo per chi soffre di colesterolo alto ma ne puo’ valere la pena ogni tanto!

The genoese meat sauce of my home, the recipe Today I will briefly explain the recipe for Genoese meat ragù as I know how to prepare it.
In plenty of olive oil, fry chopped onion with a clove of garlic. Add a nice piece of beef and a medium sausage and brown everything well. Moisten with red wine and, once dried, add a few pieces of dried mushrooms and some pureed tomatoes. Cook slowly for an hour. Remove the meat, chop it, and put it back in the sauce to cook for another hour.
At this point the sauce is ready!

A fresh beef tartare. I am a fanatic of raw meat. My favorite is carpaccio but I don't mind beef tartare (or battuta) at all. This was the appetizer offered at the dinner at Estoril in Genoa (I'll also leave you the review on Tripadvisor), a short time ago. I have to say that I liked it and also the presentation of the dish was satisfactory!

The name comes from the legend according to which the nomadic Tartar people, originally from Central Asia, not having time to cook, placed dried meat under the saddles of their horses to find it softened at mealtime. In Piedmontese cuisine we also find a dish made with knife-beaten meat (this preparation has the advantage of not “squeezing” the meat, as happens with normal machine mincing) and diced garlic, the so-called carn crua (“raw meat”) or salada ‘d carn crua (“raw meat salad”), seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice.

La rinomata ed ottima salama da sugo di Ferrara. Se i cappellacci sono al primo posto come piatto di Ferrara, la salama da sugo lo è tra i secondi. Un insaccato di maiale gustosissimo, forse addirittura troppo gustoso, accompagnato da un immancabile purè di patate. Mangiata ovviamente a Ferrara nel ristorante Ostinato.
Hai mai assaggiato la salama da sugo? Lascia un commento cliccandohere.
Viene preparata macinando varie parti del maiale quali coppa del collo, guanciale, polpa magra derivante dalla rifilatura della coscia, destinata alla produzione del prosciutto e dalla spalla, si aggiunge una piccola percentuale di lingua e fegato, alle quali, nella ricetta contemporanea, vengono aggiunte sale, pepe, noce moscata.

Blood sausage or berodo. Blood sausage, which is called in many ways (here in Liguria it is called berodo) and prepared in many ways, is a preparation that, as far as I know, is made throughout the non-Muslim world: it is nothing more than a way to recover pig's blood, a precious source of proteins, fats and other ingredients... I have always tasted this product when I found it, and I have found excellent ones both when made with dark chocolate and when put in small casings and mixed with chilli pepper in Mexico. However, when you buy a blood sausage, it has actually already been prepared by the butcher and then subjected to an initial boil. The fresh blood must immediately be mixed with milk and you must continue stirring to prevent it from coagulating. At this point the further preparation process depends on the habits, cultures and traditions of the places and countries. Years ago, I saw the blood sausages prepared by Lindo, a local pork butcher who was called by the families who, often with sacrifice, raised and then slaughtered a pig. For me, however, the absolute master of the preparation of salami and blood sausages was Mr. Lino Marcenaro and his two assistants: Franco and Carlo who later became a great traveler of exotic countries and who is one of my oldest and dearest friends. The blood, still fresh, is mixed with fresh milk, continuing to mix with spices, salt and pine nuts, which must be abundant even if expensive; naturally I do not know the doses which must be secret. The blood sausages, just closed with the same technique used for sausages, must be put to boil to have the first cooking. This is how we find them at the butcher's. At home we cook them simply boiled for a few minutes but decorated by mixing some side dishes from Swiss cuisine: sandy potatoes (cut into wedges, blanched in water and then sautéed in butter and breadcrumbs), slices of Rennet apples (peeled, cut into wedges and then slowly cooked in water slightly acidulated with lemon and sprinkled with cinnamon) and finally with sautéed cabbage (cut not too finely and cooked with a little oil, salt and sprinkled with white wine and, at the end, with a drop of vinegar). Enjoy your meal!

Malaysian street food. Often what is sold in restaurants is also called street food. Well these photos were taken at a stall on the main road of Langkawi, Malaysia. There is a bit of everything (or at least it seems so to me): fish, shellfish, chicken... all with abundant greasy sauces. If you close your eyes to health it is certainly all delicious. I can't tell you for sure because I only took the photos and didn't take anything.

Kebab: not my ideal food. My son asked me to write him something about a dish he recently ate in Malaysia: kebab. As far as I know, it's a bit of a piece of junk... it's a bit like a hamburger, you can put anything in it. The real kebab (kebab means skewer) originated in Turkey and other neighboring Muslim countries; consists of layers of mutton meat overlapping and alternating with mutton fat. To cut it, you use a long, wide knife that cuts by trimming the meat closest to the fire and which is collected with a special spatula. The cooked meat is wrapped in unleavened bread and served with the addition of spicy sauce. From Turkey, this dish passed to Greece, which made it a dish for tourists or sailors like my son… In Greece, however, instead of mutton, they use pork or chicken because they are less expensive, wrapped in this bread together with fried potatoes, salad and tomatoes mixed with a very low quality sauce… In Greece the dish is called Ghyros. From Greece, the dish then passed to us… and there are people who buy it…
Not long ago there were several articles here about a kind of mafia that owns these small establishments where they said very low quality meat was served and there were health problems and other things… That's all I know. A piece of advice I give to my son: don't eat this food if you can!

Shawarma (Arabic: شاورما, in turn from the Turkish çevirme), is a Middle Eastern meat dish. Although the word derives from the Turkish çevirme, meaning "turning", in Turkey this preparation is called döner kebabı; in Greece it is called γύρος gyros, and in the latter case it is mainly made from pork, an animal excluded from food consumption by populations of the Islamic religion.

Chicken bbq a Singapore. Ancora una foto di cibo asiatico gustato nella Chinatown di Singapore. Anche se ho messo il titolo in inglese spero che tutti abbiate capito di cosa si tratta: pollo alla griglia con verdure e riso. Non e’ proprio un barbecue all’italiana o all’americana (con dei bei pezzi di carne interi cotti sulla fiamma viva) ma e’ asian style. Se vi piace il tipo di cucina pero’, devo dirvi che era molto gustoso.
