Risotto with prawns and cuttlefish, the recipe

Il risotto con gamberi e seppie, la ricetta

Risotto with prawns and cuttlefish, the recipe.
Some time ago I had lunch with my family at the good restaurant Le Gardenie in Riva Trigoso and I enjoyed an excellent risotto with prawns and cuttlefish.
From the photos I took that day I decided to write you the similar recipe to try to make it at home.
I do not guarantee that the result will be at the same level as what I ate that day!

Here is the recipe for a delicious risotto with prawns and cuttlefish:

Ingredients

– 320 g Carnaroli or Arborio rice;
– 200 g prawns (cleaned and shelled);
– 200 g cuttlefish (cleaned and cut into strips);
– 1 onion;
– 2 cloves garlic;
– 1 litre fish stock;
– 1 glass dry white wine;
– 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil;
– 1 knob butter;
– Chopped parsley to taste;
– Salt and pepper to taste;
– Grated lemon zest (optional).

Preparation

First, let's prepare the ingredients: we need to clean the prawns and cuttlefish, cutting the latter into strips and then finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Then we need to make the soffritto: in a large pot, heat the extra virgin olive oil and add the chopped onion and garlic cloves. Fry over medium heat until the onion becomes transparent.
At this point, add the cuttlefish to the pot and cook for a few minutes until they become tender and pour in the white wine and let it evaporate.
Add the rice to the pot and toast it for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.
Now start adding the fish stock, a ladle at a time, stirring continuously and waiting for the stock to be absorbed before adding more. Continue like this for about 15-18 minutes, until the rice is al dente.
About 5 minutes before the end of cooking the rice, add the prawns. Continue stirring and adding the broth until the risotto is cooked to perfection.
Now we finish with the creaming: remove the risotto from the heat, add the knob of butter and mix well to cream the risotto.
Season with salt and pepper.

Now you can plate the risotto, sprinkle with chopped parsley and, if desired, add a little grated lemon zest for a touch of freshness.

The statue of the Nile in the Fountain of the Four Rivers

La statua del Nilo nella Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi a Roma

The Nile statue in the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Rome.
The Fountain of the Four Rivers is one of the most famous works of the famous Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It is located in the Piazza Navona in Rome and was commissioned by Pope Innocent X (born Giovanni Battista Pamphilj) in 1648. The fountain is located in the center of the square and is a masterpiece of Baroque art.
The fountain takes its name from the four rivers represented in the four giant statues located at the base of the central tower. These four rivers are symbols of four of the then known continents: the Nile for Africa, the Ganges for Asia, the Danube for Europe and the Rio de la Plata for the Americas. The statues are made of marble and each is accompanied by an animal or symbol characteristic of the region it represents.
At the center of the fountain is an Egyptian obelisk, an architectural element that was transferred from Ancient Rome to the square by order of Pope Innocent X. The obelisk is crowned by the dove of peace and topped by a gilded bronze globe. This element gives the fountain a remarkable height and grandeur.
The Fountain of the Four Rivers is an impressive work that masterfully mixes art, architecture and symbolism, as often happens in Bernini's works. Its creation required a considerable effort of engineering, and the result is one of the most admired and iconic attractions in Rome.

Eggs in Purgatory Eaten on Ship, the Recipe

Le uova alla purgatorio mangiate in nave, la ricetta

Eggs in purgatory eaten on board, the recipe.
Eggs in purgatory are a traditional Italian dish, particularly popular in the south of the country. This dish with an evocative name is characterized by simple but tasty ingredients, and is often appreciated for its simplicity and goodness.
The recipe requires the use of a few basic ingredients: eggs, tomato, olive oil, garlic and parsley. The preparation is equally simple but the result is a dish rich in flavor.
Here is a basic recipe for preparing eggs in purgatory, taking inspiration from the dish prepared on board by Maitre’d Gianni a few contracts ago.

Ingredients:

– Eggs (as many as you like);
– Ripe tomatoes (preferably peeled and chopped);
– Olive oil;
– Garlic (minced);
– Onion, cut into strips;
– Fresh parsley (minced);
– Salt and pepper to taste.

Procedimento:

In a non-stick pan, heat a little olive oil and add the chopped garlic and onion. Fry lightly without burning them.
Add the chopped or peeled tomatoes and cook for a few minutes, lightly crushing the tomatoes with a wooden spoon to obtain a more homogeneous consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let the sauce cook until it thickens slightly.
Using a spoon, create spaces in the sauce and break the eggs one at a time, cooking them in the sauce without stirring too much. You can leave the eggs whole or stir them lightly, depending on your preference.
Cover the pan with a lid and continue cooking until the eggs are as cooked as you like.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Eggs in Purgatory can be enjoyed on their own or accompanied with crusty bread to mop up the delicious sauce. This dish is a great example of how Italian cuisine can transform simple ingredients into dishes full of authentic flavors.

Posizione: L’orologio è collocato sulla Torre del Pegol, una torre medievale alta circa 30 metri, situata in Piazza Loggia, nel centro storico di Brescia.

Questo tipo di orologio era essenziale nel XVI secolo per le attività agricole e per determinare i tempi liturgici.
Meccanismo: L’orologio è azionato da un meccanismo complesso di ingranaggi e pesi. Il movimento delle lancette è controllato da questo sistema meccanico che, nonostante la sua antichità, continua a funzionare.
Restauri: Nel corso dei secoli, l’orologio ha subito diversi restauri e interventi di manutenzione per preservarne l’integrità e far sì che continuasse a funzionare. L’ultimo grande restauro è avvenuto nel 2001.

The columns of the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum

Le colonne del tempio di Saturno nel Foro Romano

The columns of the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum
The Temple of Saturn (Latin: Templum Saturni) was an ancient Roman temple dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture and wealth. It was located at the foot of the Capitoline Hill, in the western part of the Roman Forum. Its construction dates back to the 5th century BC, but the building we see today dates mainly from the period of the Roman Republic, with some modifications made over the following centuries.
The temple was known for its rich decoration and the famous statue of Saturn inside. The statue of Saturn was traditionally tied and during the Saturnalia festival, which took place in December, the rope was symbolically loosened to represent the release of restrictions.
The current structure of the temple is very partial, with only some remains of the columns and foundations. However, some original columns are still standing, giving an idea of the size and elegance of the building. The ancient part of the Temple of Saturn has been integrated with some later reconstructions, and the exact appearance of the temple has been the subject of debate among archaeologists.
Il Foro Romano, in cui si trova il Tempio di Saturno, è una delle zone archeologiche più importanti e visitate di Roma, offrendo ai visitatori una visione affascinante della vita nella Roma antica attraverso i suoi templi, basiliche, e strutture pubbliche.

Here is where the remains of the temple are located:

The Roman Forum (in Latin Forum Romanum, although the Romans more often referred to it as Forum Magnum or simply Forum) is an archaeological area of Rome enclosed between the Palatine, the Capitoline Hill, Via dei Fori Imperiali and the Colosseum, made up of the stratification of the remains of those buildings and monuments from heterogeneous eras that for much of the ancient history of Rome represented the political, legal, religious and economic centre of the city of Rome, as well as the nerve centre of the entire Roman civilisation.
