We have taken to a traditional Umbrian meal like ducks to water: open grilling in the fireplace. This has been our Saturday meal for the last few months, and something to which we all look forward.
|
First step is to start the fire. |
|
Slice some bread, |
|
then put in the grill. |
|
Prepare the garlic, freshly-pressed olive oil, and salt. |
|
Prepare peppers! |
|
When the coals are ready, shovel them aside |
|
and put the bread on to roast. |
|
When the bread has been toasted, everyone gets DIY bruschetta...scrubbing the rough surface with the fresh garlic, then oil, then salt. |
|
Simultaneously, it's time to start the peppers on the now-cooler coals and let them roast slowly, allowing them to cook through before roasting the skins. |
|
Next course, meat! Pork is traditional, but of course anything is acceptable. |
|
Today, we did "puntarelle" (rib cuts in small chunks) and sausages. |
Mmmmm. Can't wait until next Saturday!
Love,
Alexandra
