Pizza di Scarole

(27/3/19)

Today, we had our second cooking lesson from Ida and we made Pizza di Scarole. This is a traditional Neapolitan dish and is very popular among southerns. You can often find versions of the recipe in shops and cafes throughout the south of Italy.

There are not as many stages to this recipe in comparison to the fresh pasta and bolognese sauce we made last week but it was equally as tasty. We started by talking through the recipe and learning any new vocabulary.

lievito di birra – yeast

uovo per spennellare – egg for brushing/painting

scarola – lettuce

pinoli – pine nuts

uvetta – raisins

spicchio d’aglio – clove of garlic

cucchari – tablespoon

peperoncino – chilli pepper

Then we fried the lettuce mixture and made the pastry. We added both to a tray and then cooked it in the oven for about 30 minutes. Lunch was good!!
