Breakfast in Italy
Every Italian town has its own recipe to make cheese, and there are about 400 different kinds of cheese; sausages, with at least 300 types of sausage; and wine, don’t ask for Chianti indiscriminately, people are probably very proud of their local wine; however, their breakfast customs are pretty uniform. Breakfast is a small meal in Italy. Never mind, they will make up for it later at lunch, the most important meal, and dinner, also a social occasion.
Healthy Italian wedding soup
A hearty soup for the newlyweds is an Italian wedding tradition.
Spicy crab polenta
Polenta is a good alternative to the usual potatoes, rice and pasta. It is readily available in most supermarkets and easy to cook.
Shrimp, zucchini and leek risotto
This risotto is virtually fat free. Very comforting on cold winter days.
Lemon shrimp risotto
Risotto is great comfort food. An added plus point: Because it’s naturally so creamy you don’t really need much oil or fat for cooking. You can make a risotto meal out of virtually any ingredients you have on hand. This recipe combines shrimp, lemon and spring onions but you can experiment with fish and mushrooms too. Add a handful of chopped chillies if you like it hot!
