Stewed Yellow Capsicums

I got the capsicums from my aunt Alice veggie garden in the North East of Veneto, Italy, and this year they were huge! Here a photo when green... .... And after a week of sun! We cooked them like this: Stewed Yellow Capsicums Chop and onion, a carrot, a stalk of celery and 4 (huge) capsicums. Place in a pot with a little olive oil and sauté for a few minutes. Simmer on low, keeping the pot covered and stirring from time to time for about 40 minutes to one hour. The vegetables should have enough water and as long as you keep the heat very low you probably won't need to add water. I add the salt only halfway through the cooking. The can be used as a side vegetable but also to dress pasta or polenta. They can also be blended into a sauce. Photos by Alessandra Zecchini ©

Mozzarella for my daughter

Photo by Alessandra Zecchini © My 11 years old loves the mozzarella presentation of a TV ad that we have here in Italy, and as a surprise I made it for her. Basically you just have to cut a mozzarella into two, like if it was a bread roll, and put inside a big slice of beef tomato. I also added a few leaves of rocket salad. Then I put some extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper on top, and served. One each. Decadent!!!!!!!
