Ice Princess and savory strudel

UhUhUh! What a disappointment!

not spend € 18.50 per heavy "the new Agatha Christie Sweden: Ice Princess Camilla Lackberg (Marsilio Butterfly) is a galactic ravanare! Following the success dell'osannato Larsson, the Scandinavian crime writers have flourished as lichens in the contemporary literary scene but, believe me, because I have dozens of ground, a few were able to escape mediocrity. Six in the

Mankell prolific, which is not surprising, but not without trade, seven to Larsson, who is an honest journalist, although capable of superb plots, but excellence is only Icelandic Indridasson: crisp and composed in writing, I find it an exceptional performer desolation of the Arctic island of ice. The others do not reach enough.

Lackberg And, among all, he gets a three final. Boring

the edge of the soporific, shuffle insipid dialogue and characters that define discount is an understatement. 458 pages of platitudes, without a single twist worthy of spending. If you have bought, bad for you. If he had the intention, give up, unless you need sleeping pills and the doctor refuses to prescribe.

Well, today I am disappointed and a bit pissed off, so I go into the kitchen and groped to forget the last hours of pain costs.

A chicken breast and some bunch of radicchio peep waiting for redemption, and I pick up the challenge: salty strudel tonight, but my way.

hate the pastry: it is always too greasy and stuffed with wet ingredients, remains soggy after cooking forno.Quindi a robust, long live the strudel and pies, but with the crust! After a solid experience, to do it by hand takes 10 minutes, and is an investment on their manual worth: with simple ingredients that we all have in the pantry, you invent a dish of effect that can resolve an emergency. A couple of ounces of flour on a pastry piled with a good pinch of salt, one egg, and (alas) a good pound of cold butter chopped. It mixes quickly, helping the top with a knife, preventing heat the mixture, which otherwise tends to "burn" and to harden. If the mixture so requires, should be added sparingly, a little cold water until dough is elastic and compact. The ball is then covered with plastic wrap and stuck it in the refrigerator until the filling is ready.

The usual fried slow and patient time should be made with 3 or 4 shallots, sweeter and more delicate and cooked before, but you usually onion, provided it is treated with all the trappings, ie without EVER burn, otherwise it becomes bitter. To advanced stage of cooking, say half an hour later, add the shallots radicchio (a good clump is sufficient) is reduced to pieces, thinner at the base and a little wider towards the tip. It takes about ten minutes we spend in a little oil for browning chicken breast half, diced regular. Climb both ingedienti and assemble them, giving them a few moments of intimacy because they learn to know each other. Turn oven to 180 degrees.

Now it takes a bit of sauce. Yes, I know it's already a while that spignattiamo, but a few tablespoons of binder is needed, and I promise I will take only few minutes: a large knob of butter is melted up to sizzle, throw two large tablespoons of flour, which absorbs suddenly the fat and cake in a flash. Be careful not to burn, stirring vigorously and without losing the government of the situation, pour the milk, beginning a short time, leaving absorb before adding the other. You must achieve a soft mass without lumps (only if you were patient and constant in the mix vigorously with the whip!) the consistency of a liquid cream. It is not necessary to wait for 20 minutes to cook the flour canonical (otherwise indigestible) because there will be complete in the oven and cooking. Just add salt and chicken and radicchio, creamy giving everything, without exaggerating the amount: the result will be a compound bound and creamy, but not liquid.

regained the ball of crust, we're going to smatterellarla quickly without heating up a nice piece of floured parchment paper, creating an elongated and thin to get a strudel. Now just place the mixture and close the dough, sealing the edges with a layer of water that acts as glue. Since we have worked on the card, just transfer everything to the pan and then straight into the oven for half an hour, checking that it gets too dark.

Then let it rest quietly and do not cut it before it's warm, so the filling is more compact. The bitterness of radicchio

enhances the sweetness and texture of the chicken pieces, linked by soft cream and shallot sauce, pasta crust is firm but not cloying as the pastry.

short, a triumph of flavors and textures, perfect for Lackberg forget Camilla and her literary abominations!

CHICORY AND LENTILS

post title that seems to be a film of Toto!
free afternoon today, spent between the end of "Death follows the Magi" by Hans Tuzzi and maintaining one of those meals that warm the heart on a cold day in February. Just finished the last page, are already in withdrawal symptoms. Tuzzi moves in a Milan of the eighties, completely foreign to the "Milano to drink." Is fueled by artistic and literary quotations that have nothing to "read", but instead present fully embedded in a narrative that runs through the world of art collecting. The Commissioner Melis Milan is a city and gloomy painful, softened by regret for the protagonist's old restaurants with home cooking and the lost splendor of the palaces Umbertine, now colonized by the new financial powers. The plot is solid, the characters believable and well delineated. Yellow is an excuse to talk about other things, but stand up to the end and goes to a gallery of emotions and genuine poetry.
close the last page and I say, and now what? Are orphaned again, as every time I finish a powerful book leaves more questions than answers and suggestions. Hans Bravissimo!
to ward off the anxiety, I invent a dinner that warms the limbs and heart. I received a gift of a bag of lentils regardless of S. Stefano di Sessanio: people who love the genre, he knows that they are "the" lentils, then, get set, go!
A nice fry onions should be done as it should, following the dictates of Allan Bay: almost an hour of slow cooking with a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to defeat the tough fiber of the onion and turn it into a soft, sweet mass translucent . I added half a bottle of tomato sauce but good quality industrial and chopped rosemary, sage and fresh thyme (blessed garden!), Salt and pepper and, finally, the proud, tiny rusty lentils (250 grams) hot water to reach a very soupy consistency, and then to cook slowly half-way. After another hour (to peek past the first pages of the next literary adventure), and the soup is cooked. The rest, searching through the shelves of the refrigerator another idea to complete the dinner. Two heads of radicchio, gorgonzola and walnuts: there is not much reason for a dish that, with so little, it becomes almost opulent. The clumps and divide them into two browned in a pan for a few minutes with a little olive oil and a nibble of salt, softens gorgonzola (must be sweet and not spicy to dampen the bitterness of the radicchio) and reduces the walnuts coarsely . I then seared radicchio in a baking dish, the stuffing with plenty of blue cheese, buried under the ribs of the vegetables and sprinkle with crushed walnut, a little oil and go in the oven to 160 degrees, covered with a sheet of parchment paper.
I spent twenty minutes I spend in order to continue reading "The prompter," the first substantial work of Carroll, which a colleague told me a lot of good. Dinner
no smell of vegetables and flavors are simple but well-defined, as the night drew up a blue blanket of dirty snow still on the roads.

MORE SNOW IN THE CITY '

It snowed again last night and this morning, heart skipped a beat.

Esco half afternoon, after having performed the tedious tasks of Saturday morning and I obey the usual reminder that leads me to Straccis. Nothing to do: I could go somewhere else, in any other area of \u200b\u200bthis city, which retains the atmosphere of the century noble Habsburg lapsed. I like his decent buildings, palm trees in the gardens, the little 'melancholy of decay and faded roses of winter. But the legs go north, towards that anonymous cross between Via and Via Casale Brigade Brigade Pavia, where he began the "ghetto".

Just take the quick descent to Viale Colombo, appear the heights of Calvary, where the snow reveals terraces and small clearings, otherwise invisible. The sky is sponge compact ash and acacia veiled by a hazy fog that shrivels the heart. The miasma of the Horn take the throat and Columbus Avenue is deserted. Squalid buildings ocher, rust and pistachio, built in the fifties for the workers in blue overalls stained with grease, another village where there was segregation of the two thousand workers in the factories Ritter.

I smell the fifties, dairies with flypaper hanging from the ceiling and scooters parked under the house. I do not know why, but I feel at home. Inside the dusty porches of apartment buildings aged and ill, there are spiders of wrought iron and ceramic medallions with the image of the Good Pope. There are no more Workers in blue overalls and wives with the robes from home. Today, the North African ghetto welcomes families and Nigerians that the day of the Manzano swallows in some factory, or shipped through the streets with a bag on his back to dispose of paper towels and linens.

A few hundred meters, the family houses of the sixties marked the end of the "ghetto". Reappearance of gardens and villas of the early-middle-class Gorizia dignified and sleepy to survive itself.

The white blanket has become a dirty and slippery glaze and rain sad artificial snow.

INSTEAD OF MOUNTAIN

Bora angry today. I had to go to the mountains, but the case of my life I have held this city in the Arctic still blanketed by snow yesterday.

Thus, an unusually short post: the chicken salad Cecchi.

It 's a recipe, yes. But one particular recipe, with the scent of ginger and slow, which has now given birth to my day.

So, off we go. It 's a simple dish, and then go well the less valuable chicken, even those that supermarkets, in dark times of recession, put on sale more often. To save money, the fins would be ideal, but shelled in his hands like eels when trying to remove their skin, which would make the broth too fat. We say Thigh or thighs, which are quieter and allow themselves to undress. Enough for four three or four pieces, and peel oils. I put the chicken to boil with a bay leaf, celery and onion. Besides I boil two large potatoes, two carrots, peeled and firming two eggs. In a bowl put stoned black olives (I like the Greek kalamata) and some pickled caper. You can add a little 'tuna in olive oil (just a box of 80 gr), but it is better not to mess and simplify the ingredients to give way to flavors. When

chicken, vegetables and eggs are cooked, should be reduced to the first strips, cubes, and the second and washers. Mix well together and season with salt and olive oil and a good grating of fresh ginger, which gives an exotic touch to this simple salad. Then dilute a tablespoon of mayonnaise (also good for the industrial purpose) with yoghurt and a few tablespoons of chicken broth, making it more fluid and reduces the intake of fat.

Moral of the story: a second very pleasant for a total of four people that costs less than five Euros, including a first based on chicken broth, in which a cook stracciatella or any other topping of your choice, perfect for the moments in which the resources now running out.
