Sun dried tomatoes with pecorino & broad beans

This recipe couldn't be more representative of culinary Italian culture: broad beans (long described as 'the poor man's meat' because of their high protein and iron content) are widely used, especially in the south of Italy; sun dried tomatoes, originating from the smart thinking of the farmers, who had to find a way to preserve the produce for colder seasons; and Pecorino Romano, a product made from sheep's milk, mostly produced in Sardinia.

Toasted Panzanella with Auricchio on creamy gazpacho

The Panzanella is a typical dish from central Italy, very famous in Tuscany, Marche and Lazio. The original recipe calls for stale bread, red onion, basil, olive oil, vinegar and salt, but over time some more ingredients, such as fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, have made it onto the list. We suggest to couple it with some fresh homemade gazpacho for an extra taste!

Its name, 'tricolore' (three-coloured), refers to its colours, which are the same as the Italian flag - red, white and green. This recipe features one of the most delicious mozzarella, the buffalo one.
