Per la ricetta della pizza fritta, con prosciutto e squacquerone, iniziate dall impasto. Sciogliete il lievito di birra in 350 g di acqua a temperatura ambiente e unite la metà della farina; impastate velocemente, coprite con un telo umido e lasciate riposare 30 minuti. Unite poi il resto della farina e lavorate energicamente la pasta per almeno 10 minuti, infine aggiungete il sale e impastate ancora. Formate una palla, raccoglietela in una ciotola, coprite con la pellicola e fate riposare in frigo per 24 ore. Togliete la pasta dal frigo e lasciatela riposare a temperatura ambiente per 2 ore. Dividetela quindi in palline da 30-40 g ciascuna. Disponetele su un piano infarinato e lasciatele riposare ancora per 30 minuti. Friggetele infine in abbondante olio bollente fino a quando non si saranno gonfiate e non  saranno diventate di un bel colore dorato. Scolatele su un foglio di carta da cucina e spolverizzatele di sale. Servite le pizze fritte con il prosciutto crudo e lo squacquerone profumato con scorza di arancia grattugiata.Ricetta di Matteo Aloe

Colorful Ratatouille with Cheese

1LB. Vitelotte blue potatoes

potatoes

nullLB. mozzarella, or another type of stringy cheese

2OZ. walnuts, shelled

olive oil

null Thyme

Salt

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices (1/8-inch thick) or use a mandoline to ensure they are all even. Use a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out rounds from the yellow and sweet potatoes (the blue potatoes should already be the right size). Cook the potatoes separately in boiling water for 2 minutes, leaving the blue potatoes for last; remove them and dry them. Cut the cheese into very thin slices and use the cookie cutter to obtain rounds the same size as the potatoes. Arrange the potatoes by alternating the colors and the cheese slices, forming concentric rings, until you fill up a round 9- or 10-inch baking dish. Season with salt and a drizzle of oil and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with thyme leaves and chopped walnuts.

A paper thin bread from the region of Emilia Romagna, Borlenghi is folded into quarters and served hot with a luscious lard, garlic and rosemary sauce. 

Borlenghi Flatbreads

2CUPS all-purpose flour

5OZ. Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated

water

rosemary

garlic

Crack the egg into a large bowl, whisk and reserve half. Add a little cold water while continuously whisking, then add flour, a pinch of salt, and rest of the water, a little at a time. Continue stirring briskly, until a very thin batter forms (known as a “colla”).

Strain the batter through a sieve to remove any lumps and refrigerate for 1 hour and 30 minutes.&nbsp;

Chop the lard with garlic and rosemary. Gently heat to obtain a smooth sauce.

Brush each flatbread with sauce and sprinkle with a generous spoonful of Parmigiano Reggiano. Fold into quarters, and serve immediately. Repeat until the batter is finished (yield is around 24 flatbreads).

Quick and easy to prepare, these crisp veggie medallions are a must have appetizer for any get together.  

Veggie Medallions With Cheese Sauce

cauliflower scraps

7OZ. savoy cabbage scraps

broccoli

spinach stems

onion

all-purpose flour

Grana Padano cheese, grated

breadcrumbs

unsalted butter

5OZ. mixed cheese

cornstarch

thyme

Clean the spinach stems, removing the roots. Clean the stalks, core, and scraps of broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, removing the toughest parts. Cut the leaves into pieces and chop up the harder parts.&nbsp;

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Boil cabbage for 7 minutes, then add the cauliflower and broccoli and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove everything using a skimmer or slotted spoon, then boil the spinach in the same water for 7-8 minutes. Drain, keeping the cooking water. Dice the firmer parts of the vegetables, and finely mince the leafy parts.

Finely chop 1/2 onion and add to a pan with 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add minced leafy vegetables and sauté for 5 minutes. Add remaining vegetables, then add 2 eggs, 3 Tbsp. Grana Padano, 2/3 cup bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.&nbsp;

Beat 2 eggs in a shallow bowl. Place flour in another second bow and breadcrumbs in another. Remove mixture from refrigerator and separate mixture into 8 medallions. Dredge in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs. Heat a little olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat and pan-fry medallions until golden brown (around 3-4 minutes per side).&nbsp;

For the cheese sauce: Cut cheese into pieces and melt in around 1 cup cooking liquid from the vegetables along with 1 Tbsp. cornstarch. Pulse in blender or food processor for a smoother result. Serve the veggie medallions with the cheese sauce, garnished with thyme.

A Christmas dessert from the region of Puglia, traditional "cartellate" are honey-dipped, fried pastry wheels. In this savory version, the crisp appetizers are filled with creamy gorgonzola sauce. 

Savory Cartellate

2CUPS '00' or all-purpose flour

4OZ. sharp gorgonzola

1/3CUP milk

1/4CUP Marsala wine

dry white wine

1TSP. fresh brewer's yeast

Mix the flour with the yeast, Marsala wine, white wine, 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt. Let the dough rise for around 1 hour, covered with a damp cloth.

Roll the dough into thin sheets with a pasta maker or rolling pin. Use a serrated pastry wheel to cut strips about 3"-3 1/2" wide and around 8" long. Fold the strips in half lengthwise, pinching them every 2"-3", then roll the strips around themselves, pinching them together to seal.

Heat the oil to 350°F. Fry the cartellate in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

&nbsp;Melt the gorgonzola with the milk in a saucepan until you obtain a smooth sauce. Pour it into the cartellate and serve.
