    Southern Italian Fava Bean Purèe (Maccu)

    How to Make Southern Italian Fava Bean Purèe (Maccu)

    Maccu is a popular dish in Amy Riolo’s ancestral homeland of Calabria, Italy. The word calabria is derived from a Byzantine term meaning “fertile land.” This region lives up to its name with rich agricultural traditions that continue today. The word maccu comes from the dialect word for “mashed” and refers to a purée that is made of fava beans, one of the world’s oldest agricultural crops. Fresh and dried fava bean dishes are served in Calabria for St. Joseph’s Day. Serve this appetizer alone, drizzled with olive oil as a side dish, or with crackers, flatbread, or Whole-Wheat Cracker Rings with Black Pepper and Fennel Seeds. Use first cold-pressed olive oil and pecorino Crotonese—a high-quality, aged sheep-milk cheese from Calabria, if possible. This dish, like many popular Italian appetizers, can be served hot or at room temperature. Chickpeas and cannellini beans can be substituted for the fava beans.

  • Socca With Poached Eggs, Roasted Tomatoes, And Fresh Basil

    Socca With Poached Eggs, Roasted Tomatoes, And Fresh Basil

    How to Make Socca With Poached Eggs, Roasted Tomatoes, And Fresh Basil

    Socca, also known as farinata, is a thin chickpea flour pancake commonly found in both Italian and French cuisines. In this recipe, Katie Cavuto tops wedges of the warm chickpea crepe with roasted tomatoes, poached eggs, and fresh basil. For an easy, make-ahead brunch or weekday breakfast, make the batter and poach the eggs the night before. To store the poached eggs overnight, plunge them into an airtight container filled with cold water and place them in the fridge.


    1 hr (including batter resting time) prep time


    10 min cook time


    8servings


    1 slice of socca, 1 poached egg, 2 tablespoons roasted tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons basil

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet about 12 inches from your oven’s heating element and set the oven to “Broil.”
    2. In a small bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, cumin, and salt. Slowly stream in water, whisking quickly to eliminate lumps, then stir in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Cover the bowl and set aside for at least 15 minutes. (Or store it in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.) The batter should be a thin, pancake batter–like consistency.
    3. After the batter has rested, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and pour in the socca batter. Broil for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges of the socca are browned and the center is set.
    4. Meanwhile, set a metal strainer in the bottom of a large pot, fill the pot 2/3 full with water, and add the vinegar. Crack each egg into a small prep bowl. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the vinegar and water to a simmer. Using a long-handled spoon, stir the water in a wide, circular motion to create a whirlpool. Quickly, while the whirlpool is still going, slide in the eggs, one by one. Once all the eggs are in the water, poach them without stirring until the whites are set and the yolks are no longer runny, about 4–6 minutes. Using tongs, carefully lift the strainer out of the water with the eggs.
    5. Remove socca from the oven and cut it into 8 wedges. To serve, place a socca wedge on each of 8 plates and top each serving with 1 poached egg, 2 tablespoons roasted tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons chopped basil. Season servings with pepper.

  • Sicilian Swordfish And Eggplant Bundles

    Sicilian Swordfish And Eggplant Bundles

    How to Make Sicilian Swordfish And Eggplant Bundles

    Swordfish and eggplant are culinary ingredients that Sicilians inherited when they were under Arab rule. Before the arrival of the Arabs, swordfish was not eaten because of its reputation as being extremely difficult to catch. Sicilian fisherman learned how to catch swordfish from the Arabs. Even today, Sicilian fisherman use Arabic words instead of Italian ones when fishing. Serve this delightful dish with Baby Artichokes with Herb Sauce

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat broiler. Place eggplant slices on a baking sheet. Brush with 1 Tbsp olive oil, and bake for a few minutes until tender and cooked through. Remove from oven, and set aside.
    2. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until it releases its aroma. Do not let garlic turn brown. Stir in chopped and strained tomatoes, basil, pine nuts, 1/4 tsp salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Stir and cover. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes.
    3. Meanwhile, place a large piece of wax paper on a work surface. Place fish fillets on wax paper, and cover with another piece. Use a flat-edged meat hammer to pound fish until they are very thin, about 1/4 inch. Check under the wax paper from time to time to make sure that fish is not tearing. Cut each piece in half to make 4 pieces.
    4. Top each piece of fish with thin layers of the eggplant slices. (If you have extra eggplant slices, reserve them as a garnish). Starting at the wide end, roll up fish, completely encasing eggplant. Use toothpicks or skewers to secure the rolls. Slowly remove lid from tomato sauce, and add rolls to simmering sauce. Cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning once, or until fish is cooked through.
    5. Transfer fish to a serving platter, remove skewers, and top with remaining sauce. Season with remaining 1/4 tsp salt, if desired. Serve remaining eggplant slices along the sides of the dish.

    How to Make Seared Tuna with Pesto Sauce

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. To poach salmon—Fill a 4-quart saucepan with water and put salmon filet into the water. Place saucepan over high heat until water boils. Once water boils, remove pan from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove fish from water and flake. Set aside.
    2. In a 4-quart saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add diced onion. Sauté onion until transparent. Add quinoa to onion mixture and stir—to toast—for 2 minutes.
    3. Add 1 cup of vegetable stock to quinoa and onion. Stir until stock is absorbed. Once stock is absorbed, add another 1 cup of stock. Continue stirring until stock is absorbed. Add remaining stock in 1/2-cup intervals, stirring until all stock is absorbed. Remove from heat.
    4. While preparing the onion quinoa mixture, heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a sauté pan with chopped garlic. Once garlic is sizzling, add chopped kale to the pan. Turn kale to coat with oil and garlic. Turn kale mixture until fragrant, approximately 2 minutes. Remove kale mixture from heat.
    5. Once quinoa is complete, add kale and salmon. Stir to combine and add salt and pepper to taste.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
    2. Toss all of the vegetables together and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Spray the vegetables with 5-6 sprays of cooking spray and season with salt-free Spike seasoning.
    3. Roast the vegetables for 30 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
    4. Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, dried mustard, sage, salt (optional), and black pepper.
    5. Coat a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Tear four pieces of the whole wheat bread into pieces and layer them on the bottom of the casserole dish. Top with 1/2 the roasted vegetables and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Pour half the egg mixture over the bread, vegetables, and cheese.
    6. Repeat the layering process with the remaining torn bread, vegetables, cheese, and egg mixture. Press down on the casserole with a spatula to ensure all of the bread soaks in the egg mixture. Let the strata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
    7. Bake the strata for 30 minutes.
    8. To serve, cut the strata down the middle lengthwise, then cut down the middle width-wise. Cut each half down the middle width-wise again to make 8 equal servings.

    Use fresh summer bell peppers to top this quick and easy homemade pizza, a much better choice than ordering out. If you have leftovers, wrap them in foil and have it cold for a grab-and-go meal the next day.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray. Using your fingertips or the heel of your hand, spread the dough so that it covers the bottom of the pan.
    2. In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the bell peppers and toss to coat, then place in a 9’x13’ baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the peppers are fork-tender.
    3. Spread the sauce over the dough and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.
    4. Place the roasted peppers over the cheese and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and brown. Cut and serve.

    Rigatoni With Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Pesto, And Olives

    How to Make Rigatoni With Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Pesto, And Olives

    Author Robyn Webb says, “I’m always looking for new ways to serve large shapes of pasta. I’ve got the penne, fusilli, and shell shapes down pretty good, but I find shapes like rigatoni more of a challenge to balance with other ingredients. I’ve concluded that rigatoni just needs a few strong flavors such as olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and lemon zest to be special.”

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook for 8–10 minutes until al dente.
    2. Meanwhile coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat for about 6 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until wine is almost evaporated.
    3. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/3 cup pasta water. Set the pasta aside. Add the pasta water to the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute. Add in the pesto, pine nuts, olives, and lemon zest. Season with pepper. Add the rigatoni and toss well.
