SOFFRITTO & INSAPORIRE (FLAVOR-BUILDERS FOR ITALIAN DISHES)



Soffritto & Insaporire (Flavor-Builders for Italian Dishes) image

From A Taste of Italy (1996) by The American Cooking Guild: "BATTUTO: This is the first step of many dishes. Finely chopped garlic and onion are lightly sauteed in olive oil, butter, pancetta (bacon), or lard. When lightly colored and aromatic, these ingredients are called a soffritto. INSAPORIRE: This technique adds real flavor to vegetable dishes. Insaporire means 'to make more tasty.' Vegetables are added to sauteed onions and garlic and cooked to 'make tasty.' The vegetable is used for soup, sauce, or pasta. This step creates a flavor-depth that otherwise might be missing."

MINESTRONE ALLA GENOVESE (WITH PESTO)



Minestrone Alla Genovese (With Pesto) image

From A Taste of Italy (1996) by The American Cooking Guild: "Minestrone is a soup specialty of central and northern Italy. The soup might be ladled over slices of grilled country-style bread. The roots of this practice may stem from medieval times when castle servants made soup from wild herbs and recycled trenchers, which were large pieces of bread used as serving plates."

SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS



Sauteed Wild Mushrooms image

From A Taste of Italy (1996) by The American Cooking Guild: "Wild mushrooms are a specialty of northern Italy; golden brown porcini is the undisputed favorite. Rehydrate dried mushrooms with a 30-minute soak in hot water. Rinse well; trim off the tough parts. Strain soaking liquid through a coffee filter; save for pasta sauces or soups. At a fancy restaurant, an appetizer of sauteed wild mushrooms on bruschetta costs a king's ransom! Try it at home; embellish the top with shaved Parmesan cheese."
