&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I am very excited to participate in a fund drive organized by Siri of &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/" target="_self"&gt;Cooking with Siri&lt;/a&gt; to benefit Vaidehi Ashram for Destitute Girls near her house, in Hyderabad. Siri tells the story of her &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/visit-to-vaidehi-ashram-and-call-for.html" target="_self"&gt;first&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/my-second-visit-to-vaidehi-ashram.html" target="_self"&gt;second&lt;/a&gt; visit to the Ashram so beautifully with both words and images (like the one above) that I don't want to add anything. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b" style="float: right; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; width: 120px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="DSC_0027" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b-120wi" title="DSC_0027"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Siri has published &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/fund-drive-for-vaidehi-ashram-of.html" target="_self"&gt;a post that explains how to participate&lt;/a&gt;. The post includes the list of more than 40 prizes for which you can bid (all contributed by fellow bloggers).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I am honored and delighted to contribute a prize to the raffle: labeled as &lt;strong&gt;RW6&lt;/strong&gt; in the list of prizes, it is a journal I made where the paper on the covers&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/suminagashi.html" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank"&gt; is decorated using suminagashi, an ancient Japanese marbling technique&lt;/a&gt;, and the binding is also of an anciente type, calle coptic (dimensions: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Make sure you read the details about the bidding process and also about the shipping, since some of the prized are shipped within a specific geographic area, while other are shipped worldwide. &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/list-of-raffle-prizes-for-fund-drive.html" target="_self"&gt;This post&lt;/a&gt; has images of all the prizes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;You can contribute via PayPal or credit card. You can donate any amount. Each $10 donation will give you one raffle ticket towards a raffle prize of your choice. You can click on the ChipIn! button below to donate or you can do it on &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/fund-drive-for-vaidehi-ashram-of.html" target="_self"&gt;Siri's site&lt;/a&gt;. Once the donation process is completed, please forward your payment confirmation message to &lt;strong&gt;info(dot)siri(at)gmail.com&lt;/strong&gt;, clearly specifying which&lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/list-of-raffle-prizes-for-fund-drive.html" target="_blank"&gt; raffle prize(s)&lt;/a&gt; you are interested in. Within 24 hours, your name and contributed amount will be added to the '&lt;strong&gt;Fund Drive Supporters List&lt;/strong&gt;'. If you want to stay&lt;em&gt; anonymous&lt;/em&gt;,   please let Siri  know in advance. For   any correspondence/questions/queries, use the comment section or the   email address mentioned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;You can add multiple bids on one prize or one bid to more than one prize. And the fact that someone has already set his/her eyes on a prize should not deter you from bidding on it. The fund drive will finish on February 25. Thank you!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Siri al Vaidehi Ashram con (S-D) Vasavi, Sivasri, Bhuvaneshwari e Samatha in braccio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Sono molto contenta di partecipare alla raccolta di fondi organizzata da Siri di &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/" target="_self"&gt;Cooking with Siri&lt;/a&gt; a beneficio del Vaidehi Ashram per bambine povere che si trova vicino a casa sua, a Hyderabad, in India. Vaidehi Ashram ospita 108 bambine e ragazze dai 3 ai 22 anni d'età che sono senza genitori o ne hanno uno che non si può prendere cura di loro. Siri ha scritto due bellissimi post raccontando a parole e immagini la sua &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/visit-to-vaidehi-ashram-and-call-for.html" target="_self"&gt;prima&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/my-second-visit-to-vaidehi-ashram.html" target="_self"&gt;seconda&lt;/a&gt; visita all'Ashram e non me la sento di aggiungere nulla. Le foto soprattutto sono molto eloquenti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Siri ha pubblicato &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/fund-drive-for-vaidehi-ashram-of.html" target="_self"&gt;un post dove spiega come partecipare&lt;/a&gt; alla lotteria che lei ha organizzato per raccogliere fondi a beneficio dell'Ashram. Il post comprende la lista dei premi sui quali si può puntare. In breve, ogni contributo di $10 acquista un biglietto che si può utilizzare per puntare su un premio a scelta. Un contributo di $20 acquista due biglietti che si possono utilizzare per puntare su due premi a scelta, oppure entrambi su un premio. E non importa se qualcun altro ha già puntato sul premio che vi attira: potete farlo anche voi. Leggete bene i dettagli riguardanti i limiti di spedizione perché alcuni dei premi vengono spediti in tutto il mondo mentre altri solo in un'area geografica limitata. &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/list-of-raffle-prizes-for-fund-drive.html" target="_self"&gt;Su questo post&lt;/a&gt; ci sono le foto di tutti i premi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b" style="float: right; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; width: 120px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="DSC_0027" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e201676121c623970b-120wi" title="DSC_0027"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Il mio piccolo contributo alla lista degli oltre 40 premi ha il codice &lt;strong&gt;RW6&lt;/strong&gt; e lo spedisco dovunque nel mondo (quindi anche in Italia ;): è un diario che ho rilegato io a mano e per il quale ho anche decorato la carta che lo ricopre utilizzando &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/suminagashi.html" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank"&gt;il suminagashi, una tecnica tradizionale giapponese per marmorizzare la carta molto antica&lt;/a&gt; (dimensioni: 11,5 x 14 cm).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Potete contribuire con carta di credito o PayPal (che non so se in Italia esiste) e potete donare quanto volete. Potete cliccare sul ChipIn! qui sotto oppure potete donare dal &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/fund-drive-for-vaidehi-ashram-of.html" target="_self"&gt;sito di Siri&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Quando avete completato la donazione, inoltrate il messaggio di conferma a Siri all'indirizzo &lt;strong&gt;info(dot)siri(at)gmail.com&lt;/strong&gt;, specificando a &lt;a href="http://www.cookingwithsiri.com/2012/01/list-of-raffle-prizes-for-fund-drive.html" target="_blank"&gt;quale premio o premi&lt;/a&gt; siete interessati. Entro 24 ore, il vostro nome e ammontare contribuito verrà aggiunto alla lista dei sostenitori, ma se preferite restare anoiomi, fatelo sapere a Siri e il vostro nome non comparirà. Contattate me a simosite(at)mac(dot)com o Siri all'indirizzo qui sopra per qualsiasi domanda o dubbio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;La raccolta di fondi continua fino al 25 Febbraio e poi saranno le ospiti dell'Ashram ad estrarre i premi. Grazie per l'attenzione!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Dungeness crab season is very &lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98788991" target="_self"&gt;important on the West Coast&lt;/a&gt; for fishermen and people who like crab meat. During crab season, you can see the light from fishing boats at sunset and early in the morning, like in the photo above.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;In Trinidad, CA, towers of crab pots can be seen near the harbor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e2016760e895af970b" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e2016760e895af970b" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e2016760e895af970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="vegetable garden" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e2016760e895af970b" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e2016760e895af970b-320wi" title="vegetable garden"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Last November, I planted some rainbow chard in a section of my little vegetable garden (&lt;em&gt;orto&lt;/em&gt;) and I have been able to harvest leaves a few times. I cannot take credit for the tidy state of the garden: while I like planting and harvesting, I am an inconstant gardener and therefore need help in keeping weeds (&lt;em&gt;erbacce&lt;/em&gt;) and slugs under control.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="leafy greens" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d-320wi" title="leafy greens"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;In this photo (taken with ShakeItPhoto), you can see the leafy greens I can harvest in my garden right now. Left to right: Icicle radish green, &lt;em&gt;cavolo nero&lt;/em&gt; (Lacinato or Dinosaur kale), Red Russian kale, chard, collard, borage (&lt;em&gt;borragine&lt;/em&gt;). [I am actually not sure I should harvest the radish greens, but I take only a leaf or two at a time and I have a number of plants.] Depending on how I am planning to use them, I will, as in the case of the recipe I am about to describe, harvest young leaves. The gardeners among you may like to know that except for chard, of which I planted seedlings, and Icicle radish, which I planted from seeds I received as a gift, the greens are from seeds from my garden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I have made the tart of the title with baby chard only and also with a mix of the greens. Spinach (&lt;em&gt;spinaci&lt;/em&gt;) would also work: the ones in my garden are not yet baby spinach, so I could not harvest any. Besides leafy greens, the tart filling includes &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Parmigiano-Reggiano&lt;/em&gt; (a combination reminiscent of my stuffing for &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2011/07/mezzelune-con-ricotta-e-bietola.html" target="_self"&gt;&lt;em&gt;mezzelune&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) And the base is the &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/pasta-sfoglia-alternativa.html" target="_self"&gt;"alternative" puff pastry&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;em&gt;pasta sfoglia "alternativa"&lt;/em&gt;) from my most recent post. More than a recipe, this is a suggestion: you make the puff pastry and then you have a canvas on which you can try a combination on ingredients that you think will work. And of course, the given quantities can be adjusted to fill a bigger tart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/torta-salata-con-ricotta-e-verdure-novelle.html" target="_self"&gt;Print-friendly version of briciole's recipe for &lt;em&gt;torta salata con ricotta e verdure novelle&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;4 1/2 oz. (125 g) baby chard or a mix of baby leafy greens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;a medium shallot (&lt;em&gt;scalogno&lt;/em&gt;), finely chopped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;olive oil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;sea salt and freshly milled black pepper, to taste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;4 1/2 oz. (125 g) &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt;, possibly &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2011/09/ricotta-appena-fatta.html" target="_self"&gt;homemade&lt;/a&gt;, mashed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;half a batch of &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/pasta-sfoglia-alternativa.html" target="_self"&gt;"alternative" puff pastry&lt;/a&gt; (or equivalent amount of regular puff pastry)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;2-3 tablespoons freshly grated &lt;em&gt;Parmigiano-Reggiano&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Wash the greens and don't drain them completely. Discard the tougher end of the stalk of kale and collard greens. Cut off the stalks from baby chard, and chop them finely. Cut leaves into ribbons no more than 1/2-inch wide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Warm up a bit of oil in a small skillet and cook the shallot for a couple of minutes, stirring often. Add the chard stalks and continue cooking for a few more minutes, again stirring often. Add cut leaves and cook in the water clinging to them for a few minutes. Stir to make sure the greens cook evenly and don't stick to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste and let cool briefly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Roll out the pastry until fairly thin (I got a 6" x 8" rectangle), then place it on the lined baking sheet. Add &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt; to the greens and stir well. Spread over rolled pastry, leaving a border all around (about 1/2 inch). Sprinkle &lt;em&gt;Parmigiano-Reggiano&lt;/em&gt; evenly on the surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="IMG_0019w" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c-320wi" title="IMG_0019w"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Pinch the pastry all around to raise it slightly and make a kind of border (see photo above). In earlier versions of the tart, I rolled the pastry into a circle and made a narrow border galette-style, which you can see in the photo of the &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/pasta-sfoglia-alternativa.html" target="_self"&gt;"alternative" puff pastry&lt;/a&gt; post. However, the pastry swells as it bakes, so the galette effect was lost, because the border was too narrow. I didn't want a wider border, so I adopted this solution of just pinching the pastry to raise it and I am happy about the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the visible crust is light golden, about 25 minutes. As usual, the time varies with the oven. Check the tart after 20 minutes and estimate the time remaining.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="DSC_0004dw" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c-320wi" title="DSC_0004dw"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Take out of the oven, let rest briefly, then cut the tart, serve and enjoy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="DSC_0004dw" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d-320wi" title="DSC_0004dw"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;My husband was eating the other half for his lunch while I took the photo above. This is not something you want to make every day, since puff pastry is rich in butter. Cut into smaller pieces, the tart makes a nice appetizer (&lt;em&gt;antipasto&lt;/em&gt;). And you can boast about having made the puff pastry yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lo scorso Novembre ho piantato delle bietole in una parte del mio orticello e ho raccolto foglioline alcune volte. Non è merito mio se il mio orticello è ordinato: mi piace piantare e raccogliere, ma sono una giardiniera scostante e quindi ho bisogno di aiuto per tenere sotto controllo erbacce e lumache (la roba bianca che si vede è una barriera di conchiglie frantumate che serve a fermare le lumache).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="leafy greens" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d2ae970d-320wi" title="leafy greens"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;In questa foto (che ho scattato usando ShakeItPhoto) potete vedere le verdure da taglio che posso raccogliere in questo periodo nel mio orticello. Da sinistra a destra: ravanello "Ghiacciolo" (così chiamato perché è bianco e lungo), cavolo nero, cavolo riccio "Red Russian," collard (un tipo di Brassica dalle belle foglie larghe), borragine. [Non sono sicura che sia corretto tagliare le foglie dei ravanelli, ma ne raccolgo solo una o due per volta e ne ho diverse piantine.] A seconda di quello che ho intenzione di fare, raccolgo le foglie quando sono ancora piccole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Ho fatto questa torta salata sia utilizzando solo bietola novella che utilizzando un misto di verdure. Gli spinaci sono un'altra possibilità, ma quelli che ho piantato non sono ancora nemmeno novelli e quindi non ho potuto raccoglierli. Oltre alla verdura, la torta salata contiene ricotta e Parmigiano-Reggiano (una combinazione simile al mio ripieno per le &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2011/07/mezzelune-con-ricotta-e-bietola.html"&gt;mezzelune&lt;/a&gt;) e la base è fatta con la &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/pasta-sfoglia-alternativa.html" target="_self"&gt;pasta sfoglia alternativa di Marta&lt;/a&gt; che ho descritto nel mio post precedente. Più che una ricetta, questa è un'idea: fate la pasta sfoglia e avrete una tela sulla quale fare esperimenti di composizione di vari ingredienti che pensate vadano bene. E naturalmente le dosi si possono adeguare alla grandezza della torta che volete fare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;125 g bietola novella o un misto di verdure novelle&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;uno scalogno medio tagliato fino&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;olio d'oliva&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;sale fino e pepe nero macinato fresco, q.b.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;125 g ricotta, magari &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2011/09/ricotta-appena-fatta.html" target="_self"&gt;fatta in casa&lt;/a&gt;, schiacciata con una forchetta (in Italia la ricotta vera, fresca e buona per vostra fortuna si trova facilmente)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;metà della &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/pasta-sfoglia-alternativa.html" target="_self"&gt;pasta sfoglia "alternativa"&lt;/a&gt; che ottenete seguendo le dosi della ricetta (oppure la stessa quantità di pasta sfoglia tradizionale)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;2-3 cucchiai di Parmigiano-Reggiano grattugiato fresco&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Lavare le verdure senza sgrondarle del tutto. Scartare la parte più dura del gambo di cavolo nero, cavolo riccio e collard. Tagliare i gambi della bietola e tagliarli a pezzetti. Tagliare le foglie a nastri non più larghi di 1,25 cm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Scaldare un po' d'olio in una padellina e cuocere lo scalogno per un paio di minuti, mescolando spesso. Aggiungere i gambi della bietola e continuare a cuocere per alcuni minuti, sempre mescolando spesso. Aggiungere le foglie e cuocere per alcuni minuti nell'acqua che hanno ancora attaccata. Mescolare e fare attenzione che le verdure non si attacchino al fondo della padella. Condire con sale e pepe a piacere e far intiepidire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Scaldare il forno a 190 C e foderare una lastra da forno con tappetino di silicone o carta da forno. Stendere la pasta sfoglia fina (io ho fatto un rettangolo di circa 15 cm x 20 cm) e poi muoverla sulla lastra foderata. Aggiungere le ricotta alle verdure e mescolare bene, poi distribuire sulla pasta sfoglia lasciando tutto intorno un bordo di circa 1,25 cm. Spargere il Parmigiano-Reggiano sulla superficie.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="IMG_0019w" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20168e5ea2079970c-320wi" title="IMG_0019w"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pizzicare la pasta sfoglia tutto intorno per sollevare leggermente il bordo (vedi foto qui sopra). Le vote precedenti avevo steso la pasta sfoglia a formare un cerchio e poi fatto un bordo ripiegato stile galette (come si vede nella foto all'inizio del &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/pasta-sfoglia-alternativa.html" target="_self"&gt;post sulla pasta sfoglia "alternativa"&lt;/a&gt;), ma la pasta si gonfia in cottura e l'effetto galette andava perso perché il bordo era troppo stretto. Non volevo fare un bordo più largo e quindi ho adottato la soluzione descritta sopra e sono rimasta soddisfatta del risultato.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Infornare e cuocere fino a quando la crosta è dorata, 25 minuti circa. Come si sa, ogni forno è un po' diverso e quindi è bene controllare la torta dopo 20 minuti e valutare quanto tempo manca.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="DSC_0004dw" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20168e5e9b335970c-320wi" title="DSC_0004dw"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Tirare fuori la teglia dal forno, far riposare brevemente la torta e poi tagliare e servire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="DSC_0004dw" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162fff3d473970d-320wi" title="DSC_0004dw"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt; La metà che manca nella foto la stava mangiando mio marito per pranzo. Questo non è un piatto da fare tutti i giorni, dal momento che la pasta sfoglia è ricca di burro. Tagliata a quadrotti, questa torta salata può essere servita come antipasto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I agonized a bit over the title for this post. Marta of &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://viaggiarecomemangiare.blogspot.com" target="_self"&gt;Mangiare è un po' come viaggiare&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; (eating is a bit like traveling) whose &lt;a href="http://viaggiarecomemangiare.blogspot.com/2011/12/v-come-voul-au-vent.html" target="_self"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; inspired me, calls it &lt;em&gt;pasta sfoglia light&lt;/em&gt;, using the English adjective in a way that is very common in Italy to describe food items that are less caloric (usually due to a lower fat content) than their traditional counterpart (disclaimer: this is simply a linguistic explanation; I don't know how the all-butter puff pastry I make compares to the one described below in terms of calories, so I make no claims in this regard). One of the posts Marta references calls it &lt;em&gt;finta sfoglia&lt;/em&gt;, fake puff pastry, which I don't like as it may also discourage people for giving the recipe a try. The other post referenced calls it &lt;em&gt;sfoglia dei poveretti&lt;/em&gt;, poor people's puff pastry, a nice alliteration that has an interesting social connotation: however, it doesn't quite apply to the US, where true &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt; is very hard to find. So, I decided to use "alternative" puff pastry, meaning, it is not the traditional all-butter puff pastry, but an alternative you may choose to make. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;As a child, I thought that puff pastry was magical: I mean, what makes all those layers that give the pastry the texture everybody loves? In my case, the magic was demistified a few years ago:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;In July 2008, I interviewed Trace Leighton, Chef de Patisserie of &lt;a href="http://www.nibblerseatery.com/"&gt;Nibblers Eatery &amp;amp; Wine Bar&lt;/a&gt;, in Pleasant Hill&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; for an article that was later published on Edible East Bay (you can download the pdf of "The Physicist and the Baker" from &lt;a href="http://www.ediblecommunities.com/eastbay/fall-winter-2008/fall-and-winter-2008.htm"&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt;). The main topic of our conversation was puff pastry,  and I owe to Trace the fearlessness of my first attempt at it, which  was a success. Therefore, puff pastry is now part of my repertoire. A  great characteristic of puff pastry is that it can be frozen and, in  fact, for this recipe I used part of a batch that I had made and frozen a  few weeks ago. The recipe for &lt;a href="http://thedaringkitchen.com/recipe/vols-au-vent"&gt;vol-au-vents&lt;/a&gt; on the Daring Bakers' site has also instructions on how to make puff pastry. [from &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2009/10/volauvent-ripieni-di-zucca.html" target="_self"&gt;my post on vol-au-vents&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The recipe in &lt;a href="http://viaggiarecomemangiare.blogspot.com/2011/12/v-come-voul-au-vent.html" target="_self"&gt;Marta's post&lt;/a&gt; caught my attention because it uses &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt; as an ingredient, together with flour and butter (&lt;em&gt;farina e burro&lt;/em&gt;). As most of you know, I make &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2011/09/ricotta-appena-fatta.html" target="_self"&gt;&lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt; at home&lt;/a&gt; fairly regularly, using the whey (&lt;em&gt;siero di latte&lt;/em&gt;) from various cheeses I make, so &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt; is an ingredient that is readibly available to me. A portion of the first batch of &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt; that I made after reading &lt;a href="http://viaggiarecomemangiare.blogspot.com/2011/12/v-come-voul-au-vent.html" target="_self"&gt;Marta's post&lt;/a&gt; went into the preparation of this alternative puff pastry. The rest went into the filling of the tart I made with some of that pastry. The recipe for the tart, the first rendition of which is portrayed in the photo at the top, will be in the next post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;In the traditional puff pastry recipe, the dough contains a certain amount of water. The alternative puff pastry does not have water among its ingredients: the whey in &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt; contributes the liquid component. Thanks to Lory of &lt;a href="http://lamercantedispezie.blogspot.com/2008/01/ogni-tanto-ritorna.html" target="_self"&gt;La Mercante di Spezie&lt;/a&gt; for sharing her recipe (which uses ricotta), to Adriano of &lt;a href="http://profumodilievito.blogspot.com/2010/03/la-finta-sfoglia.html" target="_self"&gt;Profumo di Lievito&lt;/a&gt; for offering his take (which uses cream cheese instead of ricotta and lowers the amounto of butter) and photos, and to Marta for &lt;a href="http://viaggiarecomemangiare.blogspot.com/2011/12/v-come-voul-au-vent.html" target="_self"&gt;her version&lt;/a&gt;, which combines the previous two in using ricotta as the first one and the amount of butter of the second one. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;125 g (4.4 oz.) all-purpose flour (about a cup minus a teaspoon)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;125 g (4.4 oz.) &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt;, mashed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;80 g (2.8 oz.) cold unsalted butter (a little less than 6 tablespoons) cut into small pieces&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;a generous pinch of salt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Note #1: invest in a digital kitchen scale that has both metric and US units. I use cups and spoons, but more often than not, I weigh ingredients. And having a scale allows you to follow recipes not written for a US audience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Note #2: the amount of whey in my homemade ricotta depends on the length of the draining period. Differently from &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2011/11/gnocchi-di-ricotta.html" target="_self"&gt;gnocchi di ricotta&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, this pastry does not require a very dry ricotta, but you don't want something dripping whey. After the regular draining period, I let the unmolded &lt;em&gt;ricotta&lt;/em&gt; sit overnight in a bowl (in the fridge) and the morning after I take my 125 g from the top layer. I also usually have a small quantity of whey at the bottom of the bowl and I remove it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Note #3: I am not good at cutting butter into flour with anything other than my hands, so that is what I do. Some people like to grate the very cold butter using a coarse grater. I prefer cutting it into small pieces, but it is good to have options, isn't it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Cut the butter into the flour and then add the ricotta. Make a dough, shape it into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick (see photo above), wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one day. The dough won't be nice and homogeneous at this point and that is fine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The following day, fold the dough. To make one fold, roll the dough in both directions into a thinner rectangle. Fold along the longer side: fold the right third towards the center, then fold the left third over it to make a letter-shaped package (see photos in &lt;a href="http://profumodilievito.blogspot.com/2010/03/la-finta-sfoglia.html" target="_self"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;). Wrap the folded dough again and refrigerate for half an hour or so. (If it is more, it is fine: I honestly never time part of the process.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ffe61c41970d" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ffe61c41970d" style="float: left; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; width: 200px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ffe61c41970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ffe61c41970d" style="width: 200px;" title="puff pastry made with ricotta: fold" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ffe61c41970d-200wi" alt="puff pastry made with ricotta: fold"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Repeat the fold twice more in the same way. In the process, you will see that the dough becomes more  homogeneous and smoother. After the last fold, refrigerate again and use  as you wish. (I ended up making a fourth fold, just to see what would happen.) As mentioned above, puff pasty can be frozen, which makes it a great resource to have on hand. If you roll it and then freeze it, it will take less time to thaw when you need it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Marta halved the quantity of the ingredients used in the recipes she quotes and I followed her lead. Whenever possible, I recommend making a smaller batch of a new recipe until you become comfortable with the process, then go for the full amount. The recipe as given makes a nice amount of puff pastry to play with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Once you have the savory puff pastry, you can make &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2009/10/volauvent-ripieni-di-zucca.html" target="_self"&gt;vol-au-vents&lt;/a&gt;, tarts, &lt;a href="http://duespaghetti.com/2011/08/02/pizzette-rustiche-the-perfect-party-food/" target="_self"&gt;&lt;em&gt;pizzette&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (my childhood's dream party food brought to life in the post referenced by Cara and Stefano of &lt;a href="http://duespaghetti.com/" target="_self"&gt;Due Spaghetti&lt;/a&gt;), etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; The restaurant is now called The Fig Tree.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;La ricetta che presento è praticamente la traduzione in inglese della ricetta per &lt;a href="http://viaggiarecomemangiare.blogspot.com/2011/12/v-come-voul-au-vent.html" target="_self"&gt;pasta sfoglia light&lt;/a&gt; di Marta (a.k.a. Martissima) del blog &lt;a href="http://viaggiarecomemangiare.blogspot.com" target="_self"&gt;Mangiare è un po' come viaggiare&lt;/a&gt;. Nel suo post, Marta spiega la genealogia della ricetta e fa riferimento ai post che l'hanno ispirata. Le uniche due differenze tra la ricetta di Marta e quella che ho seguito io sono l'uso di un pizzico abbondante di sale invece di un cucchiaino e quello della mia &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2011/09/ricotta-appena-fatta.html" target="_self"&gt;ricotta fatta in casa&lt;/a&gt;. Grazie, Marta!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e2016760befb2b970b" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e2016760befb2b970b" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e2016760befb2b970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="DSC_0007dw" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e2016760befb2b970b" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e2016760befb2b970b-320wi" title="DSC_0007dw"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;For the current edition of &lt;a href="http://cookthebooksclub.wordpress.com/2012/01/13/our-2012-winter-reading-outlaw-cook-by-john-and-matt-lewis-thorne/" target="_self"&gt;Cook the Books&lt;/a&gt;, we are reading &lt;strong&gt;Outlaw Cook&lt;/strong&gt; by John Thorne, with Matt Lewis Thorne (1992). I started reading the book from the beginning, but then decided to follow my interests and jump around, choosing chapters based on their subject. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I enjoyed the &lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=hz4WR-YBso4C&amp;amp;lpg=PA132&amp;amp;ots=xryeKdjNm7&amp;amp;dq=Outlaw%20Cook%20by%20John%20Thorne%20ful%20medames&amp;amp;pg=PA36#v=onepage" target="_self"&gt;chapter on plowman's lunch&lt;/a&gt;, which includes various recipes, like those for Welsh rabbit (yes, rabbit, not rarebit), soused cheese, and bread and cheese pudding. Considering that &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/cheese-making/" target="_self"&gt;various types of homemade cheese&lt;/a&gt; are always available in my kitchen, I could have chosen one of the recipes, but I discarded the idea, because I don't like beer (&lt;em&gt;birra&lt;/em&gt;), my knowledge of alcoholic beverages is very limited, and my knowledge of ale or stout is nil, so choosing a pairing with my cheese would have been a wild guess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I read the chapter &lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=hz4WR-YBso4C&amp;amp;lpg=PA132&amp;amp;ots=xryeKdjNm7&amp;amp;dq=Outlaw%20Cook%20by%20John%20Thorne%20ful%20medames&amp;amp;pg=PA292#v=onepage" target="_self"&gt;Monet À Table&lt;/a&gt;, which is the review of a book about the cooking journals of Claude Monet, with a special perspective: by pure chance, we are watching the TV  mini-series &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0496201/" target="_self"&gt;The Impressionists&lt;/a&gt;,  where an old Claude Monet tells the story of his career and his  relationship with Renoir, Bazille, Degas, Cézanne and Manet to a  journalist, and at some point offers him some of his homemade plum brandy. From Thorne's piece I learned that Monet grew greengage plums for it in his two-and-a-half-acre walled kitchen garden.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I also read with interest the chapter on ful medames, "Egypt's national dish" (&lt;em&gt;piatto nazionale egiziano&lt;/em&gt;). From reading &lt;a href="http://www.wheatfreemeatfree.com/ful-medames-egyptian-fava-beans" target="_self"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; by Kalinda of &lt;a href="http://www.wheatfreemeatfree.com/" target="_self"&gt;Wheat-Free Meat-Free&lt;/a&gt;, I knew that ful medames is prepared using a special kind of small fava beans,  but I had other plans. The dish had been for a while on my to do list as a way of making use of the locally grown and dried fava beans (&lt;em&gt;fave secche&lt;/em&gt;) that I get as part of my mostly-grain CSA and that I have mentioned in the post about &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2010/10/macco-di-fave.html" target="_self"&gt;macco di fave&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;You can read the &lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=hz4WR-YBso4C&amp;amp;lpg=PA132&amp;amp;ots=xryeKdjNm7&amp;amp;dq=Outlaw%20Cook%20by%20John%20Thorne%20ful%20medames&amp;amp;pg=PA132#v=onepage&amp;amp;q&amp;amp;f=false" target="_self"&gt;chapter and Thorne's recipe&lt;/a&gt;. I halved the quantity of fava beans, used the optional lentils (&lt;em&gt;lenticchie&lt;/em&gt;) as a belated homage to the New Year, and then adjusted the other ingredients to my taste:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;1 cup of dried fava beans, soaked for 16 hours (or as needed) in plenty of water, then skin removed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;1/4 cup green lentils&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus to taste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;a pinch of dried lemon zest (this was my idea)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;a generous pinch of ground cumin (from freshly toasted and ground cumin seeds), plus to taste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;a garlic clove (&lt;em&gt;spicchio d'aglio&lt;/em&gt;), peeled and chopped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;two small sprigs of fresh parsley (&lt;em&gt;prezzemolo&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Bring to a boil 3 cups of cold water in a saucepan. Add the fava  beans and cover. Bring back to a boil, cook for 10 minutes then lower  the heath, add the lentils, cover again and simmer until the legumes are  soft and can easily be mashed. (I cooked them for 50 minutes.) &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt;: I realized afterward that this 10 minutes are planned within the context of fava beans still in their skin. The next time I prepare this dish, I will add fava beans and lentils to the boiling water at the same time. This may well affect the cooking time. Mash the  legumes roughly with a potato masher and let cool. The mash will absorb the water as it cools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Pour  the legumes into the food processor and add olive oil, lemon juice  and zest, cumin, garlic, a bit of salt and pepper and parsley. Process  until garlic and parsley are well distributed, then taste and adjust  salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use. Adjust lemon juice and cumin after the  ful medames has rested for a while (I added more cumin). I think that the flavor matures and improves with time (at least one day).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The photo shows a plate I prepared for my husband's lunch, which included, besides the ful medames, drained homemade kefir (think of &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2008/08/insalata-di-pollo-con-labneh.html" target="_self"&gt;labneh&lt;/a&gt; made with kefir instead of yogurt), a hard-boiled egg (&lt;em&gt;uovo sodo&lt;/em&gt;) and slices of my homemade challah.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;A visit to &lt;a href="http://www.gohawaii.com/big-island/regions-neighborhoods/puna/kalapana" target="_self"&gt;Kalapana&lt;/a&gt; and a walk over lava to the cliff is one of the nice experiences offered to visitors of the Puna district (Big Island). Kalapana stands in a special dimension, where the elements are particularly close, not only earth, air and water, but also fire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e2016760ab30fa970b" id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e2016760ab30fa970b" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e2016760ab30fa970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img alt="honey stand in Kalapana" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e2016760ab30fa970b" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e2016760ab30fa970b-320wi" title="honey stand in Kalapana"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The  honey from &lt;a href="http://www.kalapanagold.com/" target="_self"&gt;Kalapana Gold&lt;/a&gt; is packaged in sets of three small jars. That day they were &lt;a href="http://www.instanthawaii.com/cgi-bin/hawaii?Plants.ohia" target="_self"&gt;Lehua&lt;/a&gt;, (the flower of the 'Ōhi'a tree, which I will show you in a future post), Macadamia Nut and &lt;a href="http://www.state.hi.us/dlnr/dofaw/hortweeds/species/schter.htm" target="_self"&gt;Christmas Berry&lt;/a&gt; (an invasive plant).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;It was late in the afternoon and it started to rain shortly after we got there, so I took only a few photos. Apart from the honey stand, I was intrigued by the colorful signs. Here are two of them:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;It was actually the only day during our stay when we did not have a blue sky. I was happy to be there, in this place at the end of the road, where you feel pleasantly suspended, held by nature on the palm of her hand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e201538ff947ee970b-pi" style="float: left;"&gt;&lt;img alt="BlackWhiteWednesdayFinalOriginalLogo" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e201538ff947ee970b-120wi" style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;" title="BlackWhiteWednesdayFinalOriginalLogo"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is my submission to week #26 edition of &lt;a href="http://thewellseasonedcook.blogspot.com/2012/01/black-and-white-wednesday-bit-of-fine.html" target="_self"&gt;Black and White Wednesday - A Culinary Photography Event&lt;/a&gt; created by Susan of &lt;a href="http://thewellseasonedcook.blogspot.com/" target="_self"&gt;The Well-Seasoned Cook&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b" title="abiu" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b-320wi" alt="abiu" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I fell in love with abiu two years ago, when we visited the Big Island for the first time. I talked about my first encounter with the fruit in &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2010/02/capodanno-sullisola-di-hawaii.html" target="_self"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;, but I did not have a photo of it when ready to be eaten. Before taking the photo above, I partially scooped out a bit of the pulp (&lt;em&gt;polpa&lt;/em&gt;) to offer a closer look.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;[The fruit has] a pale, translucent pulp of a custard consistency that is easily scooped out with a spoon... The seeds are easily removed and are covered with a thin layer of adherent pulp. The fruit has a sweet, mild taste which may have a hint of pineapple but is best described as reminiscent of caramel flan. It is often used in ice cream or eaten out of hand. [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiu" target="_self"&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The largest abiu we ate was a gift from Claudia of &lt;a href="http://honeyfromrock.blogspot.com/" target="_self"&gt;Honey from Rock&lt;/a&gt;, whom my husband (&lt;em&gt;marito&lt;/em&gt;) and I had the great pleasure of meeting, and whose garden I knew from her blog to be a place full of wonderful fruits. [&lt;a href="http://honeyfromrock.blogspot.com/2012/01/white-bean-and-tuscan-kale-soup-with.html" target="_self"&gt;This post&lt;/a&gt; on Claudia's blog has a photo of us in her kitchen. I will talk more about this visit in a future post.]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d" title="atemoya, avocado, rambutan" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d-320wi" alt="atemoya, avocado, rambutan" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;This is the original version of &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/buccia-e-polpa.html" target="_self"&gt;the sepia photo&lt;/a&gt; that I submitted to last week's edition of &lt;a href="http://thewellseasonedcook.blogspot.com/2012/01/black-and-white-wednesday-bit-of-fine.html" target="_self"&gt;Black and White Wednesday&lt;/a&gt;. I purchased the fruit at the Kalapana Farmers' Market, which is held every Saturday at the &lt;a href="http://www.hawaiispace.com/"&gt;SPACE&lt;/a&gt;. It was a small market, so I felt very conspicuous with my camera, and the few shots I took were not good. I decided to forget about the camera and focus on doing some shopping. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The great thing about shopping at the farmers' market is that you can ask questions from the person who grew the item you are interested in. The atemoya caught my attention and I asked about it: "It tastes like custard" is basically what I was told. The woman next to me picked up one of the two atemoyas available, looked at me and said "Get the other one," which I immediately did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d" title="atemoya" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d-320wi" alt="atemoya" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The atemoya was ripe, so as soon as we got back home, I tasted some: it was indeed like eating a custard flavored and sweetened to perfection. Atemoya is a hybrid of sugar apple and cherimoya (a fruit I am now eager to try).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The flesh is not segmented like that of the Cherimoya. It is very juicy  and smooth, tasting slightly sweet and a little tart, reminiscent of a  piña colada. The taste also resembles vanilla from its sugar apple parent. There are many inedible, toxic black seeds throughout the flesh  of the atemoya. When ripe, the fruit can be scooped out of the shell and eaten chilled. [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atemoya" target="_self"&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;From the same vendor, together with atemoya, I bought a vanilla pod  (&lt;em&gt;baccello di vaniglia&lt;/em&gt;) and some rambutan (below the atemoya in photo above), because their color and punkish look are adorable  (the spines are actually pliable).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;On Sunday, the big market on the road between Pahoa and Kea'au was canceled, since it was New Year's Day. It was a big disappointment for me,  because when we visited it two years ago, we had a great time. However,  there were a few vendors at the farmers' market in the village of Pahoa and there  I shot a couple of photos...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d" title="rambutan" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d-320wi" alt="rambutan" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;and bought more rambutan. I particularly liked the way they were sold, still attached to the branch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;The fruit flesh is translucent, whitish or very pale pink, with a sweet, mildly acidic flavor... The best quality rambutan is generally that which is harvested still attached to the branch. [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambutan" target="_self"&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Cutting the skin and making the fruit pop out of it is part of the pleasure of eating rambutan. In  terms of flavor and texture, rambutan is similar to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lychee" target="_self"&gt;lychee&lt;/a&gt; (or  litchi), with which I was already familiar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;There was a starfruit tree outside the &lt;a href="http://yourhawaiianretreat.org/accomodations/avocado-house/" target="_self"&gt;Avocado Tree House&lt;/a&gt; where we stayed. But the best photo I took is of a case of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carambola"&gt;starfruit&lt;/a&gt; at the market in Pahoa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b" title="starfruit or carambola" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0014cw" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Claudia kindly gave us one from her garden, and I used it in the salad we ate the evening before we left.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I don't have a photo of the salad (&lt;em&gt;insalata&lt;/em&gt;) I made that night. We actually had salad every day for dinner: with such a profusion of locally grown ingredients, it was an easy choice. Here are the ingredients I used for our dinner salads, the last three making up the dressing:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;mixed salad greens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;avocado, diced&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;starfruit&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, sliced (&lt;a href="http://thaifood.about.com/od/introtothaicooking/ss/starfruithowto.htm" target="_self"&gt;this brief slide show&lt;/a&gt; explains how to prepare the starfruit)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;small tomatoes (&lt;em&gt;pomodori&lt;/em&gt;), cut into quarters or eights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;sea salt, to taste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;homemade goat yogurt, a couple of tablespoons, to taste &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;balsamic vinegar, to taste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;You can use olive oil, if you want, but in my opinion, it was not necessary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;I believe that part of the intensity of flavor of the fruit we enjoyed on the Big Island was due to the fact that it had all ripened on the tree.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Now the question is: how can we go back to eating continental fruit after a few days of feasting on the amazing varieties I have just described? We hope to visit the Big Island again in the future to taste the fruit offered at its farmes' markets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; As mentioned by Alicia in her comment below, people with kidney failure should avoid starfruit. More details can be read in the medical literature, for example &lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12823678" target="_self"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12480969" target="_self"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;abiu, annona atemoya, carambola and rambutan&lt;/strong&gt;: quattro tipi di frutta che ho mangiato durante la recente vacanzina sull'isola di Hawaii. (Nota: l'isola di Hawaii è la più grande e la più orientale isola dell'&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii"&gt;arcipelago delle Hawaii&lt;/a&gt;; negli USA di solito ci si riferisce ad essa come "the Big Island" per evitare confusione tra isola e arcipelago.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b" title="abiu" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608c8d80970b-320wi" alt="abiu" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Mi sono innamorata dell'abiu due anni fa quando siamo stati ad Hawaii per la prima volta e ne ho parlato in &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2010/02/capodanno-sullisola-di-hawaii.html" target="_self"&gt;questo post&lt;/a&gt;, ma non avevo una foto del frutto tagliato e pronto per essere mangiato. Prima di scattare la foto qui sopra ho affondato il cucchiaino nella polpa per far vedere meglio la sua consistenza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;La polpa è translucida e di colore pallido, ha consistenza cremosa e si può scavare facilmente con un cucchiaino... I semi, coperti da un sottile strato di polpa, si possono rimuovere facilmente. Il frutto ha un sapore dolce e delicato che può avere un accenno di ananas, ma è piu precisamente descritto come crème caramel. Viene usato spesso come ingrediente per preparare gelato o mangiato al naturale. [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiu" target="_self"&gt;fonte&lt;/a&gt;; mia traduzione]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;L'abiu più grosso che abbiamo mangiato ce lo ha regalato Claudia di &lt;a href="http://honeyfromrock.blogspot.com/" target="_self"&gt;Honey from Rock&lt;/a&gt;, che mio marito ed io abbiamo avuto il piacere di incontrare e il cui giardino sapevo fosse pieno di frutti meravigliosi. [&lt;a href="http://honeyfromrock.blogspot.com/2012/01/white-bean-and-tuscan-kale-soup-with.html" target="_self"&gt;Questo post&lt;/a&gt; sul blog di Claudia ha una foto di noi due nella sua cucina. Parlerò ancora di questa visita in un futuro post.]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d" title="atemoya, avocado, rambutan" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff97ba5d970d-320wi" alt="atemoya, avocado, rambutan" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Questa è la versione originale della &lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/buccia-e-polpa.html" target="_self"&gt;foto&lt;/a&gt; con la quale ho contribuito la settimana scorsa all'evento &lt;a href="http://thewellseasonedcook.blogspot.com/2012/01/black-and-white-wednesday-bit-of-fine.html" target="_self"&gt;Black and White Wednesday&lt;/a&gt;. La frutta ritratta l'ho comprata al farmers' market di Kalapana, che si tiene ogni sabato presso lo &lt;a href="http://www.hawaiispace.com/"&gt;SPACE&lt;/a&gt;. Era un mercato piccolo e mi sono sentita un po' a disagio con la mia macchina fotografica e così le poche foto che ho fatto sono venute male. Ad un certo punto ho messo da parte la mio Nikon e mi sono concentrata sugli acquisti. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Il bello di fare la spesa al farmers' market è che si possono fare domande direttamente al produttore. L'annona atemoya ha colto la mia attenzione e alla mia domanda su che sapore avesse la venditrice mi ha praticamente detto che fosse come mangiare la crema. La signora vicino a me ha preso uno dei due frutti che c'erano nel cesto, mi ha guardata e mi ha detto: "Prendi l'altro," invito che ho immediatamente accettato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d" title="atemoya" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff524e75970d-320wi" alt="atemoya" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;L'annona atemoya era matura e quando siamo tornati a casa l'ho assaggiata subito: veramente è come mangiare della crema soda, dal sapore delicata e dolce quanto basta. L'Annona atemoya è un incrocio tra Annona squamosa e Annona cherimola. Quest'ultima viene coltivata anche in alcune zone della Calabria e della Sicilia orientale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;La polpa non è segmentata come quella della cherimoya [Annona cherimola]. È molto succosa e liscia, dolce e sa di piña colada e vaniglia. Ci sono molti semi tossici sparsi nella polpa. Quando è matura, la polpa dell'atemoya si può scavare con un cucchiaino e separare dalla buccia. [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atemoya" target="_self"&gt;fonte&lt;/a&gt;; libera traduzione mia]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Dalla stessa venditrice, oltre all'atemoya, ho comprato un baccello di vaniglia e dei rambutan (nella foto in altro sono sotto l'atemoya), ispirata dal loro colore e dal look un po' punk (le "spine" di fatto sono morbide).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;La domenica, il grande mercato che si tiene in uno spazio lungo la strada tra Pahoa e Kea'au è stato cancellato perché era Capodanno. Mi è dispiaciuto molto, poiché quando siamo stati ad Hawaii due anni fa lo avevamo visitato e c'eravamo divertiti molto. Ma c'erano alcuni venditori al mercato nel paese di Pahoa e ho fatto un paio di foto...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d" title="rambutan" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20162ff982231970d-320wi" alt="rambutan" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;e ho comprato più rambutan. Mi è piaciuto in modo particolare il modo in cui i frutti vengono venduti, ancora attaccati al rametto dell'albero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;La polpa è translucente, biancastra o rosa molto pallido, dal sapore dolce e leggermente acidulo... I rambutan di qualità migliore in genere sono quelli raccolti ancora attaccati all'albero. [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambutan" target="_self"&gt;fonte&lt;/a&gt;, traduzione mia]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608d1ddf970b" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608d1ddf970b" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608d1ddf970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608d1ddf970b" title="DSC_0008aw" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608d1ddf970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0008aw" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Tagliare la buccia e far saltar fuori il frutto è parte del piacere del magiare i rambutan. Per quanto riguarda sapore e consistenza, i rambutan assomigliano ai &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litchi_chinensis"&gt;litchi&lt;/a&gt;, che già conoscevo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Vicino al &lt;a href="http://yourhawaiianretreat.org/accomodations/avocado-house/" target="_self"&gt;nostro alloggio&lt;/a&gt; c'era un albero di &lt;a href="http://www.agraria.org/coltivazioniarboree/carambola.htm"&gt;carambola&lt;/a&gt;, ma la foto migliore dei frutti che ho scattato è questa, ancora al mercato di Pahoa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b" class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 320px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b-pi"&gt;&lt;img class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b" title="DSC_0014cw" src="http://briciole.typepad.com/.a/6a00d835508b1869e20167608d0fb8970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0014cw" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Claudia ci ha gentilmente regalato una carambola dal suo giardino e l'ho usata come ingrediente dell'insalata che ho preparato per cena la sera prima di partire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Non ho una foto di quella insalata. Di fatto, abbiamo mangiato insalata ogni sera: con una tale profusione di ingredienti di produzione locale, la scelta era ovvia. Questi sono gli ingredienti che ho usato per le insalate (gli ultimi tre sono il condimento):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;insalata mista&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;avocado tagliato a dadini&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;carambola&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; affettata (&lt;a href="http://thaifood.about.com/od/introtothaicooking/ss/starfruithowto.htm" target="_self"&gt;queste foto&lt;/a&gt; spiegano come si prepara la carambola)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;pomodorini, tagliati in 4 o 8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;sale fino, q.b.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;un paio di cucchiai di yogurt di capra fatto in casa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;aceto balsamico, q.b.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Potete usare olio d'oliva, se volete, ma a mio parere non è necessario. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Credo che parte dell'intensità del sapore della frutta che abbiamo mangiato durante la nostra vacanza è dovuta al fatto che era maturata sull'albero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;La mia domanda è: come si puo tornare a mangiare la frutta del continente dopo aver assaporato le delizie che ho descritto? Speriamo di visitare di nuovo l'isola di Hawaii per mangiare le delizie che sono disponibili nei suoi farmers' market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Come nota Alicia nel suo commento, persone affette da insufficienza renale devono evitare la carambola.
