"I Have some American guests to House
500g. what they would want a typical palermitan supper for Thursday 13
February. Are you free for that date?". "I don't remember, it waits
for control the diary. Yes, ok, I’m free."
And so, in fibrillation and some embarrassed,
position of food and wine I have presented that day to the family Grunewald.
There were all the generations: the founder, their sons, a nephew and an aunt.
Relaxed, who on the couch, who around in the room, they have welcomed me with
joviality and funny smiles.
I have started throw out the provisions from
the packages: Sardinians' meatballs, panelle, caponata of artichokes, salad of
fennels and oranges with vinaigrette to honey and mustard, ragout to the
Sicilian way - that with the touches of meat and sausage, to intend us - to
serve with the fresh noodles done by me, parfait of almonds.
While I was being busy to organize me in the
kitchen, I have realized that the guests had some hunger and I have asked:
"formal or informal supper?". They unanimously answered me in almost
choral way: "Informal."
Loosened the ice (very it also loosened in the
glasses) and, that evening, a started as unexpected as extraordinary friendship
with the "marvelous Grunewald".
To that point I have started to serve the
appetizers and to chat with them.
I must confess that convict was the caponata of artichokes and therefore,
wishing me that can have the same benefits effects for the one who prepares and
offers it, here is the recipe.
