A Taste of Calabria Anniversary - Cooking with Rosetta

We will fix a traditional pasta dish from

Puglia ,

orecchiette

or “little ears”,

tossed with broccoli rape. We will

then

roast a

whole fish under a crust of salt

which is

popular

all over Southern Italy.

The salt crust

leaves the fish moist and

all we add is a drizzle of olive oil, lemon

juice

and fresh herbs. We will finish our

meal

by baking some wonderful cookies

so popular all over Southern Italy and

beyond

amaretti

and almond cookies.
