ÇİĞ KÖFTE

Ingredients Half a kilo of fine bulgur. 2 nectarine. 2 cloves of garlic. 3 tablespoons of tomato paste 4 tablespoons of pepper paste 3 tablespoons of oil 3 teaspoons of salt. 2 teaspoons of chili peppers 2 teaspoons ground pepper Half tablespoon bitter isot 1 Bunch of Parsley Recipe To prepare cigkofte, knead it well by adding bulgur and tomato paste into the cigkofte tray which is sold specially. After reaching a soft consistency, continue kneading by adding water gradually. If you put a lot of water in bulgur, bulgur will not swell and you should pay attention to this. After the bulgur turns to tomato paste, add salt, chili pepper, parsley, oil, isot and pepper paste and mix them together. If bulgur dries, you can soften it with a small amount of water. Since kneading will tire you, it will be healthier to do it slowly. After the bulgur is softened, knead the onions until they disappear by adding parsley and finely chopped onions. Do not chop the onions with a food processor or blender. You can chop thinly on the board with a thin bla de. Since the water of the onion will give a raw taste to the raw meatballs, the water of the onions will not come out when you cut it by hand. The o n- ions in Çiğköfte will be ready after they disappear from the eye. You can take small pieces to the service plate by squeezing with your palm. You can serve it with cold ayran. Bon Appetit.

Story of Pizza Margherita A widespread belief says that in June 1889 the pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito, Pizzeria Brandi's chef, invented a dish called \"Pizza Margherita\" in honor of the Queen of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, and the Italian unification, since toppings are tomato (red), mozzarella (white) and basil (green), representing the same colors of the national flag of Italy

Student’s Name: David 1B LASAGNA THE HISTORY The two cities that vie for the birthplace of this delicious traditional dish, which immediately takes us back to fa- mily Sunday lunches, are Bologna and Naples; although each Italian region has its own version of lasagna with more or less important variations. Lasagne were already know in ancient Roman times, which with the name “laganon\" and “laganum” indicated a thin sheet baked in the oven, used with the processing of a dough made from wheat flour. Various testimonies lin- ked up to us speak of a dish made of thin sheets of pasta with meat filling and baked in the oven. In the Middle Ages this dish was so loved that many poets mentioned them in their writings. In the Renaissance era, lasagna first appeared in a cookbook: this recipe included layers of pasta alternating with those of cheese. In 1600 la- sagna with cheese and meat was born in Emilia, entered right among the 10 typical Emilian dishes, and, a century later with the introduction of the Neapolitan tomato sauce, the most loved dish by the Italians was born.

HOW TO MAKE BOLOGNESE LASAGNA The classic lasagna recipe is still one of the most popu- lar, so here's how to make Bolognese lasagna: Ingredients for 6 people: 200 gr of egg pasta for lasagne 50 gr of Parmesan cheese A knob of butter 750 gr of lean ground beef 250 gr of fat ground beef Carrots 100 gr 80 gr of celery 160 gr of onion Oil Tomato puree 300 gr Salt Ingredients for the bechamel: 1 l of milk 100 gr of white flour Salt Nutmeg A pinch of pepper, if you like.

Ingredients for the ragù: 1 small onion 1/2 stick of celery 1 small carrot 150 g of ground bacon 250 g of ground pork loin 350 g of ground beef muscle (half folder and half flap) 1/2 glasses of dry white wine 1 glass of whole milk Around 400 g of tomato sauce 2 tablespoons of tomato pas- te Extra virgin olive Oil 1 knob of butter Coarse salt Pepper

PREPARATION: • The first step to make the perfect lasagna with Bolognese sauce is to prepare a chopped celery, carrot and onion and fry it with extra virgin olive oil in a pan for about ● minutes. 2. Then add all the ground beef and brown it for about 20 minutes, blending it with a drop of white wine, among the best ones for cooking. 3. Evaporate the alcohol and incorporate the tomato puree, add salt and cook for about an hour and a half. In the meantime, you can prepare your bèchamel:

1. Melt the butter over low heat and stir in the flour, stirring vigorously to avoid the formation of lumps, 2. Add the milk, salt and a pinch of grated nutmeg, 3. Continue mixing by thickening the bechamel. Now you can start composing your lasagna: 1. Grease a baking dish and add a layer of bechamel sauce, 2. Arrange the first layer of puff pastry with egg, add bec- hamel sauce, ragù, a good sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese and continue like this, alternating the layers until the dish is completed. The cooking of lasagna is very simple, in a preheated oven, bake at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes, and a delicious dish is ready that everyone likes!

Student’s Name: Giuseppe Marchese 1B COLOMBA PASQUALE Colomba pasquale or Colomba di Pasqua (\"Easter Pigeon\") is an Italian traditional Easter cake, the equivalent of the two well-known Italian Christmas desserts, Panettone and Pandoro. Several legends are associated with the origin of Colomba. The first would go back to the times of the Lombard King Alboin, who, after three years of siege, invaded Pavia on the day of Holy Saturday; while he was deciding what the fate of the city would be, an old man came and offered him sweet breads, with doves form, as a sign of peace. Alboino liked it so much that he promised to respect the city and its inhabitants.

Another version connects them with the Queen Teodolida and San Colombano, who invited for lunch, refused the food with venison, because of the Lent. The queen was offended and the monk said that he would only eat the meat after the blessing: when he did so, the dishes became white bread doves. Another legend goes back to the battle of Legnano, invented by a commander of the Carrocio, in honor of the pigeons who placed themselves on the Lombard coats of arms during the battle. The dough for the Colomba is made in a manner similar to panettone, with flour, eggs, sugar, natural yeast and butter. Unlike the panettone, it usually contains candied peels and no raisins. The dough is then transformed into a pigeon shape (Colomba in Italian) and finally covered with crystal sugar and almonds before being baked

Ingredients: (for 2 Colombe of 500 g or 2 of 300 g plus 2 of 170 g) • 500 g flour Manitoba • 100 g sugar • 140 / 150 ml water • 100 g butter • 5 g salt • 15 g brewer's yeast • 2 eggs • 1 egg yolk • 1 vanilla pod • grated orange and lemon peel For the glaze: ● 50 g of flour ● 100 g sugar ● crystal sugar ● Almonds ● Enough water Procedure: 4. Make a batter with all the ingredients, using half of the water, when you have made the dough ball, add the remaining water until you have got a soft but elas- tic dough. Hand or knead with the hook of the food processor until you have a nice smooth dough, it takes about 15-20 minutes to perfect. Papum recom- mends, at intervals of 10 minutes, to turn the dough over a few times on a surf a- ce to give the dough more power. 5. Let rise in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap until it doubles, it will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes. After this time proceed with the molding of the pigeons. If you do it without mold, the steps are as follows: First, cut the dough into pieces of 100g, then roll each piece wrapped, turn 90 degrees and roll ag- ain. Then divide each piece into two equal pieces and roll both again. Make with these pieces the wings and the body of the dove. Stretch the dough for the wings, give it a U-shape and place in the mold; Take the dough for the body, stretch it a bit, sculpt the head and place it across the wings. 6. Let covered in a dry, warm place. The dough should double, it will take about two hours. 7. Prepare the glaze: Mix the flour with the sugar and a little water until you have a thick consistency, but able to be spread with a brush. Carefully spread the pige- ons with this porridge and sprinkle with granulated sugar, plenty of crystal sugar and almonds.

8. Bake in a static oven at 210 degrees for about 10 minutes, if you make small colombe and for about 25-30 minutes when you prepare big ones; always do the toothpick test. You can also freeze and store them for 3-4 days in sealed food bag.
