In this image, I tried to capture the charming storefront of "La Piadina di Zia Sofia," a small eatery located in Lazise, near Lake Garda, Veneto, Italy. The shop’s exterior exudes a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with a rustic façade that features textured walls showing signs of age, typical of many buildings in historic Italian towns. Above the entrance, there is a small balcony adorned with decorative plants and flowers, adding a touch of greenery and color to the setting. The restaurant's name is displayed prominently on the awnings, indicating its specialization in serving piadina, a traditional Italian flatbread dish.

 

The restaurant's entrance is framed by a stone arch, which hints at the building's age and adds to the traditional aesthetic of the locale. Outside, there are a few small tables set up with stools, encouraging customers to enjoy a casual meal al fresco. The menu, displayed on boards near the entrance, showcases a variety of piadina options, reflecting the region's culinary culture. The eatery's focus on this regional specialty is fitting for the Lake Garda area, known for its rich food traditions and local flavors.

 

Lake Garda itself is the largest lake in Italy and is surrounded by picturesque towns and historic villages, each with its own unique character. The area blends natural beauty with cultural richness, drawing visitors for its scenic landscapes, charming streets, and local gastronomy. The traditional cuisine often features simple yet flavorful dishes that highlight fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and establishments like "La Piadina di Zia Sofia" embody this culinary approach.

 

Overall, the image portrays a slice of everyday life in a lakeside town, where the pace is slower and the emphasis is on enjoying the moment. The combination of the historic building, the casual dining setup, and the local specialty creates a scene that invites both locals and tourists to indulge in a taste of authentic Italian culture while exploring the beautiful surroundings of Lake Garda.

La Ricetta della Piadina Romagnola

 

Difficoltà: facile

Tempo di preparazione: 30 minuti circa, più il tempo di riposo e cottura

Attrezzatura: Un setaccio, una spianatoia, il testo per la cottura (che in mancanza, può essere sostituito da una padella apposita)

 

Ingredienti:

Ingredienti per 8 piadine.

 

Per l'impasto: 500 g farina bianca, 1 cucchiaino colmo di sale, 1 bustina di lievito, 40 g di strutto o burro a temperatura ambiente e 250 ml di acqua.

 

Per la farcitura: 500 g formaggio tipo stracchino magro, 1 mazzetto di rucola e il pepe, oppure prosciutto crudo.

 

Preparazione della piadina romagnola:

Setacciare la farina in una terrina larga, aggiungervi il sale ed il lievito setacciato, mescolare bene, quindi unire lo strutto e un pò per volta l'acqua, amalgamando il tutto con l'aiuto di una forchetta. Lavorare velocemente con le mani, fino ad ottenere un impasto ben amalgamato. Dividere l'impasto in 8 parti uguali e con un matterello stendere ogni parte in un disco sottile del diametro di 26 cm circa. In una padella di uguale diametro, ben calda, cuocere le piadine su ciascun lato a fuoco medio per 1-2 minuti. Togliere le piadine dalla padella e farcirle con formaggio, rucola ed un pò di pepe, ripiegandole a mezzaluna. Servire le piadine ben calde. Buon appetito!!!

The most notable Italian street food is pizza, sold in take-aways and bakeries. Take-away pizza (or pizza al taglio) is quite different from pizzeria pizza. Unlike the round pizza normally found in restaurants, which originated in Naples as a street food itself, it is generally baked on large square trays, and square or rectangular portions are sold. It usually has quite a thick base, again unlike the traditional Italian restaurant pizza.

Toppings include margherita, mushrooms, Italian sausage, ham, and vegetables.

Other street foods are the Genoese focaccia di recco (a double layer of thin dough filled with quark cheese and baked); farinata (a thin, baked chickpea-flour batter, topped with salt, pepper and olive oil), which is often served with focaccia (a thin bread, also with salt and olive oil); Florentine trippa and lampredotto (ox stomach cooked in a seasoned broth and served in a bread roll); and Roman supplì; (rice balls filled with cheese and/or various fillings, covered in egg and breadcrumbs and deep fried), which is similar to Sicilian arancini, where the usual filling is a meat sauce with green peas.

 

Pani ca meusa served in a rotisserie in Palermo

In Palermo, a street food would be Pani ca meusa (bread rolls with sliced, cooked pork spleen), and "panelle", deep-fried chickpea flour batter. In central Italy porchetta is common, which is a spicy roasted pork meat (from the whole, boned animal), usually served in a panino (bread roll).

In Naples, fried food stalls, friggitorie, sell filled, deep-fried pastries and other foods. A street food made of offal, commonly found in fairs and religious festivals in Naples and in the whole of Campania, is the 'O pere e 'o musso ("the paw and the muzzle"): calves' heads and pigs' feet are boiled, sliced and chopped, then seasoned with salt and lemon juice. This is also called musso re puorco ("pork muzzle"), although only calf heads are normally used.

In Lecce popular snacks are Rustico, a salty snack made of puff pastry filled with besciamella, tomato sauce and pepper and Pasticciotto (sweet pastry usually filled with egg custard but also varieties with chocolate, cherries, lemon).

Vendors sell watermelons during the summer months, as well as roasted chestnuts (caldarroste) stalls during the winter, and especially before Christmas.

Rosticcerie, while most often selling food to be eaten at home, also sometimes have a counter for immediate consumption of their goods, the most common of which are roast chicken, roast potatoes, fried polenta and other accompaniments.

Substantial immigration from Turkey and the Middle East has also gained shawarma (best known in Italy as kebab) an increasing popularity, as well as other middle-eastern traditional dishes.

Gelato (ice cream) and granita are commonly available.

In the Romagna subregion, and especially in the Forlì-Cesena province, a flatbread called piadina is available. It is sold in kiosks, usually as a sandwich filled with mixed cold cut meats, cheese, and/or vegetables. A common variant is the crescione, a piadina cooked like a turnover; in this version the most common filling are tomato sauce with mozzarella, and pumpkin with boiled potato and sausage.

The cassone is a thin sheet of piadina dough, filled and then folded in half, sealed along the edges, and cooked on a hot plate—usually the same one used for piadina.

Unlike piadina, however, the cassone is filled while the dough is still raw and then cooked with the filling inside.

Ciao a tutti, la ricetta di oggi è una piadina particolare si tratta di una piadina di farina di lupini vegan.

Sono diversi mesi che uso questa farina, ma questa è la prima volta che la uso per sperimentare una simil piadina.

Che dire, davvero molto buona!

La farina di lupini è priva di glutine (...

In serata a cena mi sono decisa (in realtà spinta da Mohan) a mangiare “alla maniera indiana”, ossia usando solo le mani aiutandosi a raccogliere il cibo con pezzi del loro pane (piatto, tipo piadina ma più soffice). Quanto è vero che il modo di mangiare riesce a cambiare anche il sapore di quello che mangi!

Questo lo definirei anche il giorno dell’attesa … si perché all’indomani, finalmente, sarei stata faccia a faccia con quello che per mesi ho atteso di vedere da vicino: il Taj Mahal.

At dinner I had my food “at the Indian manner”, using only my hands and pieces of their bread. How true is that the way you eat can change also the taste of what you are having!

This can be also defined for me the “waiting day” … because the day after, finally, I would have been (is it correct? verbs are so difficult) face to face with the magic Taj Mahal.
