Food as Art. ( Stuffed Savoy Cabbage.)

Last night i decided to do something different with savoy cabbage, so i bought some bacon (pancetta stufata in italian), some gorgonzola cheese, sesame seeds and some of those sweet, marmelade-like condimenti that are easy to make yourself, by mixing some marmelade, mustard and a little salt.  I boiled the cabbage leafs seperately for about 5 minutes.
After this i let them cool and dried them with paper.
Then i roasted the sesame seeds for about 3 minutes.

I filled the leafs with some gorgonzola, 1 slice of bacon and 1/3 teaspoon of the sweet stuff.
Rolled the leafs and closed with 2 tooth picks.

Garnished with sesameseed and dried chives.

Served cold.

DELICIOUS!!!

Chicken liver Risotto

Risotto con fegatini di pollo. ( Chickenliver risotto ) 4portions.   Fry 200 grs. chickenliver, garlic, salt and pepper for 10 minutes in olive oil. Add 2 teacups of rice (use rice for risotto and nothing else!) Prepare chicken bouillon before you start (available readymade in any supermarket) Add a teacup at the time and stir 20 minutes until rice is "al dente" (It's important that you keep stirring and never take your eyes off it, because you are adding just a small quantity at the time and it will quickly evaporate.) When done, add a little butter and parmesan cheese and let rest for 5 min. Add pepper when serving. This is a typical Nothern Italy/Veneto region recipe.
