Italian 1 to 1 General

These Italian lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Italian - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Italian culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Italian examination.

La cuciana ligure

Un tipico piatto della cucina ligure è la focaccia. Gli ingredienti di questo semplice ma gustoso piatto sono: farina di grano duro, lievito, sale, acqua ed olio extra vergine di oliva.

La preparazione è estremamente semplice ma molte volte il buon esito di essa è dovuto all’esperienza del cuoco e alla qualità degli ingredienti.

La storia di questo piatto è legata, come per la maggior parte dei piatti della cucina ligure, alla vita dei pescatori genovesi che dovendo stare per giorni in mare aperto senza la possibilità di tornare a terra dovevano riempire la cambusa con alimenti che si potevano conservare per vari giorni.

Ancora oggi questo piatto è reperibile nei panifici delle città e dei paesi liguri che continuano a sfornarlo apportando ad esso molte varianti per renderlo sempre nuovo e stuzzichevole.

Alcune di queste varianti sono la focaccia con le olive, con le cipolle, con la salvia oppure ancora con i pomodori. Questo piatto è stata la merenda dei bambini liguri per anni e probabilmente lo sarà ancora per molto.

Un altro tipico piatto della cucina ligure è il pesto. Questo viene fatto come suggerisce il nome stesso pestando il basilico in dei mortai di marmo insieme ad olio, formaggio parmigiano, pinoli e sale. Viene ottenuta una crema che si usa come condimento di primi piatti e per insaporirne altri.

Un primo piatto immancabile in ogni ristorante ligure, degno di questo nome, sono le trofie al pesto. La trofia è una pasta di farina di castagne che viene condita a cottura ultimata con pesto, fagiolini e patate.

Per concludere questa breve visita nelle cucine liguri dobbiamo assolutamente ricordare due piatti storici: il castagnaccio e la farinata. Il castagnaccio è una torta salata fatta di farina di castagne, olio extra vergine di oliva, pinoli, uvetta e sale mentre la farinata è una sfoglia fatta di farina di ceci, olio extra vergine di oliva e sale che deve essere cotta in una teglia di rame.

Quets’ultimi piatti non appaiono belli alla vista ma è assicurato l’appagamento delle vostre papille gustative!
