First time in Siena since covid hit, my home for many years.
The piazza so empty for June, but everything is open, no more curfew and no more masks outside!
Nothing like the freedom to walk across the city, not to be taken for granted again ever…

The thrill of being out again is amazing!!! Even in the rain on a cold Sunday in May!!!🌻

Don’t miss “Le Logge” in Montalcino in the main square,
We’re waiting for the young racers to arrive at the bike race between Siena and Montalcino, called “Eroica”
Coming up this
week “Giro d’ Italia”.

It’s raining and cloudy but we’re out in the piazza under the “Logge” (covered arches) having “Crostini Toscani” a medieval dish in origin.

Prosciutto in its many Tuscan forms with Pecorino “Sheep’s cheese” from Pienza...

“Originally from Naples, the pastiera Napoletana has become a firm favourite throughout Italy during the Easter period. Like all good recipes, the origins are legendary. Some attribute it to one of the convents in Naples, while others claim that, like the city of Naples itself, it has pagan Greek origins.

Whatever the truth, the ingredients – ricotta cheese, candied peel, orange flower water – perfectly evoke the flavours and scents of spring in the bay of Naples.

The original recipe calls for pre-cooked wheat grains, grano cotto, which are available all over Italy at this time of year. If you can’t find them in your local deli, you can substitute it for Arborio rice, or another kind of risotto rice.”
Recipe by Luca Marchiori

🌻I’m adding the link I took this from for complete recipe with the method.

Pasquetta, little Easter, the day after Easter (Pasqua). Some traditional food.
Pecorino (Sheep’s cheese)
We eat this with Fave, raw fava beans.The Monday after Easter is usually a picnic (scampagnata) but we are in Lockdown.
There are two Neopolitan Easter delicacies, Tortona ( bread baked with ham and scamorza cheese)
Pastiera for dessert is a dessert typical in Naples, a rich pie made with rice, orange, vanilla, ricotta, semolina flour)
Wines were Brunello di Montalcino 2016 Paisaggio, Fattoria di Camigliano, white wine Gamal 2019.
