Tonight's menu consists of
Insalata, manicotti, pane fresco, parmigiano di vitello
(Salad, bread, manicotti, and veal parmesan)
I started last night making a simple sauce.
I sauteed some onions in olive oil
when they were done I added my favorite tomatoes, a bit of wine,
some diced green peppers,
garlic, black pepper, basil and a touch of oregano ( I like the basil flavor more than the oregano)
This morning I got up early and prepped the veal
dipped in eggs, bread crumbs and fried in olive oil
Drain on some paper towels and let cool a bit and then into the fridge until later
This afternoon I made the manicotti shells and filling.
The filling was made with ricotta, eggs, grated romano and parmesan cheeses and some chopped fresh parsley
Got the shells all filled ( note to self : use pastry bag next time)
covered with a little sauce and into the fridge until later on
Next I have a fresh loaf of crusty homemade bread to go with it
This morning I made the dough for dutch oven no knead bread
Here it is fresh out of the oven
Here is the veal right out of the oven
And the Manicotti
And finally all plated up with a nice glass of burgandy
And because I know the rules say protection.....................
Here's my guns, try and take my food
