Cicchetti: Venetian Tapas in english
with Lisa Shoemaker
What tapas are to the Spanish, cicchetti (pronounced: cheek-keht-tee) are to the Venetians.
The Rialto area in the San Polo district has been home to Venice's market for almost 1000 years. Behind the fish market (Pescheria) and the adjoining vegetable market, you quickly lose yourself in narrow alleys, so narrow that a ray of sunlight probably never touches the ground. But the dim light of ancient taverns shines through inconspicuous doors, where you can enjoy the delicacies from the display case while standing and sipping an ombrà (a glass of wine or spritz).
I'll teach you how to make these little delicacies yourself.
Menu:
- Goat cheese with rosemary and honey with pears or apples (when in season with figs or quince)
- Courgettes & Lemon
- Marinated capsicum
- Radicchio with and without anchovies
- Roasted fennel with Taleggio
- Aubergine and Buffalo Mozzarella Involtinis
- Polpette ubriache (meat balls)
- Salsiccia con la verza (with savoy cabbage), vegan option: smoked tofu
- Scallops on lemon cream
- Polenta with mushrooms
- Giandiuotto con la panna (demi frozen chocolate with hazelnuts and cream)
