RTD or UTD?

Ohhhhhh, cooking. That sweet relaxing and satisfying thing you can do when you have gas and you cannot do when, instead, the gas tank is empty and the gas guy keeps standing you up like the worst of the boyfriends :D

I came back on scene with a great show at my friend O's place. The menu was discussed on Saturday morning at around 5:30 AM in front of a succulent burger with chips that made its job in giving me the strength and the lucidity to get back home, plus to put together a respectful menu. These dinners always give me the opportunity to make some masterpieces of italian cousin without feeling the moral need to decrease the amount of saturated fat and increase the lavishness of the dish name. One example is the notorious RTD aka Ridicolously Tasty dish aka Parmigiana di melanzane (layers of fried aubergines, tomato, mozzarella and parmigiano) that by now I give for granted in every italian dinner. But something else made its way into the olympus of italian dishes that cannot be missing in such events: the UTD, aka unbelievably tasty dish:

UNBELIEVABLY TASTY DISH

Boil some milk and add rice, stirring from time to time and adding more milk if needed as if it was a risotto. When it is ready, add nutmeg and parmigiano. Cook spinach leaves for some minutes in boiling water and dry very well the leaves. Oil a baking tray and add breadcrumbs; then place layers of rice, layers of spinach and layers of smoked salmon. Cook in the oven @ 180 for ~30 minutes.

        

The breadsticks in the first picture are another big classic of my italian dinners, aka puff pastry with one egg on top, parmigiano and poppy seeds.

For this, as usual all the credits go to S1 that is becoming amazingly in both taste and aspect of her cupcakes ^__^
