Cacciucco alla Livornese

Hi friends, today we are discussing about how to make Cacciuco alla Livornese  Its an Italian recipe and many of us who like Italian food definitely likes it too. So here below a simple and amazing recipe for those who love Cacciuco alla Livornese and want to make them on their own at home or with their friends. I hope you will enjoy this.

Ingredients
4 Tbs. Extra Virgin olive oil
1 Med. onion, finely chopped
1 Stalk celery, finely chopped
1 Med. carrot, finely chopped
4 − 8 Calamari, cleaned and chopped into rings
1 Cup dry red wine
1 28 oz. can Italian plum tomatoes
1 Lb. mussels, cleaned and de−bearded
1 Dozen littleneck clams
1 Cup water
1 Doz. medium shrimp, peeled and de−veined
1 Doz. sea scallops (optional)
2 Lb. assorted firm fleshed fish(Haddock, schrod, cod, monkfish, etc.) cut into large chunks
4 Tbs. flat leaf Italian parsley, finely chopped Freshly ground black pepper


Method

Heat the olive oil over moderate heat in a four to six quart pot, then add the onion, celery and carrot, stirring as they go in. Saute the vegetables until they become soft and slightly browned−about ten minutes.

Raise the heat to high and add the calamari. Saute, stirring constantly, until they become purple and begin to brown slightly−two or three minutes.

With the heat still on high, add the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot for any bits of vegetables that may have caramelized. Boil for a minute or two in order to evaporate the alcohol. Reduce the heat to low, and, with the pot off the stove, add the tomatoes, crushing them with the back of a fork as they go in.

Return the pot to the stove and bring the calamari/tomato/wine mixture to the simmer. Simmer gently while you prepare the mussels and clams. In a separate four to six quart pot, add the mussels, clams and water, then bring to the boil. Cover the pot, lower the heat to medium and allow the shellfish to steam for about five minutes, or until their shells open. Discard any that have not opened. When they have finished steaming, remove the pot from the stove and remove the shellfish with a slotted spoon, reserving the steaming liquid. When the shellfish are cool enough to handle, remove them from their shells

Add the shrimp and optional scallops to the simmering tomato mixture, raising the heat if necessary to maintain the simmer. Cook for approximately three minutes, until the shrimp begin to turn pink. Add the clams and mussels and their reserved steaming liquid, being careful at the end not to add any sand that may have precipitated to the bottom of the pot. Simmer for an additional three minutes, stirring gently once or twice.


Add the fish, but do not stir the pot this time as it will cause the fish to break apart further. You're seeking a finished dish with large chunks of fish in addition to the other seafood. Simmer for five minutes, then remove the pot from the heat.

If using bruschetta, place a piece in each of four bowls, then ladle the soup over the bread, being careful to include a sample of each type of seafood you've cooked. Garnish each bowl with the freshly chopped parsley and a few grinds of black pepper. Serve at once.

Basic Polenta

Hi today we are discussing about to make Basic Polenta. Its an Italian recipe and people like it all over the world. So here below a simple and amazing recipe for those who love Basic Polenta and want to make them on their own at home or with their friends. Hope you will enjoy this

Ingredients

9 Cups Water

1 Teaspoon Salt

3 Cups Cornmeal; coarse−grain


polenta slices

Method
Bring water to a boil in a large heavy pot. Add salt and reduce heat until water is simmering. Take cornmeal by the handful and add to water very slowly,
controlling the flow to a thin stream through your fingers. To avoid lumps, stir quickly with a long handled wooden spoon while adding cornmeal.

If necessary, stop adding cornmeal from time to time and beat mixture vigorously. Cook, stirring constantly, 20 to 30 minutes. Polenta will become very thick while cooking. It is done when it comes away cleanly from the sides of the pot. Pour polenta into a large wooden board or a large platter.

Wet your hands and smooth out polenta evenly, about 2 inches thick. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes or until polenta solidifies. Cut cooled polenta into slices 1 inch wide and 6 inches long. Place slices in individual dishes. Serve hot, covered with your favorite sauce. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Variation: Fried Polenta (Polenta Fritta): Prepare polenta and let cool completely. Cut cooled polenta into slices 2 inches wide and 6 inches long. Pour oil about 1 inch deep in a large skillet. Heat oil until a 1−inch cube of bread turns golden almost immediately. Fry polenta slices on both sides until light golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot. It is important to ensure the oil is hot enough, otherwise the polenta will absorb oil and your polenta will be greasy and unpalatable.

Basic Italian Bread

Now today we are going to share an Italian bread making recipe named as Biga. Biga is a type of pre ferment used in Italian baking. Hope you all enjoy it.

Ingredients

Biga

1/2 Teas. Active Dry Yeast

1 Cup Lukewarm water

2 Cups Unbleached, All−purpose Flour

Mix the yeast and water together, and then slowly start adding the flour, mixing well. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for up to 6 hours. Refrigerate overnight.

Bread:
2 Cups Warm Water (about 90 degrees F.)

1 Pkg. Active Dry Yeast

5−6 Cups All−purpose, Unbleached Flour

2 Ts. Salt

Method

Place the water in a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over top and mix well. Let sit 10 minutes until bubbly. Add the biga, flour, and salt and stir with a wooden spoon (or mix with your hands) until everything is mixed. The dough will be fairly wet and sticky at this point. Cover and let stand in a warm spot for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled in volume.

Punch down the dough, folding it over on itself two or three times, cover and let rise once more until doubled, about 1 hour. If you choose, you could refrigerate your dough at this time and leave it overnight to prepare the next day.

Turn out your dough onto a floured baking sheet, and without overworking it too much shape into one large or two smaller round or oval shaped loaves, using as much extra flour as needed to keep it from sticking. Slash across the tops of the loaves with a serrated knife or razor just prior to baking.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and place a casserole dish with boiling water on the lower oven rack. Bake your bread 30 minutes, turn the baking sheet around, and reduce the heat to 300 degrees and bake for another 30−45 minutes. At this point your bread should be golden brown and should sound hollow when you tap the bottom. Allow the bread to cool to room temperature and serve.

Spoon batter over syrup mixture.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until top springs back when touched.

Invert onto serving plate. A favorite breakfast for when the kids have a "sleep-over."
