Slow Food dishes that delight the palate

In Cavallino-Treporti we know the value of a good food experience. We also know the richness that our agricultural, livestock and fishing products has to offer.

We want to propose you a recipe that involves the use of two raw products that are part of the prestigious Slow Food: castraure gardens of the Lagoon of Venice and the asiago stravecchio - a very special Venetian cheese.

Are you ready to taste marinated anchovies on vegetable bed of artichokes and asiago stravecchio?

Directions:
Clean the anchovies, gut and open them (like a book). Marinate them for at least 24 hours with vinegar, wine, salt and sugar (it’s better to use a tall container because the anchovies must be completely embedded). Once marinated, dry them with absorbent paper and season them with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Clean the artichokes, cut them into julienne. Put them in a bowl and season them with salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon juice (so it does not oxidize), Asiago flakes and chopped parsley. Once you’ve done with that, we can serve them: put the salad with artichokes at the centre of the plate, lay carefully the anchovies and garnish with other Asiago flakes to taste.

Finally, to make a tribute to our German guests I would like to suggest you a food and wine combination: we provide our Veneto’s dish and you add to it a good Kabinett Mosel Riesling.

Good Appetite!​
