Pane Carasau (Engl) (IT)



Pane Carasau (English Subtitles)

Pane carasau, or carta da musica, is a traditional flatbread from Sardinia.

It is thin and crisp, usually in the form of a dish. It is made by taking baked flat bread, then separating it into two sheets which are baked again. The recipe is very ancient and was conceived for shepherds, who used to stay far from home for months at a time. Pane carasau can last up to one year if it is kept dry. The bread can be eaten either dry or wet (with water, wine, or sauces). It is called carta da musica in Italian, meaning sheet music, in reference to its large and paper thin shape.







Pane Carasau (IT)



 Il carasau o carasato è probabilmente il pane sardo più conosciuto al di fuori dell’isola. Viene chiamato anche “carta da musica” per le sembianze pergamenacee.

Pane sottile, lo si usa sbriciolato nel brodo o nel latte, condito con olio e sale oppure bagnato e farcito con pietanze di vario genere e arrotolato.

Si presenta come un disco sottile (2-3 millimetri) con diametro variabile dai 15 ai 40 centimetri.

Descrizione: Il Pane Carasau fa parte dei prodotti alimentari caratteristici della Sardegna ed è una vera e propria specialità: questo particolare pane è conosciuto anche col nome di "carta da musica" per il suo spessore sottilissimo. Si ottiene da farina di grano duro, acqua, sale e lievito, viene lavorato interamente a mano e successivamente cotto nel forno a legna. Il risultato finale sarà una leggerissima sfoglia dorata croccante e saporita.


Ramps - Allium Tricoccum (Engl)



Ramps are wild baby leeks that grow only from Canada to the Carolinas. They resemble a scallion, only with broader leaves. Ramps have an robust, garlicky-onion, yet slightly sweet flavor.

This native North American plant, a wild member of the leek and onion family, has long been celebrated as a harbinger of spring in the southern Appalachian region. In more recent years, it has become a big hit at farmers markets in the brief period between winter and the first onslaught of summer crops.

Choose ramps that are firm with bright-colored greenery. Wrap tightly in a plastic bag and refrigerate for up a week. Ramps can be used both raw, cooked or pickled. Trim the root ends just before cooking.

You can use ramps in any recipe that calls for garlic or scallions. The entire plant – bulb, stem and leaves – is edible.
