Ingredients:

1kg potatoes

160g Vù olive oil

12g salt

700g milk

 

Description:

Vùlture Vù olive oil was revisited by chef Moreno Cedroni in a show cooking event. At the official launch of Vù, the celebrity chef made this specially-created recipe to celebrate the full taste of Vùlture PDO olive oil. Mashed potato is the perfect accompaniment for charred scallops.

 

Preparation:

Boil the potatoes for 7 minutes in the microwave, sealed inside a clear food bag. Potatoes contain water so will cook inside the bag.

Remove the potatoes, peel and mash them while keeping the temperature constant at 50°C (using a thermometer). Add the fats first: stir in the oil then the milk. Taste and season with salt. The mashed potatoes are ideal with fresh scallops which can be gently fried and the edges slightly charred.

FIRST COURSES

STRASCINATI PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND RICOTTA

We’re in southern Italy, where hand-made pasta is de rigour. The tools of old are still used, things like “cavarole” in this case, the small ridged wooden boards that shepherds used to make during the long and solitary hours tending their flocks.
