After you’ve enjoyed the Alleyways Market, half farmers market & half curated pop-up shop, join us for an ancient culinary experience.
Explore traditional recipes that are disappearing from menus in Rome, but being kept alive in homes. Chef Fabrizio Rosso will take us tasty culinary journey through Rome. The evening includes samples of 6 dishes and accompanying beverage.
Menu:
Polpette di bollito: Boiled and breaded beef meatballs served with handmade extra virgin olive oil mayo.
Our nonnas used less fine cuts of meats to make stock or broth, then reused the meats in many different way – meatballs is one of them.
Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe: Egg dough spaghetti with Romano cheese and black pepper.
One of the most simple, ancient and historical recipes. Experience the flavourful and strong dish through the old tradition of breeding sheep to produce different kinds of cheeses with their milk.
Baccalà in umido: Salted Cod on potatoes and black olives in a tomato sauce.
Preserving food was very important during the Roman Empire in order to sustain a very large population and a massive army spread over a very large territory. Salted Cod was – and still is – used in many different recipes.
Saltimbocca alla Romana: A dish made of veal scaloppini, prosciutto and sage.
Quick and delicious recipe to be eaten hot and straight from the pan.
Broccoletti ripassati in padella: Twice cooked Rapini with garlic, chili pepper, extra virgin olive oil and white wine.
Boiled then fried Rapini makes a delicious and slightly bitter green accompaniment to almost any dish (at least according to Roman people).
Maritozzi con la panna: Traditional Roman Dessert.
This honey bread is made with raisins and lemons, then filled with sweet whipped cream.
This ancient dessert became a custom during the Roman Empire.
This workshop is hosted in Red River College’s professional kitchens at the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute (504 Main Street) in the Exchange District.
