Sogliola e nocciola

Abbiamo un nuovo ingrediente da utilizzare per valorizzare alcune ricette: Nocciolio del Monferrato, un olio di nocciole spremute  freddo, di gran qualità.  Insieme a Gregorio Grippo, chef della Buca di Cesenatico, abbiamo creato questo piatto, e tanti altri sono in fase di perfezionamento!

Ingredienti per 4 persone:

500 g di sogliole nostrane grosse
8 pomodori piccadilly
4 patate novelle
40 g basilico
15 g nocciole pressate tostate (nocciocialda)
Bietola rossa
Olio nocciolo tostato
sale

Squamare le sogliole, poi eliminare le interiora, lavarle e sfilettarle, ottenendo 4 filetti da ogni sogliola. Condire i filetti con l’olio di nocciole arrotolarli su se stessi e fermarli con uno spiedo. Sbollentare per 15 secondi i pomodorini piccadilly e raffreddarli in acqua e ghiaccio. Pelarli mantenendoli interi. Sbollentare anche il basilico per 20 secondi e raffreddarlo in acqua e ghiaccio. Frullarlo con 10 g di nocciole un po’ d’acqua di cottura e olio di nocciole, ottenendo un’emulsione. Mettere la salsa ottenuta in un biberon da cucina. Fare un piccolo foro nei pomodorini e svuotarli dai semi e riempirli con la salsa basilico. Lessare le patate e ricavarne dei cubi e passarli in padella con un po d’olio d’oliva e rosolare tutti i lati. Cuocere gli involtini di sogliola alla griglia e sfilarli dallo spiedo. Impiattare disponendo sui piatti le patate, i pomodorini e gli involtini di sogliola. Guarnire con salsa di basilico, le restanti nocciole sbriciolate, le foglie di bietola rossa e l’olio di nocciolo.

Cefalo, porri, nocciole

Un’altra ricetta con il cefalo, pesce che a mio avviso dovrebbe essere più considerato, vista la bontà delle sue carni, ed è presente in abbondanza in tutti i mari, quindi anche economico rispetto a tante altre varietà.Cefalo porro noccioleIngredienti per 4 persone:
4 cefali da 350 g l’uno
4 porri
25 g nocciole sgusciate
olio extravergine d’oliva
aceto balsamico di Modena igp Giusti
maggiorana fresca
sale
 Pulire i cefali, poi sfilettarli ed eliminare tutte le piccole spine rimanenti con una pinzetta. Appoggiare i filetti di cefalo in un vassoio e condirli con olio extravergine, lamelle d’aglio e maggiorana. Pulire i porri eliminando il primo strato; utilizzare la parte bianca più tenera tagliandoli a losanga per ottenere almeno 16 trancetti della lunghezza di 5/6 cm. Disporli in padella con un po’ d’olio, salare e farli rosolare delicatamente, poi aggiungere  un po’ di acqua o meglio brodo vegetale per completare la cottura. In una padella antiaderente calda, cuocere i filetti di cefalo. Basteranno pochi minuti per ambo i lati. Salare. Disporre i porri in 4 piatti; cospargere le nocciole schiacciate grossolanamente e adagiare soprai filetti di cefalo. Completare con qualche goccia nel piatto di aceto balsamico di Modena igp Giusti.
