Hai mai provato a fare la bottarga?
Pulendo una ricciola freschissima, abbiamo trovato una bella sacca di uova.
Quando si ha la fortuna di trovarle, è un peccato sprecarle e non utilizzarle per fare la bottarga.
Abbiamo preparato la bottarga di ricciola. Questo è il risultato.
Sacca ovarica (gonadi) freschissima e intatta (in questo caso di ricciola, ma ottima è di tonno o muggine)
Salamoia ottenuta facendo bollire 1 litro d’acqua con 60 grammi di sale marino
Sale fino q.b
Immergere la sacca delle uova nella salamoia fredda e lasciarle per circa 2 ore.
Asciugare, salare con sale fino e mettere tra due assi di legno con un peso sopra come pressa.
Controllare ogni giorno che ci sia sempre un po’ di sale, altrimenti aggiungerlo.
Lasciare circa 4/5 giorni, il tempo dipende dal grandezza della bottarga.
Mettere la bottarga ad asciugare al sole e al vento se si è in un paese con clima asciutto, altrimenti mettere in essiccatore (io uso il Biosec Domus B5 ) a 30 gradi per alcuni giorni fino a quando la bottarga non sarà stagionata al punto giusto.
Dopo aver preparato la bottarga, puoi provare ad utilizzarla prendendo spunto da queste ricette.
La mia ricetta preferita con la bottarga è questa Patate schiacciate con bottarga
Step by step, how to make bottarga.
Ingredients: Roe tuna or amberjack and intact (in this case, amberjack, but is excellent of tuna or gray mullet)
Brine obtained boiling a liter of water with 60 grams of sea salt
Salt q.b.
Procedure:
Immerse the bag of eggs in cold brine and leave for about 2 hours.
Dry, cover with salt and put between two wooden boards with a weight on top as the press.
Check every day that there is always a bit ‘of salt, otherwise add it.
Leave about 4/5 days, the time depends on the size Bottarga.
Put the bottarga to dry in the sun and wind if you are in a country with a dry climate, or put in the desiccator (I use the Biosec Domus B5) to 30 degrees for a few days until the roe will not be seasoned to perfection.

Let’s go back to the memories of Spain, in the Canary Islands …!
All restaurants, cafes and tapaserie of these islands, serve this dish … papas arrugadas that normally come with 2 or 3 sauces: mojo rojo, mojo verde and aioli.
ingredients:
1 kg small new potatoes (the quality using in the Canaries is the “papa bonita”
1 kg coarse sea salt
water
procedure:
Wash the potatoes very well, (they will be cooked and successively eaten with the skin), put them in a pot, add 500 g of salt and enough water to cover the potatoes. The potatoes should float, if not , add more salt.
Cook the papas for about 20 minutes, until they are tender inside, but they shoul’d be too soft. Strain and pour into a pan, add the remaining salt and put them back on the stove stirring gently until the skin become “arrugada.”
Serve hot accompanied with mojo sauce and or aioli.
