Crema di zucca con gorgonzola

Un po’ fuori stagione, ma oggi in negozio tra le varie verdure ho trovato una zucca e l’ho comprata.
Ho fatto questa crema facile facile e sono rimasto soddisfatto.

Ingredienti per 4 persone:
1 kg zucca
1 cipolla
olio extravergine
120 g gorgonzola
sale
pepe
crostini di pane

Dividere la zucca a meta’ e svuotarla dai semi e dai filamenti. Pelarla e tagliarla a pezzetti.

Tritare la cipolla e farla rosolare in una pentola con un po’ di olio extravergine; aggiungere la zucca e dopo alcuni minuti aggiungere del brodo vegetale o dell’acqua. Lasciare bollire a fuoco lento fino a quando la zucca non sara’ tenera, quindi frullare con un frullatore ad immersione e aggiustare di sale.

Servire la crema in 4 piatti con i crostini, alcune fettine di gorgonzola, un filo d’olio e una macinata di pepe.

Crema di sedano con bottarga di tonno

Oggi vi propongo una semplice crema di sedano con una “sfettolata” di buona bottarga.

Iniziamo col rosolare il sedano sfibrato (circa 500g bastera’ per 4-5 persone), in casseruola con poco olio; uniamo una piccola patate pelata tagliata a pezzetti. Copriamo d’acqua e lasciamo cuocere per 20-25 minuti. Frulliamo e passare al colino.

Tagliamo a cubi una costa di sedano, anche questa eliminando prima i filamenti; li sbollentiamo poi li saltiamo in padella con un filo di olio.

Presentazione:

Servire la crema calda nelle fondine, mettere al centro i tocchetti di sedano ed  adagiarvi la bottarga tagliata finemente e guarnire con un ciuffo di prezzemolo e un filo dolio extravergine. Accompagnare con lamelle di pane tostato.
