Crostini con ricotta acciughe e capperi

Crostini with whipped ricotta, anchovy & caperberries

Makes 12

Brush the slices of bread with a little olive oil and place on a chargrill pan. Cook over a high heat until chargrill lines appear, then turn over and cook the other side, ensuring that the bread doesn’t burn. This can be done several hours in advance or just before serving, if you would like the crostini to be slightly warm.

Place the ricotta in a mini food processor and process for about 15 seconds until it turns into a thick cream. (This can be done ahead of time and set aside in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the crostini.) Transfer the ricotta cream to a piping bag, and pipe a small mound onto each slice of grilled bread. Wrap an anchovy around the ricotta, top with a caperberry (or 3 capers) and serve immediately.

Ingredients

  • 1 small breadstick or baguette, cut into 1 cm thick slices
  • olive oil, for brushing
  • 180 g ricotta
  • 12 good-quality anchovies
  • 12 caperberries (or 36 salted capers, rinsed)

Here, she shares both, presenting a side of Italian cuisine rarely explored in cookbooks but certainly worthy of your attention." —FODOR'S

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2017

I have enjoyed this cookbook very much. Some great ideas for delicious small morsels for when guests are over or an afternoon of treats! This book takes me back to my childhood and memories of my grandmothers recipes as well as many enjoyable Aperitivo hours spent with a glass of Prosecco in small towns and large cities in Italy! The book has wonderful pictures to not only capture your imagination but to give you a little support in the “did I get it right?” age old cooking question!!
I have yet to make any of the sweet treats but have enjoyed the Zeppole (I used buttery Sicilian green olives), the Polpettine di Melanzane (what a wonderfully light alternative!) and the Fiori di zucchini riipieni to name a few. I can highly recommend this book, the recipes work and are delicious!

Since we’re pretty much stuck wherever we are, this book allows up to travel to all these wonderful sites, that would cost a small fortune to visit, even if we could in the Covid era. Follow your senses, especially your senses of aroma & taste! Choose a recipe, region, or ingredient, & send yourselves to Italy! This author has some serious cred! We’re 10 recipes ahead of you! Just try’n catch up! Be healthy & well!!!

If you love sardines, you'll adore this cookbook. (there are many sardine recipes) I have a list of dishes I plan to try. Many of them are quite easy, I think.

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2022

So I bought this book for Christmas for my boyfriends mother...... And she loves it. She's a big foodie and loves street food the most. She doesn't really use it, she mainly looks at the pictures and reads the recipes. But occasionally she has me cook some of the recipes and so far they've turned out good.

This book is very well written. I bought it to make myself familiar with the names of the food I will be exposed on my trip to Italy. It’s not just recipes, it’s the Italian culture of eating while socialising described in the book. Happy with the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genussvoll, unkompliziert und italienisch
Reviewed in Germany on February 5, 2019

Zuerst ein kleiner Hinweis: Es gibt auch ein deutschsprachiges Kochbuch mit dem identen Titel "Italian Street Food", ebenfalls sehr empfehlenswert, es handelt sich aber um verschiedene Bücher.
Dieses englischsprachige Werk punktet auf vielerlei Art und Weise: Tolle, appetitanregende Speisefotos und modern aufgemachte Impressionen von Italien. Alles kommt sehr zeitgemäß rüber ohne die Tradition aus den Augen zu verlieren.
Man muss nicht gerade auf der Straße unterwegs sein, um an diesen Gerichten Freude zu haben, zutreffend ist jedenfalls, dass sich viele Speisen unkompliziert konsumieren lassen und nicht nach Tafelsilber und edlen Porzellan schreien (obwohl ich hier niemanden aufhalten möchte, sich der köstlichen Gerichte in gehobener Atmosphäre zu erfreuen).
Die Rezepte sind jedenfalls meist nicht allzu kompliziert und absolut Party- und Brunch-tauglich. Minipizzas, köstliches Gebäck süß und pikant und vieles mehr. Ob Stehempfang, Silvestereinladung oder Sommerfest: Diese köstlichen italienischen Gerichte kommen sicher generationsübergreifend bei den meisten Leuten gut an. Sollte sich die Geselligkeit bei dem einen oder anderen in Grenzen halten: Ein oder zwei Gerichte aus dem Buch nachkochen, ein paar alte Filme von Adriano Celentano oder Bud Spencer und Terence Hill ansehen, Imbisse dabei genussvoll verzehren, die Gegend um die Couch vollbröseln (am nächsten Tag kann man ja bei Amazon gegebenenfalls einen Handstaubsauger bestellen), Spaß haben!
