The brunch and the savory breakfast are almost the same thing and are part of the Italian tradition for some time, even if only once a year: the day of the Resurrection. A fasting of Lent fast, very symbolic and full of sweet and savory dishes: hard-boiled eggs, omelettes with spring vegetables, bakery products of various kinds, salami, broad beans and cheeses especially of sheep.
Breakfast is the moment when our body and brain are activated and begin to face the day not only on Easter morning, perhaps we should support them with something more nutritious than a cup of milk, coffee, tea or cappuccino. How about pampering yourself all year?
As you will imagine I will interpret this moment in my own way, I propose simple recipes that can be prepared in advance and are not only suitable for breakfast, but also for a brunch, a practical outdoor lunch or a picnic.
Let’s start with drinks:
INFUSED APPLE CANNELLA
X 2 people: 600 g apples into small pieces, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 liter of water. Pour all the ingredients into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and let it boil slowly for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat, strain and cool in the fridge. (I recommend not to throw the filtered apples, they will be perfect in the dough of cakes, muffins, omelettes, pancakes and more). |
CENTRIFUGE FENNEL AND PEAR
X 4 people: 1.2 kg fennels, 800 g pears, juice of 1 lemon Cut the pears into cubes, centrifuge and add the lemon juice to prevent the centrifuge from oxidizing. Centrifuge also the diced fennel. Pour the two juices into a carafe. |
