Walking through the fields and coming home hungry, eating the summer and drawing its flavours, Adriana Glaviano gives us a handbook of suggestions to open the window and having lunch on the terrace again, to enjoy some summer wellness before the autumn cuddling. Prepare fresh tomato soups, cheese sandwich, use the grill, roast peppers, take sprigs of mint and sage. Collect the last figs and portrait them on a pizza, a bruschetta or a sheet (if there’s some of them left, use them to make a jam: it’s perfect with Parmesan cheese)
Here are some simple and warm recipes, whose secret ingredients are love and serenity you use to prepare them.
Adrianna is a talented photographer who loves cooking. This is the second part of the dishes she prepared and photographed in the south of Spain a few weeks ago.
Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich
How to do
1. Fry a coupe pieces of bacon in a pan on low heat until they are crispy.
2. Crack two eggs and whisk them, then put them into a small frying pan, after a couple minutes the eggs should harden and become like an omelette.
3. Flip the egg over in the pan, and cut thin slices of any kind of cheese (I like cheddar), and put it on top of the egg until it melts.
4. Toast two pieces of bread and put everything together to make a sandwich.
Watermelon, rucola, feta & mint salad

7. Keep the heat on and keep stirring everything together.
Grilled Cheese & Sun Dried Tomato Sandwiches:
1. Preheat a frying pan on low heat for a minute or two.
2. Put a piece of buttered bread in the pan, then add thin slices of cheddar cheese on top of it.
3. When the cheese starts to melt put sun dried tomatoes on top of the cheese and add another buttered piece of bread.
4. Flip the sandwich over until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Sandwich with roasted peppers and mozzarella

You can buy already roasted peppers in the market, or you can make your own :

4. Put them into a bowl with slices of garlic, then cover them in olive oil.
5. Leave them in the fridge to marinate for about 24 hours.

2. While the water is boiling, melt butter in a pan on low heat and add nutmeg and sage, let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
3. Serve the ravioli onto a plate and drip the butter and sage sauce over the pasta.
4. Grate Parmigiano over the pasta.
Arroz a la Cubana
