Are There Any Tawnee Stone

tuna in a crust of pistachios

Era una notte buia e tempestosa. D'un tratto esplose un bacio!

All'istante pensai di dover subito ringraziare Snoopy (1), poi la cena. Crostacei, funghi, ostriche, champagne, cioccolato, uova, caviale, spezie profumate, asparagi, cioccolato, tartufo, corno di rinoceronte o sangue di animali misconosciuti: ogni popolo in ogni epoca ha cercato cibi e bevande erotici, afrodisiaci. L'aglio è un braciere di passioni, ma vi lascerà solo ceneri se preso with the personal terror of bad breath. Better match with red wine and fennel.

"I love you, I had not said yet. I had thought, but was on the tip of your tongue while you enjoy cooking. I was going fast in the imagination. I was still considering what I could cook. I smoked a lot many cigarettes and drank coffee while waiting for this moment. I had imagined it all several times, but I was not so prepared. I did not know his taste, did not know what she liked to eat and what did not like to eat. To begin with I had put on an apron, I grabbed a knife and started cutting an onion. All the recipes I was thinking that began with a fried onion. Of course, in so doing excluded several dishes at once. I put aside the onion.

pork and prunes are a winning combination, always, but not in summer. The crépinettes (dumplings) to chicken livers were a dish solemn, "if not ideal to celebrate an anniversary, at least some period of time and shared past that the couple want to reminisce," says Manuel Vázquez Montalbán. It would be too much ostentation celebrate a fresh encounter, a few hours or a few days. Minimum time is one week. Then beware, if someone mentions the possibility of serving liver and spinach separately, would be the end. His. Once I liked to think of all the women I would have liked to be with them. Not quite so true, I like to think my life would be like with each of them, just think. Is that what you care to think. Yet I was not hurt, I would say you were just going to attempt without much conviction. One of the last, it had a delicate face, impossible not to be happy at her. I knew little, very little, but every time I saw her my heart throbbed with happiness. Maybe I was falling in love and I invited her to dinner. Putting aside the onion, I decided: gazpacho with grilled shrimp and tuna in a crust of pistachios.

Ingredientri for him and her

fresh tuna, cut up
pistachios
dried tomatoes
poppy seeds (or black sesame)
breadcrumbs
olioextravergine olive

Take pistachio nuts, peel and chop on your favorite cutting board and begin to appreciate the scent that is emanated from fruit. Chop the dried tomatoes. Metteli in a bowl and mixed with bread crumbs and poppy seeds. Take tuna, put in the freezer an hour or so, why? Two reasons: to cut the fibers will not break and the breading is attacher better. You do not want to put it in a cool or do not have time, not bad la panatura si attaccherà meno (come a me). Tagliatelo a strisce larghe 4 o 5 centimetri ovvero dell'altezza della fetta, spalmatelo di olio e passatelo bene nella panatura su tutti i lati. Mettete un paio di cucchiai di olio una padella antiaderente e cuocetevi le fette di tonno un minutino per lato. Potete servirlo tagliate a fettine.

Manuel Vázquez Montalbán però era mezzo saggio e non ha lesinato sui suggerimenti: "Non si sa di nessuno - scrive nelle sue Ricette Immorali - che sia riuscito a sedurre con ciò che aveva offerto da mangiare, ma esiste una vasta e complessa casistica di coloro che hanno sedotto spiegando ciò che si stava per mangiare". "Così - le dissi - il pesce azzurro si arricchisce con la presenza dei pistacchi e dei pomodorini secchi, che lo rendono croccante. La cottura, seppur breve, rende la carne compatta al palato. La troverai aromatica come se fosse consumata cruda".

1 It was a dark and stormy night è una frase scritta da Edward Bulwer-Lytton nel racconto Paul Clifford (1830). Divenne più nota per l'ampio uso che ne fece Snoopy , personaggio dei Peanuts disegnato da Charles Schulz. Era l'incipit dei suoi numerosi racconti battuti a macchina.
