<p style="text-align: justify;">This is a must-try experience during your <strong>cooking classes in Tuscany</strong>, whether we&#8217;re coming to your villa <span>or preparing it in our <a href="https://www.dolcevitaintuscany.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>cooking school in Tuscany near Lucca</strong></a>.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The story</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">of this dish is one of simplicity and tradition. It&#8217;s a tale that&#8217;s been told for generations, passed down from one cook to another, each adding its own chapter to this culinary narrative.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the heart of Tuscany, life moves at its own pace. It&#8217;s a place where the sun-ripened tomatoes are plucked from the vine, and the garlic is gathered from the garden. It&#8217;s a land where the art of cooking is about letting the ingredients shine, and the preparation is as much a part of the meal as the tasting.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The first time</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I experienced Tuscan Bruschetta at my granny&#8217;s table when I was probably 1 year old.  Tourists coming to Tuscany probably taste it at a quaint family-owned trattoria nestled in the rolling hills. I imagine a table set with rustic charm, and the aroma of freshly baked bread and tomatoes drifts from the kitchen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The secret of this dish, so simple in its tasteful complexity, is profound, a celebration of the region&#8217;s bounty.</p>

<div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light">
<h4></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ingredients:</strong></h4>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>4 ripe tomatoes, preferably San Marzano</li>
<li>1 clove of garlic, peeled</li>
<li>A handful of fresh basil leaves</li>
<li>Extra virgin olive oil</li>
<li>Salt and pepper to taste</li>
<li>1 baguette of rustic Italian bread, sliced</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Instructions:</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Prepare the Tomatoes:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Begin with the ripe tomatoes. Rinse them and remove the stems. Then, chop them into small, delectable cubes (or thin slices)</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Create the Tomato Mixture:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>In a bowl, mix the diced tomatoes with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently, allowing the flavors to meld together in a dance of <strong>bruschetta bliss</strong>. Cover with a film and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. Toast the Bread:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Slice the baguette or rustic Italian bread into thick, inviting pieces. Toast them lightly &#8211; whether on the grill, under the broiler, or in a pan with a hint of olive oil &#8211; until they are beautifully golden and crisp.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. Rub with Garlic:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>While the bread is still warm, take the peeled garlic clove and gently rub it over one side of each slice. This step imparts a subtle, delightful hint of garlic and sets the stage for your <strong>bruschetta bliss</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5. Assemble the Bruschetta:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Arrange the toasted bread on a platter, garlic-rubbed side up.</li>
<li>Now, lovingly spoon the tomato mixture generously over each slice, allowing the juicy tomatoes to marry with the crisp bread in a symphony of <strong>bruschetta</strong>.</li>
<li>For the finishing touch, tear fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the top, adding a burst of color and a touch of freshness to your <strong>bruschetta bliss</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>6. Drizzle with Olive Oil:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Conclude by drizzling a bit more extra virgin olive oil over the top, creating a lustrous sheen and enhancing your <strong>bruschetta bliss</strong> with that distinct Tuscan flavor.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>7. Serve and Savor:</strong></h3>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Serve your Tuscan Bruschetta immediately, while the bread is still warm and the tomatoes are at their most vibrant. Let each bite carry you into a world of <strong>bruschetta bliss</strong>.</li>
</ul>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">Actually here in Tuscany at this moment it is not really a good season: it is windy and it rains almost every day.</span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">Yet a couple of days ago the sun was still shining like in Summer. This is why I went to make blackberries and strawberry grapes around the fields with my husband.</span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">Well, we love going for walks in the countryside, in late Summer. To pick the fruits that the earth offers us before autumn comes. Many families especially in Tuscany take delight in making blackberry jam. In fact, in Tuscany, there are many varieties of plants of the Mediterranean scrub; well, the blackberry is one of these and you can make exquisite jams but also liqueurs.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">So, at the end of August and in September, in Italy, we&#8217;re not only making bottled tomato sauces or in a jar, but also many kinds of jams. In fact, in addition to blackberries, I really like strawberry grapes. The procedures are slightly different but what interests me is to give you the main tips and tricks so that each of your jams can be delicious.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">TIPS AND TRICKS</h3>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">First of all, never add pectin or substances chemicals to your homemade jam. It is natural and it must remain natural. Otherwise, you might as well buy it at the supermarket. So even when you make strawberry jam do not use pectin or chemicals, <em><strong>just add small pieces of apple to make any jam soft and creamy.</strong></em></span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">The second tip to give you is that in general, it is always better to add sugar to the fruit in a bowl, cover it with a film and let it macerate for about half an hour. In fact, this allows the sugar to enter the fruit but also allows to release fruit juices itself so that your work is already halfway through.</span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">Another trick advice that you must absolutely follow is <em><strong>to cook the fruit as little as possible.</strong> T</em>his not only preserves the aromas, the perfumes the vitamins, and minerals but obviously makes it aesthetically much more beautiful. </span><span class="s1">The colors in fact remain almost intact.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6879" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/BIGTOO.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1" alt="BLACKBERRIES JAM TUSCANY" width="768" height="1024" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/BIGTOO-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/BIGTOO-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/BIGTOO-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/BIGTOO-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/BIGTOO-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C853&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/BIGTOO-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">But how to preserve the colors of the fruit and above all to obtain a jam even with little cooking time?</span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">Well, we find the answer in the type of container, in the type of pot you have to use while cooking. So here&#8217;s the trick: do not use tall and long high pots and narrow but prefer wide non-stick pans where all the fruit can be safe without being superimposed too much. In this way, the juices will evaporate very easily and quickly. So with about 20-25 minutes, you will have obtained a perfect excellent delicious jam!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just a note: I do not pass the blackberries in a vegetable mill. Actually, I prefer to preserve the seeds which are very useful for our health and clean the intestines. Anyway, you can use the mill after the first 15 minutes of cooking, or as the blackberries appear softer.</p>

<p>For example, a group from Louisiana and Texas called us the other day for a cooking class at their vacation villa, in Prato.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">They wanted to discover all the secrets to obtain a delicious Risotto.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">We decided together to prepare an unforgettable Risotto, with fresh and seasonal vegetables. What better than the Beetroot and Asparagus Risotto!</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">I went to Franca &amp; Angelo, my peasant neighbors, and I picked the most exquisite beetroots and asparagus available.</p>

<p>You can find the already cooked beetroots anywhere, and this will make it even easier to prepare this risotto.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">However, since we are an appreciated traveling cooking school in Tuscany, I can only explain the perfect and original recipe for this type of dish. And so, if you can, use the beetroots (small size) that will be cooked and &#8230; surprise surprises: we will also cook the tender leaves, which give the dish an exquisite aroma.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">Our students/clients/vacationers prepared this risotto the other day.</p>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">We, as a traveling cooking School in Tuscany we are proud to tell you that it was a real success.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">Just think that one of our student girls will marry and want it as a dish for her wedding dinner.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">And now, no more talk, let&#8217;s go ahead and write down this recipe because it will change the way you understand risotto, just like it did with us.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m not sure if the original recipe comes from the UK or the USA, but I&#8217;m afraid is definitely not Italian.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway here in Tuscany, from my garden, I have a fabulous lemon tree that gives juicy lemons and I couldn&#8217;t try this sweet treat.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Furthermore, a friend of mine from Napoli told me that she bakes the best lemon bars with lemons from Sorrento and you can imagine how fantastic they come up.</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5844" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG_3527.jpeg?resize=2448%2C3264&#038;ssl=1" alt="the best lemon bars from tuscany recipe" width="2448" height="3264" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG_3527.jpeg?w=2448&amp;ssl=1 2448w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG_3527.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG_3527.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG_3527.jpeg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG_3527.jpeg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since I&#8217;m a Cooking Classes instructor and a Private Chef in Tuscany, I love quality ingredients, local produce, and, first of all, seasonal fruit and veggies. I&#8217;m a <a href="https://www.slowfood.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Slow Food</strong></a> manager as well and I wish a world where the food is<strong><em> &#8220;fair, clean and good&#8221;.</em></strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s why with my company &#8220;Cuoche in Vacanza&#8221; (Italian for Chefs for your holiday), we pay the utmost attention to preparing the whole meal by scratch. Directly at our customer&#8217;s holiday home.</p>
<p>Well, we have lemons all year long here in Italy and I wished to bake the best lemon bars as I saw these fantastic fruits in my garden.</p>

<p>The recipe that I&#8217;m going to write you down here is perfect and well balanced in sugar and sour flavor. Is not so easy to obtain this, but you can take it for granted. We made the best lemon bars many times and now I can be sure about the right amount of ingredients and baking times.</p>
<p>Last time, for a Private Dinner in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucca" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lucca</a> we baked the best lemon bars for a family coming from <a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guam" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Guam.</a></p>
<p>They asked for these bars just because they love Italian lemons, <a href="https://www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/tuscan-sun-lemon-cream/">Italian lemon custard</a>, and, obviously, <a href="https://www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/tuscany-vacations-arancello-customers-holiday/">Limoncello and Arancello!</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I love my job and I try to pass down to others all the secrets learned from my granny first and Chef Academy later.</p>
<p>Well, here you can find all the right steps and amount of ingredients. I&#8217;m sure you can&#8217;t be wrong. They&#8217;ll be the best lemon bars you could make!</p>
<h3>I love bars! Which taste are the bars you prefer?</h3>
<h3>Do you prefer preparing the crust by scratch or using cookie crumbles? Why?</h3>
<h3>I&#8217;m at your disposal for any question, just write a comment and I&#8217;ll answer you asap!</h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Fresh pasta represents the essence of my job and the bond with my grandmother. I know it could be silly to explain &#8220;the food&#8221; as something of great value or an important message, but food is my life and I try to communicate love through food as well. Yes, with my family, friends, but also with my students and customers on holiday in Tuscany.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Almost all of you know that we &#8220;Cuoche in Vacanza&#8221; (Italian for Cooks on Holiday) are all mad for <strong>Fresh Pasta; </strong>well, we obviously are mad for every Tuscan sauce for pasta, as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">So, with our<strong> itinerant cooking school</strong> around Tuscany, we try to teach how to make fresh pasta in all the possible ways.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">In my opinion PASTA is the most versatile dish:</h3>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">First of all, enjoying your time, you can make both fresh eggs pasta or no eggs fresh pasta</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Furthermore, there are a lot of fillings for fresh pasta; meat-based, fish, veggies&#8230; anyway here in Tuscany we prefer pasta filled with ricotta cheese. Then you can add to the ricotta what you prefer</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">well, what is fantastic with fresh pasta is the chance to &#8220;color&#8221; depending on ingredients that you use with the eggs and flour. Click the link for the <a href="https://www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/tuscany-cookery-course-pasta/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">many ways to color FRESH PASTA</span></strong></a></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Finally, you&#8217;ll never finish experimenting to season your pasta dish, because the sauces are endless. Here in this post, you can find the recipe of a very tasteful Tuscan sauce, made with mussels from<span style="color: #800000;"> <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livorno" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Livorno</a></strong></span> and asparagus from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Giuliano_Terme" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>San Giuliano Terme</strong></span></a>.</li>
</ul>

<p style="text-align: justify;">What you&#8217;re seeing in the picture are all the vegetables in season here in Tuscany: cherry tomatoes, leeks, basil, asparagus, and the amazing courgette flowers.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Well, don&#8217;t be surprised, in Italy we often cook courgette flowers in many ways and I can guarantee you that they are delicious.</h3>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">fried: in a blatter, stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies, or with ricotta cheese and olives</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">steamed stuffed with fish and egg</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">cut in stripes and cooked in a pan (just 5 minutes) to season all kinds of pasta with a Tuscan sauce.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Our customers and students from Norway were such &#8220;hard workers&#8221;!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They set a long table outside of the beautiful <a href="http://www.villasandrea.com/villasandreaeng/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>&#8220;Podere Zobi&#8221;</strong>  </a>(we call <em><strong>&#8220;podere&#8221;</strong></em> every country villa here in Tuscany) with a fantastic view over the hills.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sun was really shining and the table was open air, so it was not easy to run the cooking class. But when you&#8217;re doing something that makes you feel good, you forget any nuisance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So we went forward making fresh pasta outside and cooking a gorgeous Tuscan sauce in the beautiful kitchen inside.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The result?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Tuscan sauce with asparagus and mussels was delicious and everyone asked for an extra portion. It&#8217;s a very good sauce for &#8220;black&#8221; (squid-ink) pasta.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, down here you can read the recipe and I&#8217;m sure that you&#8217;ll appreciate this dish both for its flavor and the easy way to make it.</p>

<div>Recipe by <b>Erika Elia (CuocheinVacanza.com)</b></div>
<p>Prep time: 20 minutes<br />
Cook time: 25 minutes<br />
Total time: 45 minutes<br />
Serves: 4</p>
<h3><b>Ingredients</b></h3>
<p>1 lb fresh asparagus<br />
2 lb fresh mussels<br />
2 cloves of garlic<br />
1/2 glass dry white wine<br />
1 cup veggie broth (optional because you can use water)<br />
1 sprig of parsley<br />
6 fresh basil leaves<br />
to taste black pepper<br />
13 oz (360gr.) of dry pasta OR 34 oz (800gr.) of fresh pasta<br />
to taste salt<br />
5 tbs extra virgin oil</p>
<ul></ul>
<h3><b>Instructions</b></h3>
<p>Wash the asparagus under fresh water and trim the ends (only the white part)<br />
Wash the mussels and debeard them (it&#8217;s very quick, pinch the beard between your thumb and first finger. Use a side to side motion and firmly tug the beard out. The beard isn&#8217;t inedible, no problem, if there are a few little threads, left that you can&#8217;t grasp.)<br />
Cut asparagus into 1/2 &#8211; inch pieces and leave the last part (asparagus tips) about 1 or 2-inch size<br />
Pour oil in a pot with 1 garlic clove over high heat<br />
after few seconds add mussels and parsley<br />
pour in the wine, let it evaporate<br />
Put the lid on the pot and let mussels cook until the mussels open<br />
turn off the heat and strain the cooking liquid through a sieve<br />
remove the mussels from the shells and set them on a plate<br />
Pour oil with 1 garlic clove in a large pan over medium heat. Wait until you can see the first bubbles around the cloves of garlic<br />
add the asparagus to the pan<br />
pour in half of the cooking liquid (from mussels),<br />
turn medium heat and lid<br />
When almost all the liquid is absorbed, pour the remaining cooking liquid from the mussels<br />
let asparagus cook for about 20 minutes (adding warm water when the cooking liquid is finished)<br />
turn off the heat and pour in the mussels, stirring a bit<br />
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta (respect cooking time on the box of the dry pasta, or cook 3 minutes the fresh eggs pasta).<br />
Add the mussels to the asparagus in the pan and heat on the fire (medium heat)<br />
Drain the pasta well<br />
pour the drained pasta into the pan and stir with a wooden fork to well season.<br />
Serve immediately<br />
Buon Appetito!</p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Well, here&#8217;s another tasteful sauce: <a href="https://www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/squid-ink-tagliatelle-with-red-mullet-fresh-rucola-and-piccadilly-tomatoes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>red mullet, rucola and piccadilly tomatoes</strong></a></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, I&#8217;ve some questions for you:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Have you ever tasted asparagus with mussels? Where?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, do you know that here in Tuscany (in Spring) you can find &#8220;wild asparagus&#8221;?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As &#8220;Cuoche in Vacanza (Chefs on holiday) we organize walks in the Tuscan country to pick up and cook wild herbs. <a href="https://www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/crespina-cookery-nature-trail-wild-edible-herbs-for-a-very-nice-family-from-england-to-tuscany-and-our-bruschetta-recipe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a> to know more.</p>

<p>I&#8217;d like to tell you today about one of the most requested main courses that you can find in our Menus for<a href="https://www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/private-dinners-in-tuscany/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Private Dinners:</a> <strong>Tagliata (the Italian word for sliced steak).</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The last time that I prepared it was for a large family group, near <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terricciola">Terricciola</a>, a nice village here <strong>in Tuscany</strong>. Our customers chose the Menu, we did the shopping, and went directly to their holiday homes to cook for them. The self-catering villa was perfect, with a large and well-equipped kitchen (anyway we can bring many tools and we need just a sink, a fridge, a stove and of course a table).</p>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5947" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_5199.jpeg?resize=2448%2C3264&#038;ssl=1" alt="Tagliata cooking in Lucca" width="2448" height="3264" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_5199.jpeg?w=2448&amp;ssl=1 2448w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_5199.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_5199.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_5199.jpeg?resize=640%2C853&amp;ssl=1 640w, https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_5199.jpeg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>When we arrived, from the dirt road, we saw our guests while having a dip in the beautiful swimming pool; there was an atmosphere full of joy and laughs and indeed we were about to meet special people with whom we became friends and we&#8217;re still keeping in touch.</p>
<p>These guests came from Oslo and they loved the amazing Tagliata and our way of preparing it.</p>
<div id="attachment_416" style="width: 778px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-416" class="wp-image-416 size-large" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tagliata-cooking-in-tuscany.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1" alt="tagliata, tuscany cooking vacation" width="768" height="1024" /><p id="caption-attachment-416" class="wp-caption-text">tagliata, tuscany cooking vacation</p></div>
<p>After many years (exactly 15) of working for tourists coming from all over the world, I can say that everyone likes it, whether English or American, Norwegian or Australian.</p>
<h3><span>This Amazing Tagliata features succulent slices of grilled beef, seasoned to perfection, delivering an explosion of taste in every bite.</span></h3>
<div id="attachment_418" style="width: 778px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-418" class="wp-image-418 size-large" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/private-dinners-in-villa.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1" alt="private dinners, cooking at home, chef in tuscany" width="768" height="1024" /><p id="caption-attachment-418" class="wp-caption-text">private dinners, cooking at home, chef in Tuscany</p></div>
<h3>Some suggestions to taste an amazing Tagliata to its best:</h3>
<p>First of all the meat cut:</p>
<p>I strongly suggest using <strong>sirloin (or entrecote)</strong>, in my opinion, it&#8217;s suitable for Tagliata for 3 reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>It&#8217;s without bone (you&#8217;re not going to prepare a Fiorentina Steak)</li>
<li>It has a thickness of about 2 inches (4 or 5 cm) and with medium fire cooking, this allows the meat to maintain its liquids and to be pink and very soft inside</li>
<li>the sirloin (unlike the fillet) is covered with a layer of fat that melts into the meat  and make it juicy, tender, and tasteful</li>
</ol>
<h3>Another suggestion for<strong> cooking:</strong> it&#8217;s very important to maintain a medium heat (no sudden changes in heat)</h3>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-423 size-full" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tagliata-private-chef-tuscany-holiday-dinners.png?resize=500%2C400&#038;ssl=1" alt="tagliata, private chef, tuscany, holiday dinners" width="500" height="400" /></p>
<p><strong>Beef Tagliata</strong> is surely good if wood-fired grilled, but it&#8217;s difficult not to have some sudden changes in heat with fire. If you&#8217;ll follow my suggestions and steps, you&#8217;ll obtain a delicious dish just with a plate for grilling, your stove, and your wish to delight the palate of your family and friends.</p>
<p>During Summer, with my team of <strong>CuocheinVacanza</strong>, here in <strong>Tuscany (Central Italy), </strong>we prepare many kinds of Tagliata for our guests. <strong>We go directly to their holiday homes and we cook the Menu that they chose for their Private Lunch or Dinner. </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_426" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-426" class="wp-image-426 size-large" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tagliata-private-dinners.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1" alt="tagliata, chef at home, private dinners, tuscany" width="1024" height="1024" /><p id="caption-attachment-426" class="wp-caption-text">tagliata, chef at home, private dinners, Tuscany</p></div>
<p>You can accompany Beef Tagliata in many <strong>typically Tuscan </strong>ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>with Porcini mushrooms</li>
<li>with Artichokes</li>
<li>with Rosemary</li>
<li>with Aubergines</li>
<li>with <strong>Rucola, Parmesan, and a Balsamic Vinegar Reduction&#8230;that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to do now</strong></li>
</ul>

<h3>Recipe by <b>Erika Elia (CuocheinVacanza.com)</b></h3>
<p>Prep time: 15 minutes<br />
Cook time: 10 minutes<br />
Total time: 25 minutes<br />
Serves: 4</p>
<h3><b>Ingredients</b></h3>
<p>1 1/2 pounds and 1 1/4 inches thick Beef meat: sirloin<br />
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil<br />
4 pinches of coarse sea salt<br />
to taste freshly ground pepper<br />
4 oz Italian parmesan cut in slivers<br />
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar reduction<br />
2 cups arugula</p>
<h3><b>Instructions</b></h3>
<p>Pre-heat a plate for grilling, and a cast-iron skillet on medium fire. When, after throwing a few drops of water on the pan, these turn away like mercury, the pan is hot enough.<br />
Sprinkle with salt on the plate for grilling and put the meat on it.<br />
Don&#8217;t touch the steak and wait until the edge of the steak, starting from the bottom, has become grey (about 5 minutes).<br />
Meanwhile, dip a cutting board in very hot water (I pour boiling water into the closed sink).<br />
Flip the steak using meat tongs (don&#8217;t pierce the beef) and wait until the color grey is all over the edge (about 4 minutes; anyway about 1 minute less than the first time).<br />
Flip the beef again and wait about 1/2 minute for the side to brown all the meat.<br />
To do quickly:<br />
Dry the cutting board (still warm) with kitchen paper.<br />
Turn off the heat and quickly wrap the meat in aluminum foil.<br />
Lay the wrapped meat over the cutting board and wait about 5 minutes; it continues to cook.<br />
Remove the aluminum foil and slice into 1/2 inch thick.<br />
Set the slices over a serving tray.<br />
Season with salt, pepper, and oil.<br />
Put the arugula all over the meat and season again with salt, pepper, and oil.<br />
Sprinkle with parmesan cut in slivers.<br />
Pour from the top the balsamic vinegar reduction (soon the recipe!)<br />
Enjoy it!</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div>August is the most suitable month to make this dish here in Tuscany. So many people ask me to show this recipe&#8230;and so it&#8217;s done this incredible and tasty, evergreen delight.</div>
<div></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/17219519252_ec668159a5_o-3.jpg?resize=636%2C478&#038;ssl=1" alt="parmigiana" width="636" height="478" /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This recipe was a success also with regard to one of my <strong>virtual cooking classes</strong> of which I am putting the video below. <em><strong>The written recipe is instead at the end of this post.</strong></em></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Know that you can make this dish also as a single portion. It will be very elegant and you will make a good impression with your friends. The only care, in this case, is to use a mozzarella that is not fresh.</div>

<p>In fact, during my <strong><a href="https://www.cookingclassesintuscany.net/store/">online cooking classes</a>,</strong> I could see that if you use fresh mozzarella, the eggplants slices tend to relax, to expand in the oven. Therefore the elegant scenographic effect of the Aubergine Tower is lost. This does not happen with the <strong>low moisture mozzarella.</strong></p>

</ul>
<p><strong>Cooking Directions</strong></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><b><i>To prepare the tomato sauce for Eggplant (Aubergines) Parmigiana di Melanzane</i></b></span><span class="s2"> add the garlic and the onion in a saucepan, with 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Fry for a few minutes, then add tomato sauce and simmer to the thickening of the sauce and, lastly, add the salt and the basil leaves (cut them with your fingers); then taste, turn off the heat and it&#8217;s done!</span></p>
<p class="p2" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s3"><b><i>To prepare the Eggplant (Aubergines) Parmigiana di Melanzane: </i></b></span><span class="s2">wash and cut the eggplants into slices about 1/4 inch (0,5 cm).</span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s2">Prepare a pan with the oil (about 1/2 a bottle), fry the eggplants until they are golden on both sides, and let them dry on a paper. </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s2">Anoint a baking tray, sprinkle the bottom with a little of the tomato sauce, and start to have the first layer of eggplant to be placed side by side without overlapping. </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s2">Pour a little sauce on the eggplant, spreading it uniformly, and sprinkle with a little Parmigiano Reggiano. </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s2">Slice the caciocavallo (or mozzarella) cheese and deal a few slices of it on the sauce leaving a little space from one another. Now prepare the second layer, placing the aubergines in the opposite direction to the previous one (if at first, you have arranged vertically, now arrange them horizontally) and continue covering them with sauce, Parmesan cheese, and finally with slices of cheese, until all the ingredients. </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s2">Remember that the last layer must be of only tomato and grated Parmesan cheese. </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s2">Place the aubergines in the oven at 180 °C (375 °F) for 30 minutes until they present the characteristic golden &#8220;crust&#8221;. </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s2">You can serve your eggplant parmigiana hot, just pulled out of the oven, or at room temperature &#8230; it&#8217;s good anyway, even cold! </span></p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s2">Suggestion: you can grill the eggplants (instead of frying). This Eggplant Parmigiana will be not the original one. Anyway, it will be very tasty and &#8220;lighter&#8221;.</span></p>

<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> Rub the slices of toasted bread (just one side) with half garlic clove </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> Drizzle a heavy-bottomed large pan with Evo oil </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> place in it calamint and the remaining garlic and wait until the oil is hot </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> place the red onion roughly chopped in the pan and cook over medium-low heat until it becomes translucent (not brown) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> add the roughly chopped veggies: celery (remind to put in the leaves too), Swiss chard and the spinach (you can also use mushrooms and chicory), and stir briefly to wilt. </span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> cook over low heat for about 20 minutes (lid over the pan) until veggies are very soft, adding the remaining simmering water in 2 times. </span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> place the toasted bread in 4 soup bowls </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> ladle broth and veggies over the bread in each bowl </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> when they&#8217;re full, use a teaspoon to slightly dig a hole in the center of veggies </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> and break the eggs in this hole, one in each bowl </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> top with a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"> put in the oven 400 F° to grill, for about 15 minutes. Until the whites are set, but the yellow is still runny </span></li>
