This inexperienced bean slaw was impressed by time spent in Rome, 2010. Ceaselessly in the past, nevertheless it’s a recipe I nonetheless revisit. Wayne and I stored discovering ourselves within the Testaccio neighborhood. It’s throughout the river and a bit extra of a stroll to the historic heart when in comparison with Trastevere, however, on the time, it felt just like the actual deal. Anybody who has been there is aware of, it’s a problem to discover a nook of Rome that isn’t jam-packed with vacationers. However Testaccio was one among them, the outdated market was nonetheless there, a bustling hub frequented by the locals. There was a bakery, espresso cease, and pizzeria on nearly each block. We rented an condominium for a month, and this nut-studded, slaw-like inexperienced bean salad was one thing I made out of just a few issues I picked up within the close by outlets and stalls.
A couple of notes concerning the salad. It’s a mish-mash of components to make certain. However by some means I feel they work collectively. Along with the inexperienced beans you could have an arugula and shredded cabbage base punctuated with golden raisins plumped with candy moscato wine – you might experiment with any dessert wine, and even fruit juices. Past that, I tossed in some toasted walnuts, croutons, and shaved pecorino cheese. You get sweetness and saltiness from the raisins and cheese, and crunch from the nuts, croutons, and cabbage enjoying off the creaminess of the dressing. It’s substantial sufficient to make a meal of, however not too heavy. It was fairly sizzling the day I made it, and the ensuing lunch was good together with a pair different antipasti.
For these of you who’ve been to Testaccio, it’s superb on the meals entrance. Volpetti is across the nook – my provide for (along with a bunch of different issues) sheep’s milk ricotta and probably the most intense, luxe Greek yogurt ever. There’s a store devoted to spices a block away, and one other for recent egg pasta. Sitting within the shaded park throughout the road from 00100 with a slice and a beer is absolutely arduous to beat. And the great aged woman I purchased eggs from the final time I stayed in Rome remains to be promoting within the nook of the Testaccio market, the yolks of her eggs simply as orange as I bear in mind.
