#Pizza con le Sarde recipe

[semprelibera]

the idiot on that post who doesn't know about cacio e pepe, white pizza, and countless other dishes...

but you know what's funny. they just sound mad europeans managed to also make iconic use of 'their' ingredients. well do better yourself then !

I KNOW like, my point was that what the world considers iconic “Italian” dishes are actually Italian-American or Italian-inspired American (heavy in tomato sauce), while to us Italians, as well as people who are familiar with real Italian cuisine, the dishes which we’d consider iconic are actually older than the Columbian exchange or only use “Old World” ingredients...

I mean, if I had to say what the most iconic (as in the ones that everyone knows and can find outside of their region) dishes which do not contain American ingredients are, I’d say:

Ferratelle, castagnole, focaccia, piadina, arancini/e, Sicilian cassata, Sicilian cannoli, crostoli/frappe/chiacchere/cenci/galani/lattughe*, Neapolitan pastiera, carbonara, gricia, cacio e e pepe, fegato alla veneziana, castagnaccio, panforte, seadas, cornetto, basil pesto, maritozzo, torrone, zeppole, Maraschino cherries, bruschetta, struffoli, granita, gelato, erbazzone, porchetta, cotognata, frutta di Martorana, nacatole, torta della nonna, taralli/tarallini/tarallucci, grissini, savoiardi/pistokkeddos, ciambelline al vino, farinata, fregula, risotto alla milanese, pizza bianca, tortellini in brodo, crostata, babà, baicoli, budino di riso, ciambellone, biscotti del Lagaccio, cantucci, cotoletta alla milanese, biancomangiare, panettone, gubana, canestrelli, brasato al Barolo, brigidini, pasta con le sarde, canederli, ravioli ricotta e spinaci, pere al vino, cannoncino, pane carasau and guttiau, casatiello, gnocchi alla bava, chnéffléné, coda d’aragosta, bomba/bombolone, crema fritta, tigella/crescentina, delizia al limone, frìtołe, gelo di melone, krumiri, mandorlato, malfatti, meringa, necci, saltimbocca alla romana, mostaccioli, pasta di mandorle, ribollita, panelle, pasta e ceci/fagioli/lenticchie/fave, pasticciotto, polenta, risotto alla marinara, torta pasqualina, frisella, focaccia di Recco, agnolotti, gnocco fritto, sbrisolona, zabajone, vitello tonnato, passatelli in brodo, mozzarella in carrozza, amaretti, plenty of pizze including the original Marinara which is way better than the one people call Marinara today...

*No campanilismi here 🇮🇹

While I’d say that the most iconic Italian dishes which do contain American ingredients are:

Gnocchi di patate, graffa, crocchè (potato); pizza Margherita, pizza alla marinara, pappa al pomodoro, lasagne alla bolognese, lasagne alla napoletana, parmigiana di melanzane, insalata caprese, sfincione, timballo, sun-dried tomatoes, caponata (tomato); tortelli di zucca, gnocchi di zucca (pumpkin); ‘nduja, pasta all’arrabbiata (hot chilies); tiramisù, gianduja, baci di dama, salame di cioccolato, cuneesi al rhum, zuppa inglese, setteveli, zuccotto, Modica chocolate (cocoa); corn polenta (maize); pandoro, panna cotta (vanilla); peperonata (bell peppers); zucchine alla scapece, pasta alla nerano (courgettes).

So yes, while the Columbian exchange did influence Italian cuisine, either by leading to the evolution of pre-existing dishes (EG.: pangiallo was invented over 2000 years ago and nowadays it’s not uncommon to see people add dark chocolate to the recipe; the original pizza alla marinara did not contain tomato sauce and was made with anchovies, capers, garlic, black Gaeta olives, oregano and olive oil - all of which are very Mediterranean ingredients) or to the creation of new ones, but claiming that New World ingredients-based dishes are all there is to Italian cuisine, or that its most iconic dishes are made with them is factually wrong and the reason why this stereotype exists in the first place is due to Italian-American culture/US stereotypes of Italy and Italians being passed off as authentic Italian and its spread outside of the US is a direct result of US cultural imperialism.

I also find it ironic how they all conveniently ignore that Asian, African and other European cuisines outside of Italy’s also use American ingredients... I have yet to see someone claim that shahi paneer is not Indian or that paprikás csirke is not Hungarian while I have seen plenty of Americans claim that pizza Margherita (which they believe is the only kind of pizza there is) is actually American just because tomatoes are not native to Italy.

Pizza con le Sarde (Sardine Pizza)

This Pizza con le Sarde is very simple to prepare, and beautifully tasty. Perfect for a weeknight dinner when you lack inspiration, but don’t want to order food!

Ingredients (serves 2 to 4):

215 grams/7.5 ounces Sourdough Pizza Dough

3 fluffy sprigs fresh thyme

1/2 sprig fresh rosemary

4 heaped tablespoons Tomato Concassée

3 large Sage and Lemon Sardines (canned sardines are fine, too!)

125 grams/4.4 ounces fresh Mozzarella di bufala

Parmesan Cheese

Preheat oven to 250°C/480°F.

Roll Sourdough Pizza Dough onto a lightly floured surface and place onto an oiled pizza pan or baking tray lined with baking paper.

Remove thyme and rosemary leaves from their sprigs, chop them finely, and stir into the Tomato Concassée.

Spoon rosemary and thyme Tomato Concassée generously on top of the Dough, and spread evenly all over. Scatter bits of Sardines all over the pizza. Tear Mozzarella into chunks, and scatter liberally on top. Generously grate Parmesan all over the pizza. 

Place in the middle of the hot oven, and bake, at 250°C/°F, 15 to 18 minutes, until the crust is a nice golden brown colour.

Serve Pizza con le Sarde hot, with a good Montepulciano d'Abruzzo or chilled rosé.
