Umbria is famous for its unique and wonderful flavours and its delicious dishes.<\/p>\n
Many of its most traditional recipes are served hot, flavourful and also quite rich, but anyone looking to bring a bit of Umbria to the table, even on the most sweltering summer days, here are two excellent and very tasty Umbrian summer recipes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Umbria panzanella may be the most typical summer dish, even though it is highly appreciated and popular across central Italy in general. As a salad it can be prepared with plenty of variation in the choice of ingredients, below is one of the most traditional recipes.<\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/p>\n
Day-old bread
\nTomato
\nCucumber
\nSweet onion
\nLettuce
\nBasil
\nRed wine vinegar
\nExtra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
\nPreparation<\/strong><\/p>\n Cut the bread\u00a0into pieces and soak it in water for a few minutes. Next, wash the vegetables and cut them into small pieces or thin slices, for the cucumbers and onion. When the bread is well-soaked and soft, remove the water and\u00a0wring it\u00a0with your hands, then break it into small pieces and put it in a salad bowl with the other ingredients. Dress it with\u00a0oil, salt and vinegar\u00a0and mix well. Many believe that panzanella is even better after a few hours in the fridge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bandiera is another very simple vegetable-based recipe, but unlike panzanella this is a cooked dish. Nevertheless it is a typical summer dish because it is not very rich and enjoyed when served warm rather than hot.<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/p>\n Green bell peppers \nPreparation<\/strong><\/p>\n Wash the\u00a0bell peppers\u00a0removing the pith and seeds, then cut into strips. Also wash the\u00a0tomatoes\u00a0and then cut them into small pieces. Then slice the onion, put it into a large pan with the oil and brown it for a few minutes. Add the bell peppers and mix for about five minutes, then also add the tomatoes, add salt to taste and also some pepper if you want to add more flavour. Close the pan with a lid and let it cook for\u00a0about 15\/20 minutes. Bandiera is even more delicious when served with slices of toasted bread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Umbria is famous for its unique and wonderful flavours and its delicious dishes.Bandiera<\/h2>\n
