Sunday night supper club: Tuscany

We were lucky to have Bill and Chris Speake as our special guests this month!

 Mary Beth and Pete's stuffed tomatoes from : http://www.tuscanrecipes.com/recipes/stuffed-tomatoes.html
 Jen's crostini with asiago and Italian sausage.
 Tracy's warm chocolate cake.
 Dri's almond cake - still no recipe...
 And her pork
 Welcome Polly to supper club.  Your linguini with clam sauce was tasty.  Please add the recipe.
 Wilson's panzanella
 Chris' Pappardelle with pork:

Cut 1 1/2 pounds of pork (or wild boar if you can find it) into 1 1/2 inch cubes.  Put in ceramic bowl.  Add 1 1/2 cups red wine, 1/2 yellow onion, chopped, 1 tbsp juniper berries, 1/2 tsp black peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, 1 rosemary sprig.  Let marinate in a cool place for 12 hours.  Drain off, strain and reserve marinade.  In a shoallow saucepan heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.  Add meat and brown on all sides. Remove.  Add 1 tbsp flour.  Cook for about a minutes.  Add 10 oz plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped.  Return meat to pan and simmer until tender.  Salt to taste.  (Chris I only copied part of the recipe, so correct it if I am wrong..)

The noodles:  1 1/4 cup flour, 1/8 tsp salt, 2 eggs and 1/2 tsp olive oil.  Knead 10 minutes.  Let rest 30 min.  Roll into noodles.
 Yea, the Kimballs made it.


Somehow I have lost some pictures this month. 

Sammy made a tuna and white bean salad:  Mix 1 can cannellini beans, 2 packets albacore tuna, 2 tbsp capers, finely diced red onion, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar.  Let chill 2 hours.  Serve with arugula and red with vinaigrette and crostini.

Katie and Andy brought some tasty mushrooms, but I don't have a picture or recipe.

I made schiacciate, which might be one of my new favorites.  I followed the recipe from http://foodieinternational.com/recipe-schiacciata-italian-flatbread.html
The bonus is that the rising time is quite short.

Next Month:  Cuba at the Werths
