KEEP CALM AND GO VOLUNTEERING

KEEP CALM AND GO VOLUNTEERING

Keep Calm and Go Volunteering! 

In this case keep calm is not for the coffee but for an interesting as well as admirable volunteer project.

The general objective is to sensitize young people to the adoption of sustainable and responsible lifestyles, in contrast to the increasingly widespread “culture of waste” and disposable use.

The active promoters are four young people from different backgrounds: Edisona Xhani from Albania, Sophie Anvroin from France, Hamudi Salama Batah from Spain and Mehdi Meddeb from Tunisia who are involved in sharing information and promoting initiatives by working in the fabric of the community to combat food waste.

Keep calm and go volunteering therefore consists of a European Solidarity Corps that is funded by the National Youth Agency and promoted by the Europe Area of the Belluno Committee of Understanding. 

In fact, on Sunday a flash mob took place in Belluno to involve more people with the aim of raising awareness the population.

And speaking of the fight against food waste, I suggest you follow Paola who through her book ll gusto di non sprecare, her blog Primo non sprecare for years has been diligently and deeply involved in the fight against waste.

It was nice to discover that many of us use coffee grounds, so I trust in just as many precious suggestions for food as well.

KEEP CALM QUICHE BY PAOLA: AUTHOR OF PRIMO NON SPRECARE – FIRST DO NOT WASTE

KEEP CALM QUICHE BY PAOLA: AUTHOR OF PRIMO NON SPRECARE – FIRST DO NOT WASTE

After the rice article, Paola was so FANTASTIC that she came up with a KEEP CALM recipe that you can find here

It is a salty, stuffed and anti-waste rice quiche in perfect PRIMO NON SPRECARE – FIRST DON’T WASTE style.

Obviously I couldn’t wait to try, but before it would be better to indicate as a premise a necessary WARNING: you follow Paola’s original recipe and instructions laughing

INGREDIENTS:

300 grams of rice

½ liter of milk

½ liter of water

1 teaspoon of turmeric

1 egg

1 yogurt (or 100 grams of ricotta)

1 handful of cooked herbs

a few slices of raw ham

3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan

1 handful of hazelnuts

salt and pepper

I FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURE EXPLAINED BY PAOLA:

1. Heat milk, water, turmeric and a teaspoon of salt

2. When it boils, throw in the rice and cook it for ten / fifteen minutes: you need to get a soft cream

3. In the meantime, put the hazelnuts in a bag to crush them with the meat tenderizer without breaking them too much (I think I have exaggerated …)

4. Add to the rice mixture: yogurt (I used ricotta) egg, salt and pepper as much as you prefer

5. Lightly grease the pan, or use a wet and well wrung sheet of baking paper

6. Turn on the oven at 200 ° in static mode (since I did not take the photo of the oven, I sneak in that of the herbs)

7. Pour half of the rice mixture, level it, and cover it with herbs and slices of raw ham

8. Complete with the remaining rice, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and hazelnuts

9. Bake in the oven until the surface is golden and crisp

10. Let the cake cool for a few minutes before serving (here I leave space for your eventual photo in case you want to try!)

Let’s say that I have a lot of room for improvement, right Paola?

I trust it will get better next time, which will be very soon because I loved this KEEP CALM quiche with its mix of flavors and textures!
