ONE MORE CUP OF COFFEE

ONE MORE CUP OF COFFEE

 

One more cup of coffee is the Bob Dylan song that Lorenzo recommended me.

One more cup of coffee in this case for me represents the symbol of a new pleasant meeting, albeit online.

Before talking about it, a premise is necessary: when I wrote about Keep Calm & Go Volunteering in the comments Olivia asked:
Not wasting food is a very good idea. I never heard about this project before. How can young people be stipulated to waste less, to lead a more natural lifestyle? Could you tell us a bit more about it?

And Laura wrote:
Beautiful idea. I have the feeling that young people are victims of consumerism and therefore not inclined to recycle and recover. We hope that initiatives of this kind can break through.

So I turned the question straight to them, who were kind and nice enough to invite me for a chat.

In this way I was able to meet Ariela, who is the coordinator in charge, Edisona, Sophie, Veronic, Mehdi and Lorenzo.

“The” Lorenzo who recommended me Bob Dylan’s song as well as other interesting and precious tips on cinema, books and theater, mentioning Questi fantasmi

as Laura also told us .

And these young people, volunteers from the Europe Area of the Belluno CSV, also taught me a lot.

How to promote anti-waste culture in young people?

Going to schools, as they do, talking to children and teen-agers to spread not “lessons” but workshops, and returning several times to follow and see that the concept sown grows.

Stimulating to invent special recipes that have as a common denominator the idea of cooking without wasting based on the concept of giving, but also receiving advice.

Planning to create a blog where to publish these recipes to increase the interchange as much as possible.

Organizing events and celebrations on the occasion of international days.

By proposing linguistic tandems, or great opportunities thanks to their multiculturalism: informal conversations in English, French and Spanish, free and open to people of all ages led by Edisona , Sophie , Mehdi and Hamudi . with the aim of meeting the community, socializing and practicing languages.

And still broadcast their work through a web radio.

I don’t know about you, but I’m really excited and one thing is certain: there will be one more cup of coffee.

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!

What do you think?
