Quick and simple recipes with Provolone Valpadana DOP
You forgot to go shopping and your fridge is crying...
Don't tell me it hasn't happened to you at least once!
Here are some quick and easy recipes to cook with what you have in the fridge!
The current context in which we move does not always allow us to buy the ingredients and have the time necessary to cook a dish “properly”.
But all is not lost… not even your dinner.
Don't give up on takeaway or junk food, because we have some simple and quick recipes in store for you, which will allow you to cook with the little you usually have at home, without having to go out and do the shopping specifically.
After all, what matters is a little raw material and a pinch of imagination to fill your dishes in a creative way. And Provolone Valpadana DOP, in its sweet and spicy versions, a simple and quick product to use, will allow you to give a different touch to dishes. It is a product that can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a month if well preserved in film.
Let's begin!
Ingredients for a fridge-emptying dinner (the kind you usually have at home)
- Rice;
- Tomato sauce or peeled tomatoes;
- Egg;
- Instant polenta;
- Butter, Onion, herbs and seasonings;
- Provolone Valpadana DOP Sweet and Spicy.
Pizzaiola risotto
A very simple but tasty dish that is also appreciated by children. Tomato risotto is the simplest thing you can make using ingredients you have at home.
What do you need? Onion for mincing, rice, broth and tomato sauce that will be added to the pot once the rice is toasted.
Once cooked, stir in a little butter and, if you like, a few cubes of Provolone Valpadana DOP Dolce.
Sweet Rice and Provolone Valpadana DOP Omelette
If you like the idea of using rice in your fridge-emptying dishes, and you have enough of it at home, we offer you a cheap and tasty recipe for preparing an unusual omelette.
You will need 200g of rice, 3 eggs, extra virgin olive oil, black pepper, thyme, lemon and 120g of sweet Provolone Valpadana DOP cut into cubes.
See the full recipe of the Rice Omelette.
Rice omelette is a true Italian tradition that comes from the need to recover leftovers from the day before so as not to waste anything. You can do the same thing with leftover pasta instead of rice and create a macaroni or spaghetti omelette.
Eggs with tomato
How many hard boiled eggs have you cooked in your life?
We propose a simple variation, much more delicious. Put the tomato sauce in a pan with a drizzle of oil and when it begins to sizzle, break the eggs and let them cook sunny side up on the bed of sauce, salting and peppering to taste. Once cooked, serve them accompanied by a generous piece of bread.
The shoe is mandatory!
Want to give an irreverent note to your eggs? Halfway through cooking, add diced spicy Provolone Valpadana DOP and let it melt.
Grilled polenta sandwiches with sweet Provolone Valpadana DOP
Who hasn't had a packet of instant polenta in the pantry?
But there's more to it than just the classic polenta dishes!
Did you know that you can use it for the breading of your crispy fried foods, or even make it the main ingredient for some tasty sandwiches?
You will need about 500 g, to be filled as desired once prepared and toasted on a hot griddle, on both sides.
If you want an idea for a mouth-watering filling based on sweet Provolone Valpadana DOP, we recommend pairing it with Salame Cremona IGP.
As we have seen, a few simple ingredients that you have at home can go perfectly together and create tasty dishes. In this regard, we have talked to you about the importance of food pairings and especially with the Provolone Valpadana DOP
Harmony at the table is our passion, we hope to be able to convey it.
Simple and quick recipes that, even if they may seem obvious, contain authentic flavors, thanks to dishes created with the ingredients you have at home.
With these ideas of ours we wish you bon appetit. And you can think about the shopping tomorrow.
