Traveling to the Heel of the Boot: Exploring Southern Italy
5 cities, 5 incredible experiences as my dad and I traveled through the Apulia Region of Southern Italy. In addition to the food (which alone is reason enough to make the trip) the walking, history, architecture and people make this an adventure to consider for future travel planning.
The Foods of Apulia in Southern Italy
An 8 hour flight from New York JFK into Rome Leonardo da Vinci airport. A 4 hour train ride southeast into Bari. Another 2 hour train ride further south into Lecce. And a 45 minute cab ride over to Otranto on the Adriatic Sea.
A bit of a trek, but well worth it to explore and eat my way through the Apulia Region of Italy.
Mizuna Greens Salad with Hearts of Palm, Artichoke Hearts and Goat Cheese
Mizuna is a versatile leaf that can be added to a salad such as this or lightly sautéed. I like the shape and texture of the leaves because they have a slight crispness to them. The hearts of palm, goat cheese and artichoke hearts round this dish out nicely.
Citrus Oregano Pork Tenderloin
Citrus and pork go so well together. I like the mix of earthly oregano and tang from the orange juice in this dish.
Sweet Chicken Sausage and Kale Soup
This is a rich and full bodied soup that is perfect for a chilly fall afternoon. An additional benefit is it’s made in a slow cooker and perfect for people who are busy but want to come home to a delicious meal.
Stinging Nettle with Crimini Mushroom and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Another tribute to the Union Square Greenmarket for having some of the best ingredients around.
Fresh Rosemary Oregano Pork with Grilled Tomatoes
This is a flavorful and easy to make dish that is sure to please friends and family alike.
Sweet Turkey Sausage with Small White Beans and Lacinato Kale Soup
This is a great soup option for a cool autumn weekend. Preparing in the crock-pot allows all the flavors to really come together in this delicious dish.
Grenada Pepper and Citrus Grilled Chicken
The dried Grenada peppers are slightly smoky and have a medium level of heat. The orange juice, garlic and shallots rounds the dish out nicely.
