New Book on Positano

 

POSITANO The AMALFI COAST COOKBOOK

TRAVEL GUIDE

by Daniel Bellino Zwicke

                                                           Is COMING FEBRUARY 2021

Positano The Amalfi Coast, it's one of the World's Great Travel destinations, and Ultimate Dream Vacation anywhere. It's beauty is unmatched anywhere on Earth, with the gem like town Positano leading the way, people just love it, and travel from the furthest corners of the Earth to spend some precious time there. Yes boys and girls, Ladies & Gentlemen, it’s here. Positano The Amalfi Coast Cookbook / Travel Guide is the first book on this beloved area to combine stories, recipes, and travel guide to one of the World's most cherished travel destinations, all in one place. This book. The book is like no other ever written on Positano and the Amalfi Coast of Southern Ital Anyone who gets it, will see that it’s one of the best Italian Cookbooks ever published on the specific region and cuisines of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. There are lots of great recipes that I have collected and developed over a 35 year period of going to the beautiful island of Capri, Positano, Napoli, and the Amalfi Coast of Southern Italy, which most people have just recently discovered in the past 15 years or so, I made my first of many wonderful trips way back in the Summer of 1985. I’ve been going ever since, and have stayed in and explored almost every inch of this one of the World’s most beautiful areas, and in particular, the food, the people, and the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast, the surround area and islands.Yes I have a wealth of knowledge that you will not get and most other cookbooks or travel guides of the area. Did you say travel guide you say? Yes, this book is like no other ever written on the Amalfi Coast in that is a cookbook and travel guide, with true stories of Naples, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast written by me. Why both a cookbook slash travel guide. Well, I love cooking and I love travel, and I am, if I must say so myself, well versed on both. I worked in the restaurant and wine business in New York for more than 30 years, cooking for 10 years, and then as a wine director specializing in Italian Wine. I got to know and become friendly with hundreds of Italian people who make wine and own wine estates all over Italy. Yes my knowledge of wine, food, cooking, writing Italian Cookbooks, and Italy and World Travel are quite extensive, and I bring this experience to you within the front and back cover of this book, Positano – The Amalfi Coast Cookbook / Travel Guide.This book first started out as a travel guide of Positano and the Amalfi Coast with Naples and Capri. Yes a travel guide, with essays as well as having 30 or so recipes of the best loved most popular dishes of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Somehow as books often do, it morphed into something else. It became more of a cookbook than a travel guide, but never-the-less, a travel guide as well, not only in the traditional travel guide sense of chapters on specific places, and info on the best hotels, and restaurants in Naples, on the islands, and all around the coast. So, info in the traditional sense, but a great deal of wonderful info and little known secrets translated in the stories I tell of my frequent trips and all the eating, chatting, maneuvering around and all sorts of little tidbits for you to divulge.There’s no pictures you say. Yes this is true, no pictures other than the beautiful cover (“I think so”). No I don’t do pictures in my books but stories that people seem to like quite a bit, “my storytelling of food, experiences, travels, and what-not.” If you want pictures though, you are in luck. I’ve created a companion website to this book, Positano-Amalfi-Coast,com, and it has all the gorgeous pictures of Positano, Naples, Capri, and the whole of the Amalfi Coast that you could ever want, they’re on my website, so use it in conjunction with this book.Why the recipes. I love food, especially Italian Food, my specialty, and I love the food of this area, and I want to tell you something.

Chickpea Soup Recipe from New Cookbook Positano The Amalfi Coast Cookbook

 

 

PASTA e CECI

I just heard that Chickpeas are the Hot New Food Item of 2020 ... "New" ? You're kidding? The Romans were eating Ceci (Chickpeas) over 2,000 years ago, and Chickpeas have been eaten by various cultures much longer than that. Chickpeas have been consume in the Middle East for more than 7,500 years, so it's quite clear they didn't just fall off the Turnip Truck the other day. 

I myself have been eating Pasta Ceci, a southern Italian dish that can be either a soup or a pasta, depending on whether you make it soupy (with more liquid) or not. Either way it's great, they love it in Naples and all over the Amalfi Coast, in Puglia, and Sicily as well. 

PASTA CECI  - Recipe

   Chickpeas & Pasta

Pasta e Ceci is a mainstay of the Amalfi Coast and Neapolitan Cuisine. There are many different versions of this soup. Some call for a lot more tomatoes than others, while some use less tomato, as with this recipe here. Some people puree some of the chickpeas, while others don’t. Some cook the pasta in the soup, while others cook the pasta in water, then add to the soup after cooking it in the water. Most make the soup vegetarian, but if you like to you can add some Pancetta or Sausage to this soup.

This recipe was Excerpted from Bestselling Italian Cookbook author Daniel Bellino-Zwicke's new forthcoming book, POSITANO - The AMALFI COAST COOKBOOK - Travel Guide (January 2021) from Broadway Fifth Press, New York NY ...

Ingredients :

8 ounces Dry Chickpeas 

1 small onion

3 cloves Garlic, peeled and left whole

Olive Oil

1 small Onion, peeled and chopped 

2 Bay Leaves

2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary

1 large Carrot, peeled and cut into 3 pieces

8 ounces short Maccheroni Pasta - Ditalini or whatever short maccheroni you like

Water

½ teaspoon each of Salt and Red Pepper Flakes

6 whole Plum Tomatoes, chopped

¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano

Soak the Chickpeas in water for 6 hours, or overnight. 

Drain the chickpeas and wash over cold running water.

Place the chickpeas in a large pot. Add water to cover the beans, with water 2” above the beans. Add the carrot and 1 clove of garlic to the pot.

Turn the heat on to high, until the water just starts to boil. Once it is boiling, lower the heat so the water is cooking at a low simmer.

After the chickpeas have been cooking for 1 hour, take a few out of the pot and eat them, to test if they are done cooking or if they need to cook for a little while longer. The Chickpeas should start getting soft enough to eat, yet still have a little bit of a firm bite to them.

Add  about 6 tablespoons of olive oil to a large frying pan with 2 cloves of Garlic and 2 Rosemary Sprigs. Cook on low heat for 3 minutes. 

Add the onion and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.

Remove the garlic and rosemary from the pan and discard.

Add the onions to the pan and cook on low heat for 3 minutes. Add the salt and red pepper and cook for 2 minutes more. 

Add the tomatoes and cook on high heat for 2 minutes.

Lower the heat and cook for 5 minutes, as you stir with a wooden spoon.

Once the beans are finished cooking, remove ⅓ of the chickpeas and pass through a food mill , or puree in a food-processor with a  half-cup of the bean cooking liquid. 

Put the pureed chickpeas in the pot with the tomatoes and cook on low-medium heat for 8 minutes. 

Remove the carrots from the pot and chop fine. Put back into the pot.

Add the contents of the pan with the tomatoes into the pot of whole chickpeas. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

As the chickpeas are simmering, cook your maccheroni pasta in a pot with boiling salted water. 

Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package.  Once pasta has cooking, drain in a colander, and reserve a cup and a half of the pasta cooking water.

Add the pasta to the pot with the chickpeas, and mix everything together. 

Try and determine the consistency of the Pasta Ceci at this point. It should be soupy , but not too watery and not too tight (dry). If it is too tight add as much as the pasta cooking water as you want, to get it to the consistency you like.

Place in bowls, drizzle a little olive oil over the top, and serve with grated Pecorino on the side.
