Sti Hurts When Urinate

A Christmas Eve dinner full of couscous

Un cenone della Vigilia caloroso con tanti amici e parenti e con un tema culinario originale: il couscous.
Chi avrebbe mai immaginato di utilizzare il couscous per un cenone se non quella zucchetta matta del cuginone di mio marito?
E si ieri sera siamo stati tutti ospiti a casa sua........................


Incominciamo con un antipasto a base di gamberetti in salsa, insalata di polpo e calamari e salmone fresco marinato ai due peppers, all surrounded by colorful salad leaves ................

E first, instead of the classic dish of pasta, a fantastic couscous in two versions: with vegetables or with fish sauce .............. ...................

THIS IS THE BASE OF A MIXED VEGETABLES: chickpeas, pumpkin and zucchini, onions, celery, carrots,
cap ...................

THIS IS THE ONE TO FISH: couscous headed by a spicy sauce with shellfish .

These however are invited smaller, the scions of the house, or my son, Gianluca and his cousin Andrew, who, with a robust appetite, have done credit to all the dishes ........

And after the couscous is now the turn of the second: cod stew of potatoes and olives (which I forgot to photograph!) And cod in a delicious aroma of mint accompanied scapece a beautiful rustic pie pastry, cheese and artichokes.

And after the second it would take a fresh side dish: a 'rocket salad enhanced by a sauce of peas and shrimp.


And they could not miss the desserts:
a vassioio of cakes made with dried fruit mixed with the most good blacks were the ones who have told me to call pangiallo. Then there were also struffoli with honey, but even those I forgot to photograph them ...................

Then again a tray of mini cannoli and baba ............

And, finally a fantastic and creamy cake with pistachio ..........

In accompaniment to all these dishes were served wines of all colors and shades.

The authors of this fantastic dinner were: Antonio, who hosted us, Rosa Maria, Elisa, Alex and Manuela.

renew to you all my best wishes for a wonderful Christmas
