It’s sunny summer, Broad Bean Season!
We are getting into Broad Bean season in England. Broad beans get really nicely married to Pecorino cheese. If you want to be really local, English Berkswell cheese would work well.
Original plan: Pecorino and broad bean risotto together with tuna steak and agrodolce sauce – Italian style. We picked up lots of them at local broad bean field. Well, ended up with Japanese style broad bean rice (broad bean and rice cooked with Kelp Stock: the heart of Japanese cuisine), together with tuna steak and home made Ponzu (classic Japanese citrus-based sauce)… Never mind, you can enjoy your life even more by being culinarily bicultural.
Culture & Culture: Italian cuisine with some English tweak, Broad bean and Berkswell risotto. Enjoy broad bean season being local!
ソラマメの季節到来！ソラマメといえばペコリーノ。というわけで、ソラマメとペコリーノのリゾットの予定で地元のソラマメ畑へソラマメ狩りへ・・・・・・・でも、やっぱり日本人。新鮮なソラマメを大量に手にしたら、昆布出汁が効いたソラマメご飯が食べたくなっちゃいました。だって、ソラマメご飯の方が簡単なんですもの。ペコリーノチーズはイタリアチーズ。でも、イギリスにも似たチーズがあるんです！デリのチーズカウンターで「Berkswell」という名のチーズを見かけたら、それはペコリーノのイギリスバージョン。ペコリーノに勝るとも劣らない美味しさ♪ ソラマメの季節、ソラマメと一緒にペコリーノのイギリスバージョンもお試しあれ！
