их нравы

[v782]

Читаю свежий Wine Spectator:

До первой звезды нельзя, Italian style: Some people may not think of a seven-course seafood dinner as abstinence, but that is how many Italians around the world see it on Christmas Eve. The Feast of the Seven Fishes, or il cenone della vigilia in Italian, takes place during the vigil, or time of reflection, before Christmas Day.
Рекомендуется приготовить вот что:

Linguine With Rock Shrimp, Anchovies and Aglio e Olio

• 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup peeled, thinly sliced garlic
• 1 pint fish stock or bottled clam juice
• Sea or kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound rock shrimp, peeled, or regular medium-size fresh shrimp, peeled and halved crosswise
• 4 to 6 anchovies, minced
• 1 pound linguine, cooked al dente
• 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the fish stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
2. In a large sauté pan or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and anchovies, and cook until the shrimp just turns pink, about 3 minutes. Add the linguine, parsley and fish stock, and bring to a brisk simmer while tossing. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and toss again. Serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8 as part of a multicourse meal.

И запить это Fattoria la Monacesca, Verdicchio di Matelica 2006

* Из Top Ten Wines of the Year я, оказывается в этом году покупал два (#5 Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe La Crau '05 и #8 Chateau de Beacucatel '05) и пил одно (#6 Pio Cesare Barolo '04). #1 (Casa Lapostole Clos Apalta '05) -- пил ту же winery, но 2001 года, и еще у меня их '03 заскладировано. В декабрьское предсезонье предстоит #3 из прошлого года, Le Vieux Donjon '05

Связано с этим: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est Arrive! --- в пластиковых бутылках. Пишут на этикетке, что тоже борятся с глобальным потеплением таким методом :) Хитры как змеи.
