Pumpkin Gratin Stuffed with Cabbage and Rice.
Pumpkin Gratin Stuffed with Cabbage and Rice. How a temptation arises.
A friend of ours has just returned from northern Italy, bringing a nice piece of cheese really great (he knows our love for cheeses and our continuous search for traditional flavors).
He was working close to Gemona and discovered the dairy" Latteria Turnaria di Campolessi ”.
This dairy is a Presidio Slow Food as a testimony of an excellent product, of an ancient history and culture that is settled over time. This dairy also contains a part of the history of its territory. Marco brought a piece of cheese" Latteria ”.
Part of the cheese tasted with a glass of wine next to it but part destined for a recipe that was new and different for us.
We just bought back a little Pumpkin Chestnut / Hokkaido produced by the Farm Nadalini and that we had already enjoyed.
Because of its small size the pumpkin Hokkaido it is also perfect to use as an edible wrap with different fillings.
This time I cooked a first course made tastier by the cheese gratin in the oven and which melts and melts.
An inspiration on the net and then rushing to look for the other ingredients: Rice Venere (of the Italian controlled supply chain).

Remove the pumpkin from the oven. Cut the shell and empty it from the seeds and filaments.
Salt and oil the pumpkin slightly and keep warm.

Food is culture: expression of a territory and its people. Its history, their often millennial traditions. Food is geography: places with their own conformation and peoples have created and produced over the centuries in that geographical context.
Millennial stories of encounters and diversity. Stories of different roots that enrich thanks to their differences.
Sometimes even what might just be a small piece of cheese, can become an opportunity to travel, of study, in-depth analysis, of knowledge, of curiosity. We are curious.
For this reason,, we think it's right to include in the recipe posts also links not closely related to the recipe itself. But from the recipe or the product they take inspiration. From food to travel, from travel to food and its realization always gluten-free.
