Visit with Terra D'Arte the unique exhibition 'Gentile di Fabriano, and the other Renaissance' during the Viaggio in Italia in May 2006

Discover the other Renaissance in Italy, in the heart of Le Marche. The masterworks of the avant-garde artist Gentile da Fabriano (Fabriano 1370 ca - Roma 1427) are in occassion of the exhibition exposed in Fabriano, one of the most beautiful Medieval cities in Le Marche. In art works as the 'Adoration of the Magi', we see the contemporary taste at the court, from the rich decorated clothes to the elegant gestures, from the refined foot-wear to the brocate flower decorations; they witness of the European court taste during the 15th Century.

A recipe from Ennio for the holidays
 
 
   

Filetto di maiale alle erbe nel lardo di Colonnata con cipolline borrettane

   

Ingredients for 4 persons

8 pork-fillets of 3 fingers thickness

8 slices of bacon (maybe you can find in the Italian speciality shop lardo di Colonnata)

aromatic herbs (thyme, sage, rosemary, marjoram etc)

1 spoon of bread-crumbs

olive oil (olio d'oliva extra vergine), salt and coarsly grinded pepper grains

250 gr flat, small, white onions (cipolline borrettane)

aceto balsamico (dark, sweet Italian vinegar)

1 spoon of butter

1 spoon of flower

vegetables broth or water

 

Preparation

Chop the herbs and mix it with the pepper, the salt and the bread-crumbs. Cover the outside of the fillets with the herb-mixture and after that with the bacon (see photo). Take care that the bacon is well attachted to the fillet and then grill it on a low fire on a grill-plate or otherwise in a sauce-pan. In the meanwhile melt the butter in a sauce-pan, add the onions and let it fry brown on a quite vivid fire for 5 minutes. Add the flower, mix it well and add after that the aceto balsamico. Add a bit of boiling water or vegetables broth and let it simmer gently until the onions are soft. Serve the warm fillets on a plate with the onions aside and a thin line of olive oil around the plate as decoration.
