Antola Mountain and daffodils ("casa del romano")

(Regional Nature Park)

It's the highest summit in the same Park and it's located on the ridge that connects the upper "Valley Scrivia" with "high Valley Trebbia". Known to all Genoese to the beautiful blooms that color its slopes. Traditional hiking destination.

I've already talked about Antola Mountain (26 November Post) ... with fog, rain and a plate of "polenta". From May to June, depending on the weather, it turns into a sea of ​​white daffodils. One Saturday with  sun, has become the perfect day for an outing with family and Bella of course!

Recco,sea and...focaccia!

  A small beach in Recco (near Genoa), in January...           

Sea and snow!

and now in August 2015...

                                                           

And about the famous "Focaccia of Recco"...

Prepare a dough with oil, water, salt, flour (about 2 hg. for a pan) let it sit for about 2 hours in

plastic wrap, then divide in half and roll it thin, put on the first part many big pieces of "stracchino"cheese, cover with the second thin layer, make little holes and brush with oil. 

Bake at 250 degrees for about 10/15 minutes, until golden brown.                                          

Eat warm and enjoy your meal !

This is a recipe to try to cook it at home, but "focaccia" can be defined "of Recco" only if baked directly in Recco, or surrounding areas, and realized with the official recipe because it has become PGI (Protected Geographical Indication). should be eaten freshly baked, hot and stringy.
