Limoni di Amalfi alla Mozzarella di Bufala





Ingredienti x 4 persone

2 Limoni di Amalfi (in alternativa 2 grossi limoni non trattati, di quelli con la buccia molto spessa)

1 o 2 mozzarelle di bufala (a seconda della grandezza)

4 foglie di basilico fresco

4 pomodorini ciliegini belli maturi

sale

origano

Procedimento

Riscaldare il forno a 200° (io questa volta però, visto il caldo, ho usato il fornetto Pizza Express, sul 2, con il coperchio leggermente sollevato per 3 minuti).
Con un coltello tagliate le due estremità dei limoni dopo averli accuratamente lavati
image

e tagliateli in modo da ricavarne dei dischi da 2,5 cm l’uno di spessore
image

Adesso, con un coltellino, svuotateli dalla polpa per ricavare 4 anelli….(noi a casa siamo in 3 )
image


Quindi, mettete su una teglia un quadrato di carta forno, o una foglia di limone se l’avete, e appoggiateci sopra un anello di buccia.
Tagliate la mozzarella di bufala a fette di circa 1 cm di spessore
image
image

regolate la misura delle fette di mozzarella e infilatecela dentro all’anello
image

poi tagliate i pomodorini a fettine di circa 1/2 cm di spessore e ricoprite la mozzarella
image

Va aggiunto un po’ di origano, un pizzico di sale e una foglia di basilico (la ricetta originale prevede anche un filetto d’acciuga, ma io preferisco i sapori delicati….però a chi piace può provarlo)

image
poi coprite il tutto con un’altra fettina di mozzarella: a questo punto il vostro limone dovrebbe essere colmo

image

Per limitare un po’ la fuoriuscita di liquido in cottura, io a questo punto ho preso il limone tra le mani e ho strizzato un po’…

La ricetta originale prevede di metterli in forno a 200° per 10 minuti, finchè iniziano a sfrigolare, ma io, come già vi dicevo, in estate metto in letargo il forno e quindi li ho passati per 3/4 minuti nel fornetto Pizza Express, avendo l’accortezza di tenere leggermente alzato il coperchio con una pallina di alluminio arrotolato e aggiustando il termostato sul 2.

Questi sono i limoni in uscita dal forno
image

Il sistema migliore per mangiarlo è tagliare la buccia ed estrarne il contenuto

Supplì di riso alla bufala. Look at that lovely bufala in the middle!!!!
I love love love supplì and arancini, which are two types of rice balls Italians make. Supplì tend to be more oblong and are almost always found with cheese at their centres, while arancini (more often found in southern Italian kitchens) can be filled with cheese, but are also often filled with meat and/ or veggies, and are rounder.
