Check out our exclusive January recipe: a surprising Porchetta Sushi with Oriental Sauces, created in collaboration with Chef Renato Bernardi. Perfect for fusion cuisine lovers looking to explore unique flavors by combining Italian tradition with oriental influences; a dish that skillfully blends Italian culinary tradition with touches of oriental exoticism.
INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PEOPLE:
- Radicchio di Castelfranco Veneto: 150g
- Porchetta: 180g
- Originario rice: 100g
- Soy sauce: to taste
- Carrots: 20g
- Pumpkin seeds: to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil: as needed
- Salt and black pepper: to taste
- Fresh mint: to taste
Instructions:
- Start by steaming the rice; once ready, season it lightly with soy sauce and keep it warm.
- Boil the carrots and cut them into thin strips.
- Wash and dry the radicchio carefully. Place it on a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a cutting board, then spread the rice on top, add the porchetta crust and the carrots, and gently roll the radicchio to form classic oriental-style rolls.
- Cut the heart of the porchetta into slices about half a centimeter thick, then place the compact rice on top. Alternatively, you can create a small “mound” of rice and top it with very thin slices of porchetta.
- Arrange the sushi on the plate, garnish with pumpkin seeds and fresh mint leaves, serve with a little soy sauce for dipping, and enjoy.
This dish represents a perfect balance between flavors and cultures, ideal for surprising your guests with a unique and refined culinary experience.
