Beccafico sardine skewers with mandarin – Gordon Ramsay’s version

These Beccafico sardine skewers they are my creative reinterpretation of a classic of Palermo cuisine. The recipe for a tasty second course of fish, which blends tradition with a pinch of originality.

These mandarin beccafico sardine skewers are an original and tasty way of bringing a piece of Sicilian tradition to the table, but with a touch of freshness and novelty. Perfect for a dinner with friends or a special occasion, to be paired with a good glass of Sicilian white wine*.

Beccafico sardines are a Sicilian dish with deep roots, linked to the gastronomic tradition of the island. The name “beccafico” derives from a little bird greedy for figs, whose meat was appreciated by the Sicilian nobility of the 19th century. The popular version replaced the bird with sardines, abundant and cheap, enriching them with local ingredients such as raisins and pine nuts.

In my interpretation of the beccafico sardines recipe, the juice and slices of mandarin replace the orange, giving a fresh and delicate note.

Instead of the classic pan, I thought of transforming this dish into single-portioned skewers, fun and easy to serve at the table.

If you like sardines and want to dare even more, then I recommend you take a look at my Beccafico sardine meatballs with fennel. You will love them!

Smashed brussels sprouts in air fryer – Gordon Ramsay’s version

These smashed sprouts they are my creative and tasty reinterpretation of traditional Brussels sprouts, designed for those looking for a new and quick way to enjoy this winter vegetable. A crunchy and spicy finger food to serve as an aperitif or as a delicious side dish.

A simple recipe, which combines the natural sweetness of sprouts with an irresistible crunchiness obtained thanks to cooking in an air fryer.

Brussels sprouts, native to Northern Europe, are a winter vegetable rich in vitamins C and K, fiber and antioxidants, celebrated for their beneficial properties in strengthening the immune system and promoting digestive health.

Just like smashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts should be boiled or steamed and then “mashed”. To do this I recommend using a meat tenderizer or the bottom of a glass. A brush of extra virgin olive oil will help the breading stick.

In fact, I wanted to flavor my smashed sprouts with a mix of spices* such as paprika, cumin and coriander, to give even more warmth and depth to their slightly sulphurous flavour. The finishing touch? The combination with Tahini, the sesame cream widely used in Middle Eastern cuisine which goes perfectly with the intense flavor of the brassicas.
