Caponata (pronounced ka·puh·naa·tuh)adapted from DELICIOUS, is a classic Sicilian appetizer or side dish mainly made of eggplants, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes with capers and olives. In short, it is a cousin of the French ratatouille and can be served with toasted ciabatta, pasta and to pair with fish. I used long, slender light purple Chinese eggplants, but you can use Lebanese eggplants, white eggplants or regular globe eggplants. This recipe makes a lot but keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days.
Vincotto is an Italian sweet and savoury condiment that is produced by gentle, long simmering of grape must. If you don't have it, simply use balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar instead.

This beautiful spring dish with green asparagus and edible flowers is a twist on the classic vitello tonnato, a Piedmontese dish of cold, sliced veal covered with a creamy, mayonnaise-like sauce that has been flavoured with tuna. The simple grilled asparagus works so well with the creamy tuna sauce. It is a delicious side dish for the bbq but can also be served as a starter.

A deliciously healthy main to serve for spring dinners that’s just as good cold as it is hot from the oven. Here the salmon is hidden under an aromatic wild garlic crust made with fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, pumpkin seed flour, butter and egg yolk. Cherry tomatoes roast alongside salmon fillets and make a delicious salad with some greens. It goes well with fresh homemade bread.

I bet that you've never had a caprese salad like this before! Grab two oxheart tomatoes, cut them into thirds horizontally and create your own Caprese burger with creamy herb burrata - a fun twist on the classic Italian salad. It's gluten-free and keto-friendly.
Oxheart is an old heirloom from the 1920's. It is an extra large, heart shaped (or cone-shaped) tomato that is usually pinkish red (there are many other varieties; the one I use for the recipe is called Coeur de Boeuf), firm and meaty with fewer seeds and a mild sweet tomato flavour. If you can't find them, use beefsteak tomatoes instead.

Evenly thin sliced strips of pig ears are first slow cooked in a pot water with garlic, peppercorns and herb, then fried in ghee until crispy and served with chilli sauce. Don’t fear the pigs' ear. People all over the world eat them and they are considered a delicacy in some parts of the world. It’s putting the whole pig to good use and more sustainable, less wasteful and they are less expensive too. In China, pig's ears are braised with innards and served as an appetizer. In Japen, they are pickled or sauteed with vegetables. Europeans also like pig ears boiled, stewed, smoked or roasted. The crunchy cartilage along with the chewy gelatinous skin and meat...you really have to try it to know the taste.
Pig ears contain lots of collagen, so they must be cooked low and slow. Cover the pig ears in water and cook until tender (2.5-3 hours) before frying them.

A simple, keto-friendly spring meal that uses green asparagus, spring onions, black olives and crème fraîche and is ready in just 30 minutes. It's delicious fresh-out-of-the-oven, at room-temperature or even cold and needs nothing more with it other than a green salad. It's excellent for a picnic too.
A frittata is something between a quiche and an omelette. And it's designed to use up scraps of this or that and leftover bits of whatever you have in the fridge, so don't be afraid of adjusting the recipe to suit your need. This recipe is based on Marissa's Asparagus Frittata, with a few small tweaks. I use 14 eggs (7 large and 7 small) for my 12-inch cast-iron skillet, if you want to use a smaller 9 or 10-inch one, then 10 large eggs would be enough. Don't over mix your eggs as you don't want to incorporate too much air into the mixture. Otherwise, the frittata will expand and puff up too much.
