Monday June 10
FIRST: MASHED POTATOES WITH TOASTED BUTTER AND GARLIC
Melting and toasting the butter over low heat gives it a nutty flavor. We use this procedure to give a different touch to a classic mashed potato.
SECOND: CHICKEN SAUTE WITH VEGETABLES
Making a stir-fry is the simplest thing in the world, but so that the result is not dry chicken and mushy vegetables, you have to follow a few steps. Here is an infallible recipe.
DESSERT: APRICOTS WITH MOJITO
Roasted apricots are a dish that is as versatile as it is unknown: they can be used to accompany ice cream or fatty meat. Today they are impregnated with mojito and come in dessert format.

FIRST: PEPPER, TONIO AND CHIONION SALAD
Bonito and peppers were born to be together. We teach you how to marry them in a salad with three versions: for lazy people, advanced cooks and unbearable perfectionists.

Pesto can be tuned to your own taste, and today we give it a Thai twist using peanuts, fish sauce and confit garlic for a creamy, umami-filled sauce.

It should have a yellowish stain in the area that has been in contact with the soil, and when you tap it with your fingers it should “feel hollow.”

Green beans are at their optimal consumption date, so if you only think of preparing the classic salad with potato and carrot, in this recipe we give you a version that combines the sweetness of the date and the flavor of goat cheese.
SECOND: ROMAN-STYLE HAKE AT SNOW POINT
It has the same essence and the same ingredients as traditional Roman-style hake, but the stiff white gives it an airy touch and an extra crunch that is worth trying.
