Let’s make a delicious Italian meatloaf with my beautiful mamma 🥰 🍅 ingredients below 👇 600g (2 + 1/2 cup) mince beef 100g (1/2 cup) chopped mortadella 50g (1/2 cup) grated Parmesan 50g (1/4 cup) chunks stale bread Milk 2 eggs 125ml (1/2 cup) white wine 25g dried mushrooms 500g (2 cups) chopped canned tomatoes 1 stick of celery 1 clove of garlic Handful of basil and parsley Olive oil Flour 1/2 tsp nutmeg Salt and pepper Method: 1. Soak the bread in some milk and set aside. Soak the mushrooms in warm water and set aside. 2. Mix the mince, chopped mortadella, the squeezed soaked bread, eggs, nutmeg, parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Shape into a meatloaf and cover the outside in some flour (this will create a nice crust and help thicken the sauce). 3. Finely chop the celery, garlic, basil and parsley and set aside. Drain the mushrooms, chop and set aside (keep the water!). 4. Pan fry the meatloaf in some olive oil until all sides are golden brown. Add the vegetable mixture and cook for 5min, then add the wine and let it evaporate almost completely for about 5min. 5. Add the mushroom water, the chopped canned tomatoes and chopped mushrooms. Season, mix, cover with a lid and cook for 1h-1.15h on low, turning around halfway. If it dries too much you can add a bit of warm water. Serve with some crusty bread or your favourite carb and enjoy! #italianfood #EasyRecipe #recipereel #italianrecipe #italiancooking #easyitalian #italianmom #italianmumma #meatloafrecipe #meatloaf

Occhi di bue literally translates to “ox eyes” and they’re a characteristic Italian sandwich cookie, filled with anything you like. They’re super easy to make and I guarantee you’ll love them! Ingredients below 👇 225g (1 + 3/4 cup) flour 125g (1 cup) icing/powdered sugar 125g (1 stick) softened butter Pinch of salt 2 egg yolks 1 tsp vanilla extract Pistachio spread (or other filling of your choice) Method: 1. Mix the flour, sugar and salt together, then add the egg yolks, vanilla and butter. Mix until a dough forms, then refrigerate for 30min. 2. Roll out the dough on a flowered surface until about 4mm thick, then use a cookie cutter or cup/glass to cut out circular cookies. Use a smaller cookie cutter (or a piping tip, like I did in the video) to cut out smaller circles in the middle of half the cookies. 3. Bake at 170C (340F) for 15min, or until lightly golden. Sprinkle icing sugar only on the cookies with the smaller circle in the middle. 4. Fill the cookies with your favourite spread and enjoy! #italianfood #EasyRecipe #recipereel #italiandessert #easydessert #dessertideas #pistachiobakery #pistachiocookie #pistachiocookies #cookierecipe #easycookies #easycookiesrecipe
