Stracciatella Gelato

Stracciatella Gelato

By Phil Torre
Stracciatella Gelato is kind of like American chocolate chip ice cream, except completely different. Instead of the chips and sometimes chunks you find in American product, Stracciattella has fine bits of chocolate throughout, which results in a great texture with just the slightest crunch in every bite. This is achieved by drizzling in a thin stream of melted chocolate during the final stages of churning, which hardens on contact and gets broken up as it churns.

Italy's Food Culture is a series of regional Italian cookbooks, translated into English, from publisher Oronzo Editions. Two volumes have been released so far, Puglia: A Culinary Memoir and Sicily: Culinary Crossroads. The noble goal of this series is to give the American reader an unfiltered look into the rich regional culinary history and recipes of Italy, and it is off to a great start.

Featured Recipe: Grilled Chicken with Salmoriglio

It has gotten so that I cannot have a barbecue without making this fragrant and tasty chicken dish on the grill. Everybody expects it, and there is never a piece of chicken or a drop of Salmoriglio left over. Instead of marinating the chicken and basting it while cooking, which causes a lot of flare ups, I like to use the technique described below (we call it the flash-pan technique). I can't even begin to describe the excitement and buzz in the air when the guests see us coming out of the kitchen to the grill with the hot pans.
