Orecchiette (singular: orecchietta) is a kind of home-made pasta typical of Puglia or Apulia, a region of southern Italy. Its name comes from its shape, which reminds one of a small ear. In Italianorecchio means ear, and the suffix 'etto' means 'small'. In the vernacular of Taranto it is called recchietedd, or chiancaredd. A slightly flatter version is called cencioni, while in the vernacular of Bari, strascinate are more similar to cavatelli. In China a similar type of pasta is called maoerdo (cat's ears). The Italian cookbook Il cucchiaio d'argento (with an English translation The Silver Spoon, 2005, Phaidon) suggests that orecchiette are ideal for vegetable sauces.

There's no need to change your cooking or eating habits with this pasta
and guests may not even realise that what they are eating is gluen free.This organic alternative to traditional pasta is a source of fibre and iron. Made from
organic brown rice that’s certified to have been grown without chemical pesticides or
fertilizers.When my natural path
doctor prescribed an anti inflammatory diet for a month, that meant I
couldn’t have any cheese or milk from cows (which is a fav!). But I
could have goat cheese! That’s when I discovered some delicious raw goat
cheeses. Goat cheese is healthier than cow’s milk (because of the
smaller proteins) and raw cheese is easier to digest.
I thought that was pretty funny since meaty pâtés and rillettes aren’t upscale delicacies in France, but are considered everyday fare. And some of the best pâtés I’ve had were country-style spreads, or rillettes. Rillettes
are usually made with long-cooked salted pork, rabbit, or goose, which
is them shredded then mashed with fat to produce a rich, rustic paste
for spreading on bread.And easy to make. I find it’s pretty impressive instead of the
usually cubes of cheese or other ho-hum appetizers that get served at
parties. Plus there’s little to whine about, since it literally takes
just a few minutes to put together. And who doesn’t appreciate less-whining around the holidays?As mentioned, I haven’t tried variations on this recipe, except I did
use smoked trout once along with the steamed salmon, and no one was the
wiser. Don’t tell David, but you could probably get away with using
canned salmon if fresh salmon is hard to come by where you live.
The millets are a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses, widely grown around the world as cerealcrops or grains for both human food and fodder. They do not form a taxonomic group, but rather a functional or agronomic one. Millets are important crops in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa (especially in India, Nigeria, and Niger), with 97% of millet production in developing countries. The crop is favored due to its productivity and short growing season under dry, high temperature conditions.The most widely grown millet is pearl millet, which is an important crop in India and parts of Africa.Finger millet, proso millet, and foxtail millet are also important crop species. In the developed world,
millets are less important. For example, in the United States the only
significant crop is proso millet, which is mostly grown for bird seed.
