FacebookTwitterPinterestShare

Ingredients (6 people)

  • 2 yellow potatoes
  • 100 g of fresh Pecorino Toscano PDO
  • Butter

Preparation

Grate the potatoes and the fresh Pecorino Toscano PDO coarsely and place them in two separate bowls. Press the grated potato well to remove the excess water.

Place a pan over the heat with a knob of butter; when the butter is melted, form a disc with the grated potatoes, add a layer of Pecorino Toscano, and complete with another layer of grated potatoes.

Cook each side over medium heat for about 7 – 8 minutes, taking care that the rösti adheres to the pan. When the potato is golden brown and the cheese has melted, your rösti is ready. Serve it hot with yogurt sauce and parsley.

Semmel burger with artichokes and Pecorino Toscano PDO



FacebookTwitterPinterestShare

Ingredients (2 people)

  • 2 Semmel rolls
  • 250 g of minced pork beef
  • 100 g of cooking cream
  • 50 g of grated aged Pecorino Toscano PDO
  • 1 artichoke
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 1 tbsp of mustard
  • Lettuce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Dice the onion and put it in a bowl with the pork beef. Add mustard, salt to taste, and a sprinkle of pepper, then mix all the ingredients. Let the meat rest in the fridge.

Put the cooking cream in a saucepan over low heat. When it has reduced by 1/3, add the Pecorino Toscano PDO and mix well.

Slice the artichoke into very thin strips and sauté them in a frying pan until they become crispy. Divide the meat into two balls and form the hamburgers. Cook them over medium heat (for 5-6 minutes per side if you like medium-cooked burgers).

Now, you can build your sandwiches: first of all, cut each Semmel roll into two halves and toast them in the pan where you cooked the meat. Put the lettuce on the roll base, place the hamburger on it, add some Pecorino Toscano cream to taste, and the crispy artichoke strips. Serve hot and enjoy!
