In Italian agricultural tradition, November is conventionally associated with St. Martin’s Day and the end of the farming working year. Giovanna Passeri Agriturismo e Scuola di Cucina can’t of course miss the chance to celebrate with a typical autumnal menù! Here’s just a taste of what you may enjoy, accompanied by good wine.

Cornmeal mush crouton with mustard cabbage salad

Pumpkin dumplings with butter and sage

Roasted goose on potato and juniper cream

Martin Sec pears in red wine with Moscato semifreddo

But also:

Pumpkin flan with parmesan sauce and fry(fritturina)

Goose meat sauce ravioli or leek and potato velvet sauce

Roasted goose with braised savoy cabbage or salty tart with radicchio and casera cheese

Seasonal fresh and dried fruit

For you to feel the atmosphere  surrounding  St. Martin’s Day, it’s a pleasure to report this poem entitled “San Martino”,  by the famous Italian writer Giosuè Carducci
