Silvia Colloca Instagram - Last night, after 23 years of not seeing him, I was able to finally give my mentor, my one true maestro @ranieri_official the hug that contained all the love and gratitude I have felt for him since 1999, when he changed my professional life  in Italy forever. I toured with him until 2001, trying to learn as much as I could.
He is a one of a kind performer. His voice powerful, precise as cut steel and warm like a hug with 23 years of longing. His stage presence captivating and mystifying at once (how does he do that???!!).
At 73 he has the vigor of a 35 year old man. A life dedicated to sharing his gift, to honing his craft. 
Ti voglio bene, Massimo!
Silvia Colloca Instagram - What a night!!
Here’s a little sneak peak of some behind the scenes as well as what unfolded on stage… truly magical! 
I’m still buzzing and I doubt the feeling will leave my body anytime soon. 
And to top it off, I’m still number 1 of the Core Classical Aria charts! 
Thank you for the love and support.❤️
Thank you Maestro @andreabocelliofficial for your generosity. 

And to @umusicau for making this happen!
So many highlights, including hanging with three supremely talented women @natalie_imbruglia @amy_manford @stacey.alleaume

Silvia Colloca Instagram - It’s apricot season and it’s time to jam! I enlisted the help of my dad to create the most velvety jam, perfumed with vanilla and lemon. Note to self… we should have made more…

Also… don’t be fooled by my dad understated ease in the kitchen… the man cannot cook to save his life, but he surely can remove seeds from stone fruit like there’s no tomorrow! 

Makes 4x250 ml jars

1.4kg of apricots (weight is with stone removed)\500 gr of caster sugar
1 large or 2 small lemons (juice and zest)
1 vanilla bean split in half to add to the pot

Cut the apricots into small chunks, place into a large, non reactive bowl with sugar, vanilla bean, lemon juice and strips of lemon zest (no white part). Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to macerate in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight (to intensify the flavors).
Place the macerated fruit along with the liquid into a large pot and bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat for 45-60 minutes, or until the jam has thickened slightly. You can skim off the foam that appears on the surface with a slotted spoon as the jam cooks. To make sure the jam is cooked, place a small plate in the freezer for 10 minutes. Take it out and spoon a little jam onto it. If it thickens, the jam is ready. Pour the hot jam into the hot sterilized jars, close firmly and tip the jars upside down to create a vacuum. Allow to cool down, then refrigerate. 
Ps
always make sure to use sterilized hard and lids. If you are reusing old jars, make sure you get new lids to create the vacuum seal that will preserve your jam safely.

Silvia Colloca Instagram - Easy peasy no knead ciabatta!
Simple as mixing flour and water together. No knead bread. Mix in the morning, bake at night (or other way around) 😘

Ingredients 

450 g (3-3/4 cups) 00 or All purpose flour
350 ml (1 -1/4 cups) filtered water, at room temperature
1/2 scant teaspoon dry yeast
2 teaspoons  of salt

How to 
1. Mix flour, water and yeast together with a wooden spoon until combined.

2. Add salt and mix again. Your mixture will look and feel quite sticky. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and let it prove for 10/14 hours, or until it’s grown three times bigger and looks bubbly. If you want to half the rising time, add more yeast , maybe 1 teaspoon or 1-1/2. 

3. Dust your cooking bench and your hands with flour and try to shape the sticky mix into a ball. Let it rest for 1/2 hour, covered in a kitchen towel generously dusted with semolina flour.

4. Turn the oven to 220 C (430 F).

5. Line an oven tray with baking paper 

6. Gently tip the risen dough in onto a tray lined with baking paper. Dust the top with extra flour and bake for 40 minutes or until dark golden and it sounds hollow when tapped. 
Cool on a rack before serving as the crumb needs to dry (if you cut it straight out of the oven, the crumb will be gummy)

Silvia Colloca Instagram - One of my favourite shots by @alan_benson_photographer for my latest book, ITALIAN FAMILY FOOD. Luna and Mabel captured in magical light, like characters from a quirky Wes Anderson movie. 
Mabel (canine) is showing the signs of that longing that only chocolate pudding (which Luna, human, is stoically carrying in a retro Tupperware mould) can inspire.

Silvia Colloca Instagram - I will never not be baking focaccia!
🇮🇹

Once a week is the minimum recommended. Get onto it!❤️ 

INGREDIENTS, makes 1 large focaccia

7 gr of dried yeast

3/4 cup lukewarm water

1 teaspoon of honey or sugar

320 gr (2-2/3 cups) 00 or plain flour

2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons of salt

For the glaze : 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of water.

HOW TO

In a large bowl dissolve  yeast with water, add  flour, oil and  honey or sugar. Knead for 5 minutes, then add the salt. Knead vigorously until it looks smooth and elastic (feel free to use an electric mixer with a dough hook). Shape into a ball and rest for 20 minutes in a bowl, covered with a tea towel.

Stretch it with your hand to form a rectangle and fold into 3 or 4. This step will give strength and texture to your dough and is essential in order to obtain a soft,  airy and chewy focaccia.

Place the folded dough in an oiled oven tray, cover it with a tea-towel and let it prove for around 90 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has risen, stretch it out to cover the tray and sprinkle the surface with sea salt.
7. Let it rest for another 30 minutes, then, using your fingertips, press the dough down onto the tray to create lots of little holes.

Drizzle the holes with the glaze and sprinkle with some more salt.
Let it rest for another 20 minutes then bake at 200C for 20-25 minutes or until golden and irresistible! 

Naturally #vegan.

Silvia Colloca Instagram - I found my love in Santa Margherita. 
Only a short 10 minute drive to the coveted Portofino, Santa Margherita has truly stolen my heart over the years. 
I have noticed that Sicily, The Amalfi coast and Puglia seem to be on everyone’s bucket list these days, and of course they are magical places. But the Ligurian coast is equally stunning, only 1 hour and 45 minutes away from Milan by car, and it offers just as much beauty, both in nature and in its glorious food. 
Grazie mille, Santa Margherita!

Silvia Colloca Instagram - I’m here for the buns, not the frosting. When I buy them, I scrape it off! When I bake them, all my love goes into making the softest dough! 

Ingredients

For the dough:
¾ cup buttermilk 
2 ¼ teaspoons active yeast 
¼ cup white sugar
1 large egg
¼ cup butter, melted 
3 cups bread flour or 00 flour plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon salt
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
For the filling:
2/3 cup dark brown sugar 
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
¼ cup butter, softened

1 beaten egg for brushing 

Place buttermilk into the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle yeast on top. Add in sugar, egg and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Add flour, zest and salt and mix gently with until a rough dough begins to form.

Place dough hook on stand mixer and knead on medium speed for 5-6 or until smooth and slightly sticky. If it feels too wet you can add a little extra flour, 1-2 tablespoons.
Transfer dough ball to a well-oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel. Allow dough to rise for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size.
After dough has doubled in size, transfer dough to a well-floured surface and roll out into a 40x30 cm rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top. 
Roll up the dough starting from the longer side side and place seam side down. Cut the log into 6-8 disks, depending how big you want them. 

Place cinnamon rolls in a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes. Wheat up your oven to 190c, static, and brush the rolls with beaten egg. Bake for 30 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown. Serve warm, as they are of with butter and jam!

Silvia Colloca Instagram - Ready for breakfast! 💕
1/2 tsp dried yeast
550 g tipo 00 flour
50 g finely-ground semolina (plus extra for dusting)
1 tsp salt
Method

(start this recipe the night before to allow the dough to prove overnight. The following day, allow for an additional 1-2 hours of proving time before baking)
Place 1.5 tsp of yeast and 500 ml (2 cups) lukewarm water in a jug and stir to dissolve. Leave for 5 minutes to activate.
Place 550 g plain flour and 50 g fine semolina in a large bowl. Add the yeasted water and mix to combine. Add 1 tsp salt and mix until roughly combined.
Cover with a cloth and allow to prove overnight at room temperature or until doubled in size. If it’s really hot, try to find a cooler spot in the house, otherwise, it will rise too fast and you’ll miss out on the fermented flavour. 
Lift the risen dough out of the bowl and onto a floured benchtop. Give it a quick knead to bring it together. Stretch into a rectangle, then fold the dough onto itself in a ball. Place the dough, seam-side down in a colander dusted with semolina. Cover with a cloth and stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until risen by two-thirds.
To test if the dough is ready, poke it gently with a finger. If the indent is deep and doesn’t spring back at all, it has risen too much. You can still bake it but handle it with care or it will deflate (and don’t score an over-proved dough). If it springs back straight away it needs a little longer. If the finger leaves a little indent but the dough almost completely springs back, then it’s ready to bake.
Sprinkle the top of the dough with semolina and slash with a knife (this will encourage the bread to bloom and cook). 
Preheat oven to 250°C fan-forced (270°C conventional).
Place the bread onto a tray lined with baking paper, then bake for 45-50 minutes until the crust turns to a dark caramel colour.
Remove from the oven, tip the bread onto a wire rack (removing the baking paper if still attached) and cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Resist the temptation to cut into the bread early: the crumb keeps cooking while the bread is cooling down and cutting into hot bread will interfere with this important step.

Silvia Colloca Instagram - Sick day calls for Italian penicillin, aka pastina in brodo. 
From my new book ITALIAN FAMILY FOOD.
 I can’t believe I waited 7 books to share this recipe!
Serves 4

1 brown onion, peeled and cut in half
3 celery stick, roughly chopped
2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
salt for seasoning

250 gr of baby pasta such as satellite, risoni, orzo or ditalini
a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil  and freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving

Place the vegetables in a medium sized pot and cover with 3 lt of water and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook  on low for 40 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Place the soft vegetables in the bowl of a food processor fitted with blades along with 1/2 a ladleful of the stock. Whizz until smooth then set aside. Bring the stock back to the boil, add your pastina of choice, stir and cook for 6-7 minutes or until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. By the time the pasta is cooked some of the liquid will be absorbed and you are left with with a thick soupy constancy. Add olive oil and parmesan to your liking, a tablespoon or two of the vegetable purée, and serve hot

We have been friends for years, but last year I had the honour of sharing some screen time with this beautiful man and wonderful actor on the movie @stingfilm . Needless to say it was joyous, in spite of a pesky arachnid trying to turn us all into a snack. 
Thanks for the cuddles and laughter, my friend!
The movie has already opened worldwide and it’s finally opened in Australia! If you are into classic, 80s inspired horror flicks, book your seats!
The movie stars the incomparable @alylabrowne , who gives yet another stellar performance. 
Thanks to Kiah Roache Turner for letting us play in your crazy movie, and big shout out to @wetaworkshop for creating a truly terrifying creature . 
Enjoy some BTS footage , wish I could post more but it’s way too graphic for here!! 😂😱 🕷️ 

Special mention to the incredible artists at @makeupeffectsgroup who were up with me at ungodly hours of the morning to glue all kinds of stuff on my face and body! Wish I could share more pictures of that, but it may ne too realistic and scary….

Silvia Colloca Instagram - Matera! ❤️ 
Add this magical town to your bucket list. In italy its known as La Città Dei Sassi, the stone city, as it’s entirely carved out of stone. It was only 60 years ago that local villagers resided in cave dwellings, with no electricity, and their animals to keep them warm in the harsh winter months. Some 30 years later UNESCO heritage listed this gem and proclaimed it Patrimonio dell’Umanitá , world heritage. What’s even more beautiful than the city itself is it’s villagers, the Lucani who embody the generous and convivial spirit of the Basilicata region with pride and humility. Go back one post to see some beautiful village life! And yes, Matera is NOT in Puglia! It’s in Basilicata!

Silvia Colloca Instagram - The most delicious, decadent and satisfying chocolate cake! None of the gluten and all of flavour! With hints of hazelnut and the boost of @illyinaustralia to make the chocolate more chocolat-ty!
@silviasitalianmasterclass @10playau @channel10au 

 150 gr of unsalted butter
160 gr of 70 % dark chocolate
45 gr of dutch cocoa powder
50 ml espresso coffee
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
200 gr of firmly packed brown sugar
4 eggs
120 gr of hazelnut meal
Pinch of salt
Serve with mascarpone and berries

1. Heat your oven to 160 C
2. Melt the butter with the chocolate in a double boiler
3. Pour the hot coffee into a bowl with the cocoa powder and whisk until there are no lumps. Add the
vanilla and mix. Add the cocoa mixture to the buttery melted chocolate and stir to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, cream the yolks with the sugar with a whisk or an electric beater until fluffy then pour
in the chocolate mixture. Add the hazelnut meal and stir to combine.
5. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. This will take about 1
minute if using a hand-held electric beater. A fair bit more if doing by hand...Gently fold the egg whites through the chocolate mixture using a large metal spoon. Pour the batter into a 20 cm round cake tin, lined with baking paper. Bake for 40/45 minutes or until the edges are firm and the surface it slightly cracked and feels soft in the middle.
6. Once cool it can be topped with strawberries, berries cherries, and mascarpone, cream or both!

All the tips and tricks to perfect your Italian cooking skills! 
❤️ 🇮🇹
Silvia Colloca Instagram - With my parents enjoying their last few days down under, yesterday we went to visit our long lost Abruzzese cousins. When I moved to Australia I was determined to find this part of the family that we thought we had lost. I put up a post on Facebook telling the story of my Nonno’s sister, Adele, who tragically died in Lama dei Peligni during the war, when the village was bombed and she lost her life along three of her five children. Her two surviving boys fled Italy and re built a life here. This is where my Nonno’s nephew married the formidable Angela Maria. Someone saw the post and connected me with Maria’s daughter Adele. We met (she surprised me at a book singing event) and the second we looked at each other we knew we were family. 
Yesterday we all sat down and reminisced about Abruzzo, our relatives and connection , five generations of Italian women (my daughter Luna was also with us). And of course there was glorious food. This sumptuous Abruzzese cake is called fiadone. It’s rich, not overly sweet and quite bold, very much embodying the spirit of Abruzzese people “forte e gentile” (strong and kind). 
It’s a labour of love and it’s not lost on us that Maria, 90 years young, gifted us with this treat. 
I have shared this recipe before, if you are curious a quick google search will direct you, and if you have my book Made in Italy, you can read it there. 
💕🇮🇹
Silvia Colloca Instagram - If you have Abruzzeze blood you may be familiar with Pupe di Pasqua, Easter dolls made of a soft cookie dough. My nonna used to craft one to each of her grandchildren when we were growing up, my sister Ale, my cousin Elena and I would receive a peasant girl and the boys a horse shaped one. It was a moment of utter joy to tear the foil that enwrapped them, and we would always make sure we’d arm ourselves with a tall glass of cold milk to dunk our giant cookie in. The head was always the first to go, and we happily dunked, slurped and munched, blissfully unaware that we were receiving the gift of legacy, memory and tradition. 
Nonna Irene didn’t have measurements, it was all done “a occhio” , her eyes the only instrument of precision. I don’t have precise rules either, but if you want to try this, mix 2 eggs with about 70-80 gr of caster sugar, zest of 1 lemon, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, about 100 ml of milk and enough flour to create a soft pliable dough, not too firm, not tacky. You can add a little baking powder too, about 1/2 tablespoons.Then shape as you please, brush with egg and bake until golden. The doll pictured here is about 25 cm tall! Consume with your coffee or with milk. It begs to be dunked. 
Happy Easter! Buona Pasqua! 🐣 .

Silvia Colloca Instagram - Publication day!!!
My 7th book, ITALIAN FAMILY FOOD is out in all bookstores and online! 
Thanks a million to those who pre ordered and have already started cooking from it!
To celebrate, here is a lovely recipe of Bolognese stuffed zucchini for you!
My zucchini-hating son has now started loving them because of this recipe! 😂💕

Serves 4
 
4–5 zucchini
freshly grated pecorino, to serve
3/4 cup bocconcini

Bolognese sauce

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 garlic clove, skin on, bashed with the back of a knife
500 g pork and veal mince 
200 ml red wine
400 g can chopped tomatoes
500 ml (2 cups) good-quality beef or chicken stock
1–2 bay leaves
salt flakes and freshly ground white pepper
 
To make the bolognese sauce, heat the olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent. Drop in the pork and beef mince and brown over high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up any lumps as you go.
Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any bits caught on the base, and simmer away until the alcohol has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and stock, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Add the bay leaves, season with salt and cook, covered, for 4–6 hours, stirring occasionally, until rich and slightly reduced. If the ragù starts to dry out, add a little water. Taste for salt and adjust accordingly, and season with pepper.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthways. Using a spoon, hollow out the flesh without cutting through to the base. Reserve the zucchini flesh for a later use (great in soups!).
Fill the hollowed-out zucchini halves with the bolognese sauce, sprinkle with the pecorino and arrange on the tray. Bake for 25–30 minutes, then scatter the bocconcini on top and bake for a further 5–10 minutes until golden and delicious.

Thank you to my glorious team at @panmacmillan for making this happen!

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthways. Using a spoon, hollow out the flesh without cutting through to the base. Reserve the zucchini flesh for a later use (great in soups!).
Fill the hollowed-out zucchini halves with the bolognese sauce, sprinkle with the pecorino and arrange on the tray. Bake for 25–30 minutes, then scatter the bocconcini on top and bake for a further 5–10 minutes until golden and delicious.

Thank you to my glorious team at @panmacmillan for making this happen!

Silvia Colloca Instagram - Think eggplant parmigiana, but a lot easier and phenomenal in flavour! 
Hassleback Eggplant Parmigiana

From my new show @silviasitalianmasterclass 
Ingredients

2 large aubergines
600 ml of passata
200g @floridiacheese casalingo -or your melty cheese of choice) sliced into 1 pieces
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
¼ cup (60ml) of extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper for seasoning
fresh basil, leaves picked to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C. Cut lengthways slits into the aubergines about 1cm apart, leaving the stalk attached and taking care not to cut right down to the bottom  OR Pre heat your @oonihq pizza oven to 250C 
Cut lengthways slits into the eggplants about 1cm apart, leaving the stalk attached and taking care not to cut right down to the bottom
Arrange the fanned eggplant into a large roasting tin or ovenproof dish and season. Drizzle with half of the oil and bake for 20 minutes in a traditional oven, and 15 minutes in a pizza oven. 
Take the tray out of the oven, place mozzarella in between eggplant slices, cover with passata, season to your liking, top with breadcrumbs and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until melty and golden brown. This will only take 5-6 in a pizza oven. 
Serve with bread and basil leaves.

#maltyogurt
Silvia Colloca Instagram - Súper quick and incredibly delicious bread, if you feel like baking, but don’t have time to prove dough overnight. Xxx

Yogurt and olive oil filone (loaf)

500 gr all purpose or 00 flour
200 gr unsweetened Greek yogurt
200 ml water
7 gr of dry yeast 
1-1/2 tablespoon sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil 
 Place flour, water, dry yeast oil and yogurt in a large bowl. Mix until just combined then add salt and mix through. Cover with a damp tea towel and let it rise at room temperature for 1 hour. The dough will look puffier and more relaxed, stretch it a little with wet hands (still in the bowl, no mess) and fold it onto itself in a bowl. Cover and repeat the stretching and folding one more time after 30 minutes. Cover again and allow to prove completely until more than doubled in size (about 45 minutes). Flour your bench and hands and stretch the dough into a rectangle, it will feel a little soft, then roll it up like a big cigar. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, flour the top and prove for 30 minutes. In that time bring your oven to 220 C and place an empty metal bowl or empty oven tray on the lower rack. 
The dough will now look puffy. Dust more flour on top, score and place in the oven, on the middle rack. Pour in some water on the lower oven tray or metal bowl you’ve been preheating to create steam. Close door and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before serving as the crumb keeps baking and settling in the cooling time. 
🥖❤️

Silvia Colloca Instagram - Just my favourite tea cake, Marbled Ciambellone 
INGREDIENTS:

3 eggs

200 gr (1 cup) of caster sugar

250 gr (2 and 1/3 cups) of self-raising flour

2 tablespoons of corn starch

60 ml (1/4 cup) of grape seed oil (or lightly scented olive oil)

125 gr (1/2 cup) of Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Melted chocolate for serving (optional)

How To

1. Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and creamy.

2. Add the oil , Greek youghurt and the vanilla

3. Gently fold in the flour and the corn starch, well sifted. Mix until the batter is combined.

4. Pour 2/3 of the mix into a ring-cake tin (I used a silicon one so I didn’t have to grease it.). 5. Add 3 tablespoons of bitter cocoa to the remaining cake batter and mix until smooth.

6. Dollop the cocoa mix on top of the vanilla mix and , using a fork or a chopstick, swirl the two batters together.

7. Bake in a preheated 170 C (340 F) oven for about 40/45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Let the cake cool in its tin for about one hour before serving, drizzled with melted chocolate, if liked.

Richard and I spent some time with local wood artist @artepastoralematera and watched him carve some beautiful bread stamps for me, then joined him to hang with his mates in the piazza. Mario played guitar and I accompanied him with some singing. Spontaneous, imperfect and yet so unbelievably perfect!

Silvia Colloca Instagram - The most loved Italian biscuits: biscotti!
Crunchy, nutty, sweet… perfect for dunking!
Made with beautiful @mulinocaputo flour and Colavita olive oil, distributed in Australia by the amazing Basile family, long time collaborator of mine @basile_imports 

Lemon and Almond Twice Baked Tuscan Biscotti
Ingredients

2 eggs
3 egg yolks
350 g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
450 g self-raising flour, sifted (or plain flour mixed with 1 tablespoon of baking powder)
1 tbs baking powder 
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
pinch of salt flakes
finely grated zest of 2 lemons
200 g blanched almonds
Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Place the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat until pale and creamy. Add the flour,baking powder  oil, salt and lemon zest and then the nuts. Shape the dough with floured hands to form two logs. Place the logs on the prepared tray, spaced well apart to allow for spreading, and bake for 25–30 minutes or until well risen and pale golden. 
Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for 3–5 minutes, then cut them on an angle into 1–1.5 cm thick slices. Make sure you use a very sharp serrated knife to ensure neat slices. You will notice than the inside of the biscuits are still a little wet – this is fine. 
Arrange the slices on the lined tray and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Turn them over and toast for a further 15 minutes or until crisp and golden. Cool at room temperature, then serve with gelato, coffee or your favourite dessert wine. Any leftover tozzetti will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Silvia Colloca Instagram - Just a reminder that you can make any day a bit better with pasta.
This is my broken lasagne with lamb ragú 
Ingredients

60 ml (¼ cup) extra-virgin olive oil
3-4 garlic cloves, bashed
3-4 lamb forequarter chops (see Note)
200 ml red wine
2 400 ml cans chopped tomatoes
¼ red capsicum
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
400 g lasagne sheets, broken into irregular pieces
grated pecorino, to serve
1. For the lamb ragú, heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Add the lamb chops and cook until browned all over. Add the red wine and simmer over high heat for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Add the tinned tomatoes, capsicum and 800 ml water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally for 3–4 hours or the until meat falls off the bone. Nonna would lift out the meat and reserve it for another meal. You can do that too or simply remove it from the pan to shred and get rid of any tiny bones and then add it back to the sauce. Remove and discard the capsicum, then season to taste.

2. Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Drop in the broken lasagne pieces, stir and cook for 5-6 minutes or until al dente. Remove with a slotted spoon straight into the pan with the sauce, dragging along a little pasta cooking water, then toss well. Bring to the table and serve with freshly grated pecorino.

This song, Honesty, is part of his latest album and I loved singing it with him at all the shows. A song about friendship, those late night, kitchen sink conversations about life, love hope, the unexpected magic in the domestic. 
The tour is finished,  @matteobocelli has now left and is embarking on a world tour and I’m so humbled to have been a small part of his journey into making his own mark in the music industry with his velvety voice, unguarded smile and signature Tuscan joviality.

Silvia Colloca Instagram - Anything goes… 🇮🇹💕
Silvia Colloca Instagram - This beautiful australian film is currently streaming on Binge. If you missed it at the movies, I would love you to watch it. Captivating performances by the great Robert Menzies and Mark Leonard Winter playing two men facing generational trauma, in desperate need of connection, with the background of the uplifting influence of Italian immigration. Fabio Motta plays my brother and he’s a gem! Written by Aaron Wilson (who also directed) and Christos Tsiolkas.

Here is the recipe for the chicken scaloppine with capers with cannellini bean mash!
Something I make for my family often and with little effort.
Special thanks to @inghamsaustralia for providing the most succulent chicken and to @basile_imports , who are the distributors for Capriccio beans. 

This meal is now ready for ordering frozen from @providoor 

Have a fabulous weekend!
Silvia 

● 2 Chicken breasts pounded to 1⁄2 cm and then halved
●1⁄4 cup (60ml) extra-virgin olive oil
● 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
gf flour
● salt and pepper for seasoning
● zest and juice of 2 lemons
● 3 tablespoons baby capers in vinegar, drained, rinsed

Cannellini mash
● 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
●2 shallots , thinly sliced
● 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
● 2x 400 gr cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1. To make the cannellini mash, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add the shallot and garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the cannellini beans and cook for 3–4 minutes, adding 1–2 tablespoons of water, if needed. Season to taste. Blitz the mixture in a food processor until smooth, add a little water if it is too stiff. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Dredge the chicken in flour and shake off the excess. Heat up the oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat, add the chicken, season with salt, pepper, add capers and sear on both sides for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Pour in the lemon juice and the remaining butter and cook over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce is thick. Serve the chicken with the mash and enjoy!

Silvia Colloca - 6.1K Likes - Last night, after 23 years of not seeing him, I was able to finally give my mentor, my one true maestro @ranieri_official the hug that contained all the love and gratitude I have felt for him since 1999, when he changed my professional life  in Italy forever. I toured with him until 2001, trying to learn as much as I could.
He is a one of a kind performer. His voice powerful, precise as cut steel and warm like a hug with 23 years of longing. His stage presence captivating and mystifying at once (how does he do that???!!).
At 73 he has the vigor of a 35 year old man. A life dedicated to sharing his gift, to honing his craft. 
Ti voglio bene, Massimo!

Silvia Colloca - 2.2K Likes - It’s apricot season and it’s time to jam! I enlisted the help of my dad to create the most velvety jam, perfumed with vanilla and lemon. Note to self… we should have made more…

Also… don’t be fooled by my dad understated ease in the kitchen… the man cannot cook to save his life, but he surely can remove seeds from stone fruit like there’s no tomorrow! 

Makes 4x250 ml jars

1.4kg of apricots (weight is with stone removed)\500 gr of caster sugar
1 large or 2 small lemons (juice and zest)
1 vanilla bean split in half to add to the pot

Cut the apricots into small chunks, place into a large, non reactive bowl with sugar, vanilla bean, lemon juice and strips of lemon zest (no white part). Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to macerate in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight (to intensify the flavors).
Place the macerated fruit along with the liquid into a large pot and bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat for 45-60 minutes, or until the jam has thickened slightly. You can skim off the foam that appears on the surface with a slotted spoon as the jam cooks. To make sure the jam is cooked, place a small plate in the freezer for 10 minutes. Take it out and spoon a little jam onto it. If it thickens, the jam is ready. Pour the hot jam into the hot sterilized jars, close firmly and tip the jars upside down to create a vacuum. Allow to cool down, then refrigerate. 
Ps
always make sure to use sterilized hard and lids. If you are reusing old jars, make sure you get new lids to create the vacuum seal that will preserve your jam safely.

Silvia Colloca - 1.9K Likes - Easy peasy no knead ciabatta!
Simple as mixing flour and water together. No knead bread. Mix in the morning, bake at night (or other way around) 😘

Ingredients 

450 g (3-3/4 cups) 00 or All purpose flour
350 ml (1 -1/4 cups) filtered water, at room temperature
1/2 scant teaspoon dry yeast
2 teaspoons  of salt

How to 
1. Mix flour, water and yeast together with a wooden spoon until combined.

2. Add salt and mix again. Your mixture will look and feel quite sticky. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and let it prove for 10/14 hours, or until it’s grown three times bigger and looks bubbly. If you want to half the rising time, add more yeast , maybe 1 teaspoon or 1-1/2. 

3. Dust your cooking bench and your hands with flour and try to shape the sticky mix into a ball. Let it rest for 1/2 hour, covered in a kitchen towel generously dusted with semolina flour.

4. Turn the oven to 220 C (430 F).

5. Line an oven tray with baking paper 

6. Gently tip the risen dough in onto a tray lined with baking paper. Dust the top with extra flour and bake for 40 minutes or until dark golden and it sounds hollow when tapped. 
Cool on a rack before serving as the crumb needs to dry (if you cut it straight out of the oven, the crumb will be gummy)

Mabel (canine) is showing the signs of that longing that only chocolate pudding (which Luna, human, is stoically carrying in a retro Tupperware mould) can inspire.

Silvia Colloca - 1.7K Likes - I will never not be baking focaccia!
🇮🇹

Once a week is the minimum recommended. Get onto it!❤️ 

INGREDIENTS, makes 1 large focaccia

7 gr of dried yeast

3/4 cup lukewarm water

1 teaspoon of honey or sugar

320 gr (2-2/3 cups) 00 or plain flour

2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons of salt

For the glaze : 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of water.

HOW TO

In a large bowl dissolve  yeast with water, add  flour, oil and  honey or sugar. Knead for 5 minutes, then add the salt. Knead vigorously until it looks smooth and elastic (feel free to use an electric mixer with a dough hook). Shape into a ball and rest for 20 minutes in a bowl, covered with a tea towel.

Stretch it with your hand to form a rectangle and fold into 3 or 4. This step will give strength and texture to your dough and is essential in order to obtain a soft,  airy and chewy focaccia.

Place the folded dough in an oiled oven tray, cover it with a tea-towel and let it prove for around 90 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has risen, stretch it out to cover the tray and sprinkle the surface with sea salt.
7. Let it rest for another 30 minutes, then, using your fingertips, press the dough down onto the tray to create lots of little holes.

Drizzle the holes with the glaze and sprinkle with some more salt.
Let it rest for another 20 minutes then bake at 200C for 20-25 minutes or until golden and irresistible! 

Naturally #vegan.

Silvia Colloca - 1.5K Likes - I found my love in Santa Margherita. 
Only a short 10 minute drive to the coveted Portofino, Santa Margherita has truly stolen my heart over the years. 
I have noticed that Sicily, The Amalfi coast and Puglia seem to be on everyone’s bucket list these days, and of course they are magical places. But the Ligurian coast is equally stunning, only 1 hour and 45 minutes away from Milan by car, and it offers just as much beauty, both in nature and in its glorious food. 
Grazie mille, Santa Margherita!

Silvia Colloca - 1.4K Likes - I’m here for the buns, not the frosting. When I buy them, I scrape it off! When I bake them, all my love goes into making the softest dough! 

Ingredients

For the dough:
¾ cup buttermilk 
2 ¼ teaspoons active yeast 
¼ cup white sugar
1 large egg
¼ cup butter, melted 
3 cups bread flour or 00 flour plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon salt
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
For the filling:
2/3 cup dark brown sugar 
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
¼ cup butter, softened

1 beaten egg for brushing 

Place buttermilk into the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle yeast on top. Add in sugar, egg and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Add flour, zest and salt and mix gently with until a rough dough begins to form.

Place dough hook on stand mixer and knead on medium speed for 5-6 or until smooth and slightly sticky. If it feels too wet you can add a little extra flour, 1-2 tablespoons.
Transfer dough ball to a well-oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel. Allow dough to rise for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size.
After dough has doubled in size, transfer dough to a well-floured surface and roll out into a 40x30 cm rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top. 
Roll up the dough starting from the longer side side and place seam side down. Cut the log into 6-8 disks, depending how big you want them. 

Place cinnamon rolls in a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes. Wheat up your oven to 190c, static, and brush the rolls with beaten egg. Bake for 30 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown. Serve warm, as they are of with butter and jam!

Ingredients

3 eggs
180 gr  caster sugar
200 gr  self-raising flour
65 gr  almond meal
60 ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup (125ml) Buttermilk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 tablespoons of dark cocoa
50 ml of espresso (replace with same amount of warm milk or water if coffee is not your vibe)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease a loaf tin. 
Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and creamy.
Add the oil, buttermilk and the vanilla.
Gently fold in the flour, well sifted. Mix until the batter is combined, then add almond meal and mix to combine.
Pour 1/2 of the mix into one bowl and the other half into another bowl along with the cocoa powder and espresso.

Silvia Colloca - 1.3K Likes - Ready for breakfast! 💕
1/2 tsp dried yeast
550 g tipo 00 flour
50 g finely-ground semolina (plus extra for dusting)
1 tsp salt
Method

(start this recipe the night before to allow the dough to prove overnight. The following day, allow for an additional 1-2 hours of proving time before baking)
Place 1.5 tsp of yeast and 500 ml (2 cups) lukewarm water in a jug and stir to dissolve. Leave for 5 minutes to activate.
Place 550 g plain flour and 50 g fine semolina in a large bowl. Add the yeasted water and mix to combine. Add 1 tsp salt and mix until roughly combined.
Cover with a cloth and allow to prove overnight at room temperature or until doubled in size. If it’s really hot, try to find a cooler spot in the house, otherwise, it will rise too fast and you’ll miss out on the fermented flavour. 
Lift the risen dough out of the bowl and onto a floured benchtop. Give it a quick knead to bring it together. Stretch into a rectangle, then fold the dough onto itself in a ball. Place the dough, seam-side down in a colander dusted with semolina. Cover with a cloth and stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until risen by two-thirds.
To test if the dough is ready, poke it gently with a finger. If the indent is deep and doesn’t spring back at all, it has risen too much. You can still bake it but handle it with care or it will deflate (and don’t score an over-proved dough). If it springs back straight away it needs a little longer. If the finger leaves a little indent but the dough almost completely springs back, then it’s ready to bake.
Sprinkle the top of the dough with semolina and slash with a knife (this will encourage the bread to bloom and cook). 
Preheat oven to 250°C fan-forced (270°C conventional).
Place the bread onto a tray lined with baking paper, then bake for 45-50 minutes until the crust turns to a dark caramel colour.
Remove from the oven, tip the bread onto a wire rack (removing the baking paper if still attached) and cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Resist the temptation to cut into the bread early: the crumb keeps cooking while the bread is cooling down and cutting into hot bread will interfere with this important step.

Silvia Colloca - 1.2K Likes - Sick day calls for Italian penicillin, aka pastina in brodo. 
From my new book ITALIAN FAMILY FOOD.
 I can’t believe I waited 7 books to share this recipe!
Serves 4

1 brown onion, peeled and cut in half
3 celery stick, roughly chopped
2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
salt for seasoning

250 gr of baby pasta such as satellite, risoni, orzo or ditalini
a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil  and freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving

Place the vegetables in a medium sized pot and cover with 3 lt of water and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook  on low for 40 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Place the soft vegetables in the bowl of a food processor fitted with blades along with 1/2 a ladleful of the stock. Whizz until smooth then set aside. Bring the stock back to the boil, add your pastina of choice, stir and cook for 6-7 minutes or until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. By the time the pasta is cooked some of the liquid will be absorbed and you are left with with a thick soupy constancy. Add olive oil and parmesan to your liking, a tablespoon or two of the vegetable purée, and serve hot

We have been friends for years, but last year I had the honour of sharing some screen time with this beautiful man and wonderful actor on the movie @stingfilm . Needless to say it was joyous, in spite of a pesky arachnid trying to turn us all into a snack. 
Thanks for the cuddles and laughter, my friend!
The movie has already opened worldwide and it’s finally opened in Australia! If you are into classic, 80s inspired horror flicks, book your seats!
The movie stars the incomparable @alylabrowne , who gives yet another stellar performance. 
Thanks to Kiah Roache Turner for letting us play in your crazy movie, and big shout out to @wetaworkshop for creating a truly terrifying creature . 
Enjoy some BTS footage , wish I could post more but it’s way too graphic for here!! 😂😱 🕷️ 

Special mention to the incredible artists at @makeupeffectsgroup who were up with me at ungodly hours of the morning to glue all kinds of stuff on my face and body! Wish I could share more pictures of that, but it may ne too realistic and scary….

@jamiehilton1 gets the crown as best producer ever!
Go team!

Silvia Colloca - 1.2K Likes - Matera! ❤️ 
Add this magical town to your bucket list. In italy its known as La Città Dei Sassi, the stone city, as it’s entirely carved out of stone. It was only 60 years ago that local villagers resided in cave dwellings, with no electricity, and their animals to keep them warm in the harsh winter months. Some 30 years later UNESCO heritage listed this gem and proclaimed it Patrimonio dell’Umanitá , world heritage. What’s even more beautiful than the city itself is it’s villagers, the Lucani who embody the generous and convivial spirit of the Basilicata region with pride and humility. Go back one post to see some beautiful village life! And yes, Matera is NOT in Puglia! It’s in Basilicata!

Silvia Colloca - 1.2K Likes - The most delicious, decadent and satisfying chocolate cake! None of the gluten and all of flavour! With hints of hazelnut and the boost of @illyinaustralia to make the chocolate more chocolat-ty!
@silviasitalianmasterclass @10playau @channel10au 

 150 gr of unsalted butter
160 gr of 70 % dark chocolate
45 gr of dutch cocoa powder
50 ml espresso coffee
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
200 gr of firmly packed brown sugar
4 eggs
120 gr of hazelnut meal
Pinch of salt
Serve with mascarpone and berries

1. Heat your oven to 160 C
2. Melt the butter with the chocolate in a double boiler
3. Pour the hot coffee into a bowl with the cocoa powder and whisk until there are no lumps. Add the
vanilla and mix. Add the cocoa mixture to the buttery melted chocolate and stir to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, cream the yolks with the sugar with a whisk or an electric beater until fluffy then pour
in the chocolate mixture. Add the hazelnut meal and stir to combine.
5. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. This will take about 1
minute if using a hand-held electric beater. A fair bit more if doing by hand...Gently fold the egg whites through the chocolate mixture using a large metal spoon. Pour the batter into a 20 cm round cake tin, lined with baking paper. Bake for 40/45 minutes or until the edges are firm and the surface it slightly cracked and feels soft in the middle.
6. Once cool it can be topped with strawberries, berries cherries, and mascarpone, cream or both!

Italian Style Espresso Hot Chocolate with Almond Cookies
Ingredients

For the hot chocolate 

Serves 2

2 tbs Dutch cocoa powder 
80 g (1/3 cup) caster sugar
2 scant tablespoons cornflour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
500 ml (2 cups) milk
2 shots of freshly brewed espresso coffee
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips 

Method

Combine the cocoa, caster sugar, cornflour, vanilla  in a small saucepan.

Pour in 3 tablespoons of the milk and whisk until the mixture turns into a sticky, dark brown paste. Slowly add the rest of the milk, whisking enthusiastically as you go to prevent any lumps from forming. Add the espresso shots and stir through.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula. Reduce the heat to low, add the chocolate chips and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes or until the hot chocolate starts to thicken. Turn off the heat, serve hot.

For the almond cookies

makes 18

2 egg whites, at room temperature
170 g caster sugar, plus extra for rolling the cookies in
300 g almond meal
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or paste
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
18 blanched almonds
Method

Preheat your oven to 160°C fan forced, 180 C conventional

Place almond meal in a large bowl, add vanilla, lemon zest and egg whites and mix with your hands to form a paste.

Shape the paste into balls, roll them in the sugar, then gently push your thumb into the middle of each ball and top with a blanched almond 

Place the cookies in a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the base of the amaretti looks firm and slightly golden.

Cool them on a rack for at least 10 minutes before eating

Silvia Colloca - 1K Likes - With my parents enjoying their last few days down under, yesterday we went to visit our long lost Abruzzese cousins. When I moved to Australia I was determined to find this part of the family that we thought we had lost. I put up a post on Facebook telling the story of my Nonno’s sister, Adele, who tragically died in Lama dei Peligni during the war, when the village was bombed and she lost her life along three of her five children. Her two surviving boys fled Italy and re built a life here. This is where my Nonno’s nephew married the formidable Angela Maria. Someone saw the post and connected me with Maria’s daughter Adele. We met (she surprised me at a book singing event) and the second we looked at each other we knew we were family. 
Yesterday we all sat down and reminisced about Abruzzo, our relatives and connection , five generations of Italian women (my daughter Luna was also with us). And of course there was glorious food. This sumptuous Abruzzese cake is called fiadone. It’s rich, not overly sweet and quite bold, very much embodying the spirit of Abruzzese people “forte e gentile” (strong and kind). 
It’s a labour of love and it’s not lost on us that Maria, 90 years young, gifted us with this treat. 
I have shared this recipe before, if you are curious a quick google search will direct you, and if you have my book Made in Italy, you can read it there.

Silvia Colloca - 1K Likes - If you have Abruzzeze blood you may be familiar with Pupe di Pasqua, Easter dolls made of a soft cookie dough. My nonna used to craft one to each of her grandchildren when we were growing up, my sister Ale, my cousin Elena and I would receive a peasant girl and the boys a horse shaped one. It was a moment of utter joy to tear the foil that enwrapped them, and we would always make sure we’d arm ourselves with a tall glass of cold milk to dunk our giant cookie in. The head was always the first to go, and we happily dunked, slurped and munched, blissfully unaware that we were receiving the gift of legacy, memory and tradition. 
Nonna Irene didn’t have measurements, it was all done “a occhio” , her eyes the only instrument of precision. I don’t have precise rules either, but if you want to try this, mix 2 eggs with about 70-80 gr of caster sugar, zest of 1 lemon, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, about 100 ml of milk and enough flour to create a soft pliable dough, not too firm, not tacky. You can add a little baking powder too, about 1/2 tablespoons.Then shape as you please, brush with egg and bake until golden. The doll pictured here is about 25 cm tall! Consume with your coffee or with milk. It begs to be dunked. 
Happy Easter! Buona Pasqua! 🐣 .

My 7th book, ITALIAN FAMILY FOOD is out in all bookstores and online! 
Thanks a million to those who pre ordered and have already started cooking from it!
To celebrate, here is a lovely recipe of Bolognese stuffed zucchini for you!
My zucchini-hating son has now started loving them because of this recipe! 😂💕

Serves 4
 
4–5 zucchini
freshly grated pecorino, to serve
3/4 cup bocconcini

Bolognese sauce

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 garlic clove, skin on, bashed with the back of a knife
500 g pork and veal mince 
200 ml red wine
400 g can chopped tomatoes
500 ml (2 cups) good-quality beef or chicken stock
1–2 bay leaves
salt flakes and freshly ground white pepper
 
To make the bolognese sauce, heat the olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent. Drop in the pork and beef mince and brown over high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up any lumps as you go.
Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any bits caught on the base, and simmer away until the alcohol has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and stock, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Add the bay leaves, season with salt and cook, covered, for 4–6 hours, stirring occasionally, until rich and slightly reduced. If the ragù starts to dry out, add a little water. Taste for salt and adjust accordingly, and season with pepper.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthways. Using a spoon, hollow out the flesh without cutting through to the base. Reserve the zucchini flesh for a later use (great in soups!).
Fill the hollowed-out zucchini halves with the bolognese sauce, sprinkle with the pecorino and arrange on the tray. Bake for 25–30 minutes, then scatter the bocconcini on top and bake for a further 5–10 minutes until golden and delicious.

Thank you to my glorious team at @panmacmillan for making this happen!

Hassleback Eggplant Parmigiana

From my new show @silviasitalianmasterclass 
Ingredients

2 large aubergines
600 ml of passata
200g @floridiacheese casalingo -or your melty cheese of choice) sliced into 1 pieces
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
¼ cup (60ml) of extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper for seasoning
fresh basil, leaves picked to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C. Cut lengthways slits into the aubergines about 1cm apart, leaving the stalk attached and taking care not to cut right down to the bottom  OR Pre heat your @oonihq pizza oven to 250C 
Cut lengthways slits into the eggplants about 1cm apart, leaving the stalk attached and taking care not to cut right down to the bottom
Arrange the fanned eggplant into a large roasting tin or ovenproof dish and season. Drizzle with half of the oil and bake for 20 minutes in a traditional oven, and 15 minutes in a pizza oven. 
Take the tray out of the oven, place mozzarella in between eggplant slices, cover with passata, season to your liking, top with breadcrumbs and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until melty and golden brown. This will only take 5-6 in a pizza oven.

Oil an oven safe dish, add the cherry tomatoes and their juices, olives, capers, garlic, wine and half  of the oil. Add thyme leaves, bread chunks and season with salt. Place chicken on top, season with salt and pepper and drizzle some of the liquid onto it. 
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy golden on top, the cooking time will be dependent on the size of your chicken, so keep an eye on it. Take the tray out of the oven, scatter more thyme leaves on top, drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil and a little balsamic vinegar and serve.

Silvia Colloca - 0.9K Likes - Súper quick and incredibly delicious bread, if you feel like baking, but don’t have time to prove dough overnight. Xxx

Yogurt and olive oil filone (loaf)

500 gr all purpose or 00 flour
200 gr unsweetened Greek yogurt
200 ml water
7 gr of dry yeast 
1-1/2 tablespoon sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil 
 Place flour, water, dry yeast oil and yogurt in a large bowl. Mix until just combined then add salt and mix through. Cover with a damp tea towel and let it rise at room temperature for 1 hour. The dough will look puffier and more relaxed, stretch it a little with wet hands (still in the bowl, no mess) and fold it onto itself in a bowl. Cover and repeat the stretching and folding one more time after 30 minutes. Cover again and allow to prove completely until more than doubled in size (about 45 minutes). Flour your bench and hands and stretch the dough into a rectangle, it will feel a little soft, then roll it up like a big cigar. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, flour the top and prove for 30 minutes. In that time bring your oven to 220 C and place an empty metal bowl or empty oven tray on the lower rack. 
The dough will now look puffy. Dust more flour on top, score and place in the oven, on the middle rack. Pour in some water on the lower oven tray or metal bowl you’ve been preheating to create steam. Close door and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before serving as the crumb keeps baking and settling in the cooling time. 
🥖❤️
Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

3 eggs

200 gr (1 cup) of caster sugar

250 gr (2 and 1/3 cups) of self-raising flour

2 tablespoons of corn starch

60 ml (1/4 cup) of grape seed oil (or lightly scented olive oil)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Melted chocolate for serving (optional)

How To

2. Add the oil , Greek youghurt and the vanilla

3. Gently fold in the flour and the corn starch, well sifted. Mix until the batter is combined.

4. Pour 2/3 of the mix into a ring-cake tin (I used a silicon one so I didn’t have to grease it.). 5. Add 3 tablespoons of bitter cocoa to the remaining cake batter and mix until smooth.

6. Dollop the cocoa mix on top of the vanilla mix and , using a fork or a chopstick, swirl the two batters together.

7. Bake in a preheated 170 C (340 F) oven for about 40/45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Let the cake cool in its tin for about one hour before serving, drizzled with melted chocolate, if liked.

Richard and I spent some time with local wood artist @artepastoralematera and watched him carve some beautiful bread stamps for me, then joined him to hang with his mates in the piazza. Mario played guitar and I accompanied him with some singing. Spontaneous, imperfect and yet so unbelievably perfect!

Crunchy, nutty, sweet… perfect for dunking!
Made with beautiful @mulinocaputo flour and Colavita olive oil, distributed in Australia by the amazing Basile family, long time collaborator of mine @basile_imports 

Lemon and Almond Twice Baked Tuscan Biscotti
Ingredients

2 eggs
3 egg yolks
350 g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
450 g self-raising flour, sifted (or plain flour mixed with 1 tablespoon of baking powder)
1 tbs baking powder 
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
pinch of salt flakes
finely grated zest of 2 lemons
200 g blanched almonds
Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Place the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat until pale and creamy. Add the flour,baking powder  oil, salt and lemon zest and then the nuts. Shape the dough with floured hands to form two logs. Place the logs on the prepared tray, spaced well apart to allow for spreading, and bake for 25–30 minutes or until well risen and pale golden. 
Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for 3–5 minutes, then cut them on an angle into 1–1.5 cm thick slices. Make sure you use a very sharp serrated knife to ensure neat slices. You will notice than the inside of the biscuits are still a little wet – this is fine. 
Arrange the slices on the lined tray and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Turn them over and toast for a further 15 minutes or until crisp and golden. Cool at room temperature, then serve with gelato, coffee or your favourite dessert wine. Any leftover tozzetti will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

1 tbs baking powder 
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
pinch of salt flakes
finely grated zest of 2 lemons
200 g blanched almonds
Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Place the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat until pale and creamy. Add the flour,baking powder  oil, salt and lemon zest and then the nuts. Shape the dough with floured hands to form two logs. Place the logs on the prepared tray, spaced well apart to allow for spreading, and bake for 25–30 minutes or until well risen and pale golden. 
Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for 3–5 minutes, then cut them on an angle into 1–1.5 cm thick slices. Make sure you use a very sharp serrated knife to ensure neat slices. You will notice than the inside of the biscuits are still a little wet – this is fine. 
Arrange the slices on the lined tray and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Turn them over and toast for a further 15 minutes or until crisp and golden. Cool at room temperature, then serve with gelato, coffee or your favourite dessert wine. Any leftover tozzetti will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Silvia Colloca - 0.9K Likes - Just a reminder that you can make any day a bit better with pasta.
This is my broken lasagne with lamb ragú 
Ingredients

60 ml (¼ cup) extra-virgin olive oil
3-4 garlic cloves, bashed
3-4 lamb forequarter chops (see Note)
200 ml red wine
2 400 ml cans chopped tomatoes
¼ red capsicum
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
400 g lasagne sheets, broken into irregular pieces
grated pecorino, to serve
1. For the lamb ragú, heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Add the lamb chops and cook until browned all over. Add the red wine and simmer over high heat for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Add the tinned tomatoes, capsicum and 800 ml water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally for 3–4 hours or the until meat falls off the bone. Nonna would lift out the meat and reserve it for another meal. You can do that too or simply remove it from the pan to shred and get rid of any tiny bones and then add it back to the sauce. Remove and discard the capsicum, then season to taste.

2. Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Drop in the broken lasagne pieces, stir and cook for 5-6 minutes or until al dente. Remove with a slotted spoon straight into the pan with the sauce, dragging along a little pasta cooking water, then toss well. Bring to the table and serve with freshly grated pecorino.

Silvia Colloca - 894 Likes - Another “rehearsal-to-show” moment from A night with Matteo, Australian tour. 
This song, Honesty, is part of his latest album and I loved singing it with him at all the shows. A song about friendship, those late night, kitchen sink conversations about life, love hope, the unexpected magic in the domestic. 
The tour is finished,  @matteobocelli has now left and is embarking on a world tour and I’m so humbled to have been a small part of his journey into making his own mark in the music industry with his velvety voice, unguarded smile and signature Tuscan joviality.

Silvia Colloca - 888 Likes - This beautiful australian film is currently streaming on Binge. If you missed it at the movies, I would love you to watch it. Captivating performances by the great Robert Menzies and Mark Leonard Winter playing two men facing generational trauma, in desperate need of connection, with the background of the uplifting influence of Italian immigration. Fabio Motta plays my brother and he’s a gem! Written by Aaron Wilson (who also directed) and Christos Tsiolkas.
