But if you >like the taste of curry in this dish, put it, but don't say it is a >neapolitan dish Perhaps not southern Italian or Neapolitan but I thought I understood that the cuisine of Venice and the Veneto region was more adventurous spice-wise than the rest of Italy due to the fact that Venice was the port through which much of the spice from the Far East arrived on its way to the rest of Europe. I believe it was a Venetian recipe where I first heard of putting a very small amount of cinnamon in a red sauce for pasta (it's much better than it might seem at first blush). |

Otherwise I'd suggest Cianfotta (egg-plant with potatos) for the vegetable dish. Or, if you want a risotto with saffron, Risotto alla milanese. Cheers, Michael Kuettner |

Stuffed eggplant is planned for the dinner. I plan the menu, and I make the decisions. I want a risotto-eggplant dish, that fits with the Neapolitan-Sicilian menu. > Otherwise I'd suggest Cianfotta (egg-plant with potatos) for the vegetable dish. > Or, if you want a risotto with saffron, Risotto alla milanese. We did that at our last dinner. Don't want to repeat. |

What's that? > They're seeds used sometimes in Hispanic cooking, to add a golden color to rice. If your supermarket carries Goya products, that's where you'll likely find them, in a large spice container. You warm some of the seeds in oil, which turns golden-slightly red, and use that oil in your recipe. Some prepared foods will show "anatto coloring" in their ingredients lists, too. |
