TORTINO AL CIOCCOLATO
Steps:
- The preparation is short and very simple. Start by chopping the chocolate into very small pieces and place in a saucepan together with the butter into small pieces. Melt it all together and stir until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous mixture. Let cool. In another bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar together with an electric whisk until they become swollen and clear. Now take the melted chocolate and add it in this compound. Continue beating and add the flour. Butter 5 or 6 little ramekins and divide the dough into equal parts for each mold. Cover the molds with aluminum foil and place in the freezer for a couple of hours. You can leave it in the freezer for days and pull them out just before serving. Remove the aluminum and put your cupcakes in the oven and cook at 220°C per minute. Once cooked, form into patties and sprinkle with icing sugar. The secret to the filling remaining soft and warm lies in freezing the pie. This makes it impossible to cook the whole thing, leaving the inside soft and warm. If you want to give the dough a more intense aroma, you can add a couple of tablespoons of brandy or coffee. We advise you to serve the chocolate cake accompanied with custard served in a lovely cup.
TORTINO
A tortino is like an oven-baked frittata. It is easy to prepare and makes a good supper or lunch dish served on its own. The vegetables used can vary with the seasons. This is another Lucy Waverman recipe from Food and Drink.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the peas and asparagus. Cook until the vegetables are just tender. Drain and immediately plunge the vegetables into a large bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
- In a large kettle, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions, celery and watercress. Begin adding the Swiss chard, stirring until the leaves fit into the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are very tender. Season with salt and pepper and drain if necessary. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, cream, 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano, ricotta, Aleppo pepper and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir until smooth. Add the peas, asparagus and cooled vegetables and stir to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour the tortino mixture into a large, lightly greased casserole dish, sprinkle with the black pepper and cover with foil. (Make sure it does not touch the vegetables.) Place the dish in a large roasting pan and pour in boiling water to rise halfway up the sides.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the center of the tortino is set, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the casserole from the roasting pan and sprinkle the remaining Parmigiano on the top. Place the casserole under a broiler until the cheese is nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, cut into squares and garnish with mint and serve.
