Here we are at the monthly appointment with all the good that is in season in February: much fruit vegetable and fish to buy to eat well and to price choir. Basically little change in February compared to January: we are the last of the three winter months and definitely February is not a month of new arrivals as will instead Mar.. Get ready to spring in a month. Is, especially, resist in the face of pale strawberries, full of water, peep since last month on supermarket shelves. In February, there are still many types of fruit and vegetables to use in cooking. From BLACK CABBAGE, with which you can make an infinite number of recipes, to get to the many RECIPES WITH ORANGES.
The citrus fruits are in fact the fruits of choice of the winter months, as well as all green leafy vegetables such as beets, Escarole, kale and turnips large families, broccoli and cauliflower. Not forgetting the artichokes. While the season is already over the thistles If you live in southern Italy and you like to take long walks in the hills, you might be lucky as it happened to me and find wonderful WILD ASPARAGUS to prepare tasty risottos or QUICHES ASPARAGUS. But know that in any case the asparagus still can not be considered seasonal. They are a wonderful stroke of luck.
