Risotto Coi Carciofi To quote the author," In Pitigliano it was
traditionally served during Passover*, when artichokes are in season and
tender". *"Other differences (between Italian Jews and Ashkenazic Jews)
stem from the fact that some foods are not considered kosher by the
Ashkenazim are permitted by the Italkim or Sephardim and vice versa. For
example, rice, which was a staple for us at Passover, is considered
chamtaz, or leavened food, by the Ashkenazim, whereas chocolate, cheese,
and other milk products, so widely used by the American Jews during
Passover, were absolutely forbidden for us, because we considered them to
be chametz." Trim artichokes; remove any choke and slice very thin. Heat
oil thoroughly in a large skillet and add the artichoke slices. Season with
2 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste. Cook over high heat, stirring
frequently , for approximately 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium and cook,
stirring frequently, another 10 minutes. Bring 3 cups of water with 1 tsp
salt to a boil. Add rice and cook, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes. Add to
skillet with artichokes and stir to combine. SERVES: 6

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
