Watched Lidia Bastianich make the most awesome meal the other day and I cant wait to repeat it this weekend
Bone-in pork chops Milanese - nothing too fancy here, just pound them as flat as possible, dip in an egg and heavy cream wash, then into your Italian style breadcrumbs, then fry them up
Mozz stuffed tomatoes - again, nothing too fancy, just simple goodness... best tomatoes you can find + best mozzarella you can find + a fresh basil leaves, core out your maters and stuff with the above ingredients then drizzle generously with EVOO and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes
Italian green beans - put your fresh green beans in some EVOO, minced garlic, pepper flake, lemon zest and towards the end squeeze the lemon into them and cook down a bit... I have never seen green beans look better than those did
Serve with a nice, crispy on the outside bread [Reply]

Man, if you're already going for good tomat and mozz, just get fresh mozz and make a caprese salad. Best marriage of flavors around, and perfect for early summer.
tomato
fresh mozz
fresh basil
Vidalia
balsamic de Modena
A little fresh cracked peppercorn, if you like. [Reply]

That is certainly the lighter, more 'summery' way to go... something to keep in mind for sure
But I'm planning to do exactly what Lidia did, she was killing me that night and I gotta have some of that [Reply]
