PESTOAnyone coming to Genoa for the first timeknows that they’ll find the simple greensauce known all over the world <strong>and</strong> will beanxious to try original pesto genovese, afterperhaps hearing much about it or tryingmany imitations, but never having had theoccasion to sample the authentic product.Pesto as we know it today has in fact asomewhat recent history, appearing inmenus only in the mid-19th century in thecookbooks by Ratto <strong>and</strong> Rossi as “crushedgarlic <strong>and</strong> basil”. Yet its origins seem tohave begun much earlier, as far back as the12th century, when a sauce was made inother parts of Europe by crushing garlic <strong>and</strong>oil together in a mortar; a recipe that foundits way to Genoa with the opening of thecity’s first abattoir in Soziglia where thesauce was used specifically to preserve theoffal, as well as toflavour the boiled<strong>and</strong> roasted meats orthe bouillabaissedish from nearbyProvence.It’s impossible toknow who first hadthe idea of addingbasil leaves to thishistoric sauce thathad remainedunchanged forcenturies. Perhapsone day on a whimor as anexperiment… whatever the reason, thesudden spread of pesto as the maincondiment for pasta in Genoa can only betraced back to the 1840’s. Its name wouldcome later, deriving from the method inwhich it is prepared, from ‘pestare’ whichmeans to crush or grind. Traditionally theingredients were crushed in a marblemortar with a wooden pestle.At this point we come to discussing how it’sactually made <strong>and</strong> with a little luck infinding the right ingredients, <strong>and</strong> with a fewauthentic tips, anyone can make it at home.The recipe below is the ‘official’ traditionalversion; although you should know thatmany Genoese families jealously guardtheir secret family ingredients <strong>and</strong> methodsthat make their homemade pesto unique,<strong>and</strong> even better for any lucky guests.PESTO 7


THE “OFFICIAL” RECIPEIngredients• Four bunches of basilico genovese PDO(60-70 g of leaves)• 45-60 g of parmesan cheese (seasonedparmigiano reggiano or grana padano)• 20-40 g of Sardinian pecorino cheese• 60-80 cc of Extra Virgin Olive Oil PDOfrom LiguriaWash the basil leaves, which must be soft <strong>and</strong>come from plants no more than 2 months old,<strong>and</strong> dry them carefully on a paper towel.Place the garlic into a large marble mortaralong with a few grains of salt <strong>and</strong> begin tocrush with the pestle, which should be madeof olive tree wood.Add the pine kernels <strong>and</strong> continue to crushuntil you get quite a coarse pulp.Add the basil leaves <strong>and</strong> continue tocrush gently, then add the cheese <strong>and</strong> mixeverything together.Soften the mixture by adding olive oil,little by little, until it reaches a smooth <strong>and</strong>creamy consistency, then transfer to a mixingbowl <strong>and</strong> mix with the rest of the oil using awooden spoon.A few tips:Never press the basil leaves too hard, butrotate the pestle gently along the sides ofthe mortar so that they tear without beingcrushed. The pesto should be made inmild temperatures <strong>and</strong> not take too long asoxidation with alter the taste <strong>and</strong> colour ofthe basil.The amount of garlic you use can be alteredto suit your personal taste, but leaving it out• 10 g of sea salt• 30 g of pine kernels(from Pisa or the Mediterranean)• One or two cloves of garlic(Vessalico garlic is best for its delicateflavour)completely will alter the authentic flavour.Some people, mostly from the Riviera, add alittle curd or hazel nuts, which are acceptableadditions. Whereas cashew nuts <strong>and</strong> parsleyare an absolute no no!Where practical, you should avoid using anelectric blender as the steel blades <strong>and</strong> heatproduced alter the flavour of the sauce.Before adding to the pasta of choice - trofie,troffiette, trenette, m<strong>and</strong>illi de saea (minilasagne), testaieu (testaroli) - a good tip is todilute the sauce a little with the water drainedfrom the pasta.If you fancy it, you can also boil a fewpotatoes or string beans with the trenettepasta, to make trenette avvantaggiae, acomplete <strong>and</strong> satisfying typical dish.Finally, pesto can be preserved for a few daysin the fridge by covering it with extra oliveoil to avoid oxidation, which should then bedrained when it comes to be used.8 THE “OFFICIAL” RECIPE

In Genoa, breakfast is more like a ritual to be performed without hurrying,in the tranquillity of one’s own kitchen or in company at the counter or tableof your favourite bar. You’ll notice that almost everybody is going for a slice offocaccia, usually still warm from the oven, <strong>and</strong> some of the more uninhibitedlocals like to dip it in their cappuccino. In fact that’s just how the focaccia cameto realise its many different flavours, changing completely when accompaniedwith sweet or savoury flavours. You’ll notice there are also those who prefer theirbreakfast a little sweeter, who might have a biscotto del lagaccio in their h<strong>and</strong>, atypical dry biscuit found only in Genoa <strong>and</strong> that takes its name from the districtwhere they were originally produced or perhaps a caporale, a sugar-coatedbiscuit similar to sponge fingers that absorbs the caffelatte perfectly.Historical CENTRE 11

Today it’s Genoa’s typicalfinger-food, something you can eat on the hoof. Each bakery makes their own variety,it’s difficult to find two identical ones in the city, some are oilier, some thicker, but theimportant thing is that it has holes where the oil <strong>and</strong> salt gathers, <strong>and</strong> sends your tastebuds crazy when you reach them… especially if you eat it “upside down”, with the crispyside on your tongue (try it <strong>and</strong> you’ll see)!Ingredients: 500 g soft wheat flour, 1 dl extra virgin olive oil, 30 g salt, 30 g yeast, water.Preparation: With the flour form a well on the work surface. Dissolve the yeast with a littlewarm water <strong>and</strong> add it to the flour <strong>and</strong> start kneading as you would when making bread.Let the mixture rise under a warm tea towel in a warm place for 2 hours. Take the mixture<strong>and</strong> add the remaining flour <strong>and</strong> oil <strong>and</strong> knead into a softmix. Allow it to rise for another 2 hours. Then flatten outthe mixture with your h<strong>and</strong>s into a baking tray <strong>and</strong> makethe indents where the oil will collectwith your fingers. Sprinkle with salt<strong>and</strong> let it rest a little longer beforeplacing in a pre-heated oven at200-230°C for about 30 minutesor until it becomes a nice goldencolour.14 Historical CENTRE

Firstthing in the morning an egg was offered to the head of the family as a wishing of prosperity<strong>and</strong> fertility, <strong>and</strong> this ingredient was then the protagonist of the menu. The starter was boiledeggs stuffed with olives <strong>and</strong> capers, over which an olive leave was placed, which had beenblessed on the previous Sunday. The first course would then be leitughe pinn-e in bròddo(stuffed lettuce). For the main course they would serve cima, the traditional stuffed veal breast<strong>and</strong> an icon of Genoese cuisine, Easter tart, made with a filling of chard <strong>and</strong> prescinseua (alocal curdled cheese), enclosed by thirty-three pastry leaves in remembrance of the age ofChrist. For dessert they would often serve cavagnetti, baskets of sweet pastry containing acoloured egg. Easter Monday known as “lunedì de l’Angeo”, has always been dedicated totrips out to the hills: wicker hampers were filled with Sant’Olcese salami, freshly picked favabeans, fresh Sardinian cheese, fried artichoke <strong>and</strong> whatever was left over from lunch the daybefore, such as the boiled eggs <strong>and</strong> cima, also breaded <strong>and</strong> fried. And so with this feast thefamilies spent a happy day out in the countryside.22 Historical CENTRE

Whether it’s true or not, the dishhas become one of the richest in Genoese culinary tradition.Ingredients: 700 g of veal bacon, cut in a single thin piece, then sown into a bag with anopening at one end, half a brain, 200 g of offal, 200 g of lean veal meat, extra virgin olive oil,6 eggs, 100 g of grated parmesan, 30 g of pine kernels, 200 g of fresh peas, a few leaves ofmarjoram, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 onion, 1 stalk of celery, 1 carrot, salt <strong>and</strong> pepper.Preparation: Brown the diced veal meat <strong>and</strong> offal (previously boiled <strong>and</strong> with themembrane removed).

They were probably invented due to theneed to use up leftovers, mixing them with something that could make the unusualcombinations of ingredients go together, therefore, almost any kind of vegetable is used.Yet the most well-known tart in Genoa is undoubtedly the Torta Pasqualina, now famousthroughout Italy <strong>and</strong> beyond.Ingredients: for the pastry: 500 g of flour, two spoonful of extra virgin olive oil, warm water<strong>and</strong> salt.For the filling: 1 kg of Swiss chard, 1 onion, two cloves of garlic, 8 eggs, 100 g of gratedparmesan cheese, 400 g of prescinseua (curdled cheese), marjoram, extra virgin olive oil,salt <strong>and</strong> pepper.Preparation: Make a mound with the flour <strong>and</strong> make a well in the middle, pour in the oliveoil, two pinches of salt, <strong>and</strong> enough warm water to make a soft <strong>and</strong> smooth dough.After kneading it well, divide the dough into 33 equallysized balls <strong>and</strong> allow them to rest, after sprinkling withflour <strong>and</strong> covering with a tea towel. While the dough rests,clean the Swiss chard <strong>and</strong> boil them with a tiny amountof water. Allow them to drain, press out any excess water<strong>and</strong> chop. In a sauce pan, brown the chopped onion<strong>and</strong> garlic, add the chard <strong>and</strong> cook for 10 minutes. Pourinto a large mixing bowl <strong>and</strong> mix with the eggs, 80 g ofparmesan cheese <strong>and</strong> the chopped marjoram.Continued on p. 3028 Historical CENTRE

Take 13balls of dough one at a time, <strong>and</strong> flatten with the mallet, making them as thin as possible,then make them thinner still by hammering with a greased fist until they becometranslucent. Grease the bottom of a tart pan <strong>and</strong> arrange the 13 leaves to form the base,brushing each with oil, except for the last one.On top of this layer place the Swiss chard <strong>and</strong> cover with the curdled cheese.Make six indents with a spoon <strong>and</strong> place an egg in each, with a little salt. Now flatten theremaining 20 balls of dough <strong>and</strong> arrange them over the top of the filling, greased on bothsides, <strong>and</strong> try to keep them separate from each other by blowing air under them througha straw can help keep them apart. Ensure that the layers adhere well at the edges, <strong>and</strong>then roll inwards to make a crust round the edge.Brush the surface with oil <strong>and</strong> place in a pre-heated oven at 180 - 200°C for about 50minutes until the tart appears golden with a crispy crust.Other <strong>suggestions</strong>:Another variation of the Torta Pasqualina is the Torta Cappuccina: this tart is preparedwith the same ingredients, but instead of keeping the vegetables, eggs <strong>and</strong> cheeseseparate in the filling, they are all mixed together, If you want to experiment with differentfillings, the Swiss chard can be replaced with artichokes, cut into thin slices <strong>and</strong> fried withoil <strong>and</strong> chopped onion, <strong>and</strong> ricotta can be used instead of prescinseua curdled cheese.30 Historical CENTRE

Tradition dictated that these little treats should never be missingfrom a Genoese table during a holiday, <strong>and</strong> that the same speciality shouldn’t appear twiceduring the year. January, on the day of the Epiphany, began with anixin, biscuits made withflour, sugar <strong>and</strong> eggs flavoured with aniseed. The next month would see family dining tables<strong>and</strong> bakery windows fill with cubeletti, short pastry filled with marmalade on the occasionof the Saint Agatha’s fair. The sweets known as quaresimali were linked to Catholic rituals<strong>and</strong> the tradition of Lent. Legend has it they were invented in a convent by the nuns whowanted to create a dessert that didn’t contravene the strict rules of abstinence that hadto be obeyed during the forty days before Easter: which meant no meat, dairy, eggs, lardor animal fats or wine. These sweets are in fact made from a simple pastry of water, sugar<strong>and</strong> almond paste, decorated with glaze <strong>and</strong> coloured confectionary.

It is the ideal setting forbreeding the best pigs, thanks to the thick fruit-bearing woodl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the proximity tothe Via del Sale, a commercial route along which salt was historically traded. The nearbybreeding of cattle has also influenced the history of this product, making it a uniqueItalian salami.It’s an extremely lean sausage, made of half pork <strong>and</strong> half beef, even if the precisepercentages vary from producer to producer. Until the end of the 19th century therewere around 50 such producers, but sadly today only two remain. Production begins withthe preparation of the pork, the cubes of lard (not minced), <strong>and</strong> finally with the beef,prepared by h<strong>and</strong>. Only the lean cut of meat ends up in the meat mixture, which is thenmade into sausages <strong>and</strong> then dried in an oak-wood oven, before being seasoned for30-40 days. Sant’Olcese salami is distinctive for its delicate smoked aroma <strong>and</strong> should beconsumed less seasoned than other salami products.genova Genoa città City 45

It’s not a strong <strong>and</strong> intense olive oil likethose from the south of the Mediterranean, but light <strong>and</strong> delicate, particularly to the Westwhere the olive groves are nurtured by a dry <strong>and</strong> mild climate. Thanks to these specialcharacteristics, Ligurian oil is the perfect basic ingredient for many traditional recipessuch as pesto, or a great condiment that can fuse <strong>and</strong> bring together different aromas.In 1997, Liguria’s extra virgin olive oil obtained the protected designation of origin(PDO), whereas specifically Genoese oil(called “Riviera di Levante”) is obtainedby pressing olives from the Lavagnina,Razzola, Pignola <strong>and</strong> Frantoio varieties.Other products to try, perhaps during anaperitif along the seafront, are the olives inbrine <strong>and</strong> the delectable olive pâté, madeby removing the stones from the olives<strong>and</strong> grinding the flesh into a paste - tobe savoured on a fragrant piece of whitebread.Genoa City 49

For this reason they understoodthe importance of preserving the food available during more fecund periods for whentimes were harder <strong>and</strong> also to be able to transport their catch to sell inl<strong>and</strong>. And so“Ligurian Anchovies under Sea Salt” were invented, which obtained ProtectedGeographical Indication (PGI) in 2008. This means that all products bearing the nameAcciughe sotto sale del Mar Ligure are subject to rigorous control throughout theirproduction process.The first rules in this delicate procedure relate back to the statutes of some medievalcoastal towns. Today, only certain species of blue fish can be used in their production,characterised by a dense yet soft flesh <strong>and</strong> a particularly sharp taste. The catch must beput under salt no more than 12 hours after it was removed from the water. According totraditional recipes, the heads of the anchovies are removed <strong>and</strong> the fish is gutted withoutopening the underside; then it must be dried carefully <strong>and</strong> arranged radially in woodenbarrels (or at home in glass jars), alternating layers of anchovies with layers of sea salt.Once the container is full, the barrel is sealed with a wooden disk <strong>and</strong> left to season for40-50 days. Perfect salting is achieved when the flesh becomes firm <strong>and</strong> has a colour thatranges from intense pink to brown.There are many uses for anchovies under salt in the kitchen: as starters, in pasta coursesor main courses.One of the most typical recipes is “Ligurian anchovies”: the fillets are laid out, carefullyde-salted under running cold water, then put in a jar with parsley, garlic <strong>and</strong> oregano <strong>and</strong>covered completely with olive oil.50 Genoa City

The name derives from the word‘pancia’ meaning belly, due to their ‘pot-belly’ shape, whilst in the Riviera they are alsofound in triangular <strong>and</strong> half-moon shapes.Ingredients: for the dough: 450 g of flour, 1 glass of white wine, 1 egg, salt.For the filling: 250 g of borage, 250 g of chards, 500 g of preboggion - a mixture of wildboiled greens, 200 g of prescinseua cheese, 20 g of butter, 50 g of grated parmesancheese, 3 eggs, nutmeg, marjoram, salt.Preparation: Arrange the flour into a mound <strong>and</strong> make a well in the middle. Pour in theegg, wine <strong>and</strong> salt. Knead until you get a smooth firm consistency, then flatten the doughwith a mallet <strong>and</strong> leave it not thicker than 3 mm.Allow the dough to rest under a tea towel while you prepare the filling.Clean the vegetables <strong>and</strong> boil in an abundant amount of water, drain <strong>and</strong> chop finely.Place the chopped vegetables in a mixing bowl <strong>and</strong> add the prescinseua cheese, eggs,parmesan <strong>and</strong> melted butter <strong>and</strong> mix gently.Finally flavour to taste with nutmeg, marjoram <strong>and</strong> salt.Cut the dough roughly into 5 cm squares <strong>and</strong> place a spoonful of filling in the centre ofeach square: fold the dough over into small parcels, pressing on the edges to seal them.A few <strong>suggestions</strong>: the pansoti are cooked insalted boiling water for about 10 minutes <strong>and</strong>then drained with a skimmer; the traditionalaccompaniment is walnut sauce, but they also gowell simply with butter <strong>and</strong> sage.Genoa City 53

With its mini dome shape, the sweetencloses layers of sponge cake soaked in liquor, coffee, cocoa <strong>and</strong> butter cream.Ingredients: one whole sponge cake, 6 egg yolks, 150 g sugar, 250 g of butter, 150 g ofdark chocolate, dry marsala, maraschino, br<strong>and</strong>y, 200 g of icing sugar, 200 g of amarettoParadorRistorantebiscuits, a cup of coffee.Preparation: slice the sponge cake horizontally into 6 equal-sized circles.

Whilstthis cools, sieve the icing sugar <strong>and</strong> mix with the butter using a wooden spoon, producinga creamy mixture, which you then add to the egg mixture. After mixing well, divide theresulting mixture in half: to one part add the espresso coffee, <strong>and</strong> to the other add the )chocolate, broken into pieces.

The main area of production is thePolcevera valley to the West of the city, where the l<strong>and</strong> has proved to be more suitable for this typeof cultivation. Today, the few producers left have managed to achieve coveted awards: Valpolcevera<strong>and</strong> Valpolcevera di Coronata have both been assigned PDO, whilst Colline del Genovesatohas Geographical Indication (GI). Valpolcevera <strong>and</strong> Colline del Genovesato can be red, whiteor rosé (from the union of bianchetta <strong>and</strong> dolcetto, sangiovese or ciliegiolo varieties), whereasCoronata, named after the hill overlooking Genoa, is only white. The white wines (mainly Albarola,with vermentino or lumassina grapes) are dry <strong>and</strong> come still <strong>and</strong> sparkling, with alcohol contentsof between 11 <strong>and</strong> 12 per cent. They often offer scents of flowers, fruits <strong>and</strong> resin with a slightlysulphurous aftertaste: in the past this could have been a defect in the conservation in old woodenbarrels, but today is an appreciated quality in a wine. All these wines, that are better consumedyoung, should be served chilled <strong>and</strong> go perfectly with the typical cuisine: from the first courses ofpasta al pesto to the main courses of <strong>and</strong> fried fish, vegetable tarts <strong>and</strong> stuffed vegetables, to thegrilled fish <strong>and</strong>, naturally, all types of focaccia.62 Genoa City

In days gone by, lunch would begin in the afternoon with maccheroni inchicken broth. The boiled chicken would then be served with sweet pickles, today oftensubstituted with a parsley sauce. In harder times, the creative housewives adapted this dishto use dried bread, small fish <strong>and</strong> vegetables to replace the costly meat; today this dish is apopular delicacy, using quality fish <strong>and</strong> garnished with shellfish <strong>and</strong> lobster. From the 16thcentury, roast turkey with potatoes appeared on Genoese tables. For dessert, sweet fried milk,fresh, dried <strong>and</strong> c<strong>and</strong>ied fruit, chocolates, p<strong>and</strong>olce (sweet bread) that should contain a sprig oflaurel leaves in the centre for good luck. The honour of cutting the portions was of the eldest atthe table, u baccan (the head of the family in the local dialect) <strong>and</strong> two portions had to be setaside: one for the first passer-by to come to the door <strong>and</strong> the other for Saint Blaise, patron saintof the throat, to be eaten later to protect you from getting a sore throat. The traditional winewould be Coronata white, whilst the sweets were served with Sciacchetrà, a local <strong>and</strong> prestigiousdessert wine.Continued on p. 70Western Genoa 69

For garnish: 1 lobster, shellfish <strong>and</strong> molluscs according topreference (recommended are the red prawns from Santa Margherita Ligure), 2 boiled eggs,black or green olives (as preferred).Preparation: Prepare the salsa verde the day before you want to cook the capponmagro(making it slightly runnier than usual), so that it can rest in the fridge for 24 hours. Boil thecleaned fish in salted water, drain <strong>and</strong> remove the flesh from the bones, taking care toeliminate any small bones that may remain. Flavour with oil, salt <strong>and</strong> a little lemon juice <strong>and</strong>set aside. Whilst boiling the eggs, prepare the vegetables as follows: peel, wash <strong>and</strong> boileach of the vegetables separately in salted water until they’re al dente. Drain <strong>and</strong> cut intosliced or cubes, <strong>and</strong> season with oil, salt <strong>and</strong> a little vinegar. Put the vegetables aside <strong>and</strong>begin preparing the shellfish for the garnish, again separately. Drain <strong>and</strong> set aside.Now you have to create a sequence of layers alternated with salsa verde: lay the basewith the dried biscuits soaked in water <strong>and</strong> vinegar with the fish laid on top. Try to lay thevegetables to that they are in some way colour-coded to add to the overall aesthetics of thedish. Once you’ve laid all the layers (be careful not to make it too high as it might tumbledown) cover the last layer with salsa verde <strong>and</strong> garnish the dish as you wish, placing thelobster in the centre. Now put the dish in the fridge to rest until you’re ready to serve (atleast 12 hours before).A few <strong>suggestions</strong>: take care not to over-boil the fish or vegetables, as they’ll lose their colour<strong>and</strong> they won’t be firm enough to support the other layers. Drain all the ingredients carefully,<strong>and</strong> don’t overdo it with the condiments. Custom forbids the use of mayonnaise or gelatine.Western Genoa 73

BEFORE LEAVING GENOA…No matter how long your stay has been, if you’ve been fortunate enough to discover justsome of the innumerable treasures that Genoa has to offer, <strong>and</strong> you’ve been ensnared byits unique history <strong>and</strong> charm, then your departure will undoubtedly make you feel a littlemelancholic. You’re probably feeling that sensation the Genoese call magun in their dialect.So to alleviate the nostalgia for this colourful city, the fierce red of the sunsets, the infiniteblue of the sky <strong>and</strong> sea, its scents as you w<strong>and</strong>er past its bakeries <strong>and</strong> sweet shops, thesmell of the focaccia fresh from the oven, why not buy a few typical products to take backwith you for your friends or family or just to enjoy yourself until you get a chance to visitagain.With easy shipping, as most shops are well organised for overseas deliveries, some typicalproducts might provide an original alternative to the usual postcard or fridge magnet.You can bring a literal taste of Genoa to the people who couldn’t be there with you, <strong>and</strong> letthem discover the flavours <strong>and</strong> aromas for themselves.You can spoil the young ones (<strong>and</strong> not so young ones), with typical sweets, from c<strong>and</strong>y tobiscuits (like canestrelli, caporali <strong>and</strong> anicini) <strong>and</strong>, in the right season, don’t forget the typicalLent biscuits, the quaresimali.For Dad, a fine bottle of wine such as Val Polcevera or a Bianchetta Genovese with adelicious local salami or cured meat from Sant’Olcese might be the perfect gift.For Mums who like to cook, why not treat her to an authentic pesto, or walnut sauce to gowith some traditional pasta from the Polcevera valley?If there’s nobody expecting a present back home, then you can indulge yourself <strong>and</strong> pick upsome authentic souvenirs, as you can’t leave Genoa without taking with you a typical foodproduct <strong>and</strong> a pebble from the beach… although make sure nobody sees you stealing apebble!BEFORE LEAVING GENOA… 103
