Piadina ingredients
At Crosta & Mollica, we have brought this delightfully versatile and authentic street-food straight from the bakeries of Italy to the UK. The beauty of Piadina lies within its simplicity; only four ingredients are used in Piadina, and you don't need many more to make it into a tasty lunchtime meal.
This recipe is best served alongside a fresh salad, it makes the most of the classic pairing of sweet caramelised red onions with creamy goats cheese, while adding walnuts for extra crunch, all cradled in a deliciously flaky Golden Durum Wheat Piadina. Warming Piadina in a pan before filling means the extra virign olive oil melts slightly, resulting in a flakier softer flatbread. Remember, never wrap Piadina, only fold them in half!
Method
Step 1
Thinly slice the red onion and sauté in olive oil on a low to medium heat until soft and turning slightly translucent.
Step 2
Add in the sugar and balsamic and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until you can see the onions starting to caramelise. Sprinkle in the rosemary, salt and pepper to taste then remove from the heat.
Step 3
Warm the Piadina in a hot, dry pan for 1 minute each side and then transfer to a plate or serving board.
Step 4
Scatter over some onions, slices of goat’s cheese and a sprinkling of walnut pieces. Serve warm and enjoy.
