Emiliana Piadina
The slightly fluffier Emiliana Piadina is perfect for a hot Piadina, the thicker texture means it begins to lightly brown on the outside without burning. A pinch of chilli flakes adds some heat to the creamy ricotta and can be adjusted to suit everyone’s taste. We used a classic Napoli salami, but it would be equally delicious with a rich bresaola or a few slices of Parma Ham.
Method
Step 1
Stir a pinch of salt and pepper into the ricotta, add chilli flakes until desired heat is reached.
Step 2
Warm a large frying pan over medium low heat. Once hot add an Emiliana Piadina to the pan and warm on one side for 1 minute.
Step 3
Flip the Piadina over and spread on the seasoned ricotta, add a handful or rocket and salami slices. Fold and press closed with spatula. Warm on each side for a further two minutes until heated throughout. Repeat with the remaining Piadina and serve warm.
