Dinner time

Tonight I decided to cook something American , but with an ITALIAN twist considering all the wonderful ingredients I have here.   There's nothing more American than a burger so I thought ok how about a Burger ,

bruschetta ITALIAN style. 

  I started with a package of ground beef and a package of ITALIAN sausage . Added lots of fresh garlic some diced fresh parsley and the seasoning you buy here in Italy everywhere that is used for spaghetti. It's something we bought last time , I am bringing loads of it home this time. It's a combination of crushed chili, parsley and garlic and other things. Also I added some grated Parmesan . Mixed it all up and formed it into burger patties. 

     

    I took some day old bread , as I learned from an ITALIAN lady here, put it in the oven all by itself , no oil. Toasted it till crispy. Then I took some olive oil and tossed it with my seasoning. Of course the olive oil is very fresh, I bought it in lake Garda from a small farm. 

 I topped the toast with a drizzle of the chili oil , then the burger a thinly sliced tomato and red onion, some nice greens, more oil and there you have it!   It was a smashing success, and shows how fun and simply you can make a nice dinner while " glamping" in Europe.
