I headed up to Ideale to cook with Maurizio. We were in a springtime frame of mind and in Roma that means young spring lamb and the first crop of artichokes.Carciofi alla Romana is a simple preparation. Maurizio cleaned a large artichoke in a flash. The artichokes went upside down in a pot with a bath of water, white wine, extra virgin olive oil and a few aromatics.Potatoes were tossed with extra virgin olive oil, rosemary and garlic and roasted in the oven.But the star of this meal was the scottadito (“burn the finger”). The chops are so good you burn your fingers because you can’t wait to pick them up and eat those lolipops.Authentic Italian cooking recipes from what's left of San Francisco's Italian-American neighborhood.Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/GiannisNBGoogle+: http://plus.google.com/+GianniNorthBeachTVTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/giannitvWeb: http://www.gianni.tvMusic by David Molina: http://drmsound.com/Video by Hungry Village: http://hungryvillage.comWatch all my cooking episodes: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7BEADADCCAD445F2SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/user/gianninorthbeach?sub_confirmation=1
