Giardiniera (prepare

1 capsicum, diced

2 stalks celery, diced

2 carrots, diced

1 onion, diced

1 zucchini, diced

1 cauliflower, diced

50g salt

Extra-virgin olive oil

4 × That’s Amore Cheese

Diavoletti

To make giardiniera (pickled vegetables), place capsicum, celery, carrots,

onion, zucchini and cauliflower in large bowl.

Stir in salt and fill with enough cold water to cover. Place plastic wrap over

bowl and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, drain salty water and rinse vegetables.

In separate bowl, place olive oil, garlic, bay leaves, vinegar and water and

mix well. Combine with vegetable mixture, cover and refrigerate for 3 days

before using.

To make kale chips, preheat oven to 200°C.

Rinse and thoroughly dry kale and cut into small strips, discarding any

big stems. Spread kale over baking sheet, ensuring that strips touch as little

as possible.

Drizzle with olive oil, toss and bake for 15–20 mins or until crisp. Remove

from oven and let cool slightly.

Heat non-stick pan. Cut That’s Amore Cheese Diavoletti lengthways, place

in pan olive-side down, and cook for 2 mins each side.

Serve immediately with kale chips and pickled vegetables as a side.

Caciocavallo literally translates to “horse (cavallo)

cheese (cacio)” or “cheese on horseback”. The name

derives from the Italian tradition of tying cheese

forms together in pairs and hanging them over

a wooden board to dry-age. This pasta fi lata

cheese is made from cow’s milk. It is stretched by

hand into a natural teardrop shape with a knot

at the top so that a cord can be tied around the

thin end to hang. After ageing, caciocavallo takes

on a salty fl avour — which is why caciocavallo is

considered to be the Grana Padano of southern

Italy. Caciocavallo is delicious enjoyed with a full-

bodied wine, grated on top of your favourite dishes

or sliced and pan-fried to enhance its fl avour.
