Cipri Italian Mimmo’s Tonno sott’Olio
$26.00Tuna preserved in olive oil is the pride of the Calabrian pantry. This recipe comes from our grandfather, Carmine – a passionate fisherman who would travel from Calabria to Sicily with other neighbourhood fishermen to fish for tuna. Tuna prepared this way is somewhere between fresh and canned. Let’s called it “conserved,” to honor its inspiration, the old Italian tradition of preserving meat under olive oil, sometimes called conservata. Made at Cipri Italian. 300g

Cipri Italian Francesca’s Melanzane Giardinata
$17.00Marinated eggplant, carrot, celery, capers, garlic, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, chilli. Use as a side dish for roasted meats, impromptu lunches with good bread, canned tuna, cheese and salumi or in a sandwich or panino. Francesca used to help her mum make this mix back in Calabria from when she was only 8 years old (55 years ago). They had to make their living off the land, there was always an abundance of vegetables on their farm. It was not the norm to buy food back then, so they had to create what they could using their own produce. In Italy, eggplants were in abundance in Summer, so the family would make enough to last them though the winter months. Fortunately for Francesca’s family and friends, eggplants in Australia are available all year round. Made at Cipri Italian. 300g
