SUMMER TURNS LIGHT

SUMMER TURNS LIGHT

No stove, all summer.

When the heat arrives, happiness is all in a drizzle of oil. And in a dish that comes together in ten minutes, without ever turning on the stove.

This week we're bringing raw zucchini and carrot ribbons to the table: colourful, fragrant and ready in a moment. Just shave the zucchini and carrots into thin ribbons with a peeler, arrange them like a nest on the plate and scent them with mint and sage. Then a handful of pumpkin seeds, salt, pepper and the touch that makes all the difference: a generous drizzle of Olio Basso Organic Extra Virgin.

It's an Italian organic oil, cold-pressed, with a fresh aroma and a full flavour: perfect on raw dishes, where it doesn't hide but makes itself felt. The ingredient of happiness — the one that turns a few seasonal ingredients into a plate of summer.

No stove, all summer. And buon appetito.
