How to prepare a sustainable menu

May's first sustainable Midday Kitchen, prepared by our chef Davide Negri, saw the mondeghili, a vegetable risotto and strudel on the table.

The first rule of this menu? Seasonal ingredients: for the first appointment in May we chose lots of seasonal vegetables, such as broad beans, asparagus and pumpkin flowers. Fundamental: limit waste and recover the ingredients, like stale bread.
Among the dishes there are also the mondeghili, the Milanese meatballs symbol of the recovery cuisine, with the reuse of leftovers and meat waste. On the menu, we used the same meat to prepare the broth needed for cooking risotto.
Finally the strudel, a genuine dessert that helps us to limit calorie intake, in addition to waste in the kitchen.

Now try it too: here is our exclusive recipe book!
