Caprese: the fantastic sandwich and where to eat it (in Capri) – Italian Cuisine

In Capri, with tomato and mozzarella, you make a sandwich for which you have to queue up, in the most famous delicatessen on the island (but it costs only € 4)

In the very chic Capri there is an address that brings everyone together, starred chefs, VIPs, Neapolitans on a trip and well-informed tourists. It is a delicatessen, with popular prices and with a queue outside; where to stop to taste one of the best kept secrets of the island.

The Futurist genesis

If LA Caprese is famous all over the world and is among the most famous dishes of the Italian summer, there is also a sandwich version. But it is not a fast food invention of the Third Millennium, it is part of the island's history at least when the "dish" version. The ingredients are the same: tomato, mozzarella, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and basil leaves. The salad version owes its origins to Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, futurist and gourmet in search of revolutionary dishes: strictly pasta-free, traditionalist because heavy to digest. In Capri, a "cheese and tomato" salad was already eaten, but during a gala evening at Grand Hotel Quisisana in 1922, Marinetti had the patriotic recipe served – where it is still in the paper.

IL Caprese, sandwich version, boasts the same popular origins and its fortune to a king himself, Farouk of Egypt. We are in 1951 and during a holiday in Capri, the sovereign asked for a snack, and so he tasted a street food that was consumed by the commoners. The success was such that it can still be found on the menus of the bars on the island and throughout the coast. But where to eat a good one?

Where to eat it: the chef's advice

The Capri chef doc Luigi Lionetti, of the starred restaurant Le Monzù of the Hotel Punta Tragara – the most luxurious on the island – has no doubts: "The delicatessen down by the port". Is called Aldo's delicatessen, the surname is Cuccurullo, and to recognize it just look in front of the ferry dock in Marina Grande: has the yellow curtain and the row outside. Inside is an ordinary delicatessen, which still sounds special in Capri, with a nice fridge with beers from 66 to 2 € (and drinks ready to be taken to the beach) and a delicatessen counter where mozzarella and salami dominate. At the moment they slice the sandwich in half, French or with soft oil (it depends on what is left over) the tomato strictly beef heart, the braid of mozzarella fior di latte, basil leaves broken with your fingers, a sprinkling of salt, a drizzle of oil and go into the wax paper € 4 for 30 cm of goodness: because size also matters. There are those who have raw ham added, others cooked, some eggplants in oil: everything is weighed at the moment. Then they write the price on your slip of paper and you go to the cash desk (two meters away) where Aldo's wife prepares the receipt. And for € 5 including a drink, you can take a bite at one of the Capri institutions. Where to eat it? On the beach or, better still, as an aperitif at sunset along the promenade of via Grotta Azzurra, Punta del Miglio or Forte Mesola. Capri will not be a low-cost destination, but it offers absolutely democratic corners of poetry.

The recipe for Federico Cari's vegetarian club sandwich – Italian Cuisine

From the delicious dehors of the Dafne Garden Café in Rome, the #ricettadellochef to prepare the Club Veg, the vegetarian version of the famous sandwich with chicken

The Dafne Garden Cafè is the delightful bar open to the public of a boutique hotel named Apollo, which is in Rome in Prati area, a stone's throw from Lepanto. Inaugurated in full lockdown, it can be said that they have already suffered the torture of the vengeful God and that now their love can rather sail towards a happy ending. Meanwhile, the evil Cupid who fires gold and lead arrows seems to have kept the latter in the quiver. Everyone fell in love with this corner of the Prati district, where a small terrace nestled between ministerial buildings has become a small urban jungle.

Accomplice of falling in love, Federico Cari, a pastry chef temporarily lent mostly to savory, who has developed Dafne's menu, from breakfast to aperitif. It is for the lunch appointment that Daphne expresses herself best at the moment, with perfect delicacies for a lunch break more or less light, depending on the delicacy. Federico Cari has in fact created a menu of gourmet sandwiches and more, which includes the Club Sandwich in two versions. The first is the one that follows tradition, the second is his idea that caused a sensation: the Veg Club, layered sandwich like the carnivorous brother, but in a vegetarian version, played on contrasts of color and flavor, between zucchini, tomatoes and aubergines.

He gave us the recipe to try to create magic at home. But the advice is to try the original first.

Vegetarian Club Sandwich: recipe for 2 Veg Club

Ingredients

3 large slices of wholemeal sandwich bread
3 organic dark skinned eggplants (not too big)
6 organic courgettes
½ red onion
2 organic "ribbed" unripe tomatoes (the classic sandwich tomato)
Classic (or slightly mustard) mayonnaise
Fresh basil
Fresh thyme
Fresh chives
Fresh mint
Extra virgin olive oil

Method

(the preparations can also be made well in advance and kept in the fridge)

For the courgette cream:

Use 3 courgettes for this preparation. Cut the courgettes eliminating part of the white inside, slice them thin. In a pan put the julienne sliced onion, extra virgin olive oil and fry gently, add the zucchini and sauté until they are tender, but not overcooked. Immediately blend the courgettes with three basil leaves when hot, possibly adding a little water to make the cream very smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature.

For the baked vegetables:

Preheat the oven to 180 ° C in ventilated mode. Prepare two trays lined with parchment paper, cut the aubergines into slices about ½ cm thick or a little more, spread them in the pan and season with oil and salt. Cut the courgettes into thick slices lengthwise, spread them out in the pan and season with oil and salt. Bake for 20 minutes, lightly browning both vegetables. Leave them to cool at room temperature.

Preparation of the "Veg" Club

Toast the slices of wholemeal bread on both sides and set aside. Slice the tomatoes to a thickness of about ½ centimeter and lightly dab them with excess water with the help of a kitchen cloth or absorbent paper. Spread all three slices of sandwich bread with a little mayonnaise and then with plenty of zucchini cream: one of these slices will be the cover of the Club Veg then keep it aside because it will only serve at the end. Arrange four slices of tomato on each of the two slices of bread, cover with the baked aubergines and then with the zucchini spread horizontally, overlapping them slightly to create a compact and uniform layer. Sprinkle each slice with the mix of fresh herbs cut into julienne or coarsely chopped. Place a few more courgette cream flakes to finish. Overlap the two layers one on top of the other (as if it were a multi-storey cake!) And close with the slice of bread that is left aside. Lightly squeeze this "turret" with the palm of your hand, remove the external crust of the sandwich bread using a well-sharp serrated bread knife and then cut the Club into two large rectangles. Toast the sandwich again for a few moments before serving. At will, complete each slice of Club Veg with a little cream of courgettes and other aromatic herbs.
