Festa a Vico 2017, Lo Scugnizzo Islandese, 12 Morsi (Na)

Festa a Vico 2017 - Notte delle Stelle, aka, night of the stars. Night of the Michelin starred chefs who set up their stands on the marina of Seiano for this fantastic fundraising event.  But Notte delle Stelle isn't jut reserved for Michelin starred chefs.  Chef Gennaro Esposito, brainchild of the three day event, recognized the importance of simple street food produced by those who know it best.  Those like 12 Morsi -one of the burger kings in Naples.

I've been a follower  of 12 Morsi for a long time, and I've always been amazed at the pics I've seen on Facebook- so I was curious to try few bites, morsi  of anything they were pitching that evening.

Like lo Scugnizzo Islandese. During an event such as Festa a Vico, it is not easy to play the blogger role.  Sure, I managed to get a sandwich and snap a couple of pics, but it was several days late that I sent out a message to the amici of 12 Morsi so that I could get a grip of what this panino was all about.

Here's the reply...

Lo Scugnizzo Islandese è nato dalla collaborazione tra 12 Morsi e Baccalaria. I due cuochi hanno ideato questa ricetta molto particolare per avvicinare le persone al Baccalà, spesso definito come un prodotto molto povero, ma che invece cucinato in certi modi, può dare origine a dei piatti davvero indimenticabili.

Nel nostro caso abbiamo deciso di friggere il baccalà in una pastella al Zafferano, aggiungendoci una julienne di zucchine alla scapece e la mentuccia per dare una fresca sensazione. Poi c'è la stracciata di bufala, la crema di zucchine e la maionese all'aglio di nostra produzione.

The Icelandic Scugnizzo came to life through  the collaboration between 12 Morsi and Baccalaria. The two chefs have devised this particular recipe to bring people closer to  baccala, salt cod, often referred to as a very poor product, but cooked  if in certain  ways, can produce  really unforgettable dishes.

In our case, we decided to fry the cod in a saffron batter  , adding a julienne of marinated zucchini and t mint to give it a fresh feeling. Then there is the addition of stracciata di bufala cheese, creamy zucchini  and  tour own garlic  mayonnaise.

Super!
