Piadina with Zucchini and Stracchino

Here is the recipe for a delicious piadina with zucchini and stracchino, a typically Italian filling that enhances the simple yet rich flavors of our territory.

Ingredients

• 2 piadinas (you can use ready-made ones or prepare them yourself with flour, water, salt, and a pinch of baking soda)
• 2 medium zucchinis
• 200 g of stracchino
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil
• (Optional) a few fresh mint or basil leaves to add an aromatic touch

Preparation

1. Wash the zucchinis, cut them into thin rounds or strips, depending on your preference.
2. In a non-stick pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and cook the zucchinis until they become tender and slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper during cooking.
3. Warm up a piadina in a pan or on a hot grill until it starts to become a little crispy and takes on some color.
4. Spread a generous amount of stracchino over half of the warm piadina, adding the cooked zucchinis on top.
5. If you like, you can add a few mint or basil leaves for a fresher and more aromatic flavor.
6. Fold the piadina over on itself and leave it for another minute on the hot grill or pan so that the cheese starts to melt slightly.
7. Repeat the process for the second piadina.
8. Serve the piadina immediately, possibly cutting it in half to make it easier to eat.

Curiosity

The piadina is a humble food from the Emilia-Romagna traditions that over the years has won over the Italian table for its versatility and simplicity. Today it can be found in numerous variants, combining different ingredients, but always in keeping with Italian tradition.

Do not hesitate to experiment with other types of cheese if you do not have stracchino, or to vary the vegetables according to the season and your personal preferences. Enjoy your meal!
