The recipe of February

Nettle country-pizza
(for 6 persons)

By wearing rubber gloves, pick a certain amount ( about 300 gr ) of nettle leaves and soak them for 15 minutes, so that they can loose theyr urticant power.
Then put them in boiling salt water for two minutes. Let them dry and become cool.
In the meantime, put in a mixer three eggs, three glasses of milk, three glasses of flour, a glass of extravergin olive oil ( better if the Extravergin olive oil of The Casale La Farfalla ), salt, pepper and a little bit of nutmeg.
Mix everything and then add a pakage of baking powder. Go on mixing for a while.
Put a bit of extravergin olive oil ( as already said ) in a baking-tin and pour one half of the egg mixture, then put a thin layer of nettle leaves. Cover with the second half of the mixture and put in the oven at high flame for twenty minutes.
Let it become cool and then cut in slices.


P.S.
Nettle can easily be replaced by any other boiler or fried vegetable.
