Bonacini's Italy 1x6

Documentary 2018

Famous for its beautiful coastline, Campania is home to many popular Italian seafood dishes. Chef Michael Bonacini's delicious antipasto is light, crunchy, and influenced by the sea. From shrimp to scallops to squid seasoned with fresh sage, this deceptively simple dish will impress your dinner guests. For his primo, Michael makes Campania's most beloved dish said to be invented in its capital, Naples - Margherita Pizza. This uncomplicated, thin-crust pizza features sweet tomatoes, white Buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves for a crispy, flavourful bite. Then, briny clams mingle with starchy potatoes in a Campania favourite called Spaghetti Alle Vongole or Spaghetti with Clams. Finally, Michael moves to Campania's inland where wild boar is a popular protein. Richer and leaner than pork, wild boar has a unique flavour and Michael cooks this dish with apples to bring out the sweetness of the meat.
