Selection and Preparation of Seafood
Preparing seafood is key to an incredible salty tronchetto. Knowing how to choose and prepare seafood makes a difference. A good dish becomes something special.
Professional Cleaning of Prawns and Clams
Cleaning seafood is very important. For the shrimp, I do the following:
I remove the head and shell
I remove the digestive tract with a thin knife
Rinse with cold water
Dry well with absorbent paper
For the clams, I soak them in salt water. This is how they remove sand and dirt.
Perfect Cooking of Seafood
Cooking seafood beforehand is key. This way they stay fresh and tasty. I recommend cooking them quickly.
Seafood Cooking Time Temperature
Prawns 2-3 minutes Medium-high heat
Clams 4-5 minutes Until they open
Gourmet Marinated and Seasoned
Marinating seafood improves its flavor. My marinade has olive oil, garlic, parsley and lemon. This enhances its freshness.
Preparation of the Base Dough
Making the dough for a savory tronchetto is an art. It requires practice and care. In my recipe, the base dough is key to an incredible result.
The ingredients are simple but important. You need:
Wheat flour 00
fresh eggs
Extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
warm water
Kneading is vital in any savory tronchetto. First, I will mix the dry ingredients. I’ll make a flour volcano on the table. Then, I will add the eggs and oil, incorporating them little by little.
