Piadina with Greens, Potatoes, and Lardo di Colonnata

Category: Main Dishes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Flatbreads (Piadine) 4
Greens (Erbette) 600g
Potatoes 4
Lardo di Colonnata 16 slices
Pecorino Cheese to taste
Garlic 1 clove
Extra virgin olive oil to taste
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a saucepan and boil them for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
    • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and slice them into half-centimeter thick rounds. Leave the skin on for added flavor and texture.
  2. Cook the Greens:

    • Fill a large bowl with ice water and a pinch of salt.
    • Blanch the greens by boiling them for around 10 minutes. The greens should be tender but still vibrant and intact.
    • Once cooked, immediately transfer the greens into the prepared ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve their color and texture.
  3. Grill the Potatoes:

    • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and drizzle in a bit of extra virgin olive oil.
    • Place the sliced potatoes into the pan, grilling them on both sides for approximately 10 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy on the outside.
  4. Warm the Piadine:

    • While the potatoes are grilling, place the flatbreads (piadine) onto a separate pan and warm them for about 2 minutes, flipping them to ensure both sides are slightly toasted and pliable.
  5. Assemble the Piadina:

    • Once all components are ready, lay the warm piadina flat on a cutting board.
    • Spread the cooked greens evenly over half of the piadina. Then, layer the grilled potatoes on top while they’re still warm.
    • Grate some Pecorino cheese generously over the mixture for added flavor.
    • Fold the piadina in half, pressing down lightly to hold everything in place.
  6. Serve:

    • Cut the piadina into portions and serve immediately, enjoying the savory combination of crisp potatoes, aromatic greens, and the rich, melting lardo di Colonnata.

Tips:

  • For an extra kick, feel free to drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of black pepper over the finished piadina before serving.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute lardo with prosciutto or another cured meat of your choice.
