Instructions:
-
Prepare the Lemon Zest:
Using a vegetable peeler, peel thin strips of lemon zest, taking care not to get too much of the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside. -
Caramelize the Lemon Zest:
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the lemon zest to the pan. Allow the mixture to cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the zest is well-coated and slightly softened, remove it from the pan using tongs or a slotted spoon and place it on a tray lined with parchment paper to cool. -
Make the Yogurt Sauce:
In a tall glass or mixing cup, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, and extra virgin olive oil. Use an immersion blender to blend everything together until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pink peppercorns to taste, then set aside. -
Heat the Piadina:
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the piadina in the pan and cook each side for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. -
Assemble the Piadina:
Once the piadina is heated, begin by spreading a handful of rocket (arugula) on the base of each flatbread. Layer the smoked salmon slices over the greens. Drizzle generously with the yogurt sauce, and top with extra rocket. Finally, garnish with the caramelized lemon zest for an added burst of sweetness and tang. -
