Preserving the Italian Way calendar of authentic Italian recipes

Join us each month as we celebrate Preserving the Italian Way with a free recipe. The author Pietro Demaio has matched the months and seasons with recipes from the book so you can get the best results all throughout the year.

This month, we’re celebrating red capsicums. Around April or May, when capsicums are at their reddest and cheapest and becoming a little dry, buy a box at your greengrocer or market to make this excellent paste of many uses, the preferred one being for Calabrese Salami.
