Tired of the same old, same old for breakfast. If you are then you should try this instead. It is a combination of foods that will flirt, titillate and satiate your taste buds. It is perfect for a leisurely Sunday morning experience . That will keep everyone at the breakfast table enjoying and talking about the day ahead. Commonly consumed in southern European countries it is one of nutritional value and a wonderful change. From the usual, eggs bacon or ham, or pancakes and sausage.
This is what I would recommend
Sardines, actually anchovies, The ones that are packed in salt and used to sit open on a counter in your local Italian deli. You can purchase them at any Italian Salumeria "worth it's salt". Since then they are packed in smaller quantities . You would have to clean them under cold running water and take out the small delicate bone.Cleaning off the salt and the inside of the small herring like fish. Place them in a dish and drizzle olive oil over them and fresh lemon cut up into quarters or eights. Along the sides of the plate.
Instead of Orange or other fruit juice try:
Fresh California navel oranges that you peel and separate by sections. Sprinkle some oregano and salt and pepper and drizzle some oil over them. Place in the frig to chill .
Get some good olives of any kind. Large green Sicilian olives are great. But black Greek ones do the trick just as well.
A good asiago cheese or sharp provalone is then placed at the table. Grapes, white or red go along with the variety of foods that supply this breakfast with a touch of class. They go along wonderfully with a nicely crusted Italian bread. Bread and grapes are a great combination and are almost like a dessert.
With all of that a strong cup of espresso coffee. To sip and enjoy. Close your eyes and you are sitting beside a vineyard or on the Mediterranean.
