Bring the tomatoes to a quick boil, peel and dice. Peel and clean the shrimps and cut them in pieces. Bring the rocket to a quick boil and let cool immediately in a bowl with ice water. Mix the rocket with oil and garlic until a smooth, creamy texture, like that of pesto. Deep fry the eggplant and leave to rest on paper. Assemble in layers starting with the eggplant, then parmesan cheese, tomatoes, shrimps, mozzarella, and then, finally, the rocket pesto, making a tower. Repeat at least twice (depending on how high of a tower you\u2019d like). Cook in a pre-heated oven 190\u00b0C on the salt bricks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Ilario Zecchini, Executive Chef <a href=\"http:\/\/www.selecthotels.it\/it-IT\/hotel-doge\" target=\"_blank\">Hotel Doge Milano Marittima<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Salt ponds of\u00a0 Cervia, of Etruscan origin, are a remarkable resource for our territory\u2026 this is where the \u201csweet salt\u201d (Sale Dolce), an integral sea salt obtained with artisan methods and defined as &#8220;sweet&#8221; because it lacks bitter chlorides. \u201cWhite Gold\u201d because in the past it was used as Exchange goods and to conserve [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":7643,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1631],"tags":[2712,2717,2744,2745,2746,2747,2748,2749,2750],"class_list":["post-7630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-drink","tag-cervia","tag-saline-di-cervia","tag-sale-dolce","tag-sale","tag-oro-bianco","tag-sapore-di-sale","tag-ricetta-con-mattonella-al-sale","tag-ricetta-con-il-sale-dolce","tag-mattonella-al-sale"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["it","en"],"languages":{"it":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7630"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7630\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7650,"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7630\/revisions\/7650"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
