#74 Capon maro Genovese (Liguria)

Cappon magro isn’t a recipe people explain, it’s one they insist on, especially at Christmas. In Genoa it was born from fasting rules and port habits: preserved fish, vegetables, and careful layering turned into something structured and complete.

You can find the full story with recipe, method and tips soon on my Substack. (Link in bio)

  1. Wow thank you for featuring our amazing capon magro! It's really good but also a real pain in the ass to make ahah 😅

  2. Bel video però ogni tanto c'è un motivo valido per quale certe cose vengono dimenticate

  3. Lo faccio tutti i Natali, metto anche uno strato di cozze senza guscio, i muscoli. È un classico che non tramonta, buonissimo e richiestissimo

  4. Mamma mia. I tuoi video sono diventati un must! Utilizzerò alcune di queste ricette per Natale. Continua così perché è un piacere guardarti cucinare e…. aspetto il ricettario!!! (So che ci stai lavorando… non sarà il mio regalo per questo Natale, ma magari lo chiedo a Santa Lucia l'anno prossimo!!!)

  5. With a better look, this certainly wouldn't be forgotten. Visually, it's "interesting" to say the least, but I believe that's also what makes it interesting in the real meaning of the word😅

  6. this is one step away from being a 1950s American jello mold dish. i'm sure the flavors are great but the presentation probably also explains why it stayed a local dish (and not memed into oblivion like the jello casseroles did here)
