🍴 Ultimo appuntamento Social Food: i sapori di Camerun e Costa d’Avorio!

Il viaggio culinario di Social Food è giunto al termine. Il 29 giugno la polpetteria Rumori ha ospitato il quinto e ultimo laboratorio sociale e culinario.

La serata ha fatto conoscere alla cittadinanza i piatti tradizionali del Camerun e della Costa d’Avorio. I protagonisti della serata?

🍲 Il Ndolé (Camerun): un piatto a base di foglie di Ndolé (una pianta locale dal retrogusto amaro) che vengono cotte e abbinate a una crema di arachidi fresche macinate, spezie e gamberi saltati.
🍚L'Attiéké (Costa d'Avorio): semolino di manioca fermentata e grattugiata, simile al couscous, Patrimonio Immateriale dell'Umanità UNESCO. Il riconoscimento ne premia la produzione artigianale, tramandata dalle donne ivoriane, come simbolo di identità culturale ed emancipazione femminile. Per l'occasione è stato servito accompagnato dal pesce.

Promosso dall’Ambito Territoriale Sociale del Comune di Vicenza e sostenuto da Fondazione Cariverona, Social Food ha unito inclusione e formazione professionale nella ristorazione. Con la collaborazione di ALDA+, ICS e il Terzo Settore, il cibo è diventato strumento di incontro e integrazione. 🌍

Grazie a tutti i ristoranti, ai partner, alle cuoche e ai cittadini che hanno partecipato a questa rassegna di inclusione e scambio culturale!
