Menu: An Evening in Corsica

The mountainous island of Corsica is home to a cuisine that's equal parts Alpine, Mediterranean, French and Italian—and all its own. Inspired by David McAninch's article Pleasure Island, this menu features the kind of sturdy, flavorful food that's typical there: cannelloni and swiss chard dumplings, a rustic lemon-scented cheesecake, and more, all paired with our favorite Corsican wines.

More About This Menu

For some traditional music to accompany dinner, check out our Evening in Corsica playlist »
The cannelloni can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake�reserve the cheese for the top and add it just before it goes in the oven.
Corsica has a number of fantastic wines made with indigenous grapes, and they're getting easier to find in the States. For a few of our favorite bottles to pair with your meal, see Native Wines »
The key to a perfect roast pork loin is rolling and tying it. Watch executive food editor Todd Coleman demonstrate how to do it in this video »
The cheesecake is traditionally made with brocciu, a fresh goat's or ewe's milk cheese, but you can subsitute ricotta if brocciu is hard to find.

We prepared most of the menu, as well as some other dishes, from this Dinner Party Menu for our first 2012 Summer Concerts in the Park Culinary Challenge. The Cannelloni is amazing, especially if you take the time to make fresh pasta! Here's the blog post: http://www.newfinmysoup.blogspot.com/2012/05/coronado-concerts-in-park-evening-in.html
