5 New Ways to Enjoy Traditional Panettone

Jon Langford · November 30, 2015 ·

One of our favorite things about the holiday season here at FreshDirect is feasting on panettone. Happily, our friend and esteemed food historian, Francine Segan, shares this sentiment too! After discovering our mutual passion for panettone, Francine sent us her five favorite ways to enjoy this traditional Italian cake.

Panettone

Panettone making follows an extraordinarily elaborate and time-consuming process—taking over 40 hours. It’s kneaded and left to rise several times before baking, with flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and candied fruit added in stages. Finally, once each cake has been allowed to rise in its own little panettone paper container, it’s baked, cooled, wrapped in plastic, packed up by hand, and sent on its way. Although delicious on its own, here are five creative ways to take panettone to the next level:

1) Panettone Panini
Toast, slather with Falanga’s Sicilian almond or pistachio cream. Or, fill slices with chopped dark chocolate and toast in panini press.

2) Panettone Bread Pudding
Layers of panettone, beaten eggs, cream, sugar, dollops jam, mascarpone, chopped chocolate and/or fruit. Bake at 350°F until set.

3) Panettone “Bellini”
In serving glass, layer slices panettone, splash prosecco or Asti Spumante, peaches, chocolate, whipped cream. Top with pretty sugar and almonds, if you like.

4) Ice Cream Cake
Hollow panettone, fill with ice cream, freeze. Serve with your favorite toppings. Use the center for above desserts.

5) Caramelized Panettone
Melt butter in skillet. Sprinkle panettone with grappa and sugar on both sides, fry, flip, serve warm.

When you're looking for somehing new to revive your palate after all that holiday eating, try @seafoodfromnorway_us's receipt for Norwegian Salmon with Hot Honey Glaze. Link in bio to shop ingredients

What you'll need:
1 - 8 ounce Norwegian salmon fillet, skinned, deboned and divided into two 4 ounce fillets
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
¼ cup honey
½ teaspoon sambal
1 tablespoon sliced red or green chilies

What you'll do:
1. In a heavy bottom sauce pan over medium high heat, add honey, sambal and chilies. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and set aside. The longer the honey sits the more flavor the chilies release.
2. In the meantime, pat salmon dry and season with salt, coriander, smoked paprika and fresh cracked pepper.
3. Add oil to a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add salmon to the pan, presentation side down.
4. Cook the salmon for four minutes; flip and cook for another three minutes. Top salmon with glaze while in pan, to coat each filet.
5. Transfer to serving plates, top with more chili sauce, serve with brussels sprouts or your favorite vegetable, if desired.
