\nA couple of weeks ago I had a brief moment of excitement: I found salted, shelled sunflower seeds in a supermarket. You might say: So what? And I say that, just like white asparagus, p\u00e2t\u00e9s, and a few other things I’m too embarrassed to admit I miss, they are products that are hard to find in Rome. When I go to Sabadell, I stock up on these ingredients, though not as generously as I would like. My own paranoia: I wouldn’t want the supermarket staff to think I suffer from some kind of perverse obsession with these specific foods, or to draw too much attention at airport security and have it happen to me like it did to Sofia Loren with the mortadella<\/a>, but in my case, because of industrial quantities of Iberian ham.<\/p>\n

By the way, I said “brief moment of excitement” because the sunflower seeds I happened to find in Rome were garbage, but I still had a few left from the last time I went to Sabadell. I decided to risk it on a somewhat daring invention. Making use of some leftover ricotta that was dying of sadness, a few black olives that were drifting aimlessly, and a tomato that was about to melt into its own juices while stoically giving a thumbs up. Fortunately, it turned out well, and for that reason, I’m sharing it with you, even though it’s not a typical Italian dish. If you want to make it very quickly, use, just as I did, another one of those products I can’t find around here and that I bring back from Sabadell: microwaveable rice cups. We all know that what you can prepare at home is tastier and healthier than any pre-cooked product, but you also have to be realistic. You need to have resources for when there’s no time, you’re tired, or you simply don’t feel like complicating your life.<\/p>\n
