This small section of Italy is made up of very proud people who will use only what is available to them in their own little region.  Since the region cannot grow rice, they ignore it in their cuisine.  Since they do not have milk cows, they refrain from using butters and milks in their dishes, and use olive oil in their desserts.  Located on the sea, they do have a varied diet of fish.  Soups with various vegetables and greens are also very common in this region.  They will have rabbit in their diets, and lamb, veal, and tripe are also available to them. The most recognizable city in this region is the port of Genova. This is also the home of the beautiful coastal area known as the Italian Riviera.  Menu:  Farinata ~ Chick Pea Round Loaf ~ a flavorful bread of seasoned chickpea flour with extra virgin olive oil and thinly sliced onions, oven baked and served warm ● Torta di Bieta Alla Genovese ~ Stuffed Chard Tart ~ seasoned sautéed swiss chard with eggs, extra virgin olive oil, soft cheese, and parmigiana, layered between homemade layers of thin dough, then oven baked and topped with more grated cheese ● Tonno Alla Genovese ~ Tuna Steaks Genova Style ~ fresh tuna steaks seasoned and pan sautéed in a rich sauce of mushrooms, garlic, parsley, white wine and extra virgin olive oil, finished off in an oven and topped with the sauce, butter, and fresh lemon juice ● Castagnaccio ~ Ancient Chestnut Torte ~ a round, oven-baked chestnut batter, topped with raisins, pine nuts, and anise seed.  This is a very old recipe that used to be made on open hearths and wooden pyres.
