A recipe from my home town. Flat bread stuffed with beetle spinach.
For the filling: Put olive in oil in a pan with very thin slices of garlic. Then add tomato sauce and leaves of beetle spinach. Close the pan with a lid.
When the beetle spinach is cooked, add slices of boiled potato. Add salt.
For the bread: In a bowl, a glass of water, a teaspoon of olive oil, a spoon of sunflower oil. Add some salt and a pinch of baking soda.
Stir well. Then add slowly 200 gr. of semolina flour. Form a dough. Put in the freezer for half a hour.
I have no idea of the real name in English. We call it bietola. It's a Mediterranean plant that looks like Spinach with huge leaves. Very tasty.What is beetle spinach, I've never heard of it and a Google only returns beetles that attack spinach

In my country it is difficult to find raw corn .
Corn is usually sold cooked and canned.
A recipe I invented.
To boil some corn adding salt, EV olive oil, apple vinegar, oregano, thyme, chili pepper.
To boil it until the water has almost disappeared.
Then putting it in the fridge. Adding lettuce leaves. And tomato slices. It is a fresh corn salad. Very good.
That's interesting.Its really funny here, about 20km away is a whole plane of farms growing corn. We can go to a farm and buy a few kilos, some people just stop at the sude of the road and pick what they need.
Yet we can't buy it on the cob in the shops
I do the similar but without the apple cider vinegar, thought it I'd invented it
That's intetesting.
I have always seen that in American movies people eat corn from the cob.
That's pretty cool.
I live in Iowa, the state in the US most known for growing corn. If you go outside the city(and that's easy to do, most of our cities are not big) all you see is fields and fields of corn, as far as the eye can see.
Though only 5% of that corn is for human consumption. It goes mostly for ethanol and cattle feed.
