Josper-grilled fresh malloreddus pasta with clams

When we talk about our Josper Oven we think of the embers, charcoal cooking, and perfectly grilled meat or vegetables. But we can cook so much more with a Josper! Seafood, rice, foie gras, mushrooms— every day we get images via Twitter or Facebook of incredible dishes cooked in the Josper oven, and are surprised by their diversity and originality.

That’s why today we’re presenting this fantastic recipe by Francesco Mazzei: malloreddus with clams. It is a pasta dish using fresh pasta cooked in the Josper grill, with the simplicity and authenticity of Italian cuisine. Francesco Mazzei, from Calabria, is the chef at L’Anima in London, considered one of the best Italian restaurants in the country.

Francesco is into pure Italian cuisine, which he himself defines as “the cuisine of the mamma with a chef’s touch— that was the idea behind L’Anima”. And in this traditional way of cooking he finds the JOSPER oven “a great machine” because it does not use gas, nor electricity— it is a charcoal oven.
