In three days the World Cup starts and everybody in Puglia is getting ready for it with lots of good luck rituals!
You may know that in Southern Italy we are very superstitious.
I and Marika will make this simple and delicious recipe to support our Italian team!
It is made with rice, potatoes, zucchini and tomatoes.
We chose this recipe because it has the Italian flag colors (white, green and red). We chose a blue plate like our Italian team’s t-shirt! We chose it because it also because it is a very simple Italian recipe. We make it very often and we love it!
The deal is that if we win the first match on June 14th, I and Marika will be making and eating rice, zucchini and tomatoes on all the following matches …..until the final on July 11th!
