SCAMMARO OMELETTE, Neapolitan recipe, eggless, simple and delicious for Lent, a first dish of spaghetti in a pan, quick and tasty.
A real delicacy. If you don’t know spaghetti allo scammaro you can see the recipe HERE the scammaro omelette is most likely a dish born to reuse leftover spaghetti.
The recipe of the scammaro omelette has ancient origins, created by Ippolito Cavalcanti and the Duke of Buonvicino, a Neapolitan gastronome, the idea was of a dish that could be good during Lent and that was eggless.
The dish is very simple, a seasoning that includes black olives, pine nuts, capers, and anchovies, very tasty.
The word scammaro comes from the dialect and means “lean” without animal fats, therefore also without eggs.
During Lent only sick monks were allowed to eat meat in their rooms, the room in Neapolitan dialect is called “cammera,” so jokingly this term “cammerare” was used to mean “eating fat.”
For everyone else it was “scammerrare” that is “eating without fat” (news here)
The dish is simple and very good, fried again in the pan without eggs even better.
