\nSo continuing on my trip through Amalfi and filming of the first episode of my new PBS TV show.. the story I want to share today comes from the little town of Cetara.. a fisherman\u2019s village and a little gem on the Amalfi Coast. one of the towns we stopped in..Here is where I discovered an ingredient that comes from the ancient Romans but still exists here..the liquid the Romans made was called Garum..here in Cetara they call it Colatura di alici.. One of the\u00a0 ancient cookbook authors Pliny referred to Garum as \u2018an exquisite liquor\u2019.\u00a0 Modern day Worcestershire sauce does contain anchovies so the ancient Romans were definitely on to something with this sauce.
\nNow for those of you that have never dined with the ancient Romans, ( I\u2019m guessing that is all of us) garum or colatura is a tasty liquid that is made up of anchovies that have been cured in layers of salt for 8-9 months.\u00a0 It is an anchovy sauce and no one does it better than the residents of Cetara.\u00a0 For them it is a passion. The process of making the colatura di alici\u00a0 is handed down from generations of families here, from the\u00a0 wooden barrel that the anchovies are cured in to the recipe to the type of anchovy that is used. It is more than just a sauce in Cetara it is a tradition. it is meant to be a seasoning not to be used as a sauce on its\u2019 own.
\nOne of the local chefs who helped prepare an \u2018oh-so-delicious\u2019 pasta\u00a0 dish with this sauce is a local chef who just happens to own one of the best restaurants there-Franco
\nYou can catch a clip of Franco making a pasta dish with the colatura sauce in this trailer..The full episode will be airing later in 2014 on PBS. Contact your local PBS station to find out dates and times
\nthe show\u00a0 The Basic Art of Italian Cooking by Maria Liberati tm<\/strong> will be airing.
\nClose your eyes and pretend you are now in the beautiful paradise known as Amalfi and enjoy this clip
