Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 Heads Garlic, Fresh
1/4 c Olive Oil
1 md Onion, Cut up up
2 Celery Ribs, Cut Up
1 c White Wine, Dry
1/4 c All-Purpose Flour
1 ga Chicken Stock
1 md Potato, Peeled And Cut Up
1 c Whipping Cream
10 Basil Leaves, Fresh,
– Chopped
5 Sprigs Thyme Leaves, Fresh
2 ts Salt
ts White Pepper
1/2 ts Tabasco
1 t Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves, Sliced Very
– Thin, For Garnish

1. Cut two of the garlic heads in half across and
remove the papery outer skin. Put these cut side down
on a very hot surface – a griddle or black iron
skillet – until they’re black. Peel all the garlic
completely. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan
and saute the onions, celery, and the garlic until
lightly browned at the edges. Add the wine and bring
to a boil. 3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir the pot
thoroughly, but don’t let it brown. Add the chicken
stock, 1/2 gallon water, and the potato. Whisk about
the pot well and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid
simmer and cook for about an hour and 15 minutes. 4.
Strain out the solids from the soup, and puree them in
a blender or food processor, along with enough broth
to ease things along. Return the puree to the soup and
restore the boil. Add the whipping cream, basil,
thyme, salt, pepper and Tabasco. 5. Heat the extra
virgin olive oil in a skillet very hot. In it toast
the slivers of garlic until brown around the outside.
6 Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with roasted
garlic slivers. Float a toasted, garlic-buttered slice
of French bread on top. Serves eight to twelve.
Suggested wine: Marinasco Chef Andrea Apuzzo writes of
this recipe in his book “La Cucina di Andrea’s”,
“Garlic wears many hats. Most people think of it in
its aggressive, green, aromatic, sharp form. But when
garlic is cooked slowly for a long time, it takes on a
sweet nuttiness that is every bit as interesting as
its more raw flavors. The sweet side of garlic is
exemplified by this soup.” Andrea’s Restaurant 3100

MALFATTI CHEESE AND SPINACH DUMPLINGS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cheese/eggs

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 lb Spinach
Salt
2 c Ricotta
2 Eggs
1 1/2 c Freshly grated parmesan
Pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
Flour
6 tb Butter, melted

Wash the spinach and remove the stems. In a large pan with the lid
on, steam the leaves with a little salt in the water that clings to them,
turning them over, until they crumple. Strain and squeeze every bit of
water out with your hands: this is all-important and is the secret of
success (otherwise the dumplings would fall apart). Finely chop the leaves
Mash the ricotta and stir in the eggs, half the parmesan, salt,
pepper, nutmeg and spinach. Work very well, shape into balls the size of a
walnut and roll in flour.
Fill a large saucepan halfway with water, bring to the boil and very
carefully drop in the dumplings. Keep the water barely simmering until the
rise to the surface – they do so very quickly.
Lift them out very carefully with a slotted spoon and serve very hot
with melted butter and the remaining parmesan.
