Title: SHEFTALIA (BARBEQUE SAUSAGES)
Categories: Greek, Meats, Bar-b-q
Yield: 50 servings

Karen Mintzias
500 g Finely ground fatty pork
500 g Finely ground veal or lamb
1 lg Onion; finely chopped
-or- grated
1/2 c Finely chopped parsley
2 ts Salt
250 g Panna (caul fat from pig)

Combine pork with veal or lamb, onion, parsley, salt
and a generous grinding of black pepper.
Dip panna into a bowl of warm water for a minute or
two, remove and carefully open out a piece at a time,
laying it out flat on work surface. Cut with kitchen
scissors into pieces about 10 cm (4 inches) square.
Take a good tablespoon of meat mixture and shape into
a thick sausage about 5 cm (2 inches) long. Place
towards one edge of piece of panna, fold end and sides
over meat and roll up firmly. Repeat with remaining
ingredients. Thread sausages on flat sword-like
skewers, leaving space between them. Number on each
skewer depends on their length. Cook over glowing
charcoal, turning frequently. Do not place too close
to heat as sheftalia must cook fairly slowly so that
the inside is well cooked and the outside nicely
browned without being burnt. The panna melts during
cooking, keeping the meat moist and adding flavour.
Excessive flaring of fire can be controlled by a
sprinkle of water on the coals. Serve sheftalia as an
appetizer or a main course.

CALABRIAN ASPARAGUS SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Vegetarian

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Clove garlic – minced
2 tb Olive oil – extra-virgin
2 lb Asparagus – trimmed and cut
-into 1-inch pieces
2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly ground pepper
4 c Vegetable Broth – (see
-recipe) OR canned low-
Sodium chicken broth
4 Eggs
1/2 c Parmesan – fresly grated OR
-Pecorino, PLUS extra
For serving
6 sl Italian bread – toasted

Number of Servings: 6

1. In a large saucepan, cook the garlic in the olive
oil over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until
golden, about 3 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook
until bright green, about 5 minutes. Add the salt,
pepper and Vegetable Broth and bring to a boil. Reduce
the heat to moderately low and simmer until the
asparagus are tender, about 15 minutes.

2. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with 1/2 cup of the
cheese. Reduce the heat to low so that the soup is no
longer simmering, and very slowly ladle about 2 cups
of the hot soup into the beaten eggs, whisking
constantly. Once incorporated, gradually stir the egg
mixture into the soup in the saucepan. Increase the
heat to moderately low and cook the soup, whisking
constantly, until it just thickens, about 8 minutes.
Do not allow the soup to boil or the eggs will curdle.
Remove from the heat.

3. Place one slide of toasted bread into each soup
bowl. Ladle the hot soup on top and serve with
additional grated cheese.

Serves 6.

NOTE: Thickening soup with bread is typical of rustic
Italian cooking, in which nothing goes to waste. The
toasts may be made from day-old or slightly stale
bread. Serve with a Sauvignon Blanc.

NOTES : “Pappardelle is my pasta of choice for this and many other savory
dishes. It is a long, inch-wide flat pasta. Smaller shapes like fusilli or
penne are excellent too. A sure bet for a quick dinner, this recipe takes 20
minutes from start to finish.” — Lynn Fischer
“This sauce is rich and creamy. Serve as the second course with Italian bread.”
