Not the prettiest but it was delicious! Gnocchi friti with pork belly, St. Agur blue cheese, figs in red wine, pistachio & fine herbs
I think it looks very pretty. ![]()
To fry the gnocchi, do you just put it in a skillet w/ a little oil until it’s your desired level of browned?
I think the only fried pasta I had was at Campanile, and I really liked it.
Yes, exactly!
Stifado - beef chuck braised with onion, garlic, plenty of pearl onions, tomato passata, red wine, red wine vinegar, sugar, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, walnuts, cranberries and feta. Served with orzo pasta
Gnocchi are dumplings so it’s normal to fry them.
I’m not sure I’ve ever had fried pasta other than deep-fried American mac-and-cheese balls and paella di fideos.
Kenji’s Bolognese sauce which is the very best I’ve ever had. Make it by the potful and freeze in two cup portions.
Old fashioned chicken soup - cooked the chicken together with onions, carrots and chili to make the chicken broth. Later added broccoli, peppers, carrots, chicken meat, chili and ginger.
Variation on Mango Masala Curry with sweet potatoes, mango (not too ripe to make it not too sweet and have some sourness ), onions, garlic, curry powder, garam masala, cumin, curry leaves, black mustard seeds, coconut milk, cashew nuts
Yep, so do pandan leaves. Got a little happy during the lockdown then found myself with a lot of ingredients I don’t use on a regular basis. I learned what does and doesn’t freeze well. ![]()
I think it’s very pretty.
Corn Chowder with Cod - cod, fresh corn, bacon, red pepper, onion, garlic, thyme cooked in vegetable broth and milk
Where’s that private jet when I need it?!?!? That looks and sounds incredible! Wow.
Orecchiette with mushroom ragu (button, shiitake, oyster mushrooms, red pepper, onion, garlic, baked savory tofu (no smoked tofu available today), baharat, parsley, almonds, mushroom broth and heavy cream)
Arayes (Lebanese filled pita dough) - dough made with AP flour, dry yeast, water, salt, olive oil. Filled with a mixture of ground chicken, onions, garlic , diced tomatoes, cumin seeds, caraway seeds, cinnamon and mascarpone and topped with egg yolk and nigella seeds. Served with Moroccan inspired carrots - steamed carrots mixed with olive oil, vinegar, paprika, ground cumin, cinnamon and parsley and marinated for a few hours
No interior shot??? ![]()
Sounds delicious.
Once we started eating we total forgot the interior shot
How do you cook the dumplings?
You bake them in the oven (as you would do with pita dough)
Thanks. They look and sound so good.
