Wait!

Don’t shudder and get goose bumps just yet.

I know.. the sound of this dish is rather geli kan? Yam sauce? In baked rice with cheese?!?!

Doesn’t sound very convincing, does it? Trust me, i had the exact same sentiment as you too! I was very skeptical initially… But oh my my my, just wait till you try it….

If you were to ask me, i would give this dish 2 thumbs up. The baked rice is simply sensational! I could eat bowls of it without the pork and errrr..  i did (ooppss! *cups face*). Creamy, yummy yam-my, cheesy + egg fried rice… it’s WOW alright. MMmmm… and i was supposed to cut down on my carbs! Hmmmpphhhhhh! *stares down at the spare tyre and sighs*

For the record, i love yam, which also known as taro. So, i could be biased….

However.

If you like yam or yam rice, you MUST give this a go.

But ermm.. be prepared for the extra double chin or the bulging tummy the next morning. Don’t say i didn’t warn ya! ;)

Spinach & Ricotta Dumplings with Prawns & Mushrooms in Cream Reduction

homecooking 23 Responses »
Feb 212011

When i first laid my eyes on John’s first picture for this entry of his, i was sold.

I knew i HAD to make these dumplings. Just the sound of it — Spinach and Ricotta Dumplings — could get me go wild! I’m a gnocchi lover. When i learned that these dumplings were somewhat similar to gnocchi, i went wilder!

Unfortunately, i couldn’t make these dumplings much earlier. But hey, it’s better late than never right? ^_^

Verdict : I. LOVE. IT!!!!

Seriously, these dumplings rock! I could eat these again and again and will never get bored of it. Because the cream reduction (flavoured mostly from the prawns) goes so well with the dumplings, i cut each and every one of the dumplings into tiny pieces and mop it around the plate to coat it with the cream before popping it into my mouth. Not too long after that, everyone started to follow suit. Hee!

Truly, this dish is unforgettable. Methinks this is one of the few rare times that my mouth would actually water (yes, i’m so drooling right now! :P) while doing a food post! HAhaha! Guess i’ll be cooking this again very soon aye?!

Spinach & Ricotta Dumplings with Prawns & Mushrooms in Cream

(adapted from heneedsfood.com)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bunch English spinach, washed, trimmed & chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 500 g fresh ricotta
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ plain flour, ½ cup extra for rolling (i ended up using 1 cup plain flour, ½ cup extra for rolling, all because i added water while cooking the spinach ; see method below)
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 75 g butter
  • 20 green prawns, peeled, deveined, tails on
  • 1 packet of shimeiji mushrooms, washed & cut
  • 1 cup cream

Method

  1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add spinach and garlic and cook until the spinach wilts and pan juices evaporate. (DO NOT ADD WATER) Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add ricotta, mix until combined and set aside to cool. Beat in eggs and flour and season well.

  1. Using just over 1 tbsp ricotta mixture per dumpling, form the mixture into little quenelles. Lightly roll in flour and shake off excess. Place on a floured plate or one lined with baking paper.
  2. Cook dumplings, in batches, in a large saucepan of boiling water for two minutes or till they float. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.

  1. Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the dumplings and cook, turning occasionally, until golden.

  1. Transfer the dumplings to a warm plate.
  2. In the same frying pan add the prawns. Cook on both sides of the prawns for a couple of minutes but never let it cooks completely. You won’t want the prawns to overcook.  Saute the mushrooms before stirring in cream. Season. Turn off fire just when the cream starts to thicken. Spoon the cream, prawns and mushrooms to the dumplings and serve immediately.

*note to self : smaller quenelles next time, using teaspoon.

Mozzarella en Carrozza

snacks No Responses »
Sep 032009

A fine snack which i replicated from Casa Verde during our visit on the rainy Sunday…

For the boys’ lunch :)

MeC2

Again, i used what i could find in the house.

At Casa Verde, mozzarrella, cooked ham and anchovy were sandwiched in between before pan frying it in olive oil – i fried mine in butter. More fragant! ^.^

I omitted the lovely anchovy because i currently didn’t stock any and also the cooked ham. In place, i sandwiched the sliced cheese sausage instead together with the mozzarella cheese.

MeC1

Personally, i like both versions, very much depending who i’m eating with.

Of course, having the anchovy inside would be most ideal as it lends its saltiness to every single bite.

Yums!

But i guess if you’re a tad conscious on your sodium intake or preparing this for the kids, omitting the anchovy would be advisable. For myself, i don’t quite like the idea of having the kids consuming salty-ish food :P

Anchovy or not, the melted cheese is definitely the highlight in this simple-but-yet-so-delectable-snack!

Do give this a try if you like!

——————————————————————————————-

Mozzarella en Carrozza

  • 12 slices firm white sandwich bread
  • 1/4 cup drained bottled capers, chopped
  • 6 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Divide capers among 12 bread slices and spread evenly. Divide mozzarella among 6 slices and sprinkle with pepper to taste. Make into 6 sandwiches, then cut off and discard crusts to form 3-inch squares.

Coat sandwiches with flour, knocking off excess. Beat together eggs, milk, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in another small shallow bowl.

Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides. Meanwhile, coat 3 sandwiches, 1 at a time, with egg mixture. Fry, turning over once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes, then drain on paper towels. Coat and fry remaining 3 sandwiches in same manner.

Cut sandwiches into quarters and serve immediately.

Recipe can be found here.

Hope you will love it as much as i do! :D

pssstt : i never follow any recipe. just sandwich anything you fancy and then pan fry it like normal french toast will do! *wink*
