Malfatti
- Put the quark in a sieve lined with kitchen paper and let it drain well (it should be as dry and crumbly as possible). Wash the spinach, heat it in a saucepan and let it collapse. Then squeeze out as well as possible and cut into small pieces (also works with frozen leaf spinach). Sweat the small onion and garlic in a little butter or oil until translucent. Cottage cheese, spinach, onion, garlic; Mix the egg and spices in a bowl. Mix in the potato flour, semolina and Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Let the mass rest for 10 minutes. In the meantime, bring a saucepan of water to the boil and season the water with plenty of salt. Use two small spoons to form cams from the curd mixture and add to the water. Reduce the heat a little, it shouldn’t boil anymore. Let the malfatti steep. When they float on top they are done, then lift them out of the water with a skimmer and let them drain in a sieve. Before serving, toss the malfatti in a little hot butter.
tomatosoup
- Halve the tomatoes, cut out the stems and cut into small pieces. Finely dice the onion and garlic and sauté in a little butter, add the tomato pieces and season with salt, pepper, sugar and bay leaf. Simmer gently until the tomatoes dissolve. Now briefly puree with the blender, first remove the bay leaf. Strain the soup through a sieve (only necessary if the tomato skins were very hard when they were cut). Add apple juice to the soup. Add a little cream and sour cream (sour cream serves to bind) and mix up again briefly, slightly frothy.
melted tomatoes
- Quarter the cherry tomatoes and caramelize in hot butter with sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serving: Put a ladle of soup in the plate, add a few cherry tomatoes and place the malfatti in the middle. Chop the parsley and basil and sprinkle on top. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan. Finished!
- Malfatti is Italian and means “unsuccessful”, … the better the spinach is cut, the less unsuccessful the Malfatti look … and they really tasted very good!
