Ingredients
 

  • 1 Fresh onion
  • 2 tbsp Polenta semolina
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 500 ml Vegetable broth *
  • 100 ml Cream
  • 1 tbsp Processed cheese
  • 0,5 tsp Pepper from the grinder
  • 0,5 tsp Sugar
  • 5 stem Fresh smooth parsley
  • 1 ball Mozzarella = 125 g
  • 1 ball Breadcrumbs
  • Fat for frying

Instructions
 

  • Remove the mozzarella from the whey, but do not throw it away. Cut the cheese into cubes and place in the freezer for an hour.
  • Peel and finely dice the onion. Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion and semolina in it. (Like a risotto)
  • Pour in a little hot vegetable stock and let it boil down while stirring constantly. Repeat this until the semolina is soft.
  • Pour in the rest of the broth and the cream - do not let it boil anymore - stir in the processed cheese and season with pepper and sugar. Salt is usually no longer necessary because the vegetable stock contains enough of it.
  • Sort out the parsley, chop finely and stir into the soup.
  • Dip the frozen cheese cubes in the whey and then roll them in the breadcrumbs. Heat the fat in a pan and quickly fry the cheese cubes on all sides. It's pretty quick and if you're not careful the cheese will get soft.
  • Put the soup in preheated plates and garnish with the mozzarella cubes and a parsley leaf.
  • 8 .... because that was a bit poor for my sweetheart, there was another dessert.
  • * from spice mixes: granulated vegetable broth and water
