CHARD AND RICOTTA DUMPLINGS

WITH TASTY AND VEGETARIAN SAUCES

Ingredients for 4 portions:

Boiled and squeezed chard: 500g

Ricotta: 250g

Flour: 180g (I used Molino Chiavazza flour)

Egg: 1

Grated parmesan: 100g

Salt and pepper

Nutmeg

How to do it

1

Wash and cook the chard on a low flame with a pinch of salt. Some minutes later strain, squeeze and chop it.

 

2

In a bowl mix ricotta, chard, flour, parmesan, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

3

Put a pot on with water. When it starts boiling, dunk the dumplings you moulded using 2 spoons.

4

Strain them 1 minute after they surface.

Some tips

–          I prepared two different sauces: browned bacon + grated parmesan and melted butter + sage.

–          My aunt’s secret: replace the chard with boiled zucchini. First try and then trust!
