Blueprint For Wooden Catapult

Flowers in walnut sauce with provolone

I know that the flowers in the middle of winter is not that they are best placed, but what can I do? I like:) And then we say that even with this mixture as you do not worship them. Based on the history of this recipe, though. It 's a mixed region, to say il vero. Le ricette dei tortelli (che a me sono diventati fiorellini) e del sughetto le ho prese da "Le ricette di Osterie d'Italia" di Slow Food. I tortelli con questo ripieno di provolone sono preparati nelle zone del Cremonese, dove ha sede il consorzio di tutela di questo squisito formaggio. Il condimento classico per servirli prevedeva scalogno, burro e salvia. Ma siccome "A Natale puoi.. (come canta la nota bambina)" ecco che ne ho stravolto il condimento, servendoli, invece, con una salsina di noci, preparata, nel genovese, per condirvi dei pansotti di erbette. Se poi ci aggiungiamo che a preparare i fiorellini c'era una napoletana, direi che il miscuglio regionale è bello che fatto ;)

INGREDIENTI
For flowers

600g flour 6 eggs For the filling


200g spicy provolone provolone
200g fresh ricotta 400g


2 eggs salt, pepper and nutmeg

For the sauce 200g walnuts
walnuts

50g pine nuts 1 clove garlic
the crumb of bread soaked in milk
half cup of cream
few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil salt


PREPARATION
for the flowers. Mix eggs with flour and put the dough to rest. Meanwhile prepare the filling, chop the two types of provolone, and add the ricotta, eggs, pepper, nutmeg and salt (the latter regulator taste a little of the filling. I for example I did not add salt, because it seemed already so tasty). Roll out the dough and cut out the flowers, which fills stuffed with provolone.

For the sauce. Crush the pine nuts, walnuts and garlic. Then add the bread sandwich, cream, oil and a pinch of salt.

At this point, and cook the flowers when they are ready, cook them in a pan with the sauce (the original recipe of the sauce remained pansotti stipulated that "raw", then that is not fried, but the presence of the cream left me perplexed and I decided, therefore, give him a little salto in padella)
