For baby_froggy_69



Panzarotti


dough
2 1/2 cups flour
Water
A walnut-sized chunk of rendered lard or unsalted butter
Salt

filling:
8 ounces ricotta
2 ounces smoked provolone (optional)
Abundant minced parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 pound fresh mozzarella
1/4 pound prosciutto or Italian salami
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano
1 or 2 eggs
Make the pasta, using just enough water to form the dough, and let it rest, covered, for an hour.

Put the ricotta through a strainer, then combine it with the eggs and parsley, grate some pepper into it, and beat well, until the mixture is creamy.

Dice the mozzarella and provolone, and finely dice the prosciutto. Combine the ingredients with the ricotta mixture; the filling should be firm but creamy.

Roll the pasta out dime thin, keeping the sheet rectangular if possible. Lay out a row of small walnut-sized chunks of filling an inch from the straightest edge of the sheet, separating them about 2 1/2 inches apart. Fold the sheet over the blebs and tamp it down well all around them so it sticks, then use the edge of a glass or a serrated pasta wheel to cut the panzerotti free in the shape of a half moon. Put the completed panzerotti on a lightly floured surface and repeat the operation; you can either reform the cuttings into a ball and roll them out anew or twist them into fanciful shapes and fry them too when you fry the panzerotti.

When you are done making the panzerotti heat the oil and fry them, a few at a time, until golden brown. Drain them well on absorbent paper and serve at once.






Cheese and Ham Panzarotti


Dough:
1 2/3 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg yolk
A little milk, as needed

Filling:
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, chopped
2 ounces prosciutto, cut in slivers
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Pinch nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 eggs, beaten with a little water
Fat for deep frying, (half oil and half lard)

Sift the flour with the salt onto a board in a mound, hollow out the center, and pour in the butter and egg yolk. Work the flour into the liquid with the fingers, adding a little milk from time to time, as needed, to make a smooth, well-blended, firm dough. Wrap it in a clean cloth and let it rest for half an hour. Then put the dough on a lightly floured board, roll it out, and fold it over on itself twice. Wrap it in the cloth again and let it rest while you prepare the filling.

Put the chopped mozzarella, prosciutto, grated Parmesan cheese, and parsley in a bowl; season with the salt, freshly ground black pepper, and nutmeg. Add the eggs, and blend thoroughly.

Divide the dough in half and roll out two sheets, each 1/8 inch thick. Brush one sheet with beaten egg and space small heaps of the filling on it 1 1/2 inches apart. Brush the second sheet with beaten egg and lay it over the first sheet. Press the fingers on the dough all around the spots of filling. Then, with a pastry wheel, cut out squares, each containing a knob of filling. Press the edges of each square down again to make sure that none of the filling escapes during the cooking. As you finish the panzarotti, line them up on a lightly floured cloth, taking care that they do not touch each other.

Heat the fat in a deep fryer or skillet to 375 degrees.

Dip the panzarotti into the beaten egg and drop them at once into the hot fat. Remove them with a slotted spoon after about 6 minutes. They should be crisp and golden. Drain on an absorbent paper. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and serve at once. Serves 6.

Optional filling ingredient: Add 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, diced and drained, to the filling for an extra special sweet, tart and flavorful panzarotti.

Serving suggestion: Serve the panzarotti on a bed of marinara sauce and garnish with fresh chopped parsley flakes and Parmesan cheese chips.





Panzarotti Fried Cheese-Filled Crescents


DOUGH:
2 1/4 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Plus
3 tb Butter
Salt
1 Egg yolk

FILLING:
4 oz Mozzarella
3 oz Cooked ham
2 Eggs
1/2 c Grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch of nutmeg
2 tb Chopped parsley
2 Eggs, beaten
Oil for frying


Sift the flour into a mound, make a well in the center and add the butter, cut into pieces, a pinch of salt and an egg yolk. Mix together, kneading and gradually adding sufficient water to obtain a smooth elastic dough. Shape into a ball, cover and leave to stand in a cool place for at least 1/2 hour. Roll out, folding the dough over on to itself a few times, as if making flaky pastry, then roll out into a thin sheet. Cut into circles about 3 inches in diameter. Dice the Mozzarella, cut the ham into pieces and place in a bowl with the 2 whole eggs, grated Parmesan, pinch of nutmeg and chopped parsley. Mix well, then spoon a little into the center of each circle. Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold over and press gently. Heat plenty of oil in a skillet. When hot, dip the crescents in beaten egg and then fry, a few at a time, until golden brown and puffed up. Drain well on paper towles and serve piping hot





Panzarotti


250 gr plain flour
a little butter

100 g ricotta
150 g ham or salame
50 g grated cheese
1 egg

Make the dough with the flour a little butter (teaspoon) some salt
and enough warm water to get a dough not too soft and not too hard
(I know it is vague but I cannot be more specific), work the dough
for 1/2 hour or use a food processor. Let it rest for 1 hr. Cut
the ham or salame into little cubes, mix it with the ricotta, the
grated cheese and the egg. Roll the dough thin and cut it into
large stripes to fold over. Put the filling and fold the dough and
cut in big ravioli shapes. Fry the panzarotti, few at the time, in
a lot of very hot oil.
