Pour all the ingredients in a bowl or a glass container and knead. In the meanwhile, boil a lightweight chicken broth. Prepare the morbidelle using 2 spoons, with subsequent movements of one spoon into the other to get the peculiar “à chenél” shape, like an elongated dumpling. As they are ready, pour the mobidelle into the broth and cook for 6/8 minutes. Place in the plate radially, 5/6 morbidelle per serving. Pour the Montasio sauce to taste, and then serve.

POTATO DUMPLINGS WITH MONTASIO ON A LEAF OF FRICO

5 August 2018/in Fresh (from 60 up to 120 days) Average First Course One hour and a half /by vodu

Boil, peel, mash and cool the potatoes, add eggs, flavor with salt and knead with the evenly distributed flour until the mixture becomes uniform. Create sticks large-more or less-like a finger and cut them into 1-cm pieces long. Boil water to cook dumplings. In the meanwhile, prepare the Montasio sauce and frico. Prepare béchamel with milk, flour and butter, scented of nutmeg. Cook in a water bath and add Montasio stirring until fluffy.

For the Frico: heat a non-stick pan and add a handful of grated Montasio. Spread it on the surface and turn it upside-down, so that the surplus fall. Brown it and turn it with a spatula to cook it on both sides. You will get a sort of flaky pastry to lay-flower shaped-in a mini-cup. Cook dumplings in hot water, toss them in a pan with the Montasio sauce and serve hot over the leaf of Frico.
