ricotta gnocchi

Copied from steamykitchen.com - will try later.

1 cup whole milk ricotta
1/2 cup freshly grated parmegiano reggiano (plus extra reserved for garnishing)
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon lemon zest (use a microplane grater) (plus extra reserved for garnishing)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/2 tsp table salt)
3/4 cup all purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (plus extra reserved for garnishing)
1/2 teaspoon finely minced chilli (or red pepper flakes) - adjust chilli based on your tastes
2 tablespoons clarified butter (or just regular butter, but the clarified butter works much better)
1 tablespoon olive oil

1. Combine ricotta, parmagiano, yolk, zest and salt in large bowl. Mix well. Sprinkle half of the flour on the mixture, gently turn with spatula a few times to incorporate. Dump mixture on clean, lightly floured countertop. Sprinkle remaining flour on top of the mixture. Gently knead with your fingertips, just bringing together the mixture until flour is incorporated through. This only should take a minute or two. Any longer and you will be over-kneading. *If you are using skim milk ricotta - you may have to use more flour, as there is more water content in skim ricotta.

2. Divide dough into 4 parts. Take one part and roll into a long, 1″ diameter log. Cut gnocchi into 1″ pieces. You may use your wooden doobie-bopper or tines of a fork to get those pretty grooves that will eventually disappear after frying anyways.

3. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and olive oil. when butter is just lightly browned, add gnocchi in single layer. Fry on one side for 2 minutes, flip. Add chilli. Fry other side for 1-2 minutes. Timing really depends on how big/thick your gnocchi is. Do a taste test - do you taste flour? Not done yet. Does it taste like a beautiful Italian’s luscious lips? Then its done. Serve with a sprinkling of lemon zest, parmegiano and parsley.

carrota tangerine foam

Cloud of Carrot with Tangerine Concentrate Chef Ferrán Adrià of El Bulli – Roses, Spain
Adapted by StarChefs.com

Yield: 10 Servings

Ingredients:

• 2.000 grams carrots
• 500 grams Simone Gatto tangerine juice
• 60 grams soluble powdered coconut
• 150 grams water
• .001 grams bitter almond flavoring
• 1 gram curry powder

Method:
Peel the carrots and cut off ends. Blend, reserving juice.

Let tangerine juice stand, undisturbed, for 24 hours so pulp separates and settles to the bottom. Remove liquid from top with a syringe until only pulp remains, taking care not to disturb and re-mix liquid and pulp. Freeze the pulp.

Dilute the coconut powder in the water. Add the almond flavoring and place in the freezer to obtain an iced texture.

Emulsify the carrot juice in blender on highest setting until “cloud” consistency is achieved.

Spoon tangerine pulp and coconut ice on center of plate. Place carrot clouds around pulp and ice, and garnish with a dot of curry powder.
