Stelline In Zuppa Di Asparagi E Menta Recipes

Steps:

• Saute the onion, garlic, and carrots in the olive oil until the onions are translucent. Add in the sage, cook until aromatic.
• Add the can of tomatoes, heat through.
• Add the white beans, return to a simmer, and simmer as long as you like (the longer, the yummier, honestly!).
• Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice.
• This dish holds up well to slight modifications. I have put in a stalk of celery, diced, with the onions and carrots. I have added a little dried rosemary with the white beans. All quite tasty. For omnivores, this dish is delicious with a few shrimp sauteed in butter and garlic served on top.

Steps:

• Soup base:.
• In a large, heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat, sauté the leeks and fennel in the olive oil until translucent. Stir in the pepper and tomato paste and continue cooking until the tomato paste has darkened in color and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Stir in the Arborio rice, then the fish stock, scraping any flavoring from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue cooking until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Puree the soup base in a blender until smooth, then pass through a fine sieve, discarding any solids. Adjust the seasonings with salt, Pernod and lemon juice to taste. If the base is too thick, add additional fish stock to thin.
• Soup and assembly:.
• In a large frying pan or skillet, sauté the shallots in 2 tablespoons olive oil until translucent. Stir in the mussels and clams, then stir in the white wine.
• Cover the pan and simmer until the clams and mussels open (discard any that will not open). Stir in the soup base, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the prawns and scallops, then bring to a gentle simmer and poach the fish until done (the fish should be just firm and opaque). Stir in the chopped chives.
• Meanwhile, season each piece of cod with a light pinch each of salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the fish in flour. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, and add the remaining olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the fish pieces a few at a time and sauté until lightly golden on both sides and the fish is firm and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Divide the soup between 8 warm bowls and top with the sautéed cod. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over low heat, cook the leeks in the butter and oil until tender and golden.
• Add the Swiss chard and stock and bring to a simmer.
• Cook until the chard wilts, about 10 minutes.
• Add the rice, salt, and pepper.
• Cover and cook over low heat about 20 minutes until the rice is cooked.
• Stir in cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Heat chicken broth to boiling; stir in stellini and lemon zest.
• Cover and cook over low heat until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in heavy cream and lemon zest. Serve.

Steps:

• Wash the asparagus spears and cut the green parts into rounds, keeping the tips as individual inch-long pieces and setting them aside.
• Peel and dice the potatoes.
• Mince the onion and sauté it in the butter with the asparagus rounds, potato, and mint. Check seasoning, add some of the broth, and cook the mixture for 20 minutes or so.
• During this time boil the asparagus tips for a few minutes in a little more of the broth.
• When the 20 minutes are up, blend the mixture containing the potatoes and stir it into the main broth pot together with the broth containing the asparagus tips, bring everything to a boil, add the stelline, and cook until they are done.
• Serve.
