Over time, we’ve had several propositions for preparing and serving our ‘brocciu’, which remains very popular indeed. Here’s another quick little recipe that you can try out some time – as they say ‘variety is the spice of life’, so add this new one to your collection.
Bon appetitu !
Serves 4
Ingredients:
– 6 good sized potatoes
– 6 eggs
– a few leaves of fresh mint
– 200g brocciu (or cream cheese of your choice, if you’ve no alternative)
– pinch of nutmeg
– salt and pepper
Method:
Cook the unpeeled potatoes in the oven. As soon as they are cooked, peel and mash with a fork, adding the chopped mint leaves. Add the crushed brocciu. Blend in the butter, 3 egg yolks, a little nutmeg, salt and pepper. Knead the mixture well. Whip egg-whites to a light mousse, with a pinch of salt. Incorporate to the mashed potatoes at the last moment. Now form small croquettes in your hand. In a soup plate/bowl, whip the eggs and dip the croquettes, then roll and cover with breadcrumbs. Cook in very hot oil, and place onto some kitchen roll.
Keep them in a warm oven until you are ready to serve.
