ZUPPA D’AGLIO – GARLIC SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Italian Soups/stews
Garlic

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 Heads Garlic, Fresh
1/4 c Olive Oil
1 md Onion, Cut up up
2 Celery Ribs, Cut Up
1 c White Wine, Dry
1/4 c All-Purpose Flour
1 ga Chicken Stock
1 md Potato, Peeled And Cut Up
1 c Whipping Cream
10 Basil Leaves, Fresh,
– Chopped
5 Sprigs Thyme Leaves, Fresh
2 ts Salt
ts White Pepper
1/2 ts Tabasco
1 t Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves, Sliced Very
– Thin, For Garnish

1. Cut two of the garlic heads in half across and
remove the papery outer skin. Put these cut side down
on a very hot surface – a griddle or black iron
skillet – until they’re black. Peel all the garlic
completely. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan
and saute the onions, celery, and the garlic until
lightly browned at the edges. Add the wine and bring
to a boil. 3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir the pot
thoroughly, but don’t let it brown. Add the chicken
stock, 1/2 gallon water, and the potato. Whisk about
the pot well and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid
simmer and cook for about an hour and 15 minutes. 4.
Strain out the solids from the soup, and puree them in
a blender or food processor, along with enough broth
to ease things along. Return the puree to the soup and
restore the boil. Add the whipping cream, basil,
thyme, salt, pepper and Tabasco. 5. Heat the extra
virgin olive oil in a skillet very hot. In it toast
the slivers of garlic until brown around the outside.
6 Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with roasted
garlic slivers. Float a toasted, garlic-buttered slice
of French bread on top. Serves eight to twelve.
Suggested wine: Marinasco Chef Andrea Apuzzo writes of
this recipe in his book “La Cucina di Andrea’s”,
“Garlic wears many hats. Most people think of it in
its aggressive, green, aromatic, sharp form. But when
garlic is cooked slowly for a long time, it takes on a
sweet nuttiness that is every bit as interesting as
its more raw flavors. The sweet side of garlic is
exemplified by this soup.” Andrea’s Restaurant 3100

White Beans with Sage

There have been a number of good polenta suggestions…here is
one that we enjoyed earlier this summer. It was one of those hot
days, so I chilled the polenta in a loaf pan, and just sliced it
(without dry-frying or anything). On top I put white beans and sage.
It’s an adaptation of a recipe from Fields of Greens (called Warm
Cannellini Beans with Sage, p. 270, for those of you with this
cookbook):

2 cans of your favorite white beans…
1 bay leaf
2 fresh winter savory or thyme sprigs
10 fresh sage leaves
1 med. yellow onion, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
salt and pepper
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/3 C dry white wine
1/2 T parsley

Put the beans into a saucepan with the bay leaf, savory and
two of the sage leaves. Warm gently until you need them, so that they
take in the herb flavors. Remove the herbs and bay leaf, leave the
beans in their broth.

While the beans cook, chop the remaining sage leaves.
Water-saute the onion, 1/2 t salt, and a few pinches of pepper. Saute
(I’ll probably use water next time; I tried wine, but I thought it
made the whole thing to wine-y.) over medium heat until the onion
begins to release its juices. Add the garlic and sage; saute for
about 10 minutes, then add the wine and cook for a minute or two,
until the pan is nearly dry.

Add the beans and their broth to the onions along with 1/2 t
salt and a few pinches of pepper. Lower the heat and cook for 20
minutes, adding alittle water if needed to keep the beans saucy. Add
salt and pepper to taste. Add the parsley just before serving.

SOPA DE GRAO

Anderson

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
***** NONE *****

2 1/2 c Dried garbanzos

– washed and sorted

2 qt Cold water

4 md Garlic cloves

– peeled and minced

4 lg Yellow onions; peeled

– and coarsely chopped

3 tb Peanut, corn or veg. oil

3 md Maine or Eastern potatoes

– peeled coarsely chopped

1/2 ts Crumbled leaf thyme

1/2 ts Ground coriander seeds

1 lg Bay leaf; (do not crumble)

1 qt Beef or chicken broth

-(preferably homemade)

1/2 lb Pepperoni or chorizo

– or if available,

– Portuguese chourico or

– linguica,

– sliced about 1/4-in thick

1 c Finely chopped fresh spinach

– (leaves only)

1 1/2 ts Salt

1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper

2 tb Olive oil

SOAK THE GARBANZOS overnight in 6 cups of the water in a large heavy

kettle. Next day, add the remaining 2 cups water, bring to a gentle boil,

cover, and cook 4-to-5 hours or until the garbanzos are very tender.

Meanwhile, stir-fry the garlic and onions in the peanut oil in a second

large, heavy kettle over moderate heat for 12-to-15 minutes until lightly

browned. Add the potatoes and stir-fry 2-to-3 minutes; add the thyme,

coriander, and bay leaf, turn the heat down low, and allow to mellow about

10 minutes. Pour in the broth, bring all to a gentle simmer, cover and cook

slowly. As soon as you’ve set the 2 kettles to simmer, stir-fry the

pepperoni in a large heavy skillet 3-to-5 minutes–just until lightly

browned and most of the drippings have cooked out. Drain the pepperoni

well, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Set aside. Return 1

tablespoon drippings to the skillet, add the spinach and stir-fry 2-to-3

minutes over moderate heat just until glazed and intensely green; reserve.

When the garbanzos are tender, puree 1/2 of them by buzzing 60 seconds in a

food processor, adding only enough kettle liquid to puree them easily.

Return the pureed garbanzos to the kettle in which they cooked. Now puree

the potato mixture in 2 batches, buzzing each 30-to-40 seconds in a food

processor. Blend the potato mixture into the garbanzo mixture, add the

reserved pepperoni and spinach, cover, and simmer 30-to-40 minutes–just

long enough to mellow the flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper,

remove the bay leaf, then smooth in the olive oil.

Makes 6 to 8 Servings

Crockpot Beans and Barley

I made this recipe today in the crockpot and ate it on rice. It looked icky
but tasted lovely.

1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped (I used 2, I like them)
1 cup navy beans, soaked
1/2 tsp prepared mustard
1/2 cup split peas, dried
1/4 cup pearl barley
1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
1 cup pinto beans, uncooked
4 cups vegetable broth
3 T parsley, minced
1/4 cup lentils, dried
Soak white and pinto beans overnight. Saute onion, mushrooms and carrot in 1
T of vegetable broth until tender. Add drained beans, vegetable bouillon,
mustard and parsely, bring to bil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes.
Add split peas, lentils and barley. Cover and simmer another hour until all
beans are tender. (Note: I like it spicy so I added lots of tabasco and
pepper). I know this is more of a “winter recipe” but I think it will be good
cold, also. Things got a bit mushy in the crockpot so it might be better to
cook on the stove.
