Pane Angelico Dumpling Soup

Small soft bread dumplings with prosciutto, marrow and Parmesan, simmered in clear broth.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Gather the ingredients: 150 g soft fine white bread crumb, without crust; 50 g prosciutto with both fat and lean; 40 g raw food-grade beef leg-bone marrow; 40 g finely grated Parmesan; 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk; Plain flour as needed, usually a little less than 100 g; Nutmeg to taste; About 2.5 litres ready-to-use clear broth, plus a little for moistening the bread.

  2. Step 2

    Moisten the bread crumb with just enough hot broth to soak it lightly. Let cool enough to handle safely, then squeeze very firmly in a clean cloth to remove excess liquid.

  3. Step 3

    Chop the prosciutto extremely finely. Mash the marrow with the flat of a knife and work it until soft and spreadable, without melting it.

  4. Step 4

    Mix the squeezed bread, prosciutto, marrow and Parmesan, then add the whole egg, extra yolk and nutmeg.

  5. Step 5

    Dust a board with flour, put the mixture on it and dust the top. Work in only enough flour to shape soft balls about the size of a hazelnut; the source suggests a little less than 100 g, but the amount depends on the bread’s moisture.

  6. Step 6

    Bring the broth to a gentle boil. Add the balls in batches and simmer for 10 minutes, checking 74°C at the centre of a larger dumpling. Serve with the broth as small starter portions.
