"Roman Egg Drop Soup"

February 15, 2016 Rich at Definitely Delish

I've been on quite the Italian food and more specifically Italian soup kick recently; between my Pasta e Fagioli, Minestrone and Italian Wedding soups I've posted on my food blog at DefinitelyDelish.com and on Facebook at facebook.com/definitelydelish
Well here's another one for you to add to the collection, and that is my recipe and video for "Roman Egg Drop Soup"
With not a lot left in the house from a huge cooking occasion, with family, just this past weekend (I had cooked a huge pot of Sunday Gravy with braciole, meatballs, sausage, stew meat, country ribs and short ribs) I kind of had to scrounge a little, especially since my beautiful Baby was feeling a little under the weather...
So thankfully since my house never lacks for eggs, herbs and broth-my choice was pretty well and good decided for me...
So moving on from my decision, I got down to work by simmering the broth with some peppercorns and thyme, then added in the mix of eggs and cheese-letting it cook into the little rags of eggs we all expect from an egg drop soup..
Finally I tossed in some fresh basil and parsley with a few grinds of pepper and pink salt-and ta da, all finished...
Definitely a nice and easy dish to take the chill off your bones during the winter, and definitely delish...

I get so excited over some of the littlest things in the world..
-
Sometimes there’s just no rhyme or reason to it, it makes my wife laugh because I can be inordinately mellow over bigger stuff but this will make me giddy..
-
Just the other day I got my very own “Masala Dabba” and yes I’m giddy and I don’t care. Lol..
-
Truly have to get into cooking some more delicious Indian cuisine beyond the two or three I’ve done..
-
But till then I decided to mix a little of the spices I use for both Indian delicacies and my other cooking to get my spice tin going..
-
An isn’t this one a beauty too..
-
I love the details and designs hand engraved and everything..
-
Gives it such an old world feel compared to just the stock stainless steel ones I was coming across and I’m glad I waited to find just the right one..
-
So thanks to Smita Chandra for her beautiful work of art, it won’t ever be neglected in my kitchen..
•
Me and my Baby taste every recipe I post (and then some). While I may occasionally borrow an idea or get inspiration from a talented chef, I can not help adapting and tinkering with everything in our home. (It smells really good in here). My goal is to make sure every recipe has a little bit of me in it. (Sometimes to the point that it in no way resembles the original). So go on, enjoy yourselves and try one of them out for yourself. I think you'll find that they are so—"Definitely Delish"

Love certain dishes..
-
You know; the ones you just cook again and again for family and friends..
-
This is one of those..
-
Using a recipe with a few small tweaks, that I got from my Dad, I’ve been cooking this dish for about 20 years now..
-
It never gets old..
-
Pasta, butter, asparagus, sun-dried tomatoes, wine and au jus makes for a wonderful meal..
-
Then as with anything, the cooking is just the beginning..
-
Setting the table for guests is the next part and I just love it when a table looks as pretty as the meal you’re serving..
-
So check DefinitelyDelish.com in the coming days for this wonderful dish..
-
It won’t disappoint, I promise..

Bleak, dark, and piercing cold,
 it was a night for the well-housed and fed
to draw round the bright fire,
 and thank God they were at home;
and for the homeless starving wretch
 to lay him down and die..
-
 Many hunger-worn outcasts
close their eyes
 in our bare streets at such times,
who, let their crimes
 have been what they may,
can hardly open them
 in a more bitter world..

I returned to New Orleans, and as soon as I smelled the air, I knew I was home.

I walked the streets, savoring that long lost perfume.

Been a slow food month or so for me, between holidays and work, plus just busy schedules in general..
-
A lot of what I’ve been doing has been repeats of recipes for us at home or just getting cooking so late that any photos I took were just not worth posting..
-
Finally though, I got a little work in and made a new recipe or two that was worth sharing with you..
-
So today I went with homemade “Salisbury Steak” with green beans and “Potato Cannolis”
-
I’ll be adding both recipes up on the Blog this week for you to try for yourself..
-
Trust me though, the potato cannoli is worth the extra steps to make, a mandolin slicer is very helpful but a peeler might work just as well for the baked potato cannoli shells..
-
So delish and so worth the effort to make..

New Orleans lives by the water and fights it, a sand castle set on a sponge nine feet below sea level, where people made music from heartache, named their drinks for hurricanes and joked that one day you'd be able to tour the city by gondola..

:
But during all these years I had a vague but persistent desire to return to New Orleans.
I never forgot New Orleans.
And when we were in tropical places and places of those flowers and trees that grow in Louisiana, I would think of it acutely and I would feel for my home(away from home)the only glimmer of desire I felt for anything outside my endless pursuit of art.—A.Rice

:
If New Orleans is not fully in the mainstream of culture, neither is it fully in the mainstream of time.
 Lacking a well-defined present, it lives somewhere between its past and its future, as if uncertain whether to advance or to retreat.
 Perhaps it is its perpetual ambivalence that is its secret charm.

GK SkinnyPasta Spaghetti Pie with Coconut Flour Crust
-
Ingredients:
Olive oil
1 zucchini, diced
1 yellow Squash, diced

1/4 cup red wine

-

Spoon the mixture into the prepared bottom crust till full adding spoonfuls of part skim ricotta cheese here & there (more or less to preference) Roll out a 10 inch circle of coconut flour pie crust on parchment paper. Transfer on top & seal the edges. Lightly brush the top with egg wash & sprinkle a pinch or two of coarse salt on top—then cut small slits to vent. Place in middle rack of the oven. Bake until it is golden brown on top, about 30 minutes being careful not to burn. When done let stand for 10 to 15 minutes then remove the pan sides & serve with some reserved tomato sauce on the side.
Getting around to posting some food dishes again..

Definitely need to get a bunch of them up on the blog for everyone to enjoy..
-
Here’s one from post Thanksgiving weekend with my Baby Girl..
-
Fresh homemade “Polenta” from whole roasted corn on the cob mixed with Bulgarian Feta (which has a much milder taste then Greek or domestic Feta)
-
Over top I placed a piece of “Braised Short Rib” cooked in wine, stock & vegetables for hours..
-
Such a delish dish with a wonderful mix of flavors your family or friends are sure to enjoy..
•
For your enjoyment here is my personal “Polenta” recipe..
•
“Polenta"
-
Ingredients:
6 ears of Farm Fresh Corn (1 lb. kernels)
2 cups Water 
3 tablespoons unsalted Irish Butter, diced
7 ounces Bulgarian Feta, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
Fresh ground White Pepper
-
Directions:
1. Remove the leaves and "silk" from each ear of corn, then chop off the pointed top and stalk. Using a sharp knife to shave off the kernels by either standing each ear upright on its base and shaving downward, or lay each ear on its side on a cutting board to slice off the kernels..
2. You want to have about 1 pound of corn kernels...
3. Place the kernels in a medium saucepan and barely cover them with the water. Add one tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt. Cook for 15 minutes on low heat simmering..
4. Use a slotted spoon to remove the kernels from the water and place them into a food processor; reserve the cooking liquid..
5. Process them for several minutes, to break as much of the kernel case as possible. Add some of the cooking liquid if the mixture becomes too dry to process...
6. Now return the processed corn to the pan with the reserved cooking liquid and cook, while stirring, on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to an almost mashed potato consistency. (If you have a lot of liquid left in the pan, it can take longer to cook down the polenta, and it will sputter)
7. Fold in the remaining butter, the feta, sea salt and some pepper and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and add more sea salt & white pepper if needed..

I love trying new things but not being to much of a glutton I try to save these kinds of experiments for when I know I can share them..
-
Otherwise, obviously, I would most likely devour the entire delicious thing by myself..
-
This here happens to be one of those things..
-
So after wanting to and wanting to, finally for Thanksgiving dinner I got to create, serve and try out my very first “Japanese Cheesecake”
-
Light and fluffy, the jiggly Japanese style dessert is like a sponge cake and a cheesecake went out, got a little crazy and a few months later introduced this delectable dessert to world..
-
My baby here wanted to look all pretty for her debut, so a quick dusting of powdered sugar through a paper lace doillie and some fruit to top it off brought beautiful perfection..
-
“Definitely Delish” and definitely something I want to make again (cause I really think I could eat it up all by myself)

-
A lot of what I’ve been doing has been repeats of recipes for us at home or just getting cooking so late that any photos I took were just not worth posting..
-
Finally though, I got a little work in and made a new recipe or two that was worth sharing with you..
-
So today I went with homemade “Salisbury Steak” with green beans and “Potato Cannolis”
-
I’ll be adding both recipes up on the Blog this week for you to try for yourself..
-
Trust me though, the potato cannoli is worth the extra steps to make, a mandolin slicer is very helpful but a peeler might work just as well for the baked potato cannoli shells..
-
So delish and so worth the effort to make..
•
Me and my Baby taste every recipe I post (and then some). While I may occasionally borrow an idea or get inspiration from a talented chef, I can not help adapting and tinkering with everything in our home. (It smells really good in here). My goal is to make sure every recipe has a little bit of me in it. (Sometimes to the point that it in no way resembles the original). So go on, enjoy yourselves and try one of them out for yourself. I think you'll find that they are so—"Definitely Delish"

New Orleans lives by the water and fights it, a sand castle set on a sponge nine feet below sea level, where people made music from heartache, named their drinks for hurricanes and joked that one day you'd be able to tour the city by gondola..

But during all these years I had a vague but persistent desire to return to New Orleans.
I never forgot New Orleans.
And when we were in tropical places and places of those flowers and trees that grow in Louisiana, I would think of it acutely and I would feel for my home(away from home)the only glimmer of desire I felt for anything outside my endless pursuit of art.—A.Rice

The river breeze washed over him.
He saw the magnificent views of the city and the bridge connecting Algiers Point to New Orleans.
He marveled at the crescent shape of New Orleans as the ferry traveled nearly parallel to the curve in the Mississippi River.

:
If New Orleans is not fully in the mainstream of culture, neither is it fully in the mainstream of time.
 Lacking a well-defined present, it lives somewhere between its past and its future, as if uncertain whether to advance or to retreat.
 Perhaps it is its perpetual ambivalence that is its secret charm.

GK SkinnyPasta Spaghetti Pie with Coconut Flour Crust
-
Ingredients:
Olive oil
1 zucchini, diced
1 yellow Squash, diced
Sea Salt & ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound mild Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1/4 cup red wine
3 cups tomato sauce (plus 2 more cups for serving on the side) 
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2/3 pound GK SkinnyPasta, Spaghetti (for 10 inch pie—1 package may be enough for 9 inch)
1 pound part skim mozzarella, diced
1/2 to 2/3 cup Parmesan, Asiago & Romano cheese, shredded
1/2 cup or more part skim ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon Fresh chopped parsley
Coconut Flour Pie Crust (see Blog post)
-
Directions:
1. Heat 2 tblsps of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the veggies & toss to coat in the oil. Sprinkle with sea salt & pepper. Saute the veggies until lightly golden & tender, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic & saute until it is tender, 2 minutes longer. Using a slotted spoon transfer the veggie mixture to a large bowl. Add sausage & wine to the same pan. Cook over medium-high heat until the sausage is browned, breaking the sausage into smaller pieces, about 8 minutes. Add the sausage, parsley, tomato sauce & red pepper to the veggie mixture, toss to combine.
2. Add fully thawed GK SkinnyPasta spaghetti with the mixture. Add the mozzarella & shredded cheeses & toss to combine.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Follow the "Coconut Flour Pie Crust" directions & transfer to a 9 or 10 inch springform pan. Spoon the mixture into the prepared bottom crust till full adding spoonfuls of part skim ricotta cheese here & there (more or less to preference) Roll out a 10 inch circle of coconut flour pie crust on parchment paper. Transfer on top & seal the edges. Lightly brush the top with egg wash & sprinkle a pinch or two of coarse salt on top—then cut small slits to vent. Place in middle rack of the oven. Bake until it is golden brown on top, about 30 minutes being careful not to burn. When done let stand for 10 to 15 minutes then remove the pan sides & serve with some reserved tomato sauce on the side. Getting around to posting some food dishes again..

Definitely need to get a bunch of them up on the blog for everyone to enjoy..

Here’s one from post Thanksgiving weekend with my Baby Girl..
-
Fresh homemade “Polenta” from whole roasted corn on the cob mixed with Bulgarian Feta (which has a much milder taste then Greek or domestic Feta)
-
Over top I placed a piece of “Braised Short Rib” cooked in wine, stock & vegetables for hours..
-
Such a delish dish with a wonderful mix of flavors your family or friends are sure to enjoy..
•
For your enjoyment here is my personal “Polenta” recipe..
•
“Polenta"
-
Ingredients:
6 ears of Farm Fresh Corn (1 lb. kernels)
2 cups Water 
3 tablespoons unsalted Irish Butter, diced
7 ounces Bulgarian Feta, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
Fresh ground White Pepper
-
Directions:
1. Remove the leaves and "silk" from each ear of corn, then chop off the pointed top and stalk. Using a sharp knife to shave off the kernels by either standing each ear upright on its base and shaving downward, or lay each ear on its side on a cutting board to slice off the kernels..
2. You want to have about 1 pound of corn kernels...
3. Place the kernels in a medium saucepan and barely cover them with the water. Add one tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt. Cook for 15 minutes on low heat simmering..
4. Use a slotted spoon to remove the kernels from the water and place them into a food processor; reserve the cooking liquid..
5. Process them for several minutes, to break as much of the kernel case as possible. Add some of the cooking liquid if the mixture becomes too dry to process...
6. Now return the processed corn to the pan with the reserved cooking liquid and cook, while stirring, on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to an almost mashed potato consistency. (If you have a lot of liquid left in the pan, it can take longer to cook down the polenta, and it will sputter)
7. Fold in the remaining butter, the feta, sea salt and some pepper and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and add more sea salt & white pepper if needed..

I love trying new things but not being to much of a glutton I try to save these kinds of experiments for when I know I can share them..
-
Otherwise, obviously, I would most likely devour the entire delicious thing by myself..
-
This here happens to be one of those things..
-
So after wanting to and wanting to, finally for Thanksgiving dinner I got to create, serve and try out my very first “Japanese Cheesecake”
-
Light and fluffy, the jiggly Japanese style dessert is like a sponge cake and a cheesecake went out, got a little crazy and a few months later introduced this delectable dessert to world..
-
My baby here wanted to look all pretty for her debut, so a quick dusting of powdered sugar through a paper lace doillie and some fruit to top it off brought beautiful perfection..

“Definitely Delish” and definitely something I want to make again (cause I really think I could eat it up all by myself)
•
Me and my Baby taste every recipe I post (and then some). While I may occasionally borrow an idea or get inspiration from a talented chef, I can not help adapting and tinkering with everything in our home. (It smells really good in here). My goal is to make sure every recipe has a little bit of me in it. (Sometimes to the point that it in no way resembles the original). So go on, enjoy yourselves and try one of them out for yourself.

Thank you so much for your support & hope you enjoy some of the various recipes I have & will eventually be sharing..
