SCHLEMMER SUNDAY // Chanterelles with homemade Tortellini

Italian cuisine meet the russian technique

This recipe contains a part of my childhood and my passion for italian food. I often made "Pelmenis" with my parents and my grandma as a child. Pelmeni are the russian version of Tortellini. Both dishes are nearly the same. The differents are the small details like: for Tortellini you use olive oil, the filling is a little bit different and the Pelmeni are heavilyer seasoned.

Today I show you how to make Tortelini with the Pelmeni-technique. For the filling I use a vegetarian Ricotta-Tomao-Filling. After cooking Tortellini I rost them gently and serve them with chanterelle. 

Ingredients for 2

Portions:

400 g flour
90 ml watter
salt
pepper
1/2 tbsp. olive oil
200 g ricotta
4 tbsp. tomato paste
1/2 bunch of basil
400 g chanterelle
4 garlic cloves
1 red onion
rosemary
olive oil for browning

Recipe:
1) Mix flour, watter, olive oil and 1 tsp. salt and knead it to a smoth dough
2) Chop basil and mix it with tomato paste and ricotta. Add some salt and pepper
3) Wrap the dough so to get a roll and cut them in small pieces
4) Shape the doughs into round and flat pieces
5) Put a teaspon of the filling on the dough Teig and flip the dough in the middle
6) Press the edges together.
7) Cook the Tortelini for about 10 minuts in slat-watter
8) Chop the garlic and the onion and brown them
9) Add the Tortelini to the garlic and the onion

This dish fits perfectly with the dessert: red wine plum.
