MARIA’S
POLPETTINE DI TONNO E PATATE
(Crispy Tuna and Potato Balls) (DAIRY)
INGREDIENTS: |
-
1 lb. potatoes
-
7 oz. canned tuna in olive
oil, drained
-
1 egg
-
2 Tbs. Parmesan cheese,
grated “KOSHER”
-
8 tsp nutmeg
-
Freshly ground pepper
-
1 tsp sea salt
-
2 Tbs. capers, preferably
salt-cured, well rinsed and drained
-
1 Tbs. Italian parsley,
finely chopped
-
2 cups flour – for coating
-
Olive oil for frying “UNION
OF PETRINA”
|
INSTRUCTIONS: |
-
Boil potatoes in salted water
to cover.
-
Peel when they have cooled
enough.
-
Mash potatoes really well,
place into a bowl and let cool to room
temperature.
-
Beat in tuna, egg, cheese,
nutmeg, pepper and salt and mix well until you
have a thick paste.
-
Stir in capers and parsley.
-
With a teaspoon or melon ball
shaper, shape into small rounds.
-
Sift flour onto a plate and
roll each ball in flour to coat exteriors very
lightly.
-
Pour oil into a large but
deep frying pan.
-
Test by dropping a tiny bit
of dough into the oil: It should dance and turn
golden almost immediately.
-
With a slotted spoon slide a
few polpettine at a time into the pan and fry
until golden on both sides, approximately 3 to
4 minutes.
-
Drain on paper towels and
repeat with remaining dough.
-
Alternately, make thin
patties and sauté in a little olive oil.
YIELDS: 6 to 8 servings
as hors d’oeuvre.
