GOAT CHEESE DUMPLINGS



Goat Cheese Dumplings image

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Cheese     Stew     Goat Cheese     Spring

Yield makes 48 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 7

300 grams fresh goat cheese
200 grams fresh ricotta
2 large egg yolks
5.38 grams Activa Y-G (see Sources, page 309)
3 grams fine sea salt
0.25 gram cayenne pepper
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Put the goat cheese, ricotta, egg yolks, Activa, salt, and cayenne in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into a squeeze bottle.
  • Spray the inside of a magnetic sphere mold or spherical ice cube tray with nonstick cooking spray and wipe it with a dry paper towel. The fine film remaining will ease the unmolding process. Close the sphere mold and fill each cavity, squeezing the cheese mixture through the top opening. Fill all the spheres and tap the mold on the counter to force out any air bubbles. If necessary, top off the mold with any remaining goat cheese. Alternatively, you could substitute small chocolate molds for the spheres. Loosely cover the top of the sphere mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for eighteen hours.
  • Remove the mold from the refrigerator and carefully remove the top section. The spheres will have set and there will be a small extension on each sphere from the fill hole. Use a paring knife to cut this cheese extension off of each sphere. Gently remove each sphere from the mold and place in a shallow container.
  • To serve, gently warm the spheres in simmering water to heat through. When hot, remove them from the water and place them in a serving dish with the desired sauce and glaze.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients: Use the best quality goat cheese you can find, as it will greatly impact the flavor of the dumplings. Fresh herbs, such as thyme and chives, will also add a lot of flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the dumplings tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the dumplings: Cook the dumplings in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and ensure they cook evenly.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately: Goat cheese dumplings are best served hot and fresh out of the pot.

Conclusion:

Goat cheese dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
