ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 2 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1⁄4 cup semolina flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 3⁄4 lb pork, cooked (beef, chicken or turkey can be used and you may combine meats)
- 2 tablespoons lemon rind, grated
- 1⁄3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- parsley
- salt and pepper
- 6 -10 cups chicken broth
directions
- Combine flour, semolina flour and salt in a bowl.
- In food processor, lightly beat 4 eggs. Then add 2/3 of the flour mixture to the eggs and process - check dough and add enough to make a ball that hangs together but not too sticky. (Depending upon the weather you may need a bit more flour than listed above.).
- Place dough on floured board and cover with an inverted bowl and let rest 20 minutes.
- Place meat in the food processor and grind to a coarse chop. Add 1 egg, lemon rind, cheese, herbs and spices. Process again until it is a dry, ground up, crumbly, fine filling.
- Heat chicken broth to boiling.
- Take dough and divide into quarters. Roll on floured surface to the thickness of a dime. Dough should be elastic, but not sticky. Turn dough often to ensure it does not stick. Cut circles out of the dough with a cutter, glass or Pam lid. Take a pinch of meat filling, not too much. Place in center of circle. Make sure your hands are clean at this point, fold over in 1/2. Then take the points and fold around and pinch them together, to look like a Pope's hat.
- Place into chicken broth. They are cooked when they float to the surface about 2-3 minutes. They will swell up as they cook.
- The Cappalleti freeze well - place on a cookie sheet with a little flour and place in freezer. Once frozen place in plastic freezer bags and use as wanted.
