directions

  • Stir together ricotta, parmesan, salami, yolks, salt, pepper and 3 tbsp bread crumbs until combined. Put remaining bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
  • Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Scoop a 1 1/2 tbsp mound of cheese mixture into bread crumbs, turning to coat, then pat into a ball or oval. Transfer to baking sheet. Make the rest of the fritters in the same manner.
  • Heat oil in a 12 inch heavy skillet ( or deep fryer) at 350 degrees. Fry the fritters, two or three at a time, until golden, gently turning them to evenly cook. This should take 2-4 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature alone, or with a marinara sauce for dipping.

I'm a 37 year-old American living in Georgia. I'm a flight attendant. I still prefer "stewardess". <a href="http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/flying%20stuff/?action=view¤t=JFK_traffic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/flying%20stuff/JFK_traffic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> I'm not home as often as I would like to be; but on my days off, you can nearly always find me happily buried in the kitchen. I am engaged to a wonderful man, who is an exceptional artist. Here's a taste: <a href="http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/?action=view¤t=Bunnicula_by_SPOOKYCOpng.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/Bunnicula_by_SPOOKYCOpng.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Gives a whole new meaning to the thought of having rabbit, doesn't it? Well, he's a big fan of eating, so I decided to marry him on October 27th, 2008. <a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/wedding%20bouquet/happyeverafterweddings/bouquet.jpg?o=81" target="_blank"><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/happyeverafterweddings/bouquet.jpg"></a> We love to watch zombie movies late at night, eat banana pancakes for breakfast, and watch the sunset on the deck while I have a vodka. My darling likes to call this "Playing Russian Spy Flight Attendant". <a href="http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/flying%20stuff/?action=view¤t=399592674_113be463f8_o.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/flying%20stuff/399592674_113be463f8_o.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> My prize possessions include my collection of flight attendant wings, my great grandmother's antique star sapphire ring, my Audrey Hepburn Swarovski clutch, and my zombie doll Lenore. <a href="http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/?action=view¤t=Lenore-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/Lenore-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
