Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fenugreek leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, julienned
- 2 1/2 tablespoons ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 7 ounces tomato puree
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 pounds baby spinach, cleaned
- 2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- For the saag: Toast the fenugreek, turmeric, coriander, cumin and chili powder in a medium saute pan until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool, and then grind to a powder in a spice grinder.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepot or Dutch oven and sweat the onions 2 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until the onions are starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spices, tomato puree and tomato paste to combine and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly wilt the spinach into the onion mixture a little at a time while stirring. Stir in the cream to combine, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered at least 2 hours.
- For the malfatti: Combine the ricotta, flour, fennel pollen, some salt and pepper and the eggs in a large bowl using your hands. If mixture seems a bit too wet or sticky, add more flour until a roll-able dough forms. Roll about 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball (coating your hands in flour will help keep the ball from sticking). Continue to roll balls until all the dough is used up, making about 20 balls.
- Cook the malfatti in boiling water over medium-high heat until floating, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool, and then drain.
- When ready to serve, heat the butter and olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the malfatti and shake the pan, cooking each side quickly, until golden brown, about 5 minutes total.
- To serve, spoon some of the saag as a base on the plate, and top with a couple malfatti. Garnish with the chives.
