Week 44 - Slovenia and Thailand

Zlikrofi, again a good sound, and it was , what I know as, ravioli! (considering how close Slovenia is to Italy I should have realised!) but if you look at the recipe it does mention that you make 150 of these from the ingredients - that is going to take a long time. I made enough for 4; and they were bigger but that still took a little while. But it was a good excuse to listen to something on the radio as I rolled, filled and pinched together. I made a broth from lamb stock, carrots and mushrooms and cooked the ravioli in that for 10 mins, the pork in the ravioli was already fried off.

From Thailand my son picked out a pad thai recipe that we discovered from a previous challenge, so I will not replicate the recipe here - just search for Thailand and you will discover it too. It was lovely, as ever....

Zlikrofi

Dough
250 g flour
2 eggs
2 tbs oil
2 fl oz water
Mix this all together and leave in fridge for 30 mins.

Filling
pork 500g
Spices - chives marjoram

Fry off the prok 500g, which is mixed with chives and marajoram. Leave this to cool.

Broth
Lamb stock
carrots, sliced
mushrooms sliced

Assemble, in any way you fancy! I divided my dough in four. Rolled out two bits nice and thin, but teaspoons of mixture on and then brushed water around the them all and layered the other rolled out dough on top. I have a square cutter, so I used this to try and make them all the same size for cooking.

For cooking, I had lamb stock, carrots and mushrooms simmering for 15 mins, then added the ravioli until cooked. Served with the broth. It was very tasty indeed!
