Papaya Leaves Sauted with Smoked Fish

2011-03-23T21:58:00.002-10:00

In Indonesia we called Tumis Daun Pepaya Ikan Cakalang, but i used another fish that smoked bfore. I shreded the fish and sauted them with spices and put the papaya leaves in it. To reduce or even eliminated the "awful" taste from the papaya leaves, i use cassava leaves that cooked together with the papaya leaves. Need special treatment for using the papaya leaves that many places in Indonesia have their own ways.

this is the original one from Lina, and i think she ever mention that she got this recipe from AllRecipe website..
oya.. i think the amount of the flour depend on the ricotta itself. i forgot to drain my ricotta so it contain lots of liquid and i have to add more and more flour...

and for the sauce, i just pour the marinara sauce from Tyler Florence Food Network or Giada d Laurentis also from Food Network. actually u can any kind of sauce onto it.. all fit with gnocchi!!

Original Recipe Yield 5 servings

Ingredients
• Gnocchi:
• 1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
•
• Sauce:
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 dash crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 6 basil leaves, finely shredded
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small chunks

Directions
1. Stir together the ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan Cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until evenly combined. Mix in 1 cup of flour. Add additional flour if needed to form a soft dough.
2. Divide the dough into 3 or 4 pieces, and roll into 1/2-inch-thick ropes on a floured surface. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces, and place on a lightly floured baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
3. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in shredded basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Boil the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1 to 2 minutes, then drain.
5. To assemble the dish, stir the cubed mozzarella cheese into the sauce and allow the heat of the sauce to soften, but not melt the cheese. Place gnocchi into a serving bowl, and spoon sauce overtop.

Another modification of tiramisu that i made, nice dessert, there r sweet from the cream, sour berry, and moist sponge cake. Modified from previous tiramisu recipe that i've posted couple years ago. Bcoz i use berry syrup instead of coffee syrup that i made from scratch, so i "lighten" the cream with more whipping cream , so it still taste cheesy but more fresh whipping cream in it.

Beat the cream until bubling and add the confectioner sugar gradually, beat in high speed until sift peak formed. Set aside and store in fridge.
Beat the yolks & sugar until color of pale and mixture thickened.
Continue to beat on the boiled water (beat with low speed) until egg warmed.
Take the bowl away from boiled water, add the vanilla extract, and continue beating until mixture back cold again. Set aside.
Combine the cream cheese and cream mixture and beat together in a low speed.
Add the yolks mixture into the cream mixture, mix all together. Put in a fridge until firm.

Put the berry (frozen strawberry, raspberry, and bluberry) in a sauce pan on medium-high heat.

Tuh cannoli shell dah nangkring sejak desember 2008 kmrn, oleh2 Rika&Tim from AZ. blm sempet plus blm berani nekat bikin fillingnya. Meski gampang bgt, cuma ricotta cheese ama choc chip, powdered sugar, almon ato dry-fruit, apa aja sesuai selera...Tapi dpt resep katanya ok tuh klo di mix ama custard. Ya udah, akhirnya aku bikin custard dulu, pake resep Vla Napoleon nya Riana/NCC, di refrigerate semalaman, besok paginya br diolah ama Ricotta Cheese nya. Aku pakein choc chip Hershey aja, krn gk ada dry fruit, trus anak2 gk demen almond jg. Hasilnya.... 4 shell cannoli lngs amblaasss dlm itungan detik! sarah lngs abis 2 biji euy, ehan 1, aku 1, win gk dapet deh... hhmm... sisa custard aku simpen buat isinya choux pastry kali yee...
