The alessandrini Rabaton
Rabaton is a traditional vegetarian dish of Alexandrian cuisine.
Served as a first course, it is traditionally prepared with wild herbs, but more and more often they are replaced with chard or spinach.
Rabatons are distinguished by the particular shape of large elongated gnocchi, their name derives from the verb “to mend”, meaning to roll. Before cooking they are in fact rolled into flour.
The recipe is very simple:
To start, you need to blanch the chard in boiling winged water, leave it to cool and then squeeze it carefully, finally blend it.
Drain the ricotta, add the eggs, the chopped chard, the marjoram and 70 g of Parmesan.
Mixing the various ingredients with a spoon and gradually adding the breadcrumbs, a soft dough will be added, add salt and nutmeg to taste.
E’ now it is possible to start working the dough to give the typical shape of elongated gnocchi to rabatons, after having floured the work surface.
Blanch the rabaton for a few minutes in boiling salted water until they come to the surface. Drain them gently and place them in a buttered baking dish. Add the remaining flaked butter, parmesan and sage; cook in a preheated oven at 200° until well gratin.
