Gilding the Lily since 2006
View this post on Instagram I had a nice, big hunk of @nueskes ham (picked up for a ✨song✨ at a @nicky.usa fire sale, leftover from Easter dinner), so I diced it up and tossed it in hot bacon fat with some cottage cheese dumplings that I quickly threw together — Ukrainian-style lenivye vareniki (Ленивые Вареники or “lazy” dumplings). The dumplings are a mix of tvorog (Russian farmer cheese) and homemade cottage cheese from a recipe test for @urbancheesecraft, plus an egg and enough flour to bring it together in a soft dough (rest, cut into dumplings, boil until they float then brown in a pan with hot fat). I served the dumplings on a nice purée of favas with kale, garlic, salad burnet, and the herbs from the earlier photo: lovage, parsley, mint, garlic chives, and thyme, and added a blob of sour cream, fresh dill and chervil. So many herbs! A post shared by Heather Arndt Anderson (@heatherarndtanderson) on Apr 23, 2019 at 7:05pm PDT
