Hello Trish,
Sorry, no success with this.

Hi Phaedrus,
On 10-28-09, Trish requested a recipe for Chicken Mulligan soup
>From her description I thought this might work:
Katharine
------------------------------------------------
Chicken Cracker Ball Soup
chicken any parts (cooked and boned)
1 box of saltine crackers
6 eggs
2 c. milk
salt and pepper to taste
you may add carrots, celery, and onion if you wish just like regular chicken noodle soup.
Cover chicken with water. Add chicken stock, cover and simmer until chicken is done.
Remove and debone. Crush (the whole box)crackers in blender or use a food processor,
until they look like sand.
Put into a bowl, add eggs mix slowly. Add the milk until moist. Roll into balls, larger
than marbles, smaller than a ping pong balls.
Bring the soup to a boil and add the balls.
Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Replace the chicken and enjoy.

Hello,
I visited your web site in search of an old authentic italian recipe. It is a specialty
food of molise, italy. It is called "calconi di ricotta rustica." It is a ravioli
stuffed with three different cheese then deep fried. My family called them "past rusticas."
I cannot find any recipes on the internet. if you find one, can you please forward it to me
Thank you
Stephanie
Hi Stephanie,
This dish is mentioned just about everywhere that Molise cuisine is written about, but I
had no success finding a recipe for the dish, which is described as "'calconi di ricotta
rustic' is ravioli stuffed with ricotta, provolone, and prosciutto, then fried in oil."
The closest that I can find is this dish for ricotta fritters called "Calcioni Molisano".
The recipe is here:
Calcioni Molisano

Update 2013: There is a recipe in Italian here: Tastebook
I have this recipe for Panzerotti that looks similar to calconi di ricotta rustica.
It is probably from a neighboring area of Italy.
Timm in Oregon
Panzerotti
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
2 cups and 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
Water as needed
A walnut sized chunk of rendered lard or unsalted butter
Sea salt
For the Filling:
8 ounces ricotta
2 ounces smoked provolone
Abundant parsley, minced
Black pepper, freshly ground to taste
1/4 pound fresh mozzarella
1/4 pound prosciutto
1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated
1 or 2 large eggs
Olive oil for frying
Instructions:
For the Dough: Using just enough water to form the dough, and let it rest, covered,
for an hour.
Place the ricotta through a strainer and then combine it with the eggs and parsley;
grate some black pepper into it and beat well until the mixture is creamy.
Dice the mozzarella and provolone and finely dice the prosciutto. Combine the ingredients
with the ricotta mixture; the filling should be firm but creamy.
Roll the pasta out to the thickness of a dime, keeping the sheet rectangular if possible.
Lay out a row of small walnut sized chunks of filling an inch from the straightest edge
of the sheet, separating them about 2-1/2 inches apart. Fold the sheet over the blebs
and tamp it down well all around them so it sticks, then use the edge of a glass or a
serrated pasta wheel to cut the panzerotti free in the shape of a half moon. Place the
completed panzerotti on a lightly floured surface and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
When you are done making the panzerotti heat the oil and fry them, a few at a time,
until golden brown. Drain them well on absorbent paper and serve at once.

Subject: Pear and walnut jam
Dear Phaedrus,
I wonder if you can find the recipe for Pear and Walnut jam, published in
'Country Harvest: A celebration of Autumn' by Linda Burgess & Rosamond Richardson,
now out of print.
From memory it has pears, walnuts and raisons in, and doesn't need to reach a
setting point - I used to do it in my slow cooker.
Many thanks,
Kate
Hello Kate,
Sorry, I had no success locating that recipe. However, there are a couple of dozen
copies of that cookbook available. Try Amazon:

Hi,
You have helped me twice in the past when no one else could There is a restaurant
in the Dallas area called Johnny Carino's Italian restaurant. They have the best
chianti vinaigrette salad dressing I have ever had. I have searched high and low
trying to find a recipe for it. Could you please help?
Thanks a lot, Gerri
Hi Gerri,
Gerri, there are multiple requests for this recipe on message boards around the
Web, with no recipes. That's a very good indication that no one has been able to
make a copycat recipe, and Carino's does not give out their recipes. So, I'm afraid
it's a lost cause. Sorry. Below are two other chianti vinaigrette recipes, but I
have no idea whether they are similar to Carino's vinaigrette.

Thanks for any help that you may be able to give me.
The recipe that I am looking for is "bread dressing." It is a recipe that my
mother got from my grandmother. The basic ingredients are finely ground/minced beef,
milk and white bread. I am not sure of the remainder of the ingredients. It may be
only herbs and spices. I have not had this since my mom died in 2000. She would
fix it for me every birthday. I think, but am not sure, that it was cooked on top
of the stove. I've exhausted all family members. My brother had it up in Maine,
but he died Christmas day two years ago, before he could send it to me.
Philip,
Hello Philip,
Sorry, I can't find anything like that. There are "bread dressing" recipes, but they
don't have that combination of ingredients.
