Silesian Dumplings In Carrot Broth Kluski Slaskie Recipe 355

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake potatoes until cooked through and tender, about 1 hour. Set aside to cool slightly. When potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, halve and scoop out flesh. Run warm potato flesh through a potato ricer or sieve, then spread onto a baking sheet to cool slightly. Transfer potato mixture, along with yolks and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, to a bowl. Stir with a fork to incorporate. Sprinkle in potato starch, stirring until mixture just comes together. Turn mixture onto a work surface and press into a rough rectangle. Fold dough in half, then rotate a quarter turn and fold again. Repeat folding and turning two more times, taking care not to overwork, until dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Make Stock: Pulse dried mushrooms in a food processor until finely ground. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, ground mushrooms and ¼ cup water, and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thick, soft and golden, about 15 minutes. Stir in ½ teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and lemon juice. Stir in carrot juice. Reduce heat to lowest setting to keep stock warm but not simmering. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and crushed fennel. Set aside. Toss fresh mushrooms with olive oil and a pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. Roast in oven until tender and crisp at edges, 10 minutes. Make Dumplings: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Pull off tablespoon-sized pieces of dough and roll into balls. Press a dimple into center of each ball. Working in batches, carefully drop dumplings into boiling water. Cook until dumplings are tender and rise to surface, about 3 minutes, using a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper-towel lined plate as you go. To serve, arrange dumplings in a shallow bowl. Add roasted mushrooms, then ladle in carrot broth. Finish with a dollop of fennel sour cream, chopped dill and fennel fronds.
