Requests From: "Brian Krause" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Anyone have a recipe for an Italian Soup called ACQUA COTTA > I had some at a new resturante and it was tremendous.. Acquacotta - Cooked Water 4 ounces of pancetta 1 large onion 1 dried chili pepper 2/3 cup of olive oil (about) Seasonal vegetables (Swiss chard, cabbage, spinach, peas, fava, borlotti beans, carrots, potatoes, zucchini) 2-3 cloves of garlic Slices of bread Chop the pancetta very finely, dice all the vegetables, crush the garlic. Put the pork fat, olive oil, onion, garlic and chili pepper in a large pot and cook over a medium flame till the onions are cooked. Then add all the vegetables and about a quart of water. Bring to boil and then simmer till vegetables are cooked (approx. 45 minutes). Variation: Once the soup is nearly cooked, crack and scramble an egg over it and allow the egg to cook. To serve, place 2-3 day old bread in bottom of your soup bowls and ladle the soup over them. You can also add a splash of olive oil and chili pepper flakes to taste. -- ~~Rec.food.recipes is moderated; only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting.
