Borlenghe With Lardo And Prosciutto

Although it is not wrong to take these medications, they are rarely our first line of attack against personal suffering. Instead, we should first consider that God can bless us through our suffering, and we might also weigh the possibility that psychiatric medications could numb us to the refining benefits of suffering. There is a worthwhile point here. Although it may sound strange or even unloving to those who don’t share a biblical position, there can be real benefits from having our faith tested and strengthened through trials.

INGREDIENTS

2	c	Pasta flour
1	t	Salt
1		Egg, beaten
5 1/2	c	Water
1/4	lb	Lardo, plus 2 tablespoons

		leaves
2		Cloves fresh garlic, finely
		minced
1	T	Freshly ground black pepper
2	c	Freshly grated
		Parmigiano-Reggiano

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the flour, salt and egg in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 cups
water and beat with a whisk for 5 minutes or until very smooth.
Quickly stir in remaining water. Allow to stand 1 hour. (The batter
will appear very thin, almost milk-like, but do not worry).  Stir
together 1/4 cup lardo, prosciutto, rosemary, garlic and black  pepper
in a mixing bowl until smooth and set aside.  To cook borlenghe, heat a
14- to 16-inch non-stick pan over medium  heat and brush with a 1/4
teaspoon of remaining lardo. Pour enough  batter to coat pan (just like
a crespella) and return to heat. Cook 4  minutes on the first side and
turn carefully. (The texture will not  be like a crespella, or anything
else, for this is an original and  distinct delicacy. It may crack, but
keep going). Continue until all  the batter is finished, or about 10 to
12    borlenghe.  To serve, reheat borlenghe quickly in same pan,
spread with 1  tablespoon prosciutto mixture, sprinkle with grated
cheese and serve  warm, folded into quarters.  Yield: 4 servings~
