INSTRUCTIONS
SOUP RICOTTA TOASTS Preparation of the Soup: In a heavy sauce pan, heat the olive oil and add the diced shallots. Sweat and season with salt and pepper over a medium flame. Once shallots become translucent, add the cubed potatoes and sweat for three minutes. Add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 1/2 hours over medium heat. Remove and puree with an upright blender. Add the blanched broccoli to the puree while blending. Season, strain through a fine strainer and ice immediately. Serve ice cold. Preparation of the Garnish: Slice the Porcini on a very sharp Japanese mandoline and add chives, salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. Preparation of the Ricotta Toasts: Dry toast the bread until crispy and golden brown. Cool and spread ricotta on the toast. Grind black pepper on top and serve with marinated Porcini to finish.
