Salumi with Grape Mostarda and Whole Wheat Gnocci Fritti

amanda

Equipment

  • - Pasta Roller (for rolling out dough for whole wheat gnocchi and ensuring uniform thickness)

  • - Salami Slicer or Chef's Knife & Cutting Board (to slice salumi into desired shapes and sizes, essential for achieving the perfect texture in your dish)

  • - Mixing Bowls (2) (essential for preparation stages; one for grape mostarda and another for gnocchi mixture)

  • - Large Pot or Stockpot (for cooking whole wheat gnocchi to al dente perfection, as well as potentially simmering salumi in a flavorful bath if desired)

  • - Food Mill or Fine Mesh Strainer (to remove seeds from grape mostarda ingredients without excessive loss of fruit juices)

  • - Baking Sheet Lined with Parchment Paper (ideal for baking whole wheat gnocchi fritti to a golden brown, ensuring they do not stick and are easy to remove)

  • - Cutting Board (2) (for preparing salumi and grape mostarda ingredients safely on separate surfaces)

  • - Kitchen Scale (useful for precise measurements of dough portions or salumi slices, ensuring consistency in the recipe's presentation and taste)

  • - Non-stick Skillet (for frying gnocchi fritti to perfection with minimal oil usage)

  • - Wooden Spoon or Spatula (for stirring ingredients during cooking processes, particularly useful when preparing grape mostarda and salumi mixtures)

  • 6 cups stemmed seedless red grapes (about 2 pounds)

  • 1 cup chopped red onion

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup Champagne vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons mustard seeds

  • 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • Peel of 1 orange, removed in strips with vegetable peeler

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons warm (105°F to 115°F) whole milk

  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast

  • 3/4 cup (or more) whole wheat flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon (scant) salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 7 tablespoons lukewarm water

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil plus more for coating bowl

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Bring all ingredients except mustard to simmer in heavy large pot over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer until liquids thicken and grapes are soft but most are still intact, stirring often, about 30 minutes. Mix in mustard. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cool, cover, and chill.

Instruction 2

Stir warm milk and sugar in small bowl; mix in yeast. Let stand until mixture looks spongy, about 6 minutes.
3

Instruction 3

Combine 3/4 cup flour, salt, and cayenne in large bowl. Add 7 tablespoons lukewarm water, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and yeast mixture; stir until soft slightly sticky dough forms. Coat another large bowl with olive oil. Add dough and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Instruction 4

Knead dough on work surface until smooth, sprinkling lightly with more flour if very sticky. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 2-inch-wide 1/3-inch-thick rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap.
5

Instruction 5

Set pasta machine to widest setting. Run 1 rectangle through machine 6 times. Cut dough in half crosswise; turn machine to next-narrower setting. Continue to run dough through machine, adjusting to next-narrower setting after each 6 passes, until each strip is about 4 inches wide, 12 inches long, and 1/16 inch thick. Repeat with second dough rectangle. Cut each dough strip crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips.

Instruction 6

Pour canola oil into large saucepan to depth of 1 inch. Attach deep-fry thermometer to pan; heat oil over medium heat to 350°F. Fry dough in batches until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle hot gnocchi with cheese. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 350°F oven about 5 minutes.
