The recipe for this dish was provided by the restaurant of the Hotel Varaždin in Varaždin.
SCRAPS MADE WITH LARD
Ingredients:
- 800g wheat flour (Type 550)
- 4 dl lukewarm water
- 12g salt
- 100 dl oil
- 160g lard
- Salt
- Pepper
Preparation: From the ingredients listed, knead the dough. It should not be sticky to your fingers. If it is, add a little more flour. Let the dough rest for at least half an hour.
Boil around 20 dl of water in a large pot and salt it. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Tear pieces of dough and stretch them thinner with your fingers, then drop them into the boiling salted water. Occasionally stir with a wooden spoon. Let it cook for a few minutes until the scraps float to the surface.
At the end, remove about 5 dl of the liquid. Drain the remaining dough and rinse with cold water.
In a pan, heat the lard, add the remaining liquid, then add the cooked scraps and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a seasonal salad. Enjoy your meal!
