Instructions

  1. Wash purslane, spin dry and finely chop. Peel and finely chop the onion and fry in a little butter until translucent.
  2. Mix the ricotta or quark until creamy. Add purslane, onions, egg and spices and stir. Gradually add the flour until a smooth dough is formed.
  3. In the meantime, bring the salted water to the boil in a larger saucepan. Cut off small dumplings with 2 tablespoons and cook in portions in boiling salted water, they are ready when they swim up.
  4. Grease an ovenproof dish with butter or margarine, put the Malfatti in the dish and drizzle with the remaining butter. Put in the hot oven for approx. 5 - 8 minutes at 200 degrees. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan and serve immediately.
  5. This goes well with ciabatta or bâtard.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
