People, at least American people, are weird about prunes. Just Because These Prunes and Mascarpone Are Delicious Doesn't Mean Everyone Will Try Them My husband declared this the best dessert published on SNFD in the last 10 years.
It is one of those desserts where you take the first bite, not expecting a lot, and then have to restrain yourself from immediately shoveling down the rest of the plate. The result is a slightly savory, not-too-sweet, but sweet-enough concoction that is mellowed by the whipped mascarpone. And that is it! You spoon the mascarpone on a platter, and top it with the prunes scraping out every bit of the delicious sauce over the mascarpone. I buy the best mascarpone I can get my hands on and then whip it up with a wire whisk. The prunes are stewed for about an hour in a generous amount of red wine, a little sugar and a couple cinnamon sticks, until the liquid is mostly gone and what remains is a prune-studded, delicious sticky sauce. What is to Love About Wine-Stewed Prunes and Mascarpone? We passed and the waiter, to his extreme credit, brought them to us anyway. Interestingly, even after the waiter's solid recommendation, the consensus at the table was to pass on the prunes. Our waiter was aghast exclaiming "Of course you will be ordering the prunes they are the best thing on the menu." I said nothing, however, and watched as the table ordered an assortment of desserts that did not include the prunes. When it was time to order dessert, which none of us needed, I perused the menu and zeroed in on the Red Wine Prunes and Mascarpone. The recipes for both are coming soon to SNFD.Ĭlick to download our free e-cookbook: 15 Recipes To Make You Look Like A Star We of course had an over-the-top dinner and the cavatelli, which is a type of hand-rolled pasta that uses a good amount of ricotta cheese in the pasta dough, was unspeakably good. In all honesty I had no idea what cavatelli was, but I knew Deena, whose Italian grandfather taught her to cook, would not steer me wrong. On my last visit she put Frankies 457 on the restaurant list, explaining they make the most delicious Sausage & Brown Butter Cavatelli. Whenever I visit she lines up an incredible array of restaurants and New York experiences for me. My good friend, and almost-daughter Deena, lives in Brooklyn. Please humor me for a moment and then race into your kitchen and make this delicious prunes and mascarpone concoction. I know I have already lost a few of my readers, as prunes in any form may not be high on your deliciousness Richter scale.
