  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6               cups  cubed bread
  1                cup  milk
  1              whole  egg -- and 1 yolk
  1         Tablespoon  heavy cream
     1/2           cup  ricotta
     1/4           cup  grated parmesan cheese -- and a little more to sprinkle on top
                        Fresh grated nutmeg -- to taste
                        Salt and pepper -- to taste
  1           teaspoon  chopped fresh thyme
                        To serve: -- Red Wine Porcini Broth

Cut bread in rough pieces. Place in large bowl and add milk and cream.
Toss and press into milk. Let soak for about 10 minutes. Squeeze out as
much liquid as possible and place in a food 
processor.

In small batches, process until mixture forms a dough consistency. Does
not have to be completely smooth. The mixture should be able to form a
ball with very small chunks of bread still un-processed. Set aside.

In another mixing bowl, beat eggs and cheeses with nutmeg, salt and
pepper. Check for seasoning. Carefully stir in bread mixture, fresh thyme
and check seasoning again.
Form into little football shapes or round dumplings using a heaping
tablespoon of bread mixture and gently panfry, golden brown each side. 

Place 3-4 dumplings on a serving plate and top with 1/2 cup of sauce. 
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve. 

Yield: 6-8 servings or approximately 24 dumplings

Red Wine Porcini Broth
     1/4           cup  dried porcini -- soaked in hot water for 20
minutes and drained
  1                     leek -- white part only, sliced
  2               cups  red wine
  2             cloves  chopped garlic
  1                cup  crushed canned tomatoes -- or 1 cup fresh plum
tomatoes; peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
  2               cups  water -- or vegetable broth
  4         Tablespoon  butter
     1/2          head  lettuce -- or escarole, washed and roughly cut

Place porcini, leeks and red wine in a sauce pan and simmer until mixture
is reduced to a glaze. The wine will be thick and syrupy. 
Add garlic, tomato and water to red wine mixture and continue to simmer
another 20 minutes or so until broth reduces by half. 
Stir in lettuce or escarole and continue to cook until the lettuce becomes
soft and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste and whisk in butter.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
