Stracciatella

The Roman egg-drop soup: a good chicken broth brought to a bare simmer, then swirled with beaten egg, grated Parmigiano and a little semolina so it sets into soft golden rags. Nutmeg and parsley finish it. Ready in minutes, and only as good as the broth you start with.

Instructions

  1. Crack 1 egg into a bowl and beat it with a fork until the yolk and white are completely combined and no streaks remain.
  2. Add 20 g finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano and 1 tbsp fine semolina to the egg, along with a few gratings of nutmeg, a small pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Beat to a smooth, slack batter with no lumps of semolina and leave it to stand while the broth heats.
  3. Pour 350 ml chicken broth into a small saucepan and bring it to a bare simmer over medium heat, the surface should just tremble, never boil hard. Taste and add salt only if the broth needs it.
