Not what you would usually expect when thinking about Italian food but rather an intriguing bite made with fine Italian ingredients, because cooking after all should be fuel by creativity.
\nFor this this finger food I\u2019ve used Grana Padano puffed rind as gluten free cheesy crouton and the beef tartar sits right above it with all of its garnishes.
\nHearty and umami, each element complement each other. I strongly recommend the use of Grana Padano Riserva aged over 20 months if you can here as you need a full-bodied cheese to play in harmony with the beef and coffee powder aroma.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”ingredient_sec” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-6px|||||” custom_padding=”4px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”90%” custom_margin=”-19px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”6px|||||” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Ingredienti” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|700|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

You can make the puff rinds well ahead. With a wet cloth polish the outer part of the cheese rind. You can even use a cheese grated or the back of the a knife to scrape a very thin outer layer of rind. If necessary, rinse the rind with cold water and pat dry.
\nFor this the rinds needs to be very well dried. Place the piece of rind onto a microwave safe dish layered with backing parchment and \u2018bake\u2019 for 2 minutes at maximum power. The rind should have puffed by now, at least doubled in size, and be nice and golden, if not, continue to cook by steps of 30 seconds until it does. If it browns to much in some areas don\u2019t worry as it can be removed with a paring knife.<\/h4>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”recipe_single_button” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Merriweather||on||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”26px” background_color=”gcid-26f0371c-74dd-4e63-bbf8-f8ec94f09a6d” transform_scale=”90%|90%” text_orientation=”center” width=”15%” width_tablet=”24%” width_phone=”25%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”0px||20px|-10px|false|false” custom_padding=”15px|20px|15px|20px|false|false” border_radii=”on|50px|50px|50px|50px” border_style_all=”none” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-26f0371c-74dd-4e63-bbf8-f8ec94f09a6d%22:%91%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

Let the puffed rind cool on a rack or on a kitchen towel and check the crispiness. If there are chewy areas they can be removed with a paring knife. You can now cut the rind into little crostini as you please. I used a pastry ring to make it as fancy as possible but I kept all the trimmings and crumbs to top pasta.
\nThe puffed rinds keep for more than 2 weeks in a airtight container in a cool and dry place.<\/h4>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”recipe_single_button” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Merriweather||on||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”26px” background_color=”gcid-26f0371c-74dd-4e63-bbf8-f8ec94f09a6d” transform_scale=”90%|90%” text_orientation=”center” width=”15%” width_tablet=”24%” width_phone=”25%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”0px||20px|-10px|false|false” custom_padding=”15px|20px|15px|20px|false|false” border_radii=”on|50px|50px|50px|50px” border_style_all=”none” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-26f0371c-74dd-4e63-bbf8-f8ec94f09a6d%22:%91%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

Prepare the pumpkin the day before. To roast the pumpkin place the slices on a baking dish lined with parchment and dress with a drizzle of oil, salt, pepper and add the smashed garlic cloves and sage to tray. Cover with foil and back at 180 until soft and fully cooked. This can take about 45 minutes or even longer if the slices are quite thick. Check the sliced by piercing them with a fork. I usually bake the last 20 minutes without foil to let some humidity out and give some colour to the pumpkin slices.<\/h4>\n

Let the cook pumpkin cool and place the pulp onto a sieve to lose as much water as possible. I usually allow it to drain overnight in the fridge. At this stage blitz the pumpkin pulp along with the peeled garlic in a powerful blender until smooth and adjust the seasoning to taste. The pumpkin puree needs to be sooth and firm; to get it perfect a 15% of boiled potatoes while blending can help you bind the puree to a more firm consistency.
\nLet the puree cool down and place it into a squeeze bottle. Serve at room temperature.<\/h4>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”recipe_single_button” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Merriweather||on||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”26px” background_color=”gcid-26f0371c-74dd-4e63-bbf8-f8ec94f09a6d” transform_scale=”90%|90%” text_orientation=”center” width=”15%” width_tablet=”24%” width_phone=”25%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”0px||20px|-10px|false|false” custom_padding=”15px|20px|15px|20px|false|false” border_radii=”on|50px|50px|50px|50px” border_style_all=”none” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-26f0371c-74dd-4e63-bbf8-f8ec94f09a6d%22:%91%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22,%22background_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

For the Grana Padano sauce simply bring the cream to simmer than add the finely grated cheese and remove from the stove. Mix and let the reaming heat melt the cheese. Only now add salt if needed (the cheese is tasty already). Let the sauce cool and pass it through a fine sieve if any lumps have formed are you need this too to be cold and very smooth. Place it in a squeeze bottle like the pumpkin puree. Serve at room temperature.<\/h4>\n

For the beef tartar. Prepare this only 30 minutes before serving. Chop finely or ground the beef and season it well with salt, black pepper, the egg yolk, chopped chives and a good glug of extra virgin olive oil. Let it sit on the side for a few minutes to marinate.<\/h4>\n

Prepare the little bites with care, take your time and don\u2019t waste your efforts now.
\nPrepare dollops of beef tartar and top them with the pumpkin puree and the Grana Padano sauce. Now garnish with a sprinkle of coffee powder and chopped toasted hazelnuts.

Keep all the trimmings and crumbs from the Grana Padano puff rind, they are delicious mixed with pangrattato to bread anything or even simply sprinkled over pasta.<\/h4>\n
Please note: this is a finger food. You will have more cheese sauce and pumpkin puree than you need, but it\u2019s definitely more difficult to work with smaller quantities. You can freeze both or use them for a delicious pasta or risotto.<\/h4>\n
