Malakoff - Dedos de Queso Suizos (página 2 de 2)Home >> Recetas
Página: 1 2 Página precedente
Bate a picos duros 2 claras de huevo e incorpóralas delicadamente a la masa, una vez que ésta haya reposado.
Elimina el vino usado para marinar los dedos y sécalos. Pásalos por harina hasta que ya no estén pegajosos. Esto lo hacemos para que la masa se adhiera a los dedos.
Calienta el aceite a 190C°/375°F - es decir, muy caliente.
Con una pinzas de cocina, remoja un dedo de queso en la masa ...
... y deposítalo suavemente en el aceite, utilizando una canastilla para freir . Aviso kármico instantáneo - si no lo haces suavemente, el aceite salpicará y te quemará.
Frìelos hasta que tengan un bonito color dorado y pásalos a un buen montón de toallas de papel para tratar de que absorvan cuanto aceite se pueda. Es posible que los dedos se peguen a la canastilla. En ese caso deja que se frían completamente, retira la canastilla, déjala escurrir y solo entonces despega los dedos. De otra manera, romperás la masa y se llenarán de aceite. Muy nutritivos pero no especialmente saludables.
Sírvelos como entrada, con una ensalada o una sopa. Son realmente deliciosos, con el queso ligeramente derretido en el interior y perfumados con el sabor ácido del vino blanco, en una masa crujiente de vino blanco. Tal vez puedes organizar un concurso para ver quien puede comer más malakoffs.
Nunca he visto este platillo en un restaurante pero la mayoría de los suizos hacen los malakoff con un queso más común, el Beignet de Vinzel, frito en una rebanada de pan. En el menú de muchos restauranes aparece "Malakoff" pero te sirven el beignet de Vinzel y será difícil convencer a un suizo que le han llamado incorrectamente toda su vida. Ahora que si uno va a terminar siendo el único en hablar correctamente, tal vez es mejor olvidarlo y adoptar la usanza comúin. Pero entonces ¿Cómo llamaríamos a los Malakoff, si el término se usa para hablar del beignet de Vinzel?

- Comment by adina
But you said 2 eggs...If we use the egg-whites what happens to the yolk of the egg? I guess is placed on the flour+wine stuff? Thanks.Adina- #5

Adina, you need two eggs but you use only the egg whites in the recipe.- #6

Dear SirI visited Coeur de la Cote in Vinzel on Friday past, it was the second time I had eaten Malakoff and this time I was delighted to take my wife, we just loved this dish. We are from Scotland and I was really amused to read your comment below!!!!"Beignets de Vinzel is a cult dish from the Swiss coast of Lake Geneva. It would fit nicely into the Scottish Diet."We had a great week-end. Discovery of the trip was sprouted onion seed sprinkled on a smoked salmon salad as a starter as served at Les Allies in Lausanne.I now must search for a suitable Scottish Cheese to malakoff (a new verb for the Scottish vocabulary.) Thank you for the recipe and if you wish a little Scottish Smoked Salmon, let me know I have a little stock in Lausanne.Yours sincerelyRon Palmer Scotland- #7

Dear Mr Palmer, I am most happy that at last a Scot gave our local Swiss deep-frying philosophy its fair chance! If you try with one of the fine Scottish cheeses, try to find one that is not too old (or it will give out its oil and not melt) but still hard enough to withstand the deep frying. Can you confirm they served the Malakoff (whole pieces of cheese covered in batter and deep fried) or did you have the more ubiquitous - in Vinzel at least - Beignets de Vinzel made from grated cheese? The latter are easier to made from a variety of cheeses. As for the Scottish salmon, I am a fiend for this and would be very keen on learning the location of your Lausanne stash of smoked salmon!I hope you had fun in Switzerland and thank you for visiting my blog.

Hi! Could you use rye flour to make these?- #9
- Answered by fx
Melinda, rye is not so cool for a deep-frying batter because it has no gluten. But if gluten is the issue, then yes, by all means do and enjoy this gorgeous treat!- #10

Thank you for offering your site and its marvellous photos. I have been looking up Malakoff recipes for years in hope of reproducing the ones I used to delect on in Luins some years ago. It seems that yours are somewhat different in shape and thickness. Would you have any suggestion on what modifications could be brought to your recipe to approximate the Luins effect? Kind regards- #13

I, also have been looking for recipes for Malakoff for many years. The Malakoff with which I'm familiar is mounded cheese(a combination of gruyere, appenzeller and Emmentaler, grated and mixed with flour and eggs on a very thin slice of French bread. The cheese is mounded on the bread, making sure to "glue" the cheese to the bread, then immersed upside-down in the hot oil. After a few minutes, a beautiful, golden-brown crust appears on the cheese. Remove carefully with a slotted spoon and stand back as your diners attack the wonderful Malakoffs. Best served with Dijon mustard, cornichons or small dill pickles and a green salad with a light mustard vinaigrette.- #14

Constantins, please read my other article about the Beignets de Vinzel which are the ones they serve in Luins under the mistaken name of "Malakoff".- #15

June, please read the other article about the cheese fritters you describe. People in Switzerland call these 'Malakoffs' but this word actually describes the cheese sticks shown on this article.- #16

Good, surely better than scottish deep-fried burgers.- #17
- Answered by fx
Aye Alka, this is made from first rate artisan cheese, unfrozen. But they have plenty of great products up there in Scotland, too bad they seem to export most.- #18

Fx:discard the wine? How much contamination can you get from cheese? What easily available white could I get for this Malakoff?I don't know wines;scotch whisky,yes-wine ,no.- #19

Francois,I can't find the old english "the forme of currye" book.I Googled it ond only found your reference here!!- #20
- Answered by fx
Don, the book you are looking for is called Forme of Cury, you can see it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forme_of_Cury- #21
- Answered by fx
Don, you must use a cheap, over-the-hill, tart white wine for this. It softens the cheese, tartifies it and helps the flour stick. You wouldn't want to drink it after that, but no need to go for some refined vintage.- #22

Well, precisely I have organized a soiree for tomorrow night with Malakofs in a specialized restaurant in Eysins (Vaud, Switzerland). We're all cheese lovers and I must say, despite I am a slim guy, I can eat up to 7 unit of 12cm long, 8cm wide and 3 cm thick....yep, these Malakofs are not for apetizers, THEY'RE THE MAIN COURSE!- #26
- Comment by baxter leveque
31 years since leaving Vaud I finally found a recipe so I can get a Malakoff fix!!! Last time I ate them was in a restaurant on the shores of lake Geneva where they would bring them, two at a time, on a wooden paddle(like a croupiers) and would make a pencil mark on the table for the tally.Many thanks, Bax.
