Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese, truffle oil, chopped chives, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.

  2. 5

    Cut and Fill

    Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter. Place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle.

  3. 6

    Seal the Dumplings

    Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal tightly, ensuring no filling escapes.

  4. 7

    Cook the Dumplings

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the dumplings in batches and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they float to the surface.

  5. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings from the water. Drain and place on a serving plate.

Garnishing

  1. 9

    Add Garnish

    Top the dumplings with microgreens and a sprinkle of smoked sea salt before serving.
