Ingredients:
- 100
g pine nuts
- 3
egg yolks
- 4
chicken bouillon cubes
- 1
quart cream
- saffron,
ouzo or cayenne pepper
Proceed as follows:
- Purée
a mixture of the pine nuts and the egg yolks in the food processor until you have a fine,
smooth paste.
- Put
this in a saucepan and add one cup of chicken bouillon and one cup of cream. The chicken
stock can be added already at the food processor stage if you have difficulties in
obtaining a smooth paste.This far the dish can be prepared hours in advance.
- Heat
over a gentle fire under constant stirring until the mixture thickens. It must not,
however, be brought to a boil!
- Serve
immediately.
If desired, the aphrodisiac properties can be reinforced by suitable spices. I have tried three equally successful alternatives: 0.5 grams of finely divided saffron, two tablespoons of ouzo and a pinch of cayenne pepper. The spice (but only one of them!) is added before the soup is heated. Especially the saffron gives the dish a pleasing reddish color.
