Licurdia – Calabrian Onion Soup

Instructions:

Pour the clear soup or water into a large saucepan. Remove the skins from the onions, cut them in half and add them to the clear soup, along with the butter and salt. Allow everything to bubble up together. Make at low temperature for 1 hour.

Toast the white bread and rub it with the pepper. Put 1 bread on each soup plate and pour the boiling soup over it. Sprinkle with pecorino cheese.

Note

Pecorino Cheese. This hard cheese made from sheep’s milk is often used instead of Parmesan for cooking. It has a much shorter aging time and is ready for use within about 8 months.

There are several types of Pecorino, all of which are slightly different in flavor, consistency and appearance. Pecorino Romano is considered one of the best, while in Sardinia Pecorino Sardo is produced and feeds an entire industry. When choosing pecorino, make sure that it is straw-colored, firm in texture and has a black or possibly reddish-brown rind. The Sardinian Pecorino Pepato is peppered with peppercorns. All these types are excellent for gratinating and cooking, but are rarely eaten in other ways.
