Country Style Pork Roast For Tonight

Mario And Nelly, a Cuban Puertorican marriage established in Puerto Rico since 1965 are coming tonight for dinner. Mario is the perfect Cuban gentleman, an engineer that came to work as an expatriate with ATT in Puerto Rico in 1965, married a Puertorican girl (Nelly) and now is as Puertorican as us, with two children, born here, that are already married. I know that I will have a lot of fun with this "bubbly" couple. Mario will bring a few bottles of Conde de Albarei, a wonderful Albari o with a comparably modest price. Here is the MENU. Buen Provecho!

Calabrian Asparagus Soup
Servings: 6 one cup servings

2 Cloves Garlic - minced
2 tb Olive oil - extra-virgin
2 lb Asparagus - trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly ground pepper
4 c Vegetable Broth - (see recipe) OR canned low-Sodium Chicken broth
4 Eggs
1/2 c Parmesan - fresly grated OR Pecorino, PLUS extra For serving
6 slices Italian bread - toasted

In a large saucepan, cook the Garlic in the olive oil over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook until bright green, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, pepper and Vegetable Broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer until the asparagus are tender, about 15 minutes. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with 1/2 cup of the cheese. Reduce the heat to low so that the soup is no longer simmering, and very slowly ladle about 2 cups of the hot soup into the beaten eggs, whisking constantly. Once incorporated, gradually stir the egg mixture into the soup in the saucepan. Increase the heat to moderately low and cook the soup, whisking constantly, until it just thickens, about 8 minutes. Do not allow the soup to boil or the eggs will curdle. Remove from the heat. Place one slide of toasted bread into each soup bowl. Ladle the hot soup on top and serve with additional grated cheese. Serves 6. NOTE: Thickening soup with bread is typical of rustic Italian cooking, in which nothing goes to waste. The toasts may be made from day-old or slightly stale bread.

1 1/2 ts turmeric
1 1/2 ts cumin powder
