Little Mice (Topini)

INGREDIENTS

Preparation time: 1 hour

INSTRUCTIONS

Boil the potatoes in salted water.
Once cooked, peel them and mash them with the appropriate tool. Begin incorporating the flour, always “kneading.”
When the mixture seems to have the right consistency and doesn’t stick to your hands, try dropping two or three small pieces of dough into a pot of boiling water. If they float and don’t fall apart, it means the flour-to-potato ratio is right.
At this point, cut pieces of the dough, shape them into long rolls with your hands, and cut them into pieces about 2 cm apart.
If you want them to look more elegant, roll them on the back of a grater so that they have a hollow center.
For the seasoning:
In a small pan, cook the chopped spring onion with a little water.
When cooked, add the chicken or turkey, cut into strips, and let it flavor.
Then add the peas, previously cooked in the microwave.
Meanwhile, prepare the “light béchamel” with the 100ml of milk and 1 tablespoon of flour in a small pan over the stove.
Once ready, add it to the rest of the seasoning.
To cook the little mice, you’ll need a pot with plenty of boiling salted water.
Drop the topini into the water, and when they float to the surface, collect them with a strainer. Place them in a serving dish and layer them with sauce, then top with more topini and sauce.
