Instructions

  1. 1 Place garlic and salt in a mortar; smash and mash with the pestle until it becomes a paste, 5 to 8 minutes. Add walnuts; mash walnuts into a paste until you reach your desired texture (coarse or smoother), another 5 to 8 minutes. Add parsley and mash to break up and blend with the walnut/garlic mixture, about 4 minutes. Add lemon juice and olive oil; stir, mash, and emulsify liquids into the mixture until it becomes very thick and well blended, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. If mixture seems too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of water, or as needed.
  2. 2 Spread on bread, use on pizza or pasta, or on roasted chicken. The taste is just like garlic butter, so use it as such.

Instructions

  1. 1 Inspect 4 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until ready to use. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water. Alternatively, sterilize jars in the dishwasher.
  2. 2 Combine peppercorns, celery seeds, mustard seeds, and allspice berries in a small bowl; divide evenly among the prepared canning jars.
  3. 3 Pack onions vertically into jars, alternating tips-up and tips-down to snugly fit.
  4. 4 Bring water, vinegar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Pour hot liquid into jars over onions, leaving ½-inch headspace at the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after filling to remove air bubbles. Wipe the rims of jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw-on rings.
  5. 5 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 15 minutes.
  6. 6 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 6 to 12 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down.
  7. 7 Store in a cool, dark place, undisturbed, for at least 4 weeks before serving.

  1. 1 Whisk together milk, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand, covered with a kitchen towel, until mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Sift flour into milk mixture. Add oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt; stir with a rubber spatula until mixture is well combined and a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a work surface and shape into a ball; knead until smooth and soft but slightly sticky, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Shape dough into a ball and lightly brush with oil; transfer to a large bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm (70 to 80 degrees F (21 to 26 degrees C)) place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  4. 4 Stir together mozzarella and ricotta in a small bowl. Season with remaining pinch of salt; stir to combine.
  5. 5 Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a 5x8-inch oval, about 1/4 inch thick, on a lightly floured work surface. Spread about 1/4 cup cheese mixture over each oval, leaving a 11/2-inch border uncovered. Fold the long edges of each oval inward to meet at the center and pinch the seam together tightly to seal in cheese mixture. Turn dough over, so the seam side is down. Use a small, sharp knife to make a shallow lengthwise slit down the center of the top layer of dough, stopping within 1 inch of each end. Use your fingers to roll each long edge away from the slit and tuck it under to create a rolled border, sealing in some of the cheese mixture.
  6. 6 Evenly divide and spread remaining cheese mixture (about 1/4 cup each) in the centers of each flatbread, lightly pressing into dough. Arrange flatbreads 2 to 3 inches apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover with a kitchen towel in a warm place (70° to 80°F) until slightly puffed, 25 to 30 minutes.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  8. 8 Bake, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until edges are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Use a spoon to make a well in the center of the filling in each flatbread. Put an egg yolk in each well. Bake until yolks are thickened but still runny, 30 to 40 seconds more.
  9. 9 Transfer flatbreads to a serving platter. Top each with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Stir yolks into melted cheese. Serve hot.
