Bonus Recipes from “5280: The Cookbook”

A handful of dishes and condiments were too good to let fall by the wayside even if they didn’t fit into 5280: The Cookbook itself. These items either bolster existing recipes in the book or offer solutions as to what to do with leftover ingredients. —Amanda M. Faison, Food Editor

The Kitchen’s Balsamic Onions (to be served with the Beet Burger, page 57 of 5280: The Cookbook)

Recipe by executive chef/co-owner Hugo Matheson

2 onions

extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup balsamic vinegar

1 bay leaf

Julienne the onions (the thickness should be about the size of the back of your knife). In a large sauté pan, add the oil and start on medium-high heat, add the onions and sprinkle with salt. Sweat the onions but do not caramelize them (there should be no color). When evenly cooked, add the vinegar and reduce 15 to 20 minutes. The onions should be tacky, like reduced balsamic vinegar.

Luca’s Basic Pasta Dough (to be served with Bolognese, page 73 of 5280: The Cookbook)

Recipe by executive chef/owner Frank Bonanno

(4 servings)

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups semolina flour

1 teaspoon salt

10 egg yolks

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼–½ cup cold water

If using a stand mixer, attach the dough hook. Add all ingredients, with the exception of the water, to the bowl and mix. Add water as needed until dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl.

If not using a mixer: Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl; make a well. Add egg yolks and olive oil; mix with a fork until dough comes together. Knead by hand for a few minutes, adding water as needed to help dough come together.

Wrap in a moist towel and let rest 1 hour. Then, run dough through a pasta machine on preferred setting to shape into noodles.

To make pappardelle (for the bolognese recipe on page 73): Using a pasta-rolling machine on the widest setting, dust the dough with flour and make one pass through. With consecutive passes, reduce the thickness setting on the machine by two numbers at a time, roll the dough through until you have a substantial noodle. With a knife, cut sheets of dough about 6 inches long and the width of the machine. Using a fluted cutting wheel, cut ¾-inch strips of pasta and dust with flour. Cook the pasta in generous amounts of salted, boiling water until al dente. Drain and add pasta directly to the warm sauce.

Note: Sake kasu, also called sake lees, is a byproduct of sake making. It can usually be found at Asian markets in the refrigerated section.
