This recipe comes from the Province of Chieti and explains how to make the traditional Christmas sweets. It takes time to make but only (maybe) 10 seconds to eat! Ingredients:
1/3 cup goat’s milk (or whole cow’s milk) |
2 cups boiled chick peas, pureed |
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp honey |
1/2 cup sugar |
3.5 oz unsweetened chocolate |
3 tbsp finely chopped pine nuts |
1 cup sweet white wine |
2-3 tbsp simple syrup |
1 recipe fresh pasta dough (forgive me, it doesn't say how much) |
Directions:
1. Cook the milk, chick peas, honey, sugar, chocolate and pine nuts in a pan on a lively heat.
2. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon, without interruption.
3. After 20 minutes of the above operation, add the white wine.
4. 20 minutes after adding the wine, add simple syrup and cook 10 minutes longer.
5. By now the mixture should be creamy and have a distinct perfume.
6. Roll out pastry thinly, and cut dough into 8cm diameter circles.
7. Pour spoonful of the chickpea blend on each in a strip along the middle.
8. Close each circle firmly, pinching between thumb and forefinger.
9. Deep fry in a spacious pan of half canola, half olive oil.
