Il Parrozzo
Il Parrozzo (an almond dessert)
The
Abruzzo, land of farmers and livestock breeders, is the home of many typical products. We have chosen a recipe much loved by the
poet Gabriele D’Annunzio - an almond dessert called
Il Parrozzo.
Preparation and ingredients:
- Chop up 200 g almonds then add 150 g semolina, the grated rind of 1 lemon and mix together.
- Whip 6 egg whites into peaks with a pinch of salt
- Mix into the 6 yolks and 200 g sugar and then combine with the almonds and semolina.
- Line a bell-shaped mould with foil, pour in the mixture and bake for 3/4 hour at 180-200°C.
- When cooked, remove from the mould and place on a piece of absorbent paper.
- Decorate the parozzo when cold with melted chocolate and let it harden.
The parozzo is traditionally made at Christmas.
