A TYPICAL CARNIVAL RECIPE . THE “CICERCHIATA” ( thanks to our English teacher Letizia Cannavina !)
This is a typical cake eaten during the Carnival until Ash Wednesday, because on this day we usually don’t eat meat and cakes of all sorts. Its name derives from the particular shape of this cake, the chickpeas. If you want to make and taste this fantastic and delicious cake, here you are the recipe:
Ingredients for about 8 people: 3 eggs, flour (in a sufficient quantity), some honey, a lemon – the lemon peel must be grated, a glass of olive oil and a pinch of baking powder.
Mix flour with eggs and the grated lemon peel; then add oil and the baking powder until having a medium soft dough. Now make some cylinders with the dough and cut it in small pieces , then try to make them in the shape of chickpeas with the help of your fingers. In a large pan, pour some oil and then fry the small “chickpeas”. After that heat the honey in a large pot and mix the chickpeas softly. Then, on a wet plate, put the chickpeas ring shaper, and decorate with almonds, pieces of chocolate or coloured sugarcoated pills.
Enjoy it
