We waked up this morning and all the countryside was covered with snow. I opened the window and I felt the cold air thinking: perfect weather for “castagnaccio”!
This is an old and simple recipe made with chestnuts in our countryside. During the winter, in front of the fireplace there were always chestnuts: boiled, roasted or dried. We used to reduce them in flour and prepare them in a way which could replace a soup or the bread: here is the recipe.
Ingredients for 4 people:
gr. 300 chestnut flour
gr. 80 raisin
gr. 30 pine nut
5 walnuts
rosemary
gr. 400 water
olive oil
salt
Pour the flour in a bowl with salt, water and 2 spoons of olive oil, stir until creamy and smooth. Oil a cake pan with 3 spoons of olive oil and pour the mixture (it has to be less then a finger thick). Cover it with raisin, rosemary, walnuts and pine nut. Bake medium heat for 40 minutes.
