Hives With Swollen Hands

......... I was on holiday in Abruzzo .... The delusion

... and I wanted to share with friends that I've tasted the dishes, but unfortunately it was not possible, so I will only publish the recipes of some dishes.
Panducale
This is' the typical sweet of Atri, a town a few miles from the sea, in the province of Teramo. Town that I visited at the suggestion of Leonardo: definitely a good experience. The sweet (I bought the bakery) should correspond to this recipe.
Ingredients: 6 eggs (yolk and whites separated), 250 g of sugar, 200 g of flour, a packet of baking powder, 100 grams of almonds, 100 g of dark chocolate, 100 g of candied fruit, the grated rind of a lemon, a pinch of cinnamon powder, salt

Procedure: Heat oven to 180 ° C. Chop almonds in candied peel and cut into cubes. Grate the chocolate and the lemon zest.
Grease and flour form a loaf.
Assemble the yolks with sugar until they are very foamy and light. Add flour, almonds, chocolate, candied fruit, lemon zest and a pinch of cinnamon.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt. When they are firm, gently add the first compound.
Bake for 45 minutes. Allow to cool in the oven before you unmold.

There is a light dessert (any sweet it is), but being a reworking of a medieval recipe, I think it may work with the flour and sugar in full. Sooner or later I'll try, if somebody tries first, let me know. However, the percentage fiber (almonds, candied fruit, lemon) and the presence of cinnamon may help to prevent excessive blood glucose levels. Great for breakfast and a snack ....

Arrosticini

The kebabs are a typical dish of Abruzzo are the skewers of 25-30 cm of sheep meat (mutton or sheep), cut into small cubes 1 cm on each side.
are sold ready to cook, cut into small cubes and speared on skewers, but with a little 'patience, can be easily prepared at home. Are easily found (at least in Pomezia) also skewers of turkey, but unlike what may seem, are lighter because they contain a certain degree of fat. But I can be appreciated by those who do not like the particular flavor of mutton.
The traditional cooking is done on a particular dell'arrosticino small brazier. For those who prepare them at home, should a marinade in olive oil, pepper, rosemary and lemon before cooking on a grill or griddle. Typically they prepare a dozen per person.

Separate the good from each other skewers and arrange on a plate in order to anoint them with the marinade (olive oil, lemon and rosemary) for a few minutes.
If you have coals or charcoal, the kebabs and cook disponetevi focus low. Alternatively, heat a grill, griddle or oven.
Just a couple of minutes each side (not convenient to cook them otherwise they become too dry).
