Recipes
Chestnut turnovers
Ingredients for the pasta:
400 gr. whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1/2 glass of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 glass of white wine
50 gr. of sugar.
Ingredients for the filling:
500 gr. of chestnuts
200 gr. about dark chocolate
2 eggs
Pour the flour onto the pastry board and knead it, adding, if necessary, flour or wine as needed, until we have a very homogeneous and smooth dough which we shape until it gives it the shape of a ball, then we wrap it in a napkin and let it rest for half an hour.
In a pan with water and salt we boil the chestnuts and once cooked we peel them and pass them through a potato masher to reduce the pulp into a puree which we put in a bowl with the dark chocolate and the eggs. Mix everything together, adding a little hot milk if necessary.
