Valentina’s Christmas Walnut & Honey Stuffed Nivole
Delicious Christmas stuffed
Ingredients
Ferretelle
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Lemon's Grated Zest
- 100 g 00 Flour
- 1 tsp Optional Sambuca or Anise Seeds
Honey & Walnut Stuffing
- 100 g Walnuts
- 2-3 Tbsp Honey
Instructions
- Mix together all the ingdients for the dough, it should be thick enough to roll into balls after being left for 30 minutes
- Once the dough is prepared, proceed with using the ferratella iron. The iron must be heated on the stovetop on both sides, over a medium-low flame.
- Roll the dough into many small balls, about the size of a walnut; otherwise, it will leak out the sides of the iron.
- My grandmother used to say that the cooking time for each side was the time it took to recite an Ave Maria: first on one side, then turn the iron and cook the other side.
- For the filling, once the walnuts are chopped, heat the honey until it becomes runny, then add the walnuts and cook for a few minutes, just until everything combines, stirring constantly.
- Keep the saucepan over a low heat so the mixture stays warm and liquid, fill the ferratelle by spreading the filling over one wafer, then close it with another ferratelle.
- Instead of type 00 flour, you can also use type 0 flour or try with other types of flour. In addition to walnuts, you can also use hazelnuts, almonds, or make a mix. In this case, we used a mix of walnuts and almonds, as shown in the photo.
