... celebrate a taste of Christmas with us! The Bolognese Rice Cake
Called the "torta degli addobbi" (Celebration cake) it was offered when streets and windows were adorned with their characteristic drapings for the town procession. This tradition, set up in 1470 by Cardinal Paleotti still continues today
Ingredients
 | 1 litre milk |
| 100gr rice |
| 200gr sugar |
| 100gr vanilla sugar |
| 5 eggs |
| 50g of candied citron chopped |
| 100g almonds, toasted then chopped |
| 1 lemon peel |
| bitter almonds liquor or Amaretto di Saronno |
| 100g macaroons |
| breadcrumbs |
Method
Put the milk, the lemon peel and sugar (not the vanilla sugar) in saucepan. As the milk begins to boil, add rice, stirring quickly with wooden spoon. After this time or when done, the mixture will have to become dense. Set aside the rice mush to cool for one day on the fridge (the rice will absorb all the milk).
Beat the eggs. Add the rice mush, beating it into the eggs. Add the vanilla sugar, the chopped almonds, the cut candied peel/citron and the crushed macaroons mixing well.
Pour the rice/egg mixture into the pan levelling it off, 3-4 cm thickness. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Place the pan into the oven preheat to 180°C and bake for 40-45 mn.
As soon as you remove the cake from the oven pour the liquor over it, whilst hot pierce cake in several places with a fork. Serve rice cake no earlier than 24 hours after making it! Preferably let it mature for 2/3 days in the fridge.
To serve it in the traditional Bolognese manner, cut the cake into a diamond cross-hatch pattern (about 3/4 cm long).
