The gingerbread is a typical rice cake from Camaiore , a Tuscan municipality in the province of Lucca, traditionally served to open the Easter meal, but available all year round in the town’s bakeries and bakeries. It is a fragrant and creamy rustic bite, consisting of a wrapper of crazy pasta and a soft and tasty filling of boiled rice, chopped cooked turnips, eggs, grated Parmesan, ground pepper and ricotta cream, perfect to serve both as an appetizer or as a single dish paired with a portion of grilled vegetables.
The recipe has a very ancient origin and includes slight variations on the theme depending on the family that jealously guards the secret. For example, in some versions the cereal is cooked by absorbing it in boiling milk, in others pecorino is used instead of grated parmesan , while in still others a slice of stale bread is used, already soaked in a drop of water.
If you want, you can season everything like we did with a pinch of nutmeg, or you can make the chard tastier by sautéing it in a pan with a clove of garlic, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of dried chili pepper. crumbled.
For best results, we recommend that you drain the ricotta thoroughly before dissolving it in the hot milk and then opt for rice such as Balilla or Roma : a variety with round grains rich in starch that can perfectly absorb the spices and is particularly suitable for this type of preparation.
A little curiosity. The gingerbread, also called lace cake or beak cake because of its slightly wavy edges , used to be served to guests on the occasion of the patron saint’s festival of San Vincenzo on April 5th, together with a glass of full-bodied red wine.
