- 1/4 cup raisins
- 3 cups chestnut
flour
- 2-1/2 cups water
- 6 tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 2 fresh rosemary
sprigs, finely chopped
Soak the raisins in
water to cover for 1 hour.
In a bowl, mix the
flour, water, 2 tablespoons olive oil and the salt
to form a creamy dough.
Add 3 tablespoons pine
nuts and the rosemary.
Preheat oven to 450°F
(230°C). Pour the remaining oil into an 11-in tart
pan (do not use a pan with removable bottom) and add
the dough. Do not pour off excess oil.
Drain the raisins.
Sprinkle the dough with the raisins and the
remaining pine nuts. Bake for about 20 minutes or
until the surface of the castagnaccio begins to
crack.
Pour off the excess
olive oil. Remove castagnaccio from the pan and
serve warm.
