Acciuleddi Carnival

L'impasto per gli gli acciuleddi sardi di Carnevale è semplice e veloce da fare: it is sufficient to put all the ingredients on the work surface and knead until you get a firm dough, homogeneous, slightly sticky but that does not stick to your hands. Qualora l'impasto risultasse troppo appiccicoso, add a little semolina. You'll have to knead about ten minutes. Then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours: Like this, l'impasto acquisterà elasticità e vigore e non sarà più appiccicoso.

Prelevare dall'impasto piccoli pezzi e, as you can see in the video, cut into thin cords (more will be thinner and the Acciuleddi will be graceful and beautiful to look at). Once obtained thin chains, fold them in half and place them on the work surface. Pressando leggermente l'estremità sinistra sul tavolo, use your right hand to roll up on itself the cord, so that it is tightly. Raise them on the string, It will scroll from self only, rifinite l'acciuledda come vedete nel video e poggiatela su un tagliere cosparso con la semola. Proseguite fino ad esaurire l'impasto.

Acciuleddi Carnival, Sardinian recipe

When all are ready Acciuleddi, Heat plenty of oil seeds like at a temperature of 160 degrees (I use a wok for frying and a cooking thermometer) Acciuleddi and fry a few at a time: vedrete che appena immersi nell'olio si gonfieranno e diventeranno dorati, just as it happens in the video recipe. You have to get a golden color and uniform, not too clear, so that they are crispy Acciuleddi. Scolare gli acciuleddi e sistemarli su carta assorbente per eliminare l'unto in eccesso. When all are cooked Acciuleddi, pour into a large saucepan honey and orange zest grated.

Heat over low heat and, when honey is liquid, Add (Also in stages if the pan is not wide enough) the Acciuleddi. Stir gently so that the Acciuleddi are evenly coated with honey and then arrange them with the pliers on a serving dish. This is a task you have to do as long as they are hot Acciuleddi, because then the honey will harden and it will be difficult to move them without breaking them. Melt the honey again remained in the pan (se fosse poco aggiungetene un altro po') e aggiungere le scorze d'arancia candita tagliate sottilissime. Pour the hot mixture of honey and orange on Acciuleddi and let cool completely. I advise you to wait at least 3-4 hours to enjoy the Sardinian Acciuleddi Carnival, or even a whole day, so the flavors have time to blend. Bon appétit!
