Every year at home preparing for Christmas, the turnovers, the most famous calzoncelli like chestnuts. I think every region but every family has the recipe! I present that of my grandmother, as they always did for all of us ! Whenever always seem better, last year took out the package with the recipe and I ho copiato per me e per voi :) Con questa ricetta vi lascio i miei auguri per un sereno 2011!!
Ingredienti:
x la sfoglia :
1 kg di farina
4 uova intere
100 g di burro
200 g di zucchero
350 g di vino bianco circa ( o spumante)
x il ripieno :
2 kg di purea di castagne (3 kg di castagne fresche con la bucccia)
75 g di cacao
200 g di zucchero
350 g di cioccolato fondente
200 g di miele
Procedimento:
Prepare the filling first, starting from 3 kg of fresh chestnuts in their skins. Remove the outer peel the chestnuts, place them in a large pot, cover with cold water and cook for about 40 minutes from boiling. When the chestnuts are cooked, drain a little at a time, depriving them of the second peel and pass through a sieve or food mill. The puree can be prepared by the advance and freeze in bags suitable but no more than the 300 g of weight per bag. Melt in a pan in a water bath sugar, chopped chocolate and honey. Add this mixture to the chestnut puree, then add the cocoa and stir until blended.

hours Prepare the dough, pour the flour and make a classical fountain. Add the eggs, softened butter, cut into pieces and sugar.
Begin to knead gradually add the white wine or champagne. The mixture should be soft but not sticky.
work until the dough is smooth and homogeneous.
Roll out the dough very thin, spread the filling by the heaps of stuffed spaced. Turn the dough to cover the piles of compost and crop forming rectangles with wheel cutter (rpocedimento is the same as that of ravioli).
sure that the edges are securely glued panzerotti otherwise moisten with a little water or milk and apply pressure with your fingers. Attention because, if not sealed properly, the turnovers are likely to open during cooking. Fry the turnovers placing them in hot oil and drain on paper towels.
With these doses come out many many turnovers but we are very numerous and lasted a few days:))
