After a visit to the wonderful , huge
Caserta's Royal Palace (not so far
from Naples) we went to a nice
old restaurant named "Old Royal Mills"
and we ate this typical and
delicate pudding . The chef gave me kindly
the recipe for ... 50 people ! I had to
reduce it just a bit ! It's one
of Claudia's favourite puddings , not so
complicated .
Bring the water to
a boil in a saucepan over hight
heat . Add the semolina in a thin
stream , stirring constantly . Reduce the heat
to a simmer and cook for ten
minutes always stirring . After cooking add
butter and salt . Let aside .
Mix sugar and eggs with
a mixer in a big bowl , add vanilla extract ,
ricotta cheese , milk and candy cytron
rind . Add semolina and mix well . At this
point the recipe says to use a
food mill to turn this
mixture into a puree , for people who
don't like the little diced candy
rind , but I think that with a
good mixer you can obtain the same
result .
Put the mixture in
the greased and floured baking - pan . Bake
in preheated oven (180 °C - 350 F) for about
one hour and a half . Let cool
in the oven then turn the
pudding upside down on a large dish
.
Serve at room temperature
.
