Miascia: how to cook the traditional Como Lake’s pie


INGREDIENTS

  • 150 g stale bread
  • 4 dl milk
  • 1 spoon plain flour
  • 1 spoon corn flour (optional)
  • 30 g raisin
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Golden apple
  • 1 pear
  • 1 lemon (rind, optional)
  • 1 little bunch of white grape
  • 1 little branch of rosmary (optional)
  • 50 g sugar
  • 40 g butter
  • 1 pinch of salt

DIFFICULTY: 1 / 5

TIME: 20 min + 60 min cooking

COOKING: Preheaten oven, 180°C for one hour.


PREPARATION

Roughly chop the bread and leave it covered with milk to soak. Let it rest. In the menwhile, soak the raisin too with water. Once the bread is soaked, add a pinch of salt, sugar, the flour(s), the egg, the soaked raisin, the lemon rind and all the other well cut fresh fruits.

Keep in mind that this is a leftover recipe, so it can vary based on what you’ve got in your fridge and pantry. You can change ingredients for instance by adding more dried fruit (nuts, walnuts, pine nuts) or more fresh fruits.

Pour the dough into a tin and cover the mixture with little flakes of butter and, if you’d like to, with some rosmary too. Put it in a preheaten oven at 180°C for around 60 minutes. The result is a very rich and aromatic moist cake.
