Torrone Sardo is a typical product of Sardinia, known in particular as the nougat Tonara, the country that primarily produces this delicious nougat, which can be enjoyed all year round but especially Christmas. The Sardinian nougat or nougat Tonara is a product made from honey rather than sugar, so it is not white, but ivory is made with honey and almonds, sardines, and until recently was only produced in a craft in the copper kettle on the stove and called on cheddargiu of brick, foredda.
The recipe for the Sardinian nougat or nougat Tonara
The Sardinian nougat can be prepared at home, if you want to offer their guests at Christmas or eat with the family. The Sardinian nougat is made with these ingredients:
500/600 gr. Almond sardines;
500 gr. Sardinian honey;
2 egg whites;
wafers.
How Sardinian nougat? First, stripping the almonds, even after passing it in boiling water for easier peeling. The almonds are chopped and then passed into the oven to toast, leaving some more broken coarsely chopped and not at all. Then dissolve the honey in a saucepan over low heat, leaving you beat the egg whites until stiff and join the honey into the pan, continuing a lavorare il composto a fuoco basso per almeno 45 minuti, utilizzando un cucchiaio di legno. Infine vanno aggiunte le mandorle tostate e tritate al composto e si continua a lavorare sempre a fuoco basso per circa mezz'ora. Una volta tolto il composto dal fuoco, questo va messo nel recipiente dove si vuole far raffreddare il torrone sardo, precedentemente foderato con le ostie un pò umide; per capire bene se il composto è pronto, si può controllare se si stacca facilmente dal tegame. A questo punto il torrone sardo o torrone di Tonara è pronto, bisogna lasciarlo raffreddare e poi si può mangiare tranquillamente tutti insieme!
Per chi volesse fare un giretto in Sardegna non d'estate, esiste la Sagra del torrone di Tonara which usually takes place in this village on Easter Monday, during which the Sardinian nougat is prepared and eaten in the square immediately after cooling!
