Dulcia Domestica
|
Original RecipeDulcia domestica (from Apicius' De Re Coquinaria)Dulcia domestica: palmulas vel dactilos excepto semine, nuce vel nucleis vel piper tritum infercies. sales foris contingis, frigis in melle cocto, et inferes. TranslationLittle home confections (which are called dulciaria) are made thus: little palms or (as they are ordinarily called) dates are stuffed — after the seeds have been removed — with a nut or with nuts and ground pepper, sprinkled with salt on the outside and are candied in honey and served. Ingredients:
200g fresh dates (dried can be used, but soak in white wine the night before to plump them up) Method:Carefully stone the dates and fill them with the ground nuts (or pine kernels) [if desired add black pepper to the ground nuts before using it as a stuffing; the original recipe actually suggests stuffing the dates with only pepper but this may be too hot for modern tastes; however remember that pepper and fruit is a good combination]. Place them carefully in a saucepan and add the Liquamen, red wine and honey. Gently bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook gently until the surface skin of the dates starts to peel off (should take about 5–10 minutes). Place the dates in a dish and drizzle with some of the wine sauce. |
