| 39. BROOM-FLOWER DISH GINESTADA (28) Take rice and
make flour of it and sift it through a sieve; and take milk of goats or
of sheep, and if this is not to be found, take almond milk and dissolve
this rice flour in the almond milk or goat milk, in such a way that it
shall be quite clear; and then set it to cook in the pot; and into the
pot you shall cast these things: sugar, and peeled dates, and pine nuts,
and whole, clean, blanched hazelnuts, and the dates cut into the size
of fingers; and cast all fine spices into the pot and stir it constantly
with a stick; and if you wish to make the ginestada white you may make
it in this way, and likewise you may put cinnamon instead of sugar upon
the dishes, and seeds of sour pomegranates; and it is necessary that the
pot rests a little while before you prepare the dishes. |
