Sugal Aunt Luciana
Here it is. Finally, a typical recipe. Very typical. Family. A sweet Emilia that when they taste it, you back a bit 'back in time. Why do not you do it, because it was not widespread and that around, at most, it's a version of industrial hazards.
I say dangerously, perché assaggiare quella specie di budino all'uva che vendono tra i banchi dei supermercati, rischia di allontanarti per sempre da questo dolce, così particolare.
A casa mia lo chiamano Sugal. E se chiedo la traduzione in italiano, mi guardano storto. "Il Sugal?? E' il Sugal...". Italianizzato ottengo, al massimo: "Sugali di uva...". E io chiedo: "Ma perché è plurale?". E a quel punto, giustamente, il discorso cambia, con gli sguardi dei parenti che mi danno del saccente.
E si torna a parlare delle solite cose: cerchi nel grano, fisica quantistica, i risultati del cricket, il ruolo di Pechino nella questione mediorientale, eccetera, eccetera.
E allora interrompo di nuovo e dico: "Okay, sorry ... I agree with the Nobel to Liu Xiaobo, but give me the recipe Sugal??" Thus spoke the aunt
Luciana, one of those aunts who really is the aunt of my mother, that she only Sugal does it right. And so I will not change a crumb of the recipe that said to me, even though the board to take a look on the internet, because there are small changes that can make this cake more or less spicy, more or less articulate, more or less good.
Consider this as a good basic recipe and then probably will not change.
Take grapes and knead with a masher, get the juice without the skins or pomace. Then put to boil the grape juice over low heat in a copper pot or earthenware. Add a slice of bread for a few minutes, then recuperatelo. This removes the acidity of the must. Add the flour and a tablespoon of sugar. Cook, stirring, until the mixture reaches a good density, but still liquid. Then pour into rectangular molds and let cool before storing in refrigerator.
In some recipes you plan the addition of anise or quince beginning of the boil. But, in my opinion, you should try Sugal, or Sugal, or Sugali ... as it is, at least the first time.
Ingredients: Black grapes (Italy), 1kg, 3 tablespoons cornmeal, 1 tablespoon white flour, sugar.
