Here Below a typical recipe from Sicilia thanks to the partnership with the blogger Annamaria Iacono, we will prepare this beautiful and tasty recipe.
Today’s proposal are the Flans of Anelletti Sicilian, a typical dish of my region, especially popular in Palermo, but adopted a little anywhere with the addition of some other ingredients, depending on the area in which the recipe is prepared. It is a format of pasta a bit unusual, in the form of small rings, from there, in fact, the name Anelletti, which are seasoned with a tasty meat sauce and then passed in an oven. Depends on the area in which they are prepared, we find them with the addition of fried eggplant, or hard-boiled eggs, which help to make the dish, already good for her, even more tasty. This time I wanted to prepare them for portion size, putting them in the molds for baba, which can be replaced with shapes of cupcakes, but you can also put in a normal pan or baking dish. In either case, the result will always be heavenly!
