  • 1/4 tsp freshly-grated nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 c. plumped golden brown raisins (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. To make crust: In bowl of food processor, or possibly with your fingertips, combine flour and butter till crumbly. Separate Large eggs, reserving whites for filling, and add in sugar, egg yolks and lemon zest, and pulse till mix combines well. It won't form ball as dough too soft and rich.
  3. Press half pastry onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan so it's very thin. Snap on side of pan, and press remaining dough up sides as thinly as possible.
  4. To make filling: Combine farro, lowfat milk, ricotta, sugar, flour, egg yolks, salt, lemon zest, nutmeg and raisins, if using, in bowl. Beat 4 egg whites till stiff and fold into cheese mix. Spoon into crust.
  5. Bake 45 to 50 min or possibly till almost set. It sets up as it cools.
  6. This recipe yields 6 servings.
  7. Wine Suggestions: Late-harvest dessert wines are complex in every way. Pairing this dolce with a late-harvest wine heightens the viscosity, the bouquet and the subtle acid of both the dessert and the wine. Cap your meal with a chilled bottle of Inniskillin Niagara Peninsula Vidal Icewine.
  8. Comments: This comes from the Gargfagnana region above Lucca. Although not traditional, the addition of half c. plumped golden brown raisins is delicious. This dish can be made many hrs in advance.
