Arnadi recipe. A valencian typical desert. Recipe of Arnadi ----------------------- Arnadí is a typical Valencian desert and it's main ingredient is yam (sweet potato) or sweet pumpkinks, it depends of the cooker. There are a mixed version, made with yams and pumpkins, but in my oppinion, by far the tastiest version is the yams version. It's also the easier version to cook. It's tipically cooked on Easter days at "La Costera" and "Safor". --------------- Ingredients --------------- 3kg of yams (sweet potato) 500g of sugar (1Kg if you have a sweet tooth) 200g of peelled almonds 30g (or less) of pine nuts ---------------- Steps. ----------------- 1 Boil the water 2 Cook the yams (1h aproximately) 3 Peel the yams (when they are hot, immediatelly after they are cooked) 4 Add the sugar 5 Mince the yams and the sugar (you can also stir both instead of mincing) 6 Serve the mixture in a plain bowl 7 Decorate with almonds and pine nuts 8 Bake the arnadi at 150ºC for 30-40 min 9 Let the arnadi get cold and enjoy! –------------------ Well, in the first place boil some water. When water is boiling, add the yams and cook them for one hour. When that's done, peel the yams before they get cold (that makes easier stir the sugar with them). Add the sugar and mince both ingreddients. You can also stir instead of mince, but I like more the texture of minced ones than the stir ones. Then serve the mixture in a plain bowl and decorate it with almonds and pine nuts like in the attached picture. Next place the arnadi in your oven at 150 degrees and bake it 45 minutes or when the almonds were cooked. -Let it get cold and enjoy! PS: The same desert can be made of pumpkins instead of yams, but because pumpkins contains more water than yams you need to put cooked pumpkins in a fabric bag and then hang it for a entire night to let cooked pumpkins to lose some water.
