Step into the enchanting world of Sicily, where every bite tells a story steeped in tradition and cherished memories.
Today, we invite you on a culinary adventure to discover Tirrimulliru, a hidden gem nestled in the medieval charm of Randazzo, an exquisite town at the foothills of Mount Etna.
This delectable dessert has captured the hearts of locals and travellers alike with its unique blend of flavours and aromas.
At its heart lies a magical ingredient: cooked wine, meticulously crafted from must infused with fragrant orange zest, cinnamon, and cloves.
Randazzo's Tirrimulliru takes centre stage during the joyous Christmas festival, offering a sensory experience that transports you to the rich tapestry of Sicilian tradition.

👨‍🍳 Preparation

1

Pour the cooked wine into a saucepan on the stove and let it cool slightly.
2

Gradually add the flour to the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent lumps, until you have a homogeneous and thick dough.
3

Add the chopped walnuts, almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts to the dough for added crunch and flavour.
4

Incorporate a teaspoon of cinnamon into the dough, mix well, then turn off the heat and let the dough cool.
5

With lightly oiled hands, shape small portions of dough into ovals and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
7

Brush the baked Tirrimulliru with remaining cooked wine for a shiny finish and enhanced flavour.
8

Allow them to cool completely before serving, ideally with a glass of sweet wine.

💡 Tips and Variations

For an extra citrusy kick, try adding grated orange zest. Alternatively, you can substitute the dried fruit with dried figs or orange pulp for a different flavour profile.

📦 Storage

• Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispiness.
• Keep at room temperature or in a cool, dry place, avoiding high temperatures and humidity.
• Consume within 5-7 days for optimal taste and texture.

🍷 Pairing

To enhance your Tirrimulliru experience, pair it with a glass of Moscato di Pantelleria Naturale. This sweet wine, with its golden hue and aromatic taste, beautifully complements the dessert's sweetness and nutty, cinnamon notes.
