Modern Redaction
Ingredients:
100g ground
almonds
salt, to taste
50g sugar
1 tbsp ground
ginger
60ml fennel juice
200ml white wine
Method:
Combine the ground almonds, salt, sugar and ginger in a bowl.
Make the fennel juice by slicing a bulb of fennel (with the leaves). Barely cover with water and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and cook gently for about 20 minutes, or until the fennel is very tender. Drain the pan then wring the fennel in a cloth to extract its juice.
Pour the hot juice into the almond mixture and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Now stir in the wine and set aside to infuse for at least 1 hour before serving.
