Chianuille: The Southern Italian, Calabrese (e 38)

[@jamesscott7978]

More than a century ago, my great-grandparents emigrated from Paterno Calabro and Donnici Inferiore to the United States. I learned to make chianuille, turdili and scalille from my grandmother and mother, and they continue to be part of our holiday tradition. We just returned from our first-ever visit to Cosenza. What a beautiful and welcoming land it is! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@nonnamia7890]

Donnici!! Close to my hometown. Cosenza is beautiful. I’m so happy you honour these traditions. Bravo!! 🤗🤗

I thank God for KZbin - it has taught me SO MANY THINGS! Be well, Maria, be at peace with your beautiful memories. God Bless You ~♡~♡~♡~

Nonna, grazie per la tua video! Anche I miei antenati sono calabrese. Mi piace tantissimo vedere i tuoi video di cucina! 💖 Sopratutto perché ho già perso mia madre e mia nonna. Buon Natale a te e alla tua famiglia!

[@nonnamia7890]

Mi dispiace di aver impiegato così tanto tempo per rispondere. Sono grato che tu mi abbia scritto e mi dispiace che tu abbia perso la tua mamma. Ti mando un grande abbraccio.🤗💛🙏

[@carmelahowcroft2163]

Nonna Mia, I watched your video with such passion as you making these Chianullde reminded me so much of my dear Mother’s favourite yearly tradition of making these….She is no longer with us, but her traditions live on and my sisters and I try to duplicate her loving recipes but they don’t come out quite as good as hers….We’ll have to live with that, but thanks to wonderful people like you Nonna Mia, our Calabrian traditions with go on and inspire us to make them….Grazie from my heart for your dedication and hard work. You are an inspiration to all of us!!! Be well!!

They look really good, I can’t wait to try it.

[@nonnamia7890]

These are delicious - and you can modify fillings to suit your taste. You can also bake them if you don't want to fry them. It's a very similar process when making folded pizzas / calzone! xx

[@TuckerSP2011]

My paternal grandparents were Calabrese so it's wonderful to find you Nonna!

[@nonnamia7890]

That's wonderful! The recipes vary a bit from region to region, but they are roughly the same. I grew up in Belsito, near Rogliano. Have you been to Calabria yet? xx

Wow. What an act of love for these cookies. My mom and grandma make the turdilli and scalilli, but I have not seen these. Can these be frozen before the honey, like the tirdilli?

[@elenagallucci3581]

Bravissima complimenti potete scrivere gli ingredienti in italiano?😘

[@nonnamia7890]

Google Translate: Ancora una volta, Nonna inizia con un nido di farina da 6 tazze e, come sempre, ha la farina sul lato, da aggiungere secondo necessità. In questa ricetta, aggiunge altre 1,5 tazze nel processo di impastare, arrotolare e tagliare. Aggiunge 7 uova al suo nido, seguite da 1 tazza di olio di canola, 1 tazza di ginger ale, 1 tazza di zucchero e 2 cucchiaini di lievito. Una volta completamente impastato, Nonna lascia riposare l'impasto 20 minuti, poi lo taglia a metà, per lavorare con una metà alla volta. Tira l'impasto fino a renderlo abbastanza sottile, tenendo presente che lo pieghi a metà, quindi non lo vuoi troppo spesso, ma dato che contiene un ripieno, non troppo sottile. Nonna usa un piattino per caffè espresso per tagliare i giri e usa un lavaggio delle uova su metà del cerchio, per aiutarli a sigillarli, una volta riempiti. Vengono preparati due ripieni: il classico, che viene preparato con 1 tazza di gelatina d'uva, 1 tazza di noci e 1/2 tazza di uvetta. L'altro è una tazza di Nutella con 1/2 tazza di noci tritate. Per sigillare i bordi, Nonna usa una torsione sulle Chianuille alla Nutella e una forchetta per quelle alla marmellata.
