Istrian kanat is linden, but it is also delicious: pljukanci with chestnuts, sunflowers and prosciutto feta

Here is another pearl from the Istrian area: pljukanci (macaroni, žbirići) as the famous Istrian pasta, Lovran chestnuts in the original recipe and here only the ordinary ones from the upper Buje region, sun mushrooms, soft and velvety, and prosciutto, what else to say but that it is perfect .

Preparation steps

  • Pljukanci
  • The dough for pljukanci is best kneaded according to the excellent Singstar recipe, while I used the instruction from Istrian cuisine.
  • Dressing
  • Fry the mushrooms cut into pieces (leaves) in butter and simmer for a few minutes.
  • Add sweet cream, finely chopped chestnuts, parsley, salt (Vegeta) and pepper. The topping will thicken in about 10 minutes.
  • Add the dressing to the drained pljukanci and stir with light movements until the ingredients are combined.
  • Serve sprinkled with parmesan and pieces of prosciutto.

Serving

Tip: Although I've been making pljukanci for some time now, I've only recently discovered another "stunt" in preparation, and the result is an extraordinarily pliable dough for making this delicious pasta. It is about making the dough with hot water.
