AMARETTI MORBIDI ALO ZENZERO - ginger soft amaretti
This recipe is one of Luca Montersino's book Golosi di Salute. Montersino's recipes are always amazing and this one does not disappoint!
I had bought a carton of egg whites from Waitrose and had some left after having baked Pannacotta and I was looking for the right recipe to use them up.
The Amaretti are amazing warm just out of the oven, but a few ours later their flavour matures and they are even better. They are very similar to the Mombaruzzo ones but with the ginger adds an extra depth to the flavour and makes them more interesting.
Here goes the recipe:
130 g peeled almonds or ground almonds
5 g stem ginger
55 g sugar
165 whites
110 sugar
icing sugar to finish
Process almonds, 55 g sugar and stem ginger. In the meantime whisk the egg whites with the 110g of sugar (add the sugar once the egg whites are almost solid ). Gently fold the almonds mixture into the firm egg whites and then , with the help of a spoon, roll small portions of the mixture into the icing sugar to form a ball.
Place the balls onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in oven at 220-230 ° C for 10 minutes.
