Little Wine Cookies / Biscottini al Vino
Easy
SERVES 6 — 8
This interesting rice pie or Torta degli Addobbi, meaning decorations, takes its name from a religious festival that occurs in Bologna. The festivals began in the fifteenth century when a church decree required that every 10 years the sacred church vessels and statues be paraded through the streets. Windows and balconies throughout the city are decorated with colorful flags and banners to celebrate the event.

I love rice pie. We made it and called it pastiera di riso! Flavored with lemon, no citron I don’t believe and it was made for holidays. Especially Easter. I never heard it referred to as Pie of the Sacred Ornaments though. I can never pin a recipe of yours from the article directly to Pinterest. I always get a message that parameters are wrong or something like that. I have an iPad Air which limits me. Anything you can do on your end with these parameters?

My grandmother made a pie like this every Easter, and called it pastia. Her recipe called for the zest and juice of 1 lemon, but no almonds and no citron. She also baked hers in a pie shell–solid on the bottom and lattice on the top. We lost her many years ago, but she lives on in my memory
