Wash and chop the anchovy fillets. Heat the oil and butter in a large pot; earthenware if you have one.Finely slice the garlic and add it to the pot. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the garlic is *poco a poco*- just soft. It must not brown or become too golden. Add the anchovies and continue to stir over low heat until they just dissolve, about 10 minutes. The dip should be kept warm at the table, but do not allow it to continue to cook after it is prepared. Peppers, celery, carrots, cauliflower, mushrooms, broccoli, spring onions, boiled potatoes are all good for dipping. Plenty of crusty bread too

A dinner favorite is 1 pound wheat, I pound Fava beans, 1 pound Ceci. Each are soaked over night, rinsed and cooked separately, since they cook at different rates. The wheat has a good consistency if cooked about 3 to 4 hours depending on if it is winter or summer wheat. The Fava beans take about 2 hours and the Ceci takes about 1 hour. The water should be salted with a teaspoon of salt. A Clove of Garlic can be added to each as well as a Bay Leaf. Crushed red pepper can be added to taste. (1/2 teaspoon total)
After ingredients are cooked separately, they are combined. Olive oil is added to form a thin layer on top, about 1/3 cup. The Cuccia is then stirred and served hot in a soup bowl. Some towns added cooked dried

To make the dough, dissolve the dry yeast in a cup of warm water and set aside. Place flour in a large mixing bowl and form a well in the center, add the sugar, salt, oil and the water with the dissolved yeast. Use a wooden mixing spoon or a whisk to stir in the flour with the liquid in the well. Then gradually blend the entire mixture thoroughly by hand until a ball of dough is formed. Knead for two or three minutes until pliable. Add additional flour if necessary to eliminate sticking. Place the dough in a large bowl that has been greased on the entire inside with cooking spray or olive oil. Spray the dough in the bowl also with cooking spray. Cover the dough and let rise at room temperature for about three (3) hours. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead for a few minutes. Use additional flour to avoid sticking. Place the dough in a container and put in the refrigeratorfor two or three hours. Note: This dough, in addition to making pizza shells, can be used for making stromboli, calzones and frittells

The day before:

Mix the spices thoroughly into the salami meat. Pulverize five or six cloves of garlic in a blender, add heated wine and blend again. Put the wine and garlic into the meat and spice mixture and mix well. Let stand over night in the refrigerator.


If you use natural beef casings, wash all salt off and soak in cold water over night. The casings can be kept in the refrigerator, do not have to freeze. (Artificial casings can be used and work equally as well as the natural).


To Make the Salami:

Turn casings inside out put over the faucet and run water out the end. Dry with towel before putting on the stuffer. If you are using artificial casings, soak them in hot water for about 30 minutes before you start to make the salami, to soften. Put all of a length of casing on the stuffer tube. Run some sausage through the tube and the first part of the casing and then tie the end.

Next start making the salami. Grind and make about a one foot sausage. Length of salami is up to you, but about 1 foot size fits into most boiling pots. Once you have stuffed the casing to the desired length, tie the end near the stuffing tube and then tie another string about one inch from this in preparation for the next sausage. Make sure that you leave at least 1 to 1 1/2" of casing after your tie. If you use less, when the salami dries, it will pull out the string and expose the salami meat on the end. Cut in between the two ties. If they open up, just retie it. If you get an air bubble in the sausage casing while you are making the salami, just prick them with a pin. Then put finished sausage on a towel and cover them. Leave out overnight, perhaps turning once or twice. Wrap in saran wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze or refrigerate any that you do not want to ship. Ship them before they are frozen. You can also dry the salami, by hanging them. The best way to hang is from both ends so that the salami is horizontal, to prevent the wine and
spices from going to the bottom of the salami. Dry them until they begin to crinkle in a little. Then take them down and put them in the refrigerator. When ready to use, prick the salami with a fork, then boil for about 1 hour. Serve hot or cold

Cut into pieces about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. Fry only as many pieces of dough as will float uncrowded, one layer deep in the fat. Fry 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned, turning occasionally during frying time. Drain before removing to absorbent paper. Meanwhile, cook honey and sugar in a skillet over low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add deep-fried pieces. Stir constantly until all pieces are coated with honey-sugar mixture. Remove Strufoli with a slotted spoon and set in refrigerator to chill slightly. Remove to a large serving platter and arrange in a cone shape mound. Sprinkle with the candies. Chill in refrigerator.
