For the filling: minced veal gr. 200, toasted almonds gr. 200, shelled walnuts gr. 150, a pinch of cinnamon, plain chocolate gr. 100, cloves 3, sugar 2 tablespoons, a sachet of icing sugar.

Preparation:

Mix flour and lard, sugar, egg and marsala wine. Let the pastry stand for a few hours and roll it out quite thinly.

In a bowl, dress meat (very good and very finely minced veal) with chopped walnuts and almonds, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and chopped chocolate.
