Ligurian castagnaccio
Ligurian castagnaccio is a typical autumn dish, naturally gluten-free, which is soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and in which the chestnut flour is enriched with dried fruit and nuts to make an absolutely delicious treat.

Making Ligurian castagnaccio

To make Ligurian castagnaccio transfer the chestnut flour to a bowl and slowly add the water, stirring with a whisk.
