Mantuan donut and resumada recipe – Italian cuisine reinvented by Gordon Ramsay

Our journey to discover the regional flavors of Lombardy focuses today on the recipe for Mantuan donut and resumadaa preparation of peasant origin.

The Mantua donut, also called Bussolano, it can be prepared with or without the hole and is not as soft as you might expect from a donut. Precisely this characteristic means that it is usually enjoyed by dipping it in wine or in the resumada, a sweet and frothy cream based on eggs, sugar and wine.

The recipe we propose is Ilaria Castelli, from Lombardy, 47 years old, who founded Chef and the City in Milan, a cooking school that welcomes students from all over the world. She also does catering and home chef services. Her cuisine is an anti-waste cuisine that seeks “primary, natural and original” flavours. You studied cooking at the Polytechnic of Commerce in Milan but also in Morocco and Oman, in Barcelona and St. Petersburg.

Chocolate filled donut without scales – Italian cuisine reinvented by Gordon Ramsay

Unfamiliar with the kitchen? Try preparing a simple and quick dessert like this 5 jar donut filled with chocolate! It’s the cake that anyone can prepare: no scales and no precise dose to respect, other than that of a small, now empty yogurt pot!

Each ingredient of this homemade cake is dosed into a yogurt jar, the classic 125 gram one. It imitates a bit the method that our grandmothers used in the kitchen, who instead provided themselves with a simple cup.

You can use any leftover chocolate bars or Easter eggs, combining the dark chocolate with the milk oneand maybe even to white. And if you’re greedy, throw in a handful of hazelnuts or chopped hazelnuts.

Among other things, the 5 jar cake is not the only one that is prepared in this way: there is also the yogurt cake from 8 jars, simple and fragrant. And if it is actually yogurt that you want to use to make your cake, then try it yogurt cheesecake!
