“Occitan is an ethnic group that dates again to the fifth century and is distinguished by its [dialect] Langue D’oc, an historical tongue (which occurred to be the language of the legendary Knights of the Spherical Desk) from which Provençal and Catalan are derived,” writes creator Roberta Corradin. “Whereas the Occitan neighborhood inhabited massive swaths of western Europe within the Center Ages, it has dwindled to just some geographical pockets in Spain’s Catalonia, southern France (together with the Languedoc area), and several other valleys within the Italian Alps. In Italy, the Occitan inhabitants is tiny—about 200,000—however we’ve got a robust identification, outlined by our language and our foodways, to which we cling fiercely.”
This satisfying six-ingredient dessert is a wonderful instance of the country Occitan cooking in northern Italy. Bake the vanilla-rum custard in a single massive pan or particular person ramekins for a wealthy after-dinner deal with. For optimum temperature and texture, take it out of the fridge about 10 minutes earlier than serving.
