Instructions for Cavazune

Today is also St. Joseph?s Day. Celebrated by many as a break from lent, this holiday started as a Thanksgiving celebration for the end of a drought in Italy. To celebrate, the rich set out a meatless feast for the poor. Today, some Italian-American families keep up the custom by inviting relatives and close friends to the St. Joseph?s Day feast. Since the feast falls during Lent, no meat is served. A typical meal begins with "minestrone St. Joseph-style." A "dry" spaghetti, dressed with bread crumbs, raisins and walnuts, is typical. Several fish courses served include favorites such as: baccala; smelts deep fried in egg batter and flour; fried eels; and spaghetti with anchovies. You kind find more information and traditional recipes at this web site http://members.aol.com/nonstopny/italiano/stjoseph.htm Beat eggs, salt sugar, oil, and vanilla together and work in the flour and water alternately keeping the mixture smooth until dough is stiff. Work more flour into the dough on a baking board, then wrap in waxed paper and put aside to chill while you make the filling. Cook chick peas & its liquid 20 minutes. Chop the nuts finely; mix with remaining ingredients. Drain peas, work through a grinder (use processor or blender) until smooth. Then mix with filling. Divide the dough into quarters and roll out one quarter at a time, very,very thin. Cut dough in 3" squares. Place a teaspoonful of filling on squares, brush edges with beaten egg and water. Fold into rectangles, pressing edges with fork to seal. Heat oil to 350 degrees, fry cavezunes 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until golden. Drain. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
