Turrón of Alicante
Here is the recipe for "Touron d'Alicante" or "Turron de Alicante". It is a brittle and crunchy Spanish nougat. I had been secretly preparing this recipe for several months! I looked for a real Alicante turrón recipe everywhere, on the internet, in Spanish cookbooks, in professional confectioners' books, but without success. The recipes barely approached the real result! I had to advance blindly and repeatedly arrange the recipe to achieve the result that finally reached my expectations! I failed a number of times, experimented with several techniques, threw away kilos of honey, sugar and almonds, got angry, and above all I swore to myself that I would get there! It is therefore with great pride that I finally present it to you. I would like to point out that this recipe will undoubtedly be for those who like culinary challenges and that it takes a little bit of patience to achieve it.
