Description
Easter wheat pie is a traditional holiday treat made with cooked wheat, eggs and ricotta cheese. Featuring a lattice top, it's redolent of orange thanks to the addition of orange flower water. The modern pastiera was likely invented in a Neapolitan convent, where an unknown nun wanted that cake — a symbol of the Resurrection — to be reminiscent of flowers of the orange trees growing in the convent’s gardens.
