A bit of historyaboutthe ALAJÚ Alajú is a traditional sweet made of spanish nougat with rectangular shape. It is popular from “la alcarria” part of our region: Guadalajara (Castilla La Mancha, España) due to the quality of one of its main ingredients: “the honey”. The “ALAJÚ” name comes from the arabic language “al-hasú”, meaning: “stuffed.”

Making of…. Step 1 We start cleanning the nuts from the shells. We need nutcrackers or a hammer and a board. You can see some examples…
Step 2 We put the honey and the sugar in a big bowl. We heat it and let it boil during 5 minutes approximately.
We know the honey and sugar are ready when we mix a drop of the mixture in a dish with some water. If the honey spreads it is not ready yet. It is important the mixture is like caramel so it crystallizes with water.
Step 3 When the mixture (honey and sugar) turns golden, we add in the bowl: The chopped orange peel The chopped nuts
We boil it all together during 5 minutes approximately. It is important stir it up with a consistent fish slice.
Step 4 When the mixture is being well mixed we turn the heat down to keep the warm…
