This is a fried Italian cookie..calzone di san giuseppe...you are supposed to find every person you know named Joseph or Josephine and pull their ear for good luck! Crust: 3 eggs, 1 TBS sugar 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 c white wine, 1 tsp cinnamon, 2 & 1/2 cups flour...combine first five ingredients and add flour...knead until elastic...refrigerate while you make filling. Filling: 10 oz. canned chick peas (yes, that's right!), 3 oz. semi sweet chips, 1/2c chopped walnuts, 1/4 c honey, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, vegetable oil for frying, 10x sugar Drain chick peas, boil in ample water until tender about 10 minutes or so. Drain and mash. Mix all other filling ingredients & blend well. Roll out dough to 1/4 thickness, cut with round cutter into circles...add a bit of filling to center and fold cirle in half..seal seams with fork. Fill saucepan with oil and heat.....deep fry calzones for 1-2 minutes til browned...drain on paper towels and dust with 10x sugar. Buon appetito!
