Pastiera napoletana: a short-crust tart filled with cooked grain, ricotta, eggs, candied citrus, cinnamon and orange-flower water under a lattice top, traditionally made on Holy Thursday for Easter.
Pastiera's origins are traced to pagan spring fertility rites on the Gulf of Naples, though the recipe as we know it emerged in the convents of the Annunziata and San Gregorio Armeno in 17th-century Naples. The tart is so anchored to Easter that Neapolitans say it is the dish that makes the queen cry (from happiness, not sorrow).
