Wheat Tart

‘In Naples, Easter isn’t Easter without this wonderful tart. It has, apparently, very ancient origins, and it symbolises wealth. Grain and ricotta cheese are the most basic of foods, and if you do not have them, it means you are very poor. Whatever Neapolitans may think of this, the tart is still a remarkable sweet. The important ingredient for it is whole-wheat grain, which is available in good health-food shops. Allow plenty of time for preparation.’
