pastiera (napoletana)

/pah-STYEH-rah nah-poh-leh-TAH-nah/
[Italian] plural pastiere (napoletane)

A classic cake or puff pastry tart from Naples or Moorish origin, round, crumbly and filled with sweetened ricotta, candied fruit and spices mixed with egg yolks and softened wheat berries. I have also seen it described as containing sweetcorn kernels. In any case, it is traditionally served at Easter in Campania.
