GLOBI
ORIGINAL 2ND CENTURY BC RECIPE (From De Agricultura by Cato the Elder)
Globi to be made thus: Mix the cheese and spelt in the same way. Make as many as desired. Pour fat into a hot copper vessel, and fry one or two at a time, turning them frequently with two sticks, and remove when done. Coat with honey, sprinkle with poppy-seeds, and serve.

MODERN RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Cup (240g) Ricotta Cheese
- 1 Cup and 1 tablespoon (120g) Spelt, Durum or other whole grain flour
- 1 Quart (1 L) of fat or oil.
- 1/3 Cup (80ml) Honey
- Poppy Seeds

METHOD
1. Mix the cheese and flour in a large bowl, then form it into balls about 1 inch across. This recipe should make 12-15 balls.
2. Heat the oil over a high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Turn heat to medium and fry two to three balls at a time, turning every 10 to 15 seconds with tongs. At 60 seconds, begin to check the color; once they are a golden brown (60-90 seconds) take them out and set them on a wire rack over paper towels to drain. Repeat until all of the globi are fried.
3. Dip the dried globi in honey (heating the honey can help if it is too thick). Then sprinkle with poppy seeds and serve.
