Gli stianconi con L'aieda o l'agliaccio

Gli stianconi sono pezzi di sfoglia un po' spessa, spezzata a mano, per dare ad ogni pezzo una forma irregolare. Il loro nome deriva infatti dal dialetto "Stianchér" - strappare. Tipici dell’Appennino gli stianconi erano una minestra da poveri perché si preparavano con due ingredienti – farina e uova – comuni anche nelle tavole degli umili montanari. Prendono il nome dal modo in cui venivano preparati. Le zdaure preparavano la pasta all’uovo e la tiravano a mattarello. Quando la sfoglia era omogenea ma non troppo sottile la arrotolavano attorno al mattarello e si avvicinavano al paiolo sul fuoco scoppiettante dentro il camino. Tenendo il mattarello sospeso sul paiolo, rompevano la sfoglia e ricavavano tanti pezzi irregolari simili a stracci (strazon) che andavano a finire direttamente nell’acqua salata bollente.
