Turron is a traditional Christmas dish in Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic, which is made with honey, sugar, egg white and nuts.
Initially, this delicacy was of two types - hard and soft, depending on whether the nuts used in the recipe are crushed. Nowadays, you can find dozens of varieties - with chocolate, puffed rice, candied fruits and many others. The same recipe will help you prepare the classic Gijon turron.
