Culurgionis
Culurgionis are a typical first course from Sardinia, particularly common in the Ogliastra area. They are ravioli filled with potatoes, cheese, and herbs, with a delicate and enveloping flavor. The preparation requires some manual skill, but the final result is definitely worth the effort.

Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 8
Wash and boil the kilo of potatoes, and as soon as they are cooked, remove them from the water one by one, peel them, and immediately mash them with a fork, collecting the puree in a bowl.
- STEP 2 OF 8
Once all the potatoes are done, season the puree with: 1/2 glass of warm oil, finely chopped garlic cloves, chopped fresh mint leaves, a pinch of salt, and 200 g of viscida or a good handful of grated slightly aged pecorino cheese.
- STEP 3 OF 8
Mix everything quickly and set aside.
- STEP 4 OF 8
Meanwhile, prepare the dough for the wrapper by mixing 600 g of flour with 3-4 tablespoons of oil and a pinch of salt dissolved in 1/2 glass of water.
- STEP 5 OF 8
Work the dough energetically but not for too long, and as soon as it reaches a certain elasticity, roll it out into thin sheets from which discs of 6 cm in diameter will be cut.
- STEP 6 OF 8
On half of each disc, place an amount of puree the size of a small walnut, cover with the other half of the disc, seal the two overlapping semicircles with a thin cord made with the fingertips, and finish with a short stem.
- STEP 7 OF 8
You will obtain dumplings that look like small pressed figs.
- STEP 8 OF 8
Cook them for about 6-7 minutes in plenty of salted boiling water and remove them with a slotted spoon.
