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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. STEP 3 OF 8

    Mix everything quickly and set aside.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. STEP 7 OF 8

    You will obtain dumplings that look like small pressed figs.

  8. STEP 8 OF 8

    Cook them for about 6-7 minutes in plenty of salted boiling water and remove them with a slotted spoon.
