Culurgiones

Italy · Europe

Short description: These sealed dumplings are known for their wheat-ear pleats and a soft potato-cheese filling.
Ingredients: Pasta dough, potatoes, pecorino cheese, mint, garlic, olive oil, tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Cultural note: They are associated with careful home preparation, where the distinctive closure is part of the craft.
Common misconception: They are not ravioli with a meat filling; potato, cheese, mint, and the pleated seam define the dish.
