Culurgionis d’Ogliastra

Widely known as Sardinian ravioli, culurgiònes are a typical dish of Ogliastra. These delicious handmade dumplings are shaped to resemble an ear of wheat, and they are traditionally filled with potatoes, pecorino cheese, lard, onions, garlic, and mint. Another common filling includes ricotta, spinach or chard, and saffron. Culurgiònes are typically served doused in a flavorful tomato sauce and sprinkled with freshly grated pecorino.
