Adele makes fried ravioli called Gattafin from Liguria! | Pasta Grannies

Adele's Gattafin from Levanto are delicious! These are giant ravioli, filled with herbs, cheese and onion, and then fried to make an 'anytime, anywhere' snack. They don't last very long as people love them.
For the dough:
300g 00 flour, 50ml each of water, olive oil and wine, pinch of salt.
For the filling:
A kilo of greens, these could be spinach, chard, rocket, but try to find some wild herbs like dandelion and wild fennel to make a more complex flavour
1 teaspoon each of chopped marjoram, parsley
two onions, 50g Parmesan, 25g Pecorino Sardo, breadcrumbs if necessary.

[@susurrus23]

I could watch Adele do an entire show by herself, she's got such a keen sense of technique and a love for the history of not just the finished product but the ingredients in her food!

‘Stop and smell the roses’; she sniffs the marjoram before adding, such pleasure. I had cousins in Liguria and had these boiled. Nothing else in the world tastes like them.

[@MrMatharth]

In Brazil, we have a similar recipe called "pastel". The dough is similar to the gattafin, but we use "cachaça" (a distilled liquor made from fermented sugarcane juice) instead of wine. The filling is different too: here, we use cheese, ham, minced meat, tomatoes, pepperoni and even sweet ones (like chocolate, and cheese with guava paste). The pastel is very popular in Brazil to point that you can find pubs on the street specialized in making it.

It looks like one of the most famous dish in Russia "Чебурек" (eng. Cheburek). Every Russian knows it)) Also this dish is the main on the Crimean peninsula. Usually this is cooked with meet, but often with cheese and vegetables. My Crimean grandma even cooks cheburek with apricots and plums)) and to be honest it looks so simple but people from other regions rarely make this dish correctly)) it's passed down through time from Crimean ancestors)) I hope that one day you'll taste Cheburek because this is highly delicious👌😊

We made those with white cheese/onion stuffing. Most delicious when fried. My late mother used to have a hard time trying to keep us kids out of the kitchen while frying them. They disappeared in seconds! The ones stuffed with wild foraged herbs and greens (purslane was the best, for some people it's a pesky weed!) baked in the oven also quite good and healthy. Well, I will not have time to talk when eating those... so no worries talking with your mouth full ! Nice to hear her telling some stories from her past. :)

We have a different type of fried ravioli here in St. Louis, Missouri. It is world-famous. You take small ravioli and bread them in bread crumbs and egg mixtures (double coating) and fry in oil or air frayer. They are served with marinara sauce on the side and they are a St. Louis appetizer staple.

What do they use as a filling?

The only thing, hers was a dough that looked soft like ravioli dough, there were herbs/plants inside of it. I 👀 saw this lady 40 years later but unfortunately she couldn't remember that food 😥 ... I have watched all your other 📽 videos from even more elderlies grannies 😇 hoping it would show up and it did today❗😍 Thank you so much❗ Bravo Adele❗and all the crew members❗😙

[@businessasusual9077]

Hello Monique I’m Italian and from your description of your childhood dish I would think that maybe could have been panzerotti, that are made with a dough with yeast ( so different from gattafin ) filled with whatever you like and fried. They are originally from Puglia but nowadays are spread out almost all over Italy. Just to help you recollect which version you used to eat all those years ago. Stay safe

I saw a recipe on another site that, from memory, used vodka in a flaky pastry recipe and that the alcohol evaporates and the gas from it makes the pastry lighter. Even though wine has less alcohol, l imagine the principal is the same for this.

Ms. Vicky, outstanding recipe by this dear soul Mrs. Adele & looks delicious. We do have a similar recipe in Appalachia, but not all of the greens. Here the sowthistle is called polk salat & grows along roads, fence lines & meadows. Dandelion greens are everywhere & no shortage.we rinse/strain our greens 4-5 times to remove grit, then line a salad spinner with a tea towel & spin for 2 minutes to remove all water & any grit. We fry our stuffed ravioli's in peanut oil, or lard, or bacon grease. Our eggs are from free range chickens( did you know the color of the egg shell is always the color of the hen's ear lobes ?, tan, cream, blue, speckled, etc... info from me an old farm Irishman, lol) God bless you all

[@AirrowRocket]

Popular folklore on ear lobes.

[@stevelogan5475]

@@AirrowRocket it is true, there are no pure white egg shells like sold at a grocer, they are bleached. The color of the hen's ear lobes will be the same color as the egg shells, whether colors of tan, cream, brown, light blue, speckled, etc... & they will all have rich golden yolks & not the light yellow tasteless yolks, I'm 58 yr old Irishman from rural Kentucky & it is true, if you want, you can check on google facts, etc... , my whole family is from rural Kentucky, a few more tips for you, hogs/pigs will not eat cucumbers, just about anything but those, even cannibals as they will eat bacon, ham, pork loin. Also, you can't breed 2 mules, they are all sterile, you have to mate a horse & donkey, usually a male horse & female donkey, but if you can pull a female horse down by the reins, a male donkey can mate with it, but it's usually a male horse & female donkey, you can check out all this info my friend, but I know.
