I CUCULLI ( cucina ligure)

With this recipe I participate in the Cookbook of Alf, designed by Manuel, a dear friend who has a blog in the kitchen with Manu, where you can find all information about. The collection of recipes starts with drinks and finger food, and so came to my mind cuculli. There are several versions, with chickpea flour, potatoes, flour and simple as that, however, these are my favorites. You can add al''impasto, sage, chives, rosemary, basil, zucchini flowers etc. I used what I had at home, a bit of sage and lettuce. They are very tasty and one leads to another. For a drink together are ideal.



Recipe Serves approx. 30 cuculli

• 250 gr. 00 flour
• 5 sage leaves few leaves of lettuce (which is the sage lettuce, are cut thin on the board)
• teaspoon salt ½ package dry yeast
• mastrofornaio
• 1 egg yolk
• warm water about 150 ml

Mix all the dough should be soft (not watery) and then with the water regulator. Let rise for one hour. Fried balls of dough into hot oil, using a teaspoon (I dip the oil because the dough is slightly sticky). Serve hot.
