Carguini of Cicolano

A typical recipe of central Italy and in the specific of “Cicolano”. The recipe is from the book "The old kitchen of St. Demetrio and other old recipes Abruzzo and Cicolano", published by Edizioni il Ruscello, 1998.
Carguini stands for "shorts" or "ravioli" by the shape of the same and filled with different ingredients.


Carguini of Cicolano

  Ingredients for 15 cargiuni:
Dough:
14,11 OZ (400 grams) flour
½ cup of olive oil
just enough milk for a soft but not sticky dough 

Filling:
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup grated “pecorino cheese” (Italian sheep cheese )
2 egg yolks + 1 for brushing
1 cup of raisins


Time: 1 hour
Oven: 302 °F
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Difficulty: medium


Prepare the dough by combining the flour with oil and milk, knead until dough is firm but malleable, form a ball. In a large bowl combine the two grated cheeses, yolks and raisins, mix well, add salt if necessary (I did not because I put the cheeses are already tasty).
Roll out the dough and cut into little thin circles, put in the middle a bit of filling and close with care. You can make an half circle, like half-moon.
Place them on a baking tray covered with wax paper and brush with beaten egg yolk. Bake in oven at 302 ° / 356 °F for 15 minutes or until they are golden. You can eat either warm or cold.
Enjoy your meal!
