5 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Sauté the minced pork and then mix it with breadcrumbs, raisins, cheese, and a little grated lemon zest to make the filling.
  2. 2 The distinctive feature of Casoncelli filling is that it combines the sweetness of raisins with the saltiness of cheese.
  3. 3 Knead the dough with the eggs, let it rest for 1 hour, then roll it out thinly and cut it into rectangles.
  4. 4 Place the filling in the center, then fold it in half and pinch the ends together to form a candy shape.
  5. 5 Boil for 4 minutes, then drizzle with melted butter, sage leaves, and crispy bacon.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 1 hr 50 min

    Replace step 1: spread the minced pork in a tray, lightly spray with oil, then air fry at 190 degrees for 7 minutes, flipping at the 4th minute before mixing with breadcrumbs and raisins; the shaping and boiling steps remain the same.
