About the dish

Mbriulata is a traditional Sicilian savory pastry originating from the Caltanissetta and Agrigento area. The pastry consists of dough that's stuffed with ingredients such as potatoes, cheese, olives, and ground pork, which is used as a replacement for the traditional pork rinds. The cheese used for mbriulata is typically grated pecorino. The dough is made from flour, olive oil, yeast, milk, and a pinch of salt, but some people opt to use puff pastry instead. The strips of dough are rolled around the filling, creating a nice spiral after the mbriulata has been baked.
