Idrijski žlikrofi

Описание

Исходное описание на английском языке. Русский перевод ещё не добавлен.

Traditionally prepared in western Slovenia, namely the town of Idrija, this popular pasta dish can be described as a variety of ravioli. Žlikrofi are made with two layers of thin pasta dough wrapped around the filling, and apart from their charming shape resembling a bicorne hat, their authentic potato filling is even more distinctive. Ever since the first references to this delicious Slovenian dish, except for the variations in the filling, the recipe hasn't significantly changed over the years. The oldest written source is found in a 1936 book Naš Idrijski Kot , in which the author describes how the popular žlikrofi were prepared only on special occasions when they were typically filled with potatoes, meat, or turnip mash. Although it has been suggested that Idrijski žlikrofi are in fact quite similar to the Austrian Schlickkrapferl (dumplings filled with offal and fresh herbs), their true origin hasn't yet been discovered.
