Directions/Steps

Scallions Filling:

  • In a pan add some EV olive oil with the scallions cut in 3-4 pieces.
  • Saute` the onions for 2-3 minutes and add the 1/2 cup of peeled tomatoes, the olives, a pinch of hot pepper and the wine. Salt as desired.
  • Let everything cook until the scallions are very soft and the alcohol of the wine has completely evaporated.
  • Remove from the stove and let cool. 

Frittelle Preparation:

  • Take a piece of dough the size of a tennis ball and flatten it with a rolling pin into a flat and round shape.  The thickness of the dough should be no more than 1/4 of an inch.
  • Place at the center of the dough your favorite filling. Either some of the scallions from above or some pieces of mozzarella, tomatoes, a few capers and grated Parmigiano cheese. In reality, they can be filled with any filling desired.
  • Fold the dough over the filling and close it in the shape of 1/2 moon.
  •  Press down the outer edges of the dough to completely seal the Frittella. With a ravioli cutter, cut the excess dough from all around the Frittella.
  • Fry in olive oil till they are golden brown and serve preferably very hot.

Buon Appetito!
