Autumn has arrived, the landscapes begin to color, and the temperatures drop. We just have to spend some time in the heat, maybe sitting around a spread table and enjoying some seasonal dishes!
This month we went to the Enoteca Coldai in Val di Zoldo, where they prepared a spectacular first course, accompanied by our Spumante Valdobbiadene DOCG Sui Lieviti Brut Nature.
These are the “Tirtlan stuffed with rosemary pumpkin with red onion and speck,” a hearty dish full of taste that will also bring out the hints of our wine. Below are the ingredients and steps so that you can experience the recipe at home:
For the dough:
1kg wheat flour
100ml of oil
4 eggs
250ml warm milk
salt
For the filling:
1 tablespoon of oil
1kg clean pumpkin
400g cooked and pureed potatoes
2 sprigs of chopped rosemary
Salt and pepper
For finishing:
1 tablespoon of oil
500g red onion
100g sugar
100ml white vinegar
Salt and pepper
Sliced speck
Procedure:
Preparation of the dough: Knead all the ingredients to obtain a smooth and soft dough. Let stand for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
Preparation of the filling: Cut the pumpkin into small cubes and cook together with the rosemary for about 30 minutes or until it is pulped. Cool and add the previously passed boiled potatoes with the potato masher.
Preparation of red onion: Heat the olive oil with sugar and vinegar, add the red onion cut into fine slices, and cook for about 20 minutes over low heat.
Pull the fine dough with a rolling pin, distribute the filling on the half side, and cover. With a round coppapasta, form the tirtlans and press the edges well with your fingers. Finally fry in hot oil.
Plating:
Serve the tirtlan still hot, adding over the red onion and a few slices of speck passed just in the oven.
We thank Mrs. Gianna for the welcome and for revealing the secrets of this tasty autumn dish. Let us know if you will try to propose it again or if you decide to go directly to the Enoteca to refresh yourself after a nice trip to the mountains!
