Chef shows the preparation of culurgiones during the cooking class

Description

Cagliari, south Sardinia, the wonderful capital of this island. Here you can discover the ancient recipe of the delicious culurgiones pasta.
Host by the talented Damiano and his sister you will learn a recipe that has been handed down for generations and learned by Damiano from his grandma since childhood. You will be given a so-called "scivedda" (container) and shown how to prepare the pasta.
After that you will prepare the filling before tasting all the ingredients. The dough (previously put to rest) will then be processed and the typical closing of the culurgiones "a spighedda" (in the shape of an ear) will begin.
After the closing of all the culurgiones everyone will sit at the table to enjoy the appetizers with a glass of wine, while the water will be boiled for the big meal.

RECIPE

The culurgiones recipe comes from Damiano's grandmother who occasionally prepares culurgiones at home with the whole family on Sunday or during holidays. The original culurgiones recipe belongs to the Ogliastra province (south-east of Sardinia) where each country has its typical recipe. During this lab you will learn the culurgiones recipe from the town of Jerzu.

"Ho ancora molto da lavorare sulla chiusura dei Culurgiones ma di sicuro ho scoperto un team di persone gentili e disponibili che hanno reso unica la mia esperienza. Un grazie particolare a Damiano per averci fatto sentire a casa."

I would rate the experience the best possible, it was a really great evening. Damianio really did a great job explaining the culture of Sardinia and besides the pasta he offered really good wine and a great variety of cheese. All in all a really great experience.

It was perfect. Really nice experience. We absolutely recommend it ! More than a course, it's sharing the love of Sardinia. Really worth it.

To start with, Excursi were great - they contacted the owner to ensure it would be ok for me to arrive a little late (due to my train arrival.) I booked a week in advance and was able to keep in contact via WhatsApp on my ETA.The cooking class itself was awesome. Damiano and Julia are welcoming and speak fantastic English, interspersed with Italian for the true experience. The class was fun, interesting and turned into a great home cooked meal with friends! I highly recommend both companies!
Samuel B.

Sehr zu empfehlender Kochkurs für Groß und Klein. Perfekt um mit anderen ins Gespräch zu kommen. Damiano geht auf individuelle Wünsche der Lehrlinge ein und gibt großartige Empfehlungen auch für Restaurants in Cagliari und Umgebung.

Es war fantastisch. Super erklärt, genug Zeit und sehr lecker. Die beiden Geschwister sind herzlich und geduldig, es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und die Antipasti und der Wein waren ebenfalls sehr köstlich. Sind begeistert, mille grazie!

Damiano and his sister were great hosts! We had a wonderful time learning how to make Sardinian culurgiones, as well as learning about the art of making pasta dough. They were also very accommodating to my partner who is gluten free. A real, authentic Sardinian food experience, and I would definitely recommend.

Abbiamo trascorso una mattinata bellissima insieme a Damiano che ci ha insegnato i segreti dei culurgiones, ci siamo trovati molto bene. Aperitivo e pranzo top. Straconsigliato anche ai locals!
