Equinox strangolapreti chilling in the fridge. Took a bunch of little 5-10 minute steps to get there throughout the day and will probably get a hand from my partner with shaping them, but I'm so happy I made them.
One of the goals I've set for myself since getting a little better is to try to cook things I've wanted to cook for years or things I dreamed about trying to cook when I was in really rough shape last year.
These go by a bunch of regional Italian names, and variations, all of which translate to 'priest stranglers' which was a nod to the gluttony of the church, which I think is as good a reason as any to want to cook them.
The version I made is basically a big spinach bread dumpling, and I will either cook it in brown butter and sage or Parmesan cream, haven't quite decided just yet. I've got another recipe that is more of a giant potato dumpling which I will have to try too. I added a sauteed shallot to my mix, for a little more kick.
I'm a day late for the equinox, but it felt more celebratory on a Friday night.
Here's the recipe if you are interested:
