Large thin-pastry ravioli filled with fresh cheese, deep-fried and drizzled with strawberry-tree honey: sweet-savoury, bitter and warm.

Method
-
Knead semolina, softened lard, warm water and a pinch of salt into a smooth dough. Rest for 30 minutes.

Pour the melted cheese onto a work surface and spread in a 1 cm layer. Leave to cool and set.

Cut 7-8 cm discs from the set cheese.

Roll the dough very thin and cut 10 cm discs. Place a cheese disc on one pastry disc, cover with another pastry disc and seal tightly around the edges.
