MasterChef’s Poh Ling Yeow shares her delicious culurgiones recipe

MasterChef’s Poh Ling Yeow sent fans into a frenzy when she shared her delicious recipe for culurgiones on Sunday.

The chef, 47, revealed how she makes the Italian dish using eight simple ingredients and said she even cooked the meal for celebrity chef Justine Schofield.

She explained on Instagram: ‘Cooking for people you love is everything. Culurgiones for my lovely Justine Schofield.

‘This time with a filling of steamed, mashed half and half sweet potato, pecorino, nutmeg, salt and pepper, sage, lemon and beurre noisette sauce and pure semolina dough’. 

She added: ‘I hand rolled the pasta this time and the slightly thicker result made for a springier mouthfeel which I feel is nicer contrast with the potatoes.’

‘I cut shrank into oval shapes which when crimped across the longer length, created a rounder, stouter shaped dumpling which I also prefer.’

Poh went on to say that Justine also made an ‘incredibly delicious onion tart of puff pastry, lightly caramelised onions with bechamel and stew of squid a l’americaine’.

‘It was so nice to be reminded what a brilliant cook Jussy is and of all the Frenchy stuff she taught me in Season One which stays with me till now.’

She added: ‘It never ceases to amaze me how powerfully food connects us culturally and emotionally.’

Fans immediately started commenting on her post, saying the dish looked ‘perfect’ and ‘incredible’.

‘Looks amazing,’ one person wrote. ‘Looks incredible!! That folding. It’s perfect,’ another said.

‘Absolutely art,’ another commented. ‘This is brilliant,’ one person agreed.

Justine also complimented Poh on creating the meal, writing: ‘So delicious! Faultless. Love you mate.’
