The fried gnocco or gnocco fritto, is typical of Emilia Romagna and especially the area of Reggio Emilia and Modena and these little pieces of fried bread are served with Italian salumi such mortadella, prosciutto, salame felino and culatello.
It is a typical appetizer served with a glass of Lambrusco. The more the quality of the salumi and the wine, the more the snack is delicious.
It seems that the Longobards used made it too. Certainly the gnocco fritto, as well as the classic erbazzone dish, are central to Emilia Romagna food heritage.
Even if it is considered street food and a fast snack, the gnocco fritto is still very much a gourmet appetizer.
The ingredients are very simple: flour, salt, water, baking powder and lard.
