CJARSONS
The symbolic dish of Carnic cuisine is celebrated in Sutrio every year on the first Sunday of June: the Cjarson, a kind of stuffed raviolo. It is dressed with melted butter and smoked ricotta in its savory version, or with cinnamon or cocoa in its sweet variation.
But what exactly goes inside this dish? There is practically a recipe for every household: in fact, tradition has it that cjarsons were prepared with whatever was available in the pantry. Potatoes were always present, together with fragrant herbs such as mint, lemon balm, parsley… plus a handful of raisins and a sprinkling of spices.
The history of cjarsons is ancient and intertwined with that of these lands: the spices came from the journeys of the cramars, the traveling merchants who, with their “crame” packs, would cross into Austria and Germany to trade in spices, fabrics, and natural remedies.
At the Festa dei Cjarsons, every village presents its own variation of the recipe, offering visitors the chance to taste the many traditions that each community has preserved and passed down.
