Dumplings (in Slovene language “štrukelj” is taken form Austrian German word “Struckel”) is one of the most typical Slovene festive dishes. The dish is known for its snail-shaped rolls. Many dumpling varieties are prepared in all Slovenia gastronomic regions. They differ in fillings, sweet and savoury. Most popular dumpling varieties are made with cottage cheese filling, mostly wrapped in hand-pulled dough. They can be either boiled wrapped in a cloth or baked. They are also delicious in a soup. They are excellent as a standalone dish or side dish. Most famous Slovene dumplings are filled with tarragon filling.
