Swabian pockets - Maultaschen
For 4 persons you need:
- Basic noodle dough
- 7oz. (200g) spinach - fresh or frozen
- 18oz. (500g) Kalbsbrät
- 3.5oz. (100g) mixed minced meat
- 1 fine chopped onion
- 2 Tablespoons semolina or 1 old roll, cut the roll in small pieces
- 1/2 Tablespoon of salt
- some pepper
For the filling, mash the spinach (force it through the mincer).
Stew the onions in hot oil, then let them cool down and mix them to a dough
with the other ingredients.
Preparation:
Roll out the noodle dough thin and cut it into stripes of a width of 5cm.
Smear them with the white of an egg and put a bit more than 1 tablespoon of the filling
on it. Then put the second stripe on it and divide them into pockets. Press the edges together with a fork.
Cook them lightly in a pot that is as big as possible filled with salt water for about 10 min. at reduced heat.
Take them out with a ladle.
Tip:
You can eat the pockets as they are, but also can use them for swabian pocket soup.
