Recipe Instructions:
Ingredients:
• 1 pack of Maultaschen (Swabian pasta pockets) or homemade dough
• 1/2 lb ground meat (pork, beef, or a mixture)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup spinach, chopped
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• Salt, pepper, and nutmeg, to taste
• Vegetable broth, for cooking
Instructions:
o In a skillet, heat some oil and sauté onions until translucent. Add ground meat and cook until browned.
o Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat and let cool.
o If using store-bought Maultaschen, follow package instructions for assembly. If making homemade dough, roll out thinly and cut into squares.
o Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Fold dough over to form triangles or rectangles, sealing edges tightly.
o Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot.
o Carefully add Maultaschen to the boiling broth. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until Maultaschen float to the surface and are cooked through.
o Remove cooked Maultaschen with a slotted spoon and serve hot, optionally with a side of potato salad or mustard.
