- Contains: celery, dairy, egg, gluten, pork, poultry
Ingredients
- 60 g Flour, all-purpose

Method

- Wilt the spinach briefly in a dry pan and chop finely; sauté the onion in a dry pan until soft.
- Mix the ground pork with the spinach, onion, soaked bread, the remaining egg, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper to make a smooth filling.
- Roll the pasta dough out thinly and cut into large squares; spoon the filling onto half the squares, top with the remaining squares, and press the edges firmly to seal.
- Bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer, lower in the Maultaschen, and poach for 12-15 minutes until the dough is cooked through and the filling reaches 74 °C (165 °F).
