This week, I thought I'd share a German
dish with you. It's a Swabian specialty, I've been told, and the German name
for it is Maultaschen (lit:
"mouth pockets"; trans: German ravioli). Apparently, you can get them
anywhere in Germany from your local supermarket. If you want to be fancy, of
course, go ahead and make them yourself. The traditional ones are gigantic and
are filled with a mixture of minced pork and vegetables. As they've increased
in commercial popularity, there are more varieties and sizes to choose from.
The picture below is of an organic and
vegetarian version. My husband boiled them in a vegetable broth, added sautéed
onions on the side and ended up serving the dish as you see it. According to
him, Maultaschen are also eaten with
potato salad, but come on, people. I can only be so adventurous.
Happy Hump Day!
