Maultaschen [0000799]

Ingredients:

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound ground beef or pork
1/2 cup spinach, chopped (frozen and thawed, or fresh)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, eggs, water, and salt. Knead the mixture into a smooth dough. If it's too dry, add a little more water; if it's too sticky, add a touch more flour. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a skillet, cook the ground beef or pork over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion and cook until it's translucent.

Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for a few more minutes until it's wilted. Remove the skillet from heat.

Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the filling mixture and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and let it cool.

Roll out the rested dough on a gluten-free floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Cut the dough into 3x3-inch squares.

Place a spoonful of the cooled filling onto each dough square.

Fold the dough over the filling to create triangular-shaped pockets. Seal the edges by pressing them with your fingers.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Carefully add the gluten-free Maultaschen to the boiling water. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

Remove the Maultaschen with a slotted spoon and serve hot.
