Wild garlicMaulpockets with salad

It's finally wild garlic season again! In spring, the young, tender leaves of this mostly wild-growing bulbous plant give our favourite dishes a characteristic spiciness and a fine garlic aroma. With this recipe for homemade wild garlicMaulpockets, we are ringing in the salad season in keeping with the season. Perhaps you're lucky enough to have a wild garlic plant or two growing in your garden? If not, we recommend shopping at your trusted vegetable stall at the weekly market to make the joy of spring perfect.

• To make the dough, combine the flour, eggs, salt, water, and oil, and knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Our tip: Whisk the eggs first, then add them to the flour, salt, and olive oil. Then start making the dough, adding water only a little at a time and as needed. Sometimes it’s enough to lightly moisten your hands with water before kneading to add a bit more moisture to the dough if it’s too dry.
• Shape the dough into a ball, cover it, and let it rest for about 60 minutes or overnight. If you don’t want to make the “ Maul” pastries on the same day, you can freeze the dough overnight instead; this will make the dough even more pliable.
• Next, purée the spinach, wild garlic, eggs, ricotta, Tomami® tomato, spices, lemon zest, and lemon juice with a hand blender until a smooth mixture forms.
• Gently sauté the onions in a little olive oil until translucent. Then add the brunoise-cut carrots and cook until tender.
• Add the onions and carrots to the spinach-wild garlic mixture, stir in the white bread cubes, and mix all ingredients well. Let the filling rest for about 30 minutes.
• Now roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2 millimeters into a large rectangle. Spread the prepared filling on top and roll the dough tightly into a strudel starting from the long side, pressing down gently as you go. Cut into pieces (using the back of a wide knife) and cook them in simmering vegetable broth until tender.
• Sauté in a little olive oil before arranging the Maulpastries on a bed of salad. For the dressing, we recommend the ready-to-use Giusti Apple Dressing from our selection.
