Maultaschen

Maultaschen (Swabian ravioli or literally "mouth bags") are pockets of noodle dough with a basic filling of sausage meat and onions. There are different ways to serve them.

According to the legend, monks once hid meat in the dumplings in order to deceive God during Lent - the "Herrgottsbscheißerle" ("god deceivers" in local dialect) were born.

There are different ways to serve Maultaschen, for example as part of a beef broth soup or fried from a pan.
