Ingredients

• 400 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 150 ml Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 200 grams Spinach, fresh
• 150 grams Mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 200 grams Firm tofu, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 liter Vegetable broth

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.

Step 3

Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown. Stir in the spinach and grated carrot, cooking until the spinach wilts.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, grated nutmeg, black pepper, and soy sauce. Mix well to form the filling.

Step 5

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 2mm thickness. Cut into large rectangular pieces, approximately 12x15cm.

Step 6

Place about 2 tablespoons of filling on one half of each dough piece, leaving edges bare. Fold over the other half, sealing the edges well with water to enclose the filling.

Step 7

Bring the vegetable broth to a gentle boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to a simmer. Carefully add the Maultaschen and cook for about 10 minutes until the dough is tender.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, remove the Maultaschen from the pot. Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
