Swabians

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 4 Maultasche(n), from the refrigerated section, with or without meat
• 4 pretzel rolls
• 100 g lamb’s lettuce
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 onion(s)
• 3 tbsp sour cream
• 3 tbsp tartar sauce or mayonnaise
• 2 tsp ketchup
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• some pepper, black
• some dill
• Fat for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Slice or ring the tomatoes and onion. Wash the lettuce. Cut the pretzel rolls and toast them briefly. Fry the onions in a little fat in a pan until golden brown, then heat the Maultaschen in the pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, prepare the burger sauce from sour cream, remoulade, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, and sugar. Mix well and season with pepper and dill. The amount of vinegar can be adjusted to taste. Assemble the burger as desired. For easier eating, we recommend securing the burger with a long toothpick, shish kebab skewer, or burger skewer. Notes: If you’re making a lot of burgers, for example, for a family gathering or a party, the Maultaschen can also be heated in broth. I used this recipe at a Christmas market for about 120 servings, and the people loved it. For adventurous Swabians, I’ve listed another burger recipe: the “Wild Variation” with Camembert, bacon, and cranberries.
