Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Buckwheat flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 150 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 20 pieces Swiss chard leaves
- 100 grams Dried meat (e.g., cured ham or air-dried beef)
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 200 milliliters Vegetable broth
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, buckwheat flour, eggs, milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix well to form a smooth batter. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the Swiss chard leaves for about 1 minute, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
Cut the dried meat into small pieces. In a frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.
Add the dried meat to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Add the cooked meat mixture into the rested batter. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
Place a Swiss chard leaf on a flat surface and add a spoonful of the batter mixture in the center. Roll the leaf to encase the filling, tucking in the sides to form a neat parcel. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In an oven-safe pan or casserole dish, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Arrange the Capuns in a single layer.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vegetable broth until just simmering. Pour the hot liquid over the Capuns.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
Uncover, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free Capuns!
