  3. Peel and chop the onion. Peel and chop the garlic. Wash and dry the chives, snip them and measure the stated quantity. Melt 15 g butter and soften onion and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add spinach and stir for 2 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes, then mix with quark, 10 g Parmesan, 1 tbsp chives, 1 pinch salt and all the pepper and nutmeg.

    50 g onion
    1 small garlic clove

    100 g firm plain quark

    • chopping board
    • nonstick frying pan
    • spatula

  4. Use 15 g wheat flour to lightly dust the work surface and rolling pin, without forcing any residue into the dough. Roll to about 2 mm and cut 7 cm circles, gently re-rolling scraps. Divide all the filling to make 32 half-moons. Use 10 ml water to dampen the edges as needed, fold and press firmly to expel air and seal. Keep unused dough covered.
