Barbagiuàn
Also known as: Barbagiuan
Fried pastry parcels filled with chard, spinach, Parmesan and aromatics.
About Barbagiuàn
Monaco Tribune publishes Sharon’s grandmother’s traditional barbagiuàns as part of Monaco’s culinary heritage. This family version encloses chard, spinach sprouts, spring onion, garlic and Parmesan in thin pastry.
The greens and aromatics give the filling its savoury vegetable character, with grated Parmesan adding dairy richness and saltiness. Egg binds the filling, while olive oil enriches the pastry.
The folded parcels have golden-brown fried surfaces around the drained greens and cheese. Sharon favours very thin pastry that blends into the filling, and the finished barbagiuàns are served warm.
