Barbajuan
Fried pastry parcels filled with chard, spinach and Parmesan.
About Barbajuan
Monaco Tribune publishes this barbagiuàn recipe as a contribution from Sharon, following her grandmother’s method. The small fried parcels enclose a chard-and-spinach filling with spring onion, garlic, Parmesan and egg.
Olive oil enriches the pastry, while the greens are blanched and drained before filling. Thin pastry surrounds the vegetables and cheese, with the source allowing a thicker wrapper according to preference.
The sealed parcels fry to a golden surface and are served warm. This is the attributed family rendition within Monaco’s culinary heritage; the accompanying origin legend is kept separate from the recipe’s documented family provenance.
