Fleischschnacka

Fleischschnackas[1] (French pronunciation: [flaiʃ.ʃnaka]; Alsatian word, literally meat snail) are an Alsatian dish made from cooked meat stuffing (usually the remainders of pot-au-feu), eggs, onions, parsley, salt, pepper rolled in a fresh egg pasta.

The meat stuffing is spread on the fresh egg pasta and rolled.

The tube obtained is then cut into slices of 1.5–2 cm, the Fleischschnackas.

Traditionally, Fleischschnackas are served with a small quantity of broth and a green salad.

A similar dish of meat-stuffed pasta, Maultaschen, is popular in Germany, particularly in the region of Baden-Württemberg which shares a border with Alsace.
