Instructions

1

Make a thick dough: mix wheat flour, eggs, 150 ml milk, 150 ml water and half the salt; the dough should be sticky and hold its shape.

2

Cut the bacon, bread and onion into small cubes. Heat clarified butter and sauté the bacon with the bread and onion until lightly golden, then let cool.

3

Finely chop the parsley and green onion. Mix them together with the sautéed mixture into the dough, and season with black pepper.

4

Bring 1.5 L of water to a boil with the remaining salt. Dip the chard leaves into the boiling water for a few seconds to soften them, then cool in cold water and pat dry.

5

Place about a tablespoon of filling on each chard leaf, fold the edges in and roll up into a tight roll.

6

Carefully lower the kapunsi into boiling salted water and simmer gently for 20 minutes, without letting it boil hard.

7

Remove the kapunsi with a slotted spoon and arrange in layers, sprinkling with grated hard cheese and chopped parsley between layers. Drizzle with hot melted butter and serve immediately.
