Bova Shaklet(German)
Bova Shaklet offers a hearty, savory combination of leftover roast beef and mashed potatoes encased in dough, perfect for a comforting, quick meal for family or friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the mashed potatoes and leftover roast beef onto the round of dough.
- Fold the dough over the filling halfway and pinch the edges to seal.
- Drop the filled dough into boiling water and cook for 15 minutes.
- Serve hot with meat gravy or a cream sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the dough is not too thick to allow even cooking. You can substitute leftover roast beef with shredded chicken or turkey if desired. If you don’t have mashed potatoes, consider using ricotta or cottage cheese for a creamier filling. For added flavor, mix in some sautéed onions or herbs. A side of Soupe A L'Oignon complements this dish well.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Bova Shaklet hot with a rich meat gravy or a creamy sauce for dipping. A light salad or steamed vegetables can provide a refreshing contrast to the hearty filling. This dish also pairs beautifully with Zippy Beef Spread as an appetizer or side. For a complete meal, consider serving with crusty bread.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Bova Shaklet can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a pot of simmering water for about 5-7 minutes to warm through without drying out. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, but be cautious not to overcook, as it may change the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze Bova Shaklet?
Yes, you can freeze Bova Shaklet before or after cooking. If freezing before cooking, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container. To cook from frozen, simply drop them directly into boiling water for about 20 minutes. If freezing after cooking, let them cool completely before freezing.
What can I use if I don't have dough?
If you don't have dough, you can use store-bought puff pastry or even tortillas as a substitute. Roll the pastry or tortilla thin, fill, and follow the same cooking instructions. This option can also add a delightful flakiness to the dish.
How do I make the filling more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor of the filling, consider adding sautéed onions, garlic, or herbs like thyme and parsley. A splash of Worcestershire sauce or mustard can also elevate the taste. Mixing in some cheese, like cheddar or mozzarella, adds creaminess and a rich flavor.
