Vegan Swabian pockets with veggie filling
When I was a kid, I ate swabian pockets like crazy. In broth, fried or raw. You could wrap my whole family in swabian pockets, we would feel so comfortable! Unfortunately there are a lot of eggs in the dough and the filling is to 90% made of meat. Puuuh! So it's time to fill these pockets up with some veggies and make this recipe vegan.
