A Mediterranean Delight: Authentic Barbajuan Recipe from Monaco
Did you know that the tiny principality of Monaco, the second smallest country in the world, has given us a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer called Barbajuan? This national food of Monaco is typically filled with ricotta cheese and Swiss chard, but some areas add heartier ingredients like squash or pumpkin during the winter months. Regardless of the filling, Barbajuans is a crowd-pleasing party food that will have your guests coming back for more.
My recipe delivers the best-tasting and traditional take on Barbajuans. However, food is meant for exploration, right? Maybe you want to try to make Barbajuans with a different cheese or add something to the filling. It’s okay to get creative! It has been said that the Prince Albert of Monaco likes his Barbajuans with bacon and anchovy inside.
