Make the dough by mixing flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt until smooth.

Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until elastic.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 60 minutes.

Sauté shallots in olive oil until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add boiled lentils, zucchini, salt, and black pepper to the shallots.

Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the dough into squares or circles, about 4 inches wide.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each piece of dough.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges tightly.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Gently add the Maultaschen to the boiling water and cook for 8 minutes until they float.
