Spaetzle With Butter And Parsley Food

SPAETZLE WITH BUTTER AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and olive oil to combine. Whisk milk mixture into flour mixture until smooth.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt well. Fill a potato ricer fitted with a 1/4-inch-hole attachment with batter, and push batter through the holes into the boiling water, or use a colander, pushing batter through holes with a rubber spatula. Cook spaetzle briefly until it floats to the top of water. Drain in a colander. Toss with butter and parsley.

SPAETZLE

Steps:

• Fill 4-quart Dutch oven half full with water; heat to boiling. In medium bowl, mix eggs, milk, flour, salt and pepper with fork (batter will be thick).
• Press a few tablespoons of the batter at a time through colander with 1/4-inch holes, or spaetzle maker, into boiling water. Stir once or twice to prevent sticking. Cook about 2 to 5 minutes or until spaetzle rise to surface and are tender; drain. Toss with butter.

HERBED SPAETZLE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine 3/4 cup water, the eggs, salt and flour. Whisk well, until the dough is soft and sticky.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When the butter begins to foam, add the garlic, chives, parsley and marjoram. Cook until the butter begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add the white wine and allow to reduce for a minute. Keep warm.
• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Transfer the spaetzle batter to a colander with small holes. Set the colander above the boiling water and, using a spatula or bench scraper, press the batter through the holes and directly into the water. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the spaetzle float to the surface. Drain and immediately add the spaetzle to the pan with the butter sauce. Over high heat, toss the spaetzle and the sauce together for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the spaetzle sizzles. Sprinkle with some grated Parmesan and serve.

SPAETZLE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Add eggs and milk; stir to mix well (batter will be thick). In a Dutch oven or large kettle, bring chicken broth to a boil. Drop batter by 1/2 teaspoonfuls into boiling liquid. Boil until spaetzle rise to the surface; remove to ice water. Drain well. In a skillet, heat spaetzle in butter until lightly browned. Serve with schnitzel and gravy or with Parmesan cheese.

SPATZLE WITH PARSLEY

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a mixing bowl. Add the water, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Blend well with a wire whisk. Add the flour with a rubber spatula. Mix well.
• Put a large quantity of water in a saucepan, bring to a boil and add salt. Pour the spatzle mixture into a colander over the boiling water. Press the mixture through the holes of the colander with a rubber spatula or a large spoon. Cook briefly or until the noodles rise to the surface. Drain well. The spatzle could be made in advance.
• To finish the spatzle, melt the butter in a skillet. Add the garlic and cook briefly. Do not brown. Add the spatzle, parsley, salt and pepper. Toss well until the spatzle is heated through. Serve immediately with chicken.
