SPAETZLE WITH KIELBASA AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Spaetzle With Kielbasa and Caramelized Onions image

Spaetzle is basically a blank, buttery canvas that will absorb whatever flavorings you care to mix into it. I've served the dumplings plain with melted butter and chopped chives. I've crisped them in a pan of brown butter and almonds. I've topped them with hearty beef stew. But layered with cheese and caramelized onions is still my favorite variation.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound smoked kielbasa, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 large thyme sprig
kosher salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 pound Emmentaler cheese, grated (2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, lightly brown the kielbasa until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Melt the butter in the skillet. Stir in the onion and thyme, and stir briefly to coat the onion with butter. Cook onion, without stirring, until dark brown, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and cook on low heat until very soft and caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons water and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Transfer onion to a bowl.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir well. The batter should be fairly wet, with a consistency slightly thicker than pancake batter.
  • Spread a clean dish towel flat on a work surface adjacent to the stove. Working over the pot of boiling water, press dough through a spaetzle maker or use a rubber spatula to push it through a colander with holes at least 1/4-inch wide. Drop dough into the water. When dumplings rise to the surface, use a slotted spoon to transfer to the towel.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Toss the spaetzle and kielbasa in the bowl with the onions, and add 1 1/2 cups cheese and the pepper. Spread into a 2-quart gratin dish. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until golden and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.

Provided by Experimenter

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Dumpling Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
⅓ cup water
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 slices bacon, diced
½ large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 small Gala apple, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 (16 ounce) package sauerkraut
1 (16 ounce) package kielbasa sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a metal colander.
  • Whisk together the flour and salt in a bowl. Mix the eggs and water, and pour into the flour mixture. Stir to form a dough.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the spaetzle dough into the oiled colander, and set the colander over the pot of water. Use a flexible spatula to push the dough into the boiling water through the holes in the colander. Stir the spaetzle as they boil. When they have floated to the top, they are done (about 5 minutes). Scoop the spaetzle out of the boiling water, and place into an ungreased 9x9-inch baking dish.
  • Place the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until the bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon, leaving drippings in pan, and set aside. Cook the onion in the same pan as the bacon until browned, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until foamy, and stir in the apple and brown sugar. Cook and stir until the apple is soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon, onions, and sauerkraut into the skillet, and cook, stirring often, until the flavors have blended, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauerkraut mixture into the 9x9-inch baking dish on top of the spaetzle.
  • Place the kielbasa pieces into a microwave-safe dish, and cook on full power in a microwave oven until the sausage is hot and has lost its pink color, 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer the sausage to the baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 15 minutes.
