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.

HAM AND CHEESE SPAETZLE



HAM AND CHEESE SPAETZLE image

Categories     Cheese     Mushroom     Pasta     Casserole/Gratin     Ham

Yield 4 hearty servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

--Spaetzle--
2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
--Sauce--
12oz ham, cubed
1 medium onion, diced
12oz mushrooms, sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
3 1/2 tbsp whole wheat flour
2 cups milk
2 cups chicken stock
4oz co-jack cheese, shredded
4oz sharp cheddar, shredded
2oz parmessan, grated
2oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp nutmeg
pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a mixer, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Starting at a slow speed, drizzle wet mixture in until combined well. Turn the mixer to medium speed and mix until the dough is smooth and thick. Let the dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot, then reduce to a simmer. To form the spaetzle, hold a large holed colander or slotted spoon over the simmering water and push the dough through the holes with a spatula or spoon. Do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the spaetzle floats to the surface, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Dump the spaetzle into a colander and give it a quick rinse with cool water. Toss with olive oil and set aside. For the sauce, saute ham, mushrooms and onions in a large skillet until onions are translucent. Add the olive oil, then sprinkle in the flour and cook 2-3 minutes more. Slowly add the milk and chicken stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens to a gravy consistency. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sauce, cheeses, spaetzle and seasonings. Mix well. Transfer to a baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes until browned and bubbly. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
