2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram

Kosher salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
Freshly ground pepper
Large pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup sour cream
1 cup seltzer
3 large eggs
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill and/or parsley
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard (optional)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • Fill a large bowl with ice water. Working over the simmering water, place about 1 cup dough in a colander and push the dough through with a rubber spatula. Cook the spaetzle for 1 minute after they float to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice water. Repeat with the remaining dough, letting the water return to a bare simmer between batches. Drain the spaetzle, spread out on a baking sheet and pat dry with paper towels. Toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil.

HERBED SPAETZLE



Herbed Spaetzle image

DH and I served Williams-Sonoma's Braised Short Ribs atop of this herbed spaetzle (also from Williams-Sonoma), with a side of broccoli rabe with pancetta and garlic. It was really tasty. DH and my colander did not have holes large enough to sift the dough so we used a metal steaming basket which worked perfectly.

Categories     German

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup milk
3 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt (plus more to taste)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons chopped fresh-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs, flour, 2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, the nutmeg, and 1 Tb each of the parsley and chives. Whisk until smooth.
  • Fill a large pot 2/3 full of lightly salted water and bring to a brisk simmer over medium-high heat. Set a large bowl of ice water near the stove.
  • Put the batter in a spaetzle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, slide the hopper and drop the spaetzle directly into the simmering water. Alternatively, hold a colander with large holes over the simmering water. Using a rubber spatula, push 1 cup of the batter through the holes directly into the water. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Drain the spaetzle well in a colander with small holes so noodles do not slide through. The spaetzle may be refrigerated, covered, for up to 4 hours.
  • Just before serving, in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the spaetzle and saute, stirring frequently, until the noodles are golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, and add the remaining 2 Tbs each of parsley and chives.
  • Transfer to a warmed large serving bowl and serve immediately.

8 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Bring milk and 4 thyme sprigs to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat. Discard thyme. Transfer milk to a blender; add parsley, thyme leaves, and eggs. Blend until combined.

  • Make sure the water is hot but not boiling when you add it to the flour mixture.
  • Stir the flour mixture and water together until it forms a dough that is slightly sticky and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it is too dry, add a little more water.
  • Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking it.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Using a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the dough through the holes into the simmering water.
  • Cook the spaetzle for 2-3 minutes, or until it floats to the top of the water.
