Hungarian Mushrooms With Spaetzle Sptzle Recipes

MUSHROOM AND MUSTARD SPAETZLE

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked spaetzle and saute until slightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the pan to a serving platter and set aside while you cook the mushrooms. Set the skillet back over high heat and add a little more olive oil and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the thyme, mushrooms and garlic and saute until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the cream and mustard and stir well. Reduce the mixture until the sauce is nice and thick, about 3 minutes. Fold in the spaetzle. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with chives and serve alongside the pork schnitzel, if desired.
• Spaetzle:
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg-milk mixture. Gradually draw in the flour from the sides and combine well; the dough should be smooth and thick. Let the dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot, over medium heat. Reduce the heat 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. Drain the spaetzle in a colander and give it a quick rinse with cool water. This can be made up to 1 hour in advance.

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the spaetzle; tossing to coat. Cook the spaetzle for 1 to 2 minutes to give the noodles some color, and then sprinkle with the chopped chives and season with salt and pepper before serving.

GERMAN SPAETZLE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Mix together flour, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Beat eggs well, and add alternately with the milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
• Press dough through spaetzle maker, or a large holed sieve or metal grater.
• Drop a few at a time into simmering liquid. Cook 5 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
• Saute cooked spaetzle in butter or margarine. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, and serve.

SPAETZLE - HUNGARIAN

Steps:

• Mix flour, eggs, and a little salt with water into a paste. Do not beat!
• Drop bit by bit into boiling salted water (the more the better).
• Two approaches work here, either: (a) lower scant teaspoon of the paste into the boiling water (the spaetzle will separate from the spoon and start to cook) one by one, (b)use a coarse grater to force drops of the paste into the water.
• Cook for 1-2 minutes then strain (and rinse, optional).

HUNGARIAN MUSHROOMS WITH SPAETZLE (SPäTZLE)

Steps:

• Mushrooms:.
• Heat a wide pan over a low flame and add butter. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent.
• Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper, raise the heat and stir. When the moisture from the mushrooms has been released, allow it to evaporate, concentrating the flavour. This might happen quickly or slowly, depending entirely on the type of mushrooms used.
• Add the paprika and cayenne then fry for a few moments more, until the paprika turns a shade darker. Finally, add the sour cream or crème fraiche and dill, and allow it bubble gently for about 5 minutes more.
• Spatzle:.
• Choose a large boiling pot and a large-hole colander which will rest on top of the pot. Fill the pot with water and rest the colander on top, so that the base of the colander is at least 5cm / 2 inches above the surface. Bring to the boil, salt it well, and reduce to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, mix the salt into the flour. Add the egg and gradually work in the milk. You may need more or less milk, but you want to achieve a consistency somewhere between a dough and a batter, though leaning towards batter - you should be able to push it through the holes of the colander quite easily.
• Using a large metal spoon, scoop part of the batter into the colander and push it through into the simmering water. The spatzle will sink to the bottom, then rise when cooked. Remove cooked spatzle with a slotted spoon and keep warm while you cook the remaining batches.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM SOUP WITH SPAETZLE

Steps:

• Whisk flour, salt, oregano, marjoram, parsley, chives, dill, and pepper together in a large bowl.
• Whisk milk, eggs, and mustard together in a small bowl. Gradually mix in flour mixture until just combined.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Place a spaetzle maker over the boiling water and pour spaetzle dough into the slider basket. Run the basket back and forth until bits of dough fall into the boiling water. Boil spaetzle until firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
• Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil, then onion. Sweat the onion for 3 to 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and saute until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add spaetzle and stir to combine. Cook until spaetzle is heated through and crispy in spots, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
