Spatzle With Parsley Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 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, 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.
• 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.

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.

Steps:

• In small bowl, beat together egg yolks, egg, and milk.
• In medium bowl, whisk together flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and mix with wooden spoon just until well blended. (Do not overmix.) Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Bring large pot salted water to boil. Fill large bowl with ice water. Place spätzlemaker, perforated sheet pan, or large-holed colander on top of pot. Force one-third of batter through holes into water. Cook until spätzle float to surface, 4 to 5 minutes, then transfer immediately with slotted spoon to bowl of ice water. Make 2 more batches in same manner.
• When spätzle are cool to touch, drain well and toss with 1/4 cup oil. (Spätzle can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.)
• In large sauté pan over high heat, heat remaining 1/4 cup oil. Add spätzle and cook, without moving pan, until undersides are brown, about 2 minutes. Add butter and sauté until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

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.
• Whisk flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in milk mixture until smooth.
• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Working with about 1/4 cup batter at a time, press batter through 1/4-inch holes of a colander or spaetzle maker into boiling water. Cook until spaetzle float to top, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to an ice-water bath. Drain.
• Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the spaetzle; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with remaining thyme.

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.
