Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 40 g Wild garlic
  • 300 g Flour
  • 3 TABLESPOONS Flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 3 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 1 TEASPOON Oil
  • 1 Shallot
  • 1 small onion
  • 5 TABLESPOONS Butter
  • 200 g Whipped cream
  • 1 TEASPOON Vegetable broth (instant)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Chilli powder
  • 125 g Ammergauer Almfleisch in thin slices
  • 125 g Bündner meat in slices

Directions

  1. 1

    For the spaetzle dough, wash wild garlic, shake dry and finely chop the leaves. Puree finely with 100 ml water. Mix 300 g flour and 1 pinch of salt. Whisk the eggs. Gradually fold in the oil, wild garlic puree and flour with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to bubble. Cover and leave to swell at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    For the sauce, peel and finely dice the shallot. Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a pot and fry the shallot until transparent. Add 3 tbsp. flour and sauté until light brown. Add 300 ml water and cream while stirring, bring to the boil and stir in the stock. Simmer sauce for about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and chilli powder.

  3. 3

    Boil up plenty of salted water. Spread the dough with a spaetzle slicer in portions into the water, let it simmer briefly. When the spaetzle float on top, remove them with a skimmer and immediately put them into a large bowl of ice-cold water (this way the green colour is preserved). Finally, pour all the spaetzle into a sieve and drain well.

  4. 4

    Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan. Heat the spaetzle in it while turning. Serve with sauce and alpine meat. Serve with a mixed salad.
