- 250 gAll-purpose flour
- 2 largeEggs
- 75 mlWater
- 1 pinchSalt(to taste)
- 100 gWild garlic(fresh)
- 50 gButterMilch
- 20 gPumpkin seeds
- 20 gSunflower seeds
- 1 pinchBlack pepper(freshly ground, to taste)
Instructions
First, prepare the spätzle dough. Finely chop the fresh wild garlic. In a large bowl, combine the flour, eggs, water, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to form a smooth, somewhat thick dough. Fold in the chopped wild garlic. Let the dough rest for about 10-15 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spätzle maker or a cutting board and knife, press or scrape the dough into the boiling water in small pieces. Cook the spätzle in batches until they float to the surface (this usually takes 1-2 minutes). Remove them with a slotted spoon and rinse briefly with cold water to prevent sticking.
While the spätzle are cooking, prepare the brown butter and roasted seeds. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown color and smells nutty. Be careful not to burn it.
Add the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds to the brown butter in the pan. Roast them for a few minutes until they are fragrant and lightly toasted. This will add a wonderful crunch and depth of flavor.
Add the cooked spätzle to the pan with the brown butter and roasted seeds. Toss everything together gently to coat the spätzle evenly. Heat through for 2-3 minutes, allowing the spätzle to absorb the flavors.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and additional salt if needed. Serve immediately as a delicious main course or a flavorful side dish.
💡 Tipp
Varianten
- Add a splash of white wine to the brown butter for an extra layer of flavor.
- Stir in some grated Parmesan cheese at the end for a cheesy touch.
Ersatz & Alternativen
- If wild garlic is out of season, you can use a combination of spinach and garlic for a similar, though milder, flavor profile.
- Any mix of nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans) or seeds (e.g., sesame seeds, flax seeds) can be used instead of pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
Aufbewahrung
Leftover spätzle can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a little butter or oil.
Einfrieren
The cooked spätzle can be frozen plain (before adding butter and seeds) for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then proceed with browning and adding seeds.
