Size matters
April 11th, 2009Just made spätzle dough only to realize that I had nothing even remotely resembling a spätzle press (had assumed my colander would work; holes were way too small). After a bit of futility trying to squeeze the dough into very small pieces, I gave up and tore it off by hand (not easy with sticky dough) and made bits of boiled dough that were something of a cross between spätzle and superballs. Fried up in oil and butter and then added blanched brussel sprouts. A bit chewy, but not bad — I definitely see the appeal of spätzle, but need to acquire better tools before trying again. Also pictured, tofu w/ garbanzo, spring onion, and garlic.
