Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 pound, sliced Cremini mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Dried dill
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh parsley
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for spaetzle dough)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for tossing spaetzle)
Instructions
In a large skillet or dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the paprika, dried dill, and soy sauce. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with 2 tablespoons of flour to form a paste. Slowly stir this mixture into the skillet, ensuring no lumps form.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with 0.5 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Keep warm on low heat.
To make the spaetzle, combine 2 cups of flour, 4 large eggs, 0.5 cup of milk, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth; the batter should be thick but pourable.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the batter into the boiling water. Work in batches if necessary.
Cook the spaetzle for 1-2 minutes. Once the pieces float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.
Toss the cooked spaetzle with 2 tablespoons of butter to prevent sticking.
To serve, spoon the Hungarian mushroom sauce over a generous portion of spaetzle. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
