I saw this last night on Paula's Party and thought it sounded interesting. This would be perfect for Valentine's Day or some romantic meal. Ingredients:
8 1/2 ounces creme fraiche |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 ounces 70% chocolate, melted |
1 ounce sugar |
5 teaspoons salt, plus a pinch |
7 ounces all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 ounces cocoa powder |
1 1/2 ounces atomized chocolate |
olive oil |
macerated strawberry, drained |
chocolate meringue (optional) |
strawberry sorbet |
Directions:
1. In blender, puree creme fraiche, eggs & vanilla extract.
2. Pour melted chocolate into running blender and puree until smooth and emulsified.
3. Sift dry ingredients (sugar, 5 tsp salt, flour, cocoa powder & atomized chocolate).
4. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients (in bowl) and stir in wet mixture.
5. Let ir rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
6. Press mixture through a spaetzle press (or potato ricer) into a large pot of boiling water.
7. After they float, cook for 1 additional minute.
8. Drain and put into large bowl, tossing with a pinch of salt and olive oil to coat.
9. Heat a griddle or large pan and coat with oil.
10. Toss cooked spaetzle onto hot griddle with macerated strawberries, cooking until spaetzle crisps a bit.
