Pasta di mele svizzera (pagina 2 de 2)Home >> Ricette
Page: 1 2 Previous Page
Questo piatto è insaporito con del pangrattato, se non ne avete o semplicemente non vi piace quello industriale fate come segue. Mettete sottili fette di pane in forno a 60-80°C, e fatele seccare per 30 minuti o il tempo necessario perchè siano completamente secche e friabili.
Mettete le fette di pane secco in un frullatore.
Chiudetelo e mixate vigorosamente finchè raggiungete la consistenza desiderata.
Sciogliete il burro in un'ampia padella a fondo spesso.l
Usate un largo cucchiaio per porre delicatamente gli spätzli bolliti nella padella per friggere e burro.
Muovete gli spätzli cosicchè diventino uniformemente coperti di burro e gradatamente aggiungete il resto.
Svizzeri e tedeschi cucinano raramente facendo saltare in padella gli spätzli ma gli chef dell'Alsazia lo fanno. Saltarli in padella li rende dorati e aggiunge un po' di croccantezza e sapore. Io lo consiglio caldamente sebbene in Thurgau non penso che lo faccia nessuno. Muovete costantemente per prevenire qualsiasi attaccamento.
Quando i vostri spätzli iniziano a diventare dorati sugli spigoli, aggiungete il pangrattato...
... e mescolate a fondo.
Cospargete di granelli di zucchero e cinnamomo, agitate e chiamate i vostri ospiti a tavola.
Serviteli tiepidi...
... con gelato alla vaniglia per esempio. Decisamente delizioso! Da quando ho pubblicato questo articolo molte persone mi hanno chiesto notizie riguardo alla mia grattugia per spätzle. Sono tornato al negozio ma non la avevano più e non c'è il nome di nessuna marca sull'utensile. Finalmente ho trovato lo stesso identico raschietto per spätzle su Amazon.com a solo $18! 884820 visite Bookmark with:Did you like this article? Leave me a comment or see my most popular articles.

This dish reminds me of Michel Richard's apple risotto. But his "risotto" is made of apples only, plus sugar,butter,cinnamon etc. I don't have a spätzle grate, so..for now, I have to dream about it.. Thanks!!- #2
- Comment by Allen
The spatzli are beautiful -- I can only imagine how good they taste. I've got to try this!It reminds me of an austrian dish my friend's grandmother made for me once when I visited. It used a pancake-like batter instead of spatzli. The batter is more or less stir-fried with minced apples and cinnamon sugar added, and fried until tender.- #3

This apple risotto sounds quite intriguing! Definitely lighter than my Apfelspatzli - I'll look into it.- #4
- Answered by fx
Allen, you are right, this is quite close to Kaiserschmarren, crepe batter cooked like scrambled eggs. I love it too!- #5

FX, I must say that your site is one of my favorite food sites that I've found recently. I'm in culinary school right now and your posts are really inspiring. It's nice to find others that are as obsessed with food as I am.. I need to go buy some apples! I haven't had spätzle in a long time.Cheese_puff, I too, do not have a spatzle grate, but instead try using a colander. I've had about the same results! I'm not particularly fond of uni-tasking equipment because I can't always find places to store it.- #6
- Comment by William
cheese_puffIf you don't have a spätzle grate, push the batter through a pasta colander (drainer). This is how my mom used to make it.- #7

Great article, BEAUTIFUL photography. I love your Moroccan gsâ bowl, I haven't been able to find anything like it trolling the kitchen websites. Could you tell me where you found yours so I know where to start looking? Thanks!- #8
- Comment by Dave
If you just add a little acid, such as lime or vinegar to the apple (depending on taste) it will prevent it from oxidizing (turning brown) you can really add very little lime/lemon and it will hardly affect the taste. although i might say the taste would probably be slightly more interesting with it.- #9
- Answered by fx
Acediac thanks for visiting, I am most pleased to hear that a future chef can find inspiration in my blog! You are quite right that single-function cookware is often a waste of space. The spätzli grate is a mild case of this - it is so flat it will fit in any kitchen!- #10
- Answered by fx
William, the colander trick to make spaetzle looks like a mighty fine idea!- #11
- Answered by fx
MK, outside Morocco I have seen such large, flat bowls only in Japan in shops specializing in soba noodles equipment. I realize this is hardly any help - perhaps you could use a large flat ceramic bowl in the meanwhile? This specific gsâa was made from one large piece of walnut tree trunk and didn't cost very much - about $50. A nice reason to visit Marrakesh!- #12
- Answered by fx
Dave, you are quite right, a pinch of lemon will prevent the apple from turning brown and might improve the taste!- #13

Just today I claimed I had too many recipes and would no longer print any from the internet. your article was so tempting that I have broken that vow already! I have a dear friend who is Austrian and I would like to try this apple spatzle for her. thanks so very much.- #14

I have a spatzle machine that my mother bought in Germany before I was born. ( I was born in Germany!) Growing up we had spatzle about every month. When my mother passed away, I inherited the machine. It is the one you place the grate across the pot of boiling water and then fill the hopper and start passing the dough across the grates. It takes arm power! I am wondering where I can get a spatzle maker like the one you are using in the pics above. It looks alot easier and safer! I can't wait to make these apple spatzles! They look wonderful! Anything fried in butter is delicious! My husband loves when I make spatzle and stands over the frying pan when they are frying!! He said they'll make you "pretty"!Thanks for the recipe!- #15
- Comment by Diane on holiday
Now that looks really yummy! I'll have to give that a go and see how it turns out! I'll have to use my potato ricer though as I don't have one of those marvellous flat screens to use to push the batter through!Mmm I wonder what it'll be like with carrots and courgettes grated up instead of the apple (And maybe not served with icecream but a little cheese sauce...)Thanks for the inspirational photos!- #16
- Comment by Mary Neitzel
My son sent your apple spaetzle recipe to me in hopes that I will make it when he visits. My family loves when I prepare regular spaetzle and this recipe would be the best finish to a meal. I will try it soon.- #17
- Comment by day
I liked this way of preparing a dish, quite new to me , it inspired me, one can make it with potato grates ,and add cheese instead of bread crumbs or with eggplants, and add garlic powder to the bread crumbs, with zucchinis too it will be good. Thanks for the article!- #18

PJ you can make spaetzle using a colander for instance, but to buy the utensil I used in my article you need to come to Switzerland or Germany!- #21
- Answered by fx
Diane thanks for your nice comment! I think you should be able to make nice spaetzle with your potato ricer, but am not sure that zuchini would add much to the spaetzle.- #22

Where do you get the speatzle cover with the handle? can I get a company name and address? please.

John, I bought it at Globus, a department store in Lausanne. You could get a plastic version online for about 15$ from Betty Bossi (http://www.bettybossi.ch/fr/shop/shop_prod_deta.aspx?aid=28645) but I am not sure they'll ship to the US. I'll try to find the manufacturer of mine and will list it here.- #29

I am not familiar with the unit gr. From what I found it is a grain... I could be wrong and I do not know how to use this measurement for cooking. I googled some converters and came up with nothing of use and I do not have a scale. I am used to using cups and tbsp can someone help me out in converting please?- #32
- Answered by fx
SirDonko, 'gr' stands for Grams, a thousand of them make 1 kg. I'll try to figure out volume conversion.- #33
- Comment by PJ
Can you tell me the brand name of the "spaetzle utensil" you are using? The company name that makes it? I am absolutely sure that I can find it online and buy it. German stores have "online stores". I will send you a picture of my spaetzel machine my mom bought in Germany before I was born. It still works like the day she bought it but it takes alot of strength to hold the colander part on top of the pot of boiling water and then the other hand has to pull the chute full of dough across the grate. I really like the one you are using because it looks like it would fit perfectly, covering my pot I use to make this mouth watering treat!Thanks for your help!- #34
- Answered by fx
Couldn't find the brand name of my own spaetzle maker, but you can buy another one all in stainless steel from SwissMilk.ch, and it looks quite nice. Otherwise try with a colander. I'll report back when I can find the damn brand name of my spätzli grate, but have to back to the shop and pray they still stock it because there is no brand name on the grate itself.- #35
- Comment by Stahlregen
Actually, those are not Spätzle, but rather Knöpfle ("small buttons", from german Knopf = Button). Traditionally, Spätzle are scraped from a cutting board into boiling salt water with a special scraper, resulting in an irregular, noodly shape - depending on how firm your dough is and how thin you scrape them, you either get thinner and longer spätzle, or stumpy, thick knöpfle. Most appliances (my advice would be to try searching for "Spätzlehobel" to find those) tend to produce knöpfle, mostly. The texture differences between the two variants do have an influence on the taste.If you want to scrape them, try getting a cutting board with a handle and a metal scraper, if possible (a flat knife can do the trick, too). Get a pot of boiling salt water, and put one or two spoons of dough on your cutting board. The dough should be sticky enough to only run down very slowly when you tilt one edge of the board down into the water. Wet your scraper by dipping it into the water and then use it to spread the dough to a thin layer. Now the idea is to cut off the lower edge of the spread dough and shove it down into the water, then repeat. If the dough flows too far down or your way to the water becomes too long, spread it again. Continue until the whole water surface is covered with spätzle, then let them cook for minute or so and remove them with a skimming ladle. Rinse and repeat.I wish I was as good as this as my grandma - I always end up with a mixture of spätzle and knöpfle.- #36
- Comment by Traci ~ Soup of The Day
I make it with my ricer. Works great.- #37
- Answered by fx
Stahlregen, you are inded a fine observer and make a very valid point. My recipe is for spätzle and I made them a bit shorter than regular spätzle, and I agree that the proper word for this would be "Knöpfle" (German for 'little bouton'). I've seen many of the spätzle graters you describe, but they make you place both hands right above the open pot of boiling water. Steamed chef hands part of the menu perhaps? Anyway, thanks for visiting and for pointing this out!- #38

Wonderful recipe! I just got a Spätzlepresse, which immediately made a Swabian friend of mine cry bitter tears, but really: must faster than the Spatzenbrett. 'twas very tasty, my normal recipe, but yours here is definitely next on the list! & :-)- #39

Hi thereI just found your blog through stumbleupon and am loving the design, nice and clean and simple. The recipes are looking nice as well and can certainly see myself making some of them in the future. I am actually looking for people with excellent food photos who want to share them with the world and interact with other foodies. I started by blogging myself about a year ago and was frustrated that not enough people were seeing the quality content I had and saw huge potential for people to share their food photos and videos with a bigger audience and ultimately drive more traffic back to their own site. Check me out at www.ifoods.tv and let me know what you think and keep up the good work on the blog!

I have been a bit obsessed with this glorious food since seeing these photos recently--whoever thought that fruit peels, boiled dough and breadcrumbs could be so beautiful?--and Apfelspätzli appears in my life at the most fortunate time, because I will be in Switzerland next week! I'll make the real thing, with genuine Thurgau apples! Surely, the Deity of Dessert has blessed me.I asked my friend Guido from Andwil in the canton of St. Gallen about this. He wrote that he calls it öpfelchnöpfli. Here in New Jersey, we have a summer carnival treat, funnel cakes, that looks very similar, but our version is just deep-fried dough with sugar on top, and the dough is squirted from a bottle rather than scraped. I'm sure this is superior. I can't wait to try it! Really, these photos should be in Swiss tourism brochures; forget all those mountains and cows!
So, this will be my first attempt at making Swiss cuisine, and I'm lucky enough to try it in a Swiss kitchen. I'm not all that skillful with a stove, and the village of Andwil may go up in smoke and flames, but, should you hear of a fiery incident across the country, know that one American visitor to the land of Apple Pasta has died VERY HAPPILY! (if I got to eat it first, I mean)
One question, in case of success: Can this dish be prepared with any other fruit, such as pomegranates or pears? Thank you!

Wow! Amazing photos, very detailed. This is a cool website! Step by step photos like this really helps, I can't wait to try this recipe! I'll let you know how it turns out. Hopefully it will turn out just like how it looks and I can suprise my co-workers (where all foodies) and tell them I made it myself! Thanks!- #52

Meramarina, thanks for visiting and good luck if you try this. No, I don't think you can use another fruit for this but who knows? You should however make sure to find a proper spätzli grate, most of them will burn your hands above the hot water - but that won't set the kitchen on fire.- #54
- Comment by meramarina
The pilgrimage was successful! Nobody was injured, and the spätzi was as delicious as I had hoped. My Swiss friend's mother did a lot of the work, since she's an experienced Swiss cook, and she had the proper sort of back-and-forth sliding scraper in her kitchen. I searched for one to purchase, but I was told this implement is old-fashioned and mostly no longer in use.This nice Swiss lady used your recipe--it makes A LOT! And, thanks very much for posting the German translation; She doesn't speak much English and it was a great help. The only difficulty we had was getting the grated apple into the dough. The pieces would not easily go through the holes in the grate.
We also made a plain version without the apples, sugar and cinnamon--also wonderful!
Thank you for helping to make my visit to Switzerland extra-special with this recipe!

Mera Marina, thanks for keeping us posted on this great Swiss expedition of yours - apparently it was a resounding success. Congratulations!

I love your recipe and will be sure to try it. I grew up eating spaetzle (our family's way of spelling it) and forgot how much I enjoyed it. My grandmother and her sisters made it and it was delicious. Their heritage is Swiss and a grandmother from Alsace Lorraine which I'm told varied between French and German. We never had a dessert version and I want to use yours. It sounds and looks so very good. The dishes I remember where the spaetzles were added were sauerbraten and pork with sauerkraut. Delicious!. Thanks so much for sharing and giving me a trip down memory lane! And I love your pictures. I think they add a great deal to the recipe. Regards, Susan- #66
- Comment by Matthew
I tried your recipe, but it didn't turn out very well. I think I may have used too much apple juice in the dough. How much liquid is one glass supposed to be in imperial measurements? I tried one cup, but the dough seemed a little too runny.I'll try it again soon though, hopefully with better results.
