Totally different side of the country but if there was a nationally promoted recipe somewhere, maybe it got adopted.

      Little tip from a Swabian: the tool Beryl uses is useful but not necessary for making Spätzle. Historically, housewives scraped the dough from a wooden board with a knife into boiling salted water. There are special boards, but it works with a normal board just as well (use the backside if yours has a groove for juices). The noodles will be longer. But that's just regional variety and still authentic.
      There are how-to videos on UA-cam. If you can't find an English one, look for "Spätzle schaben". Most importantly: Keep everything wet and the dough thin. The noodles are done when they swim on the surface.

    I make caramelized onions in bulk. I'll slice about 5 large sweet onions, put them in my slow cooker (along with about a 1/4 c. olive oil and a big pinch of salt) and cook them on low for 10-12 hours (mostly overnight). Keep going until they're as done as you like. Then I portion them into individual bags and freeze. Ready to go when I need them!

    Heyy Beryl, one tip for caramelizing onions is to add water at the start so they drop their water faster and then caramelize faster.
    Also when cleaning anything with dough or flour in general wash with cold water first. Hot water will cook the dough to whatever surface you're trying to clean it from. 💜

    Oregano tip. Look in the Mexican spice section with all the little packets of spices hanging together. Look for the Mexican oregano. Not only is it cheaper than regular oregano. It's twice as flavorful and very fresh. When I get low on oregano. I usually buy two of these Mexican oregano packets and pour them into my original oregano container. I'm so much happier using the Mexican oregano and I can't even use it without first stealing a good whif of it's fresh aroma every time I open the container. It's so fresh and heavenly.

    Hi Beryl! All of these recipes look amazing! I wanted to share a couple tips my mom taught me when making a roux. I usually use a whisk. I think it helps get rid of lumps better than a spoon. Also, if you heat your milk for a minute or two before putting it in slowly as you did keeps the roux from lumping up as well. I think it's because the cold milk on the hot butter solidifies the butter, while hot milk keeps it all melty. Thanks for what you do!

      actually, it is recommended to use cold milk if the roux is hot and hot milk if the roux is cold, it's this difference of temperature that will help thicken the preparation (it's called "empois" in french but I don't know how to say it in english, basically it has to do with the starch)
      But I totally agree on the whisk part

      @@vitelote7788 YEP... I came to the comments as SOON as I saw Beryl question the roux..... I can concur as a Southerner (we use roux a lot here too lol)... I was always taught that adding cold milk to hot roux does help thicken the sauce more.... BUT you have to be patient and let it come to temp and a completely even consistency before adding anything... I was also taught that in something like this where you're adding cheese, it's not as critical either way because it's gonna be cheesy anyway and the starch on the pasta will help thicken the sauce as it bakes as well. So down here some folks heat the milk, some don't and it's mostly just personal preference... (though I'm SURE it's started a LOT of trash talk at community pot lucks over the years)
      I agree with EVERYONE on the whisk... Not saying you CAN'T make a lump free roux with a spoon, but why would you want to? A whisk is gonna be easier.

    Hi Beryl,
    i'm Susi from Hungary.
    The Túrós Tészta recipe, if you ever want to taste it again: when you eat it, add some fresh sour cream, as it makes it extra delicious that way 😃
    For the finishing touches of "Käse Spätzle" here's a good tip:
    After using the pasta cutter, it must be rinsed with cold water strictly,
    otherwise, you'll "cook" the pasta onto the pasta cutter. That's why it was so difficult to clean.
    I hope this info reaches you, and it will be easier next time.

    Spätzle-like fresh egg drop pastas are indeed eaten in other countries bordering German-speaking countries, as well. My favourite is probably Slovakian bryndzové halusky, whose Spätzle mix has added grated raw potatoes, and when cooked, fresh sheep cheese (bryndza) is tossed with it and crispy bacon bits added as a topping.

      Whenever I make túrós tészta, I have the bacon one as the main dish and then a portion with sugar as a dessert (and sometimes I do the monsters' version *evil chuckle*). XD And the 3rd option is cheese pasta: pasta+sour cream+tons of grated cheese. Yumm.

    I love a green lettuce salad with a simple vinegar oil (and a pinch of suggar) dressing as a side dish for the käsespätzle.
    Also I would change the order of cooking the Käsespätzle. 1. Do the caramelized onions 2. Grind the cheese ( try a combination Emmentaler & Gruyere) 3. Do the Spätzle 4. Layer the still hot Spätzle with cheese and onions. The cheese will melt by the hot Spätzle. So you don't have to put it in the oven.

    • @arianewinter4266
      @arianewinter4266 6 місяців тому +5

      I am used to caramalising the onions, making the noodles or using baught ones, while the caramelising is happening, then put the noodles into a pan giving them some color and crisp and then melt the chease in there and color a bit further . . . I do not know anyone, who puts the dish in the oven!

    • @NorahAlice
      @NorahAlice 6 місяців тому +2

    • @baumgrt
      @baumgrt 6 місяців тому

      Emmentaler and Gruyère is a great combo. In Switzerland, it’s even available pre-mixed and pre-grated, e.g. as a filling for cheese pie (which is called Käsekuchen here, to the chagrin of a great many German/Austrian visitors or immigrants 😂).

    • @yomintyfresh
      @yomintyfresh 6 місяців тому +2

      Another way to do the Käsespätzle that is faster and lets you skip the oven: Caramelize some diced onions (it goes faster and is easier to eat than thinly sliced onions). Add the cooked Spätzle to the pan with the caramelized onions, with a splash of milk or cream, the cheese, and (optionally) some pepper and/ or nutmeg. Some purists say that milk or cream shouldn't be in Käsespätzle but I think it makes it really creamy and especially delicious. Also, there is a restaurant in my town in southern Germany that serves various forms of Spätzle and only Spätzle. They put cream in their Käsespätzle, so that's my justification for doing the same thing at home. ;) If you want to add a little acidity so it feels less heavy, you could also add a little spoonful of lingonberry jam or fig mustard and either add it to individual bites or stir it through the plate of Spätzle.

    • @idnwiw
      @idnwiw 6 місяців тому +1

      So am I the only one who doesn't caramelize the onions? Onions are the secret ingredient in the recipe in my opinion, - double the amount of onion to make your Käsespätzle juicy, but I give them a quick, light browning instead of making them sweat.

    So Túrós tészta and Käsespätzle are both dishes full of memories ranging from tent camps to beer gardens.
    To caramelize the onions, the trick is to first steam them with water in a closed pot. Steaming brings all the sugar molecules to the surface of the onion and the onion-slices caramelize super fast once the water has evaporated. Try it out. Guten Appetit 😊

    I thought the same thing about lokshen kugel and the Hungarian dish turos teszta! I think the main difference is that we bake lokshen kugel, and also I usually put golden raisins in mine. It's definitely a sweeter dish more than a savoury one in my household. And yes, I always use dry farmer's cheese as Marti mentioned; it's often sold as "pressed cottage cheese" in Canada and the US. You can get it full-fat or skim.
