6 servings
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
2 | Egg whites | |
1 | Whole egg (or 2 more whites) | |
1 | cup | Skim milk |
½ | cup | Minced herbs (basil, oregano, tarragon, thyme chervil, chives and/or flat-leaf parsley) |
Salt and pepper | ||
Grated nutmeg | ||
2 | cups | Flour (approx) |
2 | teaspoons | Olive oil (opt) |
Combine the egg whites, egg, milk, 6 tbs herbs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Sift in the flour. Mix with a wooden spoon to obtain a loose, sticky batter (the consistency of apple sauce). If it's too thin, add a little flour.
Bring a t least 2 quarts water to a rolling boil in a large, deep saucepan. Add 1 tsp salt. Place a spaetzle maker over the pan, load it with dough, and cut tiny droplets into the water. Cook for 1 minute, or until the water returns to a boil and the spaetzle rise to the surface. Remove the spaetzle with a skimmer or slotted spoon and transfer to a colander to drain. Continue cooking the spaetzle this way until all the batter is used up.
Transfer the spaetzle to a bowl and toss with olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining herbs and serve at once.
