Grilled Romaine

Ingredients

  • salt, pepper, olive oil – as needed

Preparation

Mustard Spaetzli

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 50mL buttermilk
  • 250g all-purpose flour
  • 50g shallots
  • 10g garlic
  • 20g Dijon-style mustard
  • Salt to taste

Preparation

Blend eggs, buttermilk, garlic, shallots, and mustard until incorporated and smooth. Place mixture into bowl, add flour, and beat until gluten develops. Place colander pan over pot of boiling salted water and, using a spatula, slowly work dough through perforations into water. Slower, smoother strokes will result in better “dumpling” shape. Spaetzli is cooked once they float to the surface (roughly 5 minutes). Drain and toss with butter.
