Best 5 German Style Mushroom Sauce Recipes

AUTHENTIC GERMAN SPAETZLE WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In a separate large measuring jug, whisk together the water, milk and eggs until smooth.
• Add the egg mixture to the bowl with the flour, stir, then vigorously beat the batter with a wooden spoon until there are no more lumps, you see air bubbles forming and the batter rips off the spoon when trying to scoop it up. This will take around 5 minutes of continous beating. Cover and rest the batter for 30 minutes.
• When ready to make the Spaetzle, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Reduce the heat to a good simmer. Place a large wooden board on top of the pot, then place 1/2 cup of batter on the board. Using a blunt knife, scrape slivers of the batter into the pot.
• Once the spaetzle float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and place in a lightly buttered casserole dish to keep warm. Proceed the same way with the remaining batter.
• While the spaetzle batter is resting, place a large, deep skillet over medium high heat and melt the butter in it. Add the onion, garlic and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms have fully softened - about 5-10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning and the flour over the mushrooms, then stir well. Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
• Pour the beef broth into the skillet, stirring well. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the gravy has thickened. Finish with the cream, if you like.
• Serve the finished gravy over the finished spaetzle.

JäEGER SCHNITZEL AND MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the white wine mushroom sauce and keep it warm while you prepare the pork.

• Add the Panko bread crumbs to another dish
• Dredge the pounded pork slices first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and then in the bread crumbs. Press down gently so the bread crumbs adhere.
• Place the pork cutlets on the wire rack and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Set a cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, cover the bottom of the skillet with 1/4-inch of oil. If using an electric skillet, set the temperature to 350°.
• When the oil is hot, add the pork cutlets and cook for 2 minutes on the first side, turn with tongs and cook on the reverse side for 1-1/2 minutes. Do not crowd the pan, cook in batches adding additional oil as needed.
• As each batch is cooked transfer to the wire rack to drain.
