Best 5 Pork Over Spaetzle Recipes

ZURICH-STYLE PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPäTZLE

Steps:

• For the spätzle: In a bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly grated nutmeg. Add about 50 ml (about 1/3 cup) water and stir until smooth. Stir in the eggs. Gradually add another 75 ml (6 tablespoons) water while beating with a hand mixer on high speed. The batter should be stiff and should hold an air bubble.
• In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Pour the dough through a spätzle press or cut into noodles with a spätzle board. Boil the spätzle until they float to the surface, then use a slotted spoon to lift them out of the water. Drain.
• Rinse the pork tenderloin in cold water, pat dry, and cut into narrow strips. Peel the onion and dice. Wipe the mushrooms clean and slice.
• In a pan, heat oil. Add the pork strips and sauté over high heat; remove from the pan. Add 1 teaspoon butter to the pan. Add the onions and mushrooms and sauté 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat.
• Return the pork to the pan and sprinkle with paprika. Stir in the tomato paste and beef stock. Cover and simmer over low heat about 5 minutes. Stir in the soy creamer, return to a boil. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a sauté pan, heat the remaining butter. Add the spätzle and and toss or stir over medium heat until hot. To serve, divide the spätzle and pork among 4 warmed plates. Garnish as desired with the lettuce, tomato, parsley, and lemon.

PORK SAUSAGE WITH HERB SPAETZLE

Steps:

• For the sausage: In a large bowl, combine the pork, garlic, sage, salt and crushed red pepper. Run the mixture through a meat grinder fitted with the die with the largest holes. Repeat so that all the meat goes through the grinder twice. Add the water and Parmesan and mix together.
• Attach the sausage-stuffing attachment to the meat grinder, keeping the grinder blade and die in place. Place a generous amount of the sausage mixture into the grinder pan. Give the casings a slight bit of resistance by holding onto the sausage stuffer with three fingers and letting the casing slip through your thumb and forefinger. Turn the machine on and fill the casings, being careful to avoid any air bubbles.
• Twist the casings to create evenly-sized 4-inch sausages. Tie the sausages with butcher's twine to keep them nicely sealed, then prick all over with a pin or skewer to allow steam to escape while cooking (you don't want to have a blow-out!).
• Place the sausage links into boiling water and parboil for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the water, reserving the sausage water for spätzle, and transfer sausages to a preheated saute pan slicked with oil. Saute until browned, about 6 minutes.
• For the spaetzle: Bring the sausage water back to a boil over medium heat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until homogeneous.
• Add the flour to a large bowl and make a well in the flour. Add a pinch of salt and then, with a fork, gradually combine the milk-egg mixture with the flour. Mix until just combined. Stir in half of the dill, marjoram, oregano and parsley (1/4 cup total).
• Place the batter in a colander set over the boiling sausage water. Using a rubber spatula or a spaetzle maker, push the batter through the colander and into the water. Boil the spaetzle until firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add to a preheated saute pan slicked with oil. Add the savoy cabbage, white wine and mustard and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Finish with the butter.
• Serve 2 sausages to a plate with herb spaetzle on the side.

GESCHNETZELTES (CREAMY HUNTER'S SAUCE)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat and brown the pork on all sides. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onions to the skillet, adding more oil if necessary, and saute until translucent and beginning to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion mushroom mixture to pork and set aside.
• Melt the butter in the skillet and whisk in the flour, continuing to whisk until the mixture is a rich caramel brown. Add the milk and heavy cream, whisking continually, until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
• Add the paprika and crumble in the beef bouillon and whisk until smooth.
• Return the meat mixture to the sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add more milk if the sauce is too thick, or add a flour slurry to thicken.
• Serve immediately with hot spaetzle or egg noodles and a fresh green salad.

PORK OVER SPAETZLE

Steps:

• 1. Cook spaetzle for 25 minutes, as per package directions. (For noodles, cook 7 minutes or as per package directions.) 2. Meanwhile, blend flour, 1 teaspoon of the rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper in a dish. Coat pork in flour mixture. 3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts, radicchio, mushrooms, remaining rosemary and vegetable broth. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until softened. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. 4. In another large skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add half the pork and brown on both sides (1 to 2 minutes per side). Repeat with remaining pork. 5. Drain spaetzle and stir into veggies. Serve pork over spaetzle mixture.

PORK PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until shimmering. Add half of the pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but not cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork.
• Spoon off the fat from the skillet or Dutch oven, then melt the butter in the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Add the onion, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in both paprikas and the cayenne, then stir in the flour and cook until fragrant and the mixture starts to stick to the bottom, about 1 minute.
• Gradually stir or whisk in the broth and tomatoes until incorporated. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, add the noodles or pappardelle to the boiling water and cook as the label directs; drain.
• Nestle the pork in the sauce and cook, stirring gently, until the pork is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the 1/4 cup of sour cream. Serve over the cooked noodles or pappardelle, topped with sour cream and dill sprigs.
