Spaetzle - Hungarian

Sun, 05 Sep 1999 19:36:00 -0400

Various English spellings abound, but my Hungarian family has always pronounced this as shpetz-leh. I prefer spaetzle topped with Chicken Paprikash or Beef Goulash (anything with lots of Hungarian paprika!!). -- posted by Melody

Hungarian Nockerl

Sat, 27 Jan 2001 13:55:58 -0500

Hungarian noodle dish served with braised meats and paprikash dishes. I come from a long line of Hungarian's and am a first generation Hungarian-American. We call it Nockerl and many Hungarian cookbooks call it by this name. Get over it. -- posted by Hungarian Gypsy

Spaetzle

Sat, 16 Feb 2002 11:28:16 -0500

Spaetzle are like noodles but better! They are served with many Hungarian meals and also Bavarian/German meals. They are used as the starch part of the meal in place of potatoes, rice or pasta Once cooked you can fry them in butter or just toss them with a little butter. Serve with gravy etc.your choice. The picture with the Spaetzle on the red plate is the way they look right after boiling them and have a little butter on them, they are quite good served plain like this. The photo in the fry pan is the way I like them most. I used a little bacon dripping, fried some onions and mushrooms added the cooked spaetzel and browned it very slowly took approx 30 minutes. Chopped bacon is also very good mixed in. Spaetzel is a nice change from regular pasta. -- posted by Bergy

Hungarian Spatzle

Sat, 16 Feb 2002 11:28:30 -0500

Hearty wholewheat spatzle is delicious with a hungarian dish called Rakott Kaposzta (separate posting) and cucumber Salad (also separate posting). I like the pinch of nutmeg. Spatzle is served in lieu of pasta, dumplings, rice or potatoes. You may want to adjust the flour egg ratio, you can tell when you are pushing the spatzle through the colinder. Of course if you have a Spatzle maker all the better but the colinder works. There are many different recipes for Spatzel. Some use white flour, some have no milk and what you serve it with is up to you. -- posted by Bergy

Hungarian Potatoes

Tue, 22 Oct 2002 22:12:22 -0400

This recipe is an adoptee from the RecipeZaar account. It's a nice, simple potato casserole; very satisfying. Next time I make it, I will toss the potatoes with most of the butter, rather than leaving the butter in the bottom of the casserole. I will also drizzle the top with some butter (the breadcrumbs don't seem to brown, otherwise). I hope you like it! -- posted by Aunt Cookie

Hungarian Cucumber Salad

Tue, 14 Jan 2003 20:06:35 -0500

Many hungarian families have cucumber salad to complement any of the spicey dishes popular in the cuisine. I was taught to make this as a very young girl. I am often asked to bring this dish along. -- posted by BoxO'Wine

Helen is my mother. no matter what i do, i cant get the coleslaw to taste like hers but this recipe comes very close. i think the love she had for us came through her pores when she squeezed the cabbage. cant buy that or duplicate it. thanks mom, i miss you terribly. -- posted by BoxO'Wine

Lecso

Sun, 09 Mar 2003 20:04:31 -0500

This is a family recipe. Not exactly sure where this one originated from. Its great served with rice, or with crusty bread. Or you can get adventurous, and add a couple of spicy sausages to it, (cut into 1/2 inch chunks), for a hearty winter meal. -- posted by Moody

Hungarian Potato and Egg Casserole

Tue, 13 May 2003 20:01:23 -0400

Secrets of Hungarian Cookery. For Godie Michael, a volunteer at Hope Lodge, a real sweety who let me see two of her really old cook books that she had adjusted a lot of the recipes for.

Thu, 09 Jun 2005 20:57:15 -0400

From an old Sunset International Cookbook. The addition of sugar balances the strong flavor of the cabbage. Tinged with gold, this toasted cabbage makes an excellent accompaniment to chicken, pork, etc. Time consuming but worth the effort. -- posted by Cookgirl

Spoon Bread a La Scharf Family

Mon, 07 Nov 2005 20:21:06 -0500

This recipe was handed down by my grandfather and then my father. However, all the quantities are a little bit of this and a pinch of that. Have done my best to do it justice by measuring out the ingredients. I hope it comes out all right! I am sure it can be made with low-fat ingredients and it won't affect the taste, too much. -- posted by Manami

Hrutka (Egg Cheese)

Mon, 26 Jun 2006 18:59:05 -0400

Otherwise known in English as "egg cheese". This is from my MIL who has Czech heritage. She makes this every Easter. She slices it and serves it at room temp with ham. *I* like it when it's chilled and I slice it and put it on a sandwich w/ cold leftover ham slices. It's a soft, solid custard. Servings are a guess. Prep time is the chilling time. -- posted by *Parsley*

Noodles, Cabbage and Onions - Halushki

Tue, 25 Jul 2006 17:57:49 -0400

There must be dozens recipes out there, all made by their grandmother's and mother's, who were Polish,Ukranian, Hungarian, Russian or from others who have some other Eastern European background, but I decided I would add mine which my grandfather, from Rumania, used to make with me in our home in Cuba. My father would just melt when I made this and we served it with brisket and gravy, not that the dish needed anything else. In spite of what the directions may seem this is a quickie noodle dish. UPDATE: 12/27/07 just made this again and I used microwaveable(sp) turkey bacon(special request)and I used crushed red pepper flakes and it was great! We enjoyed it so much and I still would like more since I am only allowed a bite!!! "UP-UPDATE" 04/18/09 - have corrected the tiny grammatical error, thanks for the tip! ;) -- posted by Manami

Mustard Chive Spaetzle

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:58:58 -0500

A fusion twist on a Hungarian family favorite! If you've never made spaetzle before and do not have a spaetzle maker, this will require some practice and arm/wrist work while making it. However, you won't regret gaining this skill! Spaetzle is a wonderful side dish to any meal with sauce or gravy! It says it serves 4, but in my family, 2! -- posted by Gaia22
