Chickpea Spaetzle

 

Recipe By :Aliza Green, Bean Bible

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pasta

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

2 cups chickpea flour

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

4 eggs

4 cups whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 cup soft bread crumbs

1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley -- leaves only, 1 bunch

 

1. Combine the two flours, salt and nutmeg in a bowl. Whisk together the eggs

and milk in a large bowl. Beat the egg mixture slowly into the flour mixture

until the dough is smooth and the consistency is halfway between a pancake

batter and a dough.

 

2. Bring water to a boil in a large wide pot. Working in batches, press the

dough through the holes of a colander or spaetzle maker directly into the

boiling water. Stir gently to prevent sticking. The spaetzle are ready when they

float to the surface, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve.

 

3. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and cook until evenly

toasted, stirring frequently. Toss the Spaetzle with the toasted crumbs and

parsley. Serve as a side dish to spicy meat or stews.

NOTES : Spaetzle are soft small dumplings. They are made from a batter that is

halfway between a pancake and a pasta dough and can be flavored with everything

from chestnuts and chestnut flour, to spinach, pumpkin and chickpea flour. Serve

as a pasta side dish or add to soup. Aliza writes: " I first tasted these

chickpea Spaetzle at a meal I enjoyed at the exotic and adventurous Indian

inspired restaurant, Tabla, at New York's Madison Square Park. " This recipe

captures the taste of that dish.
