Looks delicious!

Where would one obtain boar? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in the shops.

You usually buy it from a local hunter.

Here in the south of Germany, it is commonly available in autumn and winter.

Just go to your local forest and wait until sunrise.

I made spaetzle for the first time at Thanksgiving. It was spaetzle and green beans with bacon in a garlic butter sauce.

It was delicious but almost killed me making it. I didn’t have a colander(I think it got thrown out last time I moved) so tried to use a strainer, the holes were too small and wouldn’t work. I ended up using a Manual lemon juicer. My girlfriend misread the recipe and made 20 servings of the batter.

By the time I dinner was ready I was barely able to lift my fork from trying to make all the spaetzle.

I have something similar to this thing.

With that I make spätzle quite often because it is fast enough to do it on a weeknight. I’ve seen people do it with a colander, but that seems a bit fiddly… And I don’t even want to imagine what you went through with the strainer.

Yeah… That would of made things so much easier. I used basically something like this a.co/d/dBsDis5

I imagine that must have taken ages to do.

Took about 2 hours just to make the spaetzle… I will say I took 3 10 minute breaks because of how sore my arm got. Bowl of batter, scoop 1-2 spoon fulls, then squeeze till no more came out. Had to be careful though, because by time about 3 squeezes worth were in the oil the first squeezer worth was already cooked so we then had to alternate squeezing and picking them out with a slotted spatula.

The recipe I found on the internet was for 10 servings but there was only 3 of us so we I told my girlfriend to cut it in half. Somehow there was a miscommunication and instead of halving it, she doubled it.

We both loved the final result but agreed to never make it again due to the effort it took.

Well if you have too much, spätzle freeze really well. Just throw them into boiling water for a few seconds to heat them up again.

if you run into the same problem again: use a soaking wet cutting board and knife. use the back of the knife to push single spaetzle over the board into hot water. dont forget to re-wet before putting the next load onto the board.

obviously the thing OP suggested is much better. but i am certain you make better progress than with a joucer.

Yes. Cutting the spätzle from a knife is the more traditionwl method. But it takes some practice.

Oh my goodness I would gobble that plate up. All things that I like. Spatzle with something saucy, a little veg to make it a balanced meal. 👌
