Recipe ideas for broccoli,cream of broccoli soup,& cheddar cheese?
I also have flour,butter and spices.
Answers:
Spaetzle:
1 cup All-purpose flour
? cup Milk
2 Eggs
1 pinch pepper
? t Salt
1 large potful of boiling water that has been salted
2 t Butter
Mix together the dry ingredients. Alternately add the beaten eggs and milk to make a smooth mixture. Continue working the dough, picking it up as you whisk to incorporate air into the mixture and make it a little bubbly. It should be a thick, "dropping" consistency.
Take a lump/tablespoonful or so, of the dough and rub it through your hands over the boiling water, so that it falls into the water in crumbly strings, like how you would rub your hands to get the extra dough off of them before you wash them). Repeat until all the dough is used up. Drop a few at time into the gently simmering liquid and cook for 5-8 minutes.
When the spaetzle rise to the surface of the boiling water, give them a gentle stir and cook for about 20 seconds more, then drain briefly in a clean colander before tossing with butter, salt, and pepper. You can saute these in a little butter.
Sauce:
steam broocoli until tender, then add soup, undiluted or use only a half a can of milk or water, season with pepper and salt and garlic, and simmer together a few minutes, put spaetzle on a plate, ladle on some of the broccoli sauce and top with some of the cheese (grated), or add some cheese to the sauce and after it melts into the sauce, ladle onto spaetzle, or serve the cheese on the side with bread or crackers.
