Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 pound, sliced Cremini mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Dried dill
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh parsley
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for spaetzle dough)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for tossing spaetzle)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Stir in the paprika, dried dill, and soy sauce. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with 2 tablespoons of flour to form a paste. Slowly stir this mixture into the skillet, ensuring no lumps form.

Step 6

Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with 0.5 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Keep warm on low heat.

Step 7

To make the spaetzle, combine 2 cups of flour, 4 large eggs, 0.5 cup of milk, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth; the batter should be thick but pourable.

Step 8

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the batter into the boiling water. Work in batches if necessary.

Step 9

Cook the spaetzle for 1-2 minutes. Once the pieces float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.

Step 10

Toss the cooked spaetzle with 2 tablespoons of butter to prevent sticking.

Step 11

To serve, spoon the Hungarian mushroom sauce over a generous portion of spaetzle. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
