👨🍳 Instruktioner
- 1
Prepare the Spätzli dough: Whisk together flour, eggs, milk, salt, and nutmeg until smooth. Stir in grated Gruyère and diced speck.
- 2
Sauté the diced speck in butter until lightly browned. Drain excess fat.
- 3
Blanch the chard leaves in boiling water for about 1 minute until pliable. Immediately plunge into ice water, then pat dry. Trim any tough parts of the stem.
- 4
Lay a chard leaf flat. Place a tablespoon of Spätzli dough near the stem end. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the stem end.
- 5
Repeat with remaining chard leaves and dough. Secure with kitchen twine if needed.
- 6
In a large pot, bring the broth or water to a simmer. Gently place the Capuns into the liquid.
- 7
Simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until the Spätzli dough is cooked through. Turn occasionally.
- 8
Remove Capuns from the liquid, discard twine, and serve hot, optionally with a drizzle of melted butter or a light sauce.
💡 Proffstips
- ✓Ensure chard leaves are completely dry after blanching to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the pot when simmering.
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can add a bay leaf or a sprig of thyme to the simmering liquid.
