In this Three Kitchens episode, we're recognizing Oktoberfest with a traditional Bavarian dish - jägerspätzle!
Oktoberfest is the world's largest folk festival featuring a beer gardens and a travelling carnival. It is held annually in Munich, Bavaria, running from mid- or late-September to around the first Sunday in October. Beer and a party? Sign us up!
Spätzle are small dumplings made from flour, eggs and milk. And calling it Jägerspätzle means it is served with a delicious rich mushroom gravy.
This was Heather's first time making spätzle and she found there's a trick to it, if you don't happen to have a handy modern spätzle maker. While the traditional method seems tricky at first, she assures us we'll all get the hang of it. It takes some time at the stove, but the good thing is you can make these little dumplings in advance and reheat before serving.
The mushroom gravy is super simply to make and we think added a whole lot of flavour to the blank canvas that is spätzle.
