Description

This hearty meat stew is a true classic of Swabian cuisine! With tender beef, homemade spätzle and fresh potatoes, it is the perfect dish for cold days. I especially like to cook it in autumn and winter, when you need something warming and hearty. The preparation takes a little time, but the effort is definitely worth it. The stew tastes especially delicious when it has been infused for a day. An absolute must for all lovers of traditional cuisine!

Cook spätzle

Press the spätzle dough in portions through a spätzle press into boiling salted water. When the spätzle rise to the surface, scoop them out with a slotted spoon and rinse in cold water.

Cook potatoes

Peel 1 kg of potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces and cook in a separate pot for about 20 minutes until they are cooked. Then drain.

Sauté onions

Cut a large onion into small pieces. Heat 40g butter in a pan and sauté the onions in it until light brown.

Prepare meat

Remove the shanks from the broth and let them cool slightly. Separate the meat from the bone and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Refine broth

Pass the broth through a sieve. Press the bone marrow through the sieve into the broth. Put the clear broth back into the pot and season with salt, nutmeg and pepper.
