Schupfnudeln - Autumn Soulfood

October 25th, 2018 | main dishes

“Schupfnudeln” is a typical German dish. We talk about fingershaped dumplings made of potoatoes. This recipe combines these dumplings with minced meat and apples – very simple. But often the simple dishes are the most popular ones. Especially with children. Same with our stir-fried Schupfnudeln with apples. Our son and daughter have been crazy about this dish since childhood. Apple and horseradish anyhow are a perfect pair, endive salad as a vegetable and a quick horseradish dip provide the freshness kick.

Important in the preparation is to fry the apples for a very short time at the end, otherwise they will fall apart. Then, it still tastes good, but it does not look that nice anymore.

Stir-fried Schupfnudeln with apple and minced meat

(serves 4)

3 ts grated horseradish (fresh or out of the glass)
200 g sour cream
salt, pepper from the mill
½ ts sugar
1 ts lemon juice
stir to a dip, season with lemon juice
400 g organic ground beef
3 TS cooking oil
fry the meat in the hot oil
2 onions, chopped
add the onions, fry in about 8-10 minutes until crumbly, spice with salt and pepper
100 ml meat stock (preferably homemade)
deglaze the meat with the broth, keep warm
750 g “Schupfnudeln” fresh potato noodles (homemade or from the cooling counter)
3 TS butter
fry the potato noodles in the butter until golden brown
2 red-skinned apples
cut unpeeled into thin slices and add to the noodles, fry
½ head of endive salad (alternatively romaine lettuce)
cut into fine strips
mix the meat with the dumplings, apples and salad and serve with the horseradish dip

Risotto with saffron, almonds and crispy chorizo November 4th, 2018 | side dishes

Saffron – it’ gold among the spices

We are fortunate that our captain brings, for example, saffron and vanilla directly from the markets in the Caribbean or the “spice souk” in Dubai . This is admittedly the reason why we sometimes use exquisite and expensive spices in a quite lavish way. Anyway, our saffron almond risotto with chorizo certainly succeeds with less than two cans of saffron.

L’Édition musique N°3 – Geldermann and Cornelia Poletto bring food and music together

Sparkling wine and an exquisite flying buffet go together, that’s obvious. But classical music and electronic sounds? The Geldermann private sparkling wine cellar shows with its extraordinary art project, the Édition Musique, that this is very possible. “Sparkling Keys” is a tribute to a special cuvée, composed and arranged by two internationally acclaimed artists, pianist Joseph Moog and sound designer Kris Menace. Excellent finger food by Cornelia Poletto uniquely rounds off the evening in the Hamburg Jazz Hall.

Asparagus salad with snow peas and orange dressing

Finally spring. Finally asparagus time. Actually, asparagus is a light spring vegetable, BUT what happens when it is eaten with hollandaise sauce, potatoes and ham? Well, my recipe for an asparagus salad with snow peas and orange dressing is much lighter.
