Rotwein-Nudeln (Red Wine Pasta With Spring Onions)

Rotwein-Nudeln Mit Fruehlingszwiebeln, from a Betty Bossi cookbook (Switzerland). A Swiss friend prepared this for me when I was living overseas. It is a simple but tasty dish. The salt helps the pasta absorb the red wine color. I have translated the recipe from German so it may need some tweaking.

Smoked Salmon Spread With Pears and Horseradish

This is an Austrian version of a smoked salmon spread. Horseradish is very popular in Austria and is used in many dips and sauces. The salmon used in this dish is not Lox, this is slowly smoked Alaskan Sockey and is flaked rather than cut. Enjoy it with some crusty Ciabatta bread and a glass of fruity white wine.

Haselnuss Bällchen (Hazelnut Balls)

These light and airy balls of hazelnuts are just like the Ferrero Rocher chocolates but without the chocolate. I know that will offend some people – no chocolate, huh! These are good neverless.

Quark Spaetzle

This came from another website and I adapted it for my tastes. It is a great dish to serve along side bratwurst and cabbage salad or any number of other things 🙂 The farmer’s cheese I used is a mild semi-firm cheese (not the cottage cheesey type). You can substitute Gruyere or other similar Swiss type cheese. The spätzle can be made ahead through step 5 (boiling); refrigerate until ready to fry.
