Calories 39kcal

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the quinoa, flour, milk, eggs, garlic and a pinch of salt.
  • In a large pot over high heat, bring 1 gallon of salted water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Set a large-holed colander over, but not touching, the water. Working in small batches, push the quinoa dough through the holes of the colander with a rubber spatula. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the spätzle floats to the surface, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Transfer to a second colander and rinse with cool water. Repeat until the batter is used up. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the onions with 2 teaspoons salt and dress in the oil. Smoke in a smoker, according to the manufacturer’s directions. Alternatively, roast the onions in a 450°F oven until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Julienne and set aside.
  • In a large pan over high heat, sauté the spätzle in the butter until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the onions, grapes, hazelnuts and lamb’s quarters and sauté for 3 minutes. Season with verjus and salt and serve immediately.

Notes

[ultimate-nutrition-label id="" align=""]
Roasted Garlic
This recipe produces both roasted garlic and richly flavored garlic oil. If the dish you're making calls for pureed garlic, transfer the cloves to a food processor while still hot, which results in a very smooth puree. The leftover oil from this recipe is garlic infused and delicious.
1 cup garlic cloves, peeled
1 cup sunflower oil
In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the garlic and oil until the garlic turns golden and softens, about 25 minutes. Using a hand strainer, remove the garlic and strain the oil. Store the roasted garlic and the oil separately in airtight contains for up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
