Pork and spaetzel

[Tinnmel]

The other night I did up a pork loin roast in my SRG.  Seasoned with Penzey's Bavarian seasoning.  I checked it and it was 128^o.  Almost there.  I went in to get my spaetzel into the saute pan and lost track of time.  Went back out and IT was 155^o.  Noooo!  It was still good, just not what I wanted.  I wanted to pull it at 140^o.  Oh well, here it's plated with the spaetzel and a pretzel roll.  And if I was making pretzel rolls, I might as well make some pretzels for a night time snack.

Neat thing about infrared it's very forgiving.  I can carry a yardbird to 180 and still be juicy!    Your plate looks good and love the spaetzel  got a recipe??

1 cup flour
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch of pepper

Mix together to form a thick batter.  Drop into boiling water for about 8 min.  You can drop them a couple of ways.  Put the batter on a cutting board and scrape slices off the board.  Press the batter through a spaetzle maker.  Or what I do, put the batter in a large hole colander and mash the batter through the holes.  Drain the noodles.  You can serve as is or better, saute in some butter.  Can be served plain, but I prefer gravy on it.

Here's the colander I use.

What a great meal!  How is that Penzey's Bavarian seasoning?  I have not tried that one.

Pam - for the pretzels I use the recipe found here  http://www.theoktoberfest.com/HTML/pretzel/index.html 

To make the roll, I just form the dough into a ball squashed a bit.  After the baking soda bath, make a slice across top both ways.  I don't salt the rolls. 

I only used salt on the pretzels this time, but I have used cinnamon sugar before with great results.
