Hi everyone! I'm Binx, but my friends, like you, can call me Binxie! I love to cook, especially for my friends and my two Sirs. Every so often, I come across a great recipe from a book, magazine or online. I take it as is and then add my special Binxie magic to it. I love adding to things, or taking out things my Sirs don't like. There is no limit to the cuisine I like to cook, but my Sirs are Mexican, Chinese (Nathan), and Irish, German (Pappy). For them, I like finding recipes that bring them back to their roots. I get such good love after...but that's for another day ;) This first recipe I'm sharing with you is from Pappy's roots of Germany. I made some changes to the OG recipe, but I did add the link below if you'd like to follow it exactly. As always, substitutions are important. Not all of us can find all the ingredients at the spur of the moment. If you have something you can use instead, do it! It might not taste exactly the same, but with some love thrown in, it will be a gourmet feast! Duck (chicken is a fine substitute!) Spaetzle is available bags or boxes of dry at some stores, or use your favorite pasta in a pinch! Ingredients:
Spaetzle Recipe: Ingredients:
Binx (me) looked up a few recipes for this dish and added his own flavor to it. For the original recipe, go to: https://www.duckchar.com/blog/2024/4/13/german-inspired-braised-duck-legs-recipe-with-spaetzle-and-mushroom-ragout Note from Rain: I've made this several times, and adding garlic to the actual ragout made this over the top for me. Shallots are fine, but onions you already have is just as tasty. Not to mention, most stores that we frequent don't have duck or the original mushrooms called for in the recipe. What Binx does, as do I and most cooks I know, add their own flare and flavor to recipes. Try chicken and button mushrooms for a less expensive and just as good dinner!
