Instructions

  1. Cook the spaetzle in plenty of salted water according to the instructions on the package. Meanwhile, clean the leek, wash it thoroughly and cut it into fine rings. Clean the mushrooms. Quarter the chanterelles and slice the mushrooms.
  2. Heat the sunflower oil in a large pan and fry the leeks and mushrooms over a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Deglaze with the water and simmer until about two thirds of the liquid has evaporated. Add the spaetzle and mix well with the vegetables.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
