Instructions

  1. Steam the onion in butter until translucent. Add the finely sliced cucumber slices and sauté briefly. Dust the flour over it, stir well and deglaze with water. Season with salt and pepper. On low heat for about 10 minutes. Simmer.
  2. In the meantime, cook the spaetzle. Mix the flour, eggs, butter, salt and water into a spaetzle dough. Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Press the spaetzle dough into the press / slicer (of course, they are traditionally made on the spaetzle board). As soon as they swim up, remove the spaetzle with the skimmer. Briefly pull through hot water again and drain well into a bowl.
  3. Finally add the herb vinegar, sour cream and dill to the sauce. Pour the sauce over the hot spaetzle.
  4. Tip: you can also use zucchini instead of the cucumber!

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.
