Ingredients
 

  • 2 Duck breast fillets
  • 300 g Brussels sprouts
  • 2 tbsp Diced Kat ham
  • 80 g Butter
  • Salt pepper
  • 500 ml Mulled wine
  • 300 ml Poultry stock
  • 3 Shallots
  • 200 g Speculaas
  • 150 g Flour
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 40 ml Carbonated water
  • 0,5 tsp Cinammon

Instructions
 

  • 1st spaetzle: finely grind the speculoos, beat the eggs with sugar, cinnamon and salt, add the sifted flour, water and speculoos, stir well and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Mulled wine sauce: sauté diced shallots in 25 g butter until translucent, then add the stock and mulled wine (bought ready-made or homemade) and reduce to approx. 250 ml. The onions alone thicken the sauce. If not, just stir in some starch and add it.
  • Wash the duck breast, pat dry, season with salt and pepper. Sear on the skin side without fat for approx. 8 minutes. Another 5 minutes on the meat side, then put in the oven for approx. 10 minutes at 100 C. The cooking times vary depending on the size of the duck breast !!!
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts in salted water, drain. Leave the ham in 25 g butter and pour over the Brussels sprouts.
  • Bring the salt water to the boil and scrape in the spaetzle or press it through a press. When they are ready, add 30 grams of butter to the pan and toss the spaetzle in it.
