Käsknöpfle is a beloved dish in Liechtenstein, traditionally made with egg noodles and cheese. This vegan version captures the essence of the original while using plant-based ingredients. Here’s how to make delicious vegan Käsknöpfle inspired by Liechtenstein's culinary traditions.
Ingredients
For the Noodles:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or spelt flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (for color)
- 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Vegan Cheese Sauce:
- 1 cup cashews (soaked in water for at least 2 hours)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water (as needed for consistency)
For Toppings:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and turmeric. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into small squares or use a knife to create small dumplings.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water gradually until you reach a creamy consistency.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles with the vegan cheese sauce, mixing well to coat the noodles evenly.
- Serve the Käsknöpfle topped with the caramelized onions and garnish with fresh chives or parsley.
This vegan Käsknöpfle is a comforting and hearty dish that pays homage to Liechtenstein's culinary heritage.
