Actually, it’s nearer than you might think – more precisely, it’s right next to the most beautiful hiking trails of the Paznaun region. As part of the Culinary Way of St. James, award-winning chefs present their finest creations at the mountain huts of the region. In doing so, they combine alpine traditions with state-of-the-art cuisine and sophisticated dishes with down-to-earth ingredients.
Ingredients for the pasta:
300g wheat-semolina flour
10 egg yolk
1 pinch salt
Ingredients for the cabbage:
600g cabbage
2 onions
40g sugar
70ml apple-vinegar
140ml dry white wine
1 pinch caraway
280ml beef consommé
70g butter
salt/pepper
1 tablespoon chives
Ingredients for the mountain cheese foam:
400ml milk
400ml cream
1 shallot
10ml oil
125g „paznauner mountain cheese” – 6 months old
salt/pepper
200g thin chopped, lightly smoked venison ham
The pasta dough:
Place egg yolks in a bowl of a food processor. Add slowly the wheat semolina. After that add salt and knead it, with a hook into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
After resting, roll out the dough with a pasta machine (or a rolling pin) to a thickness of 2mm and cut into square shapes with a pastry wheel.
The cabbage:
For the cabbage, first cut the onion into fine cubes and cut the cabbage into squares (same size as the pasta dough). Then caramelize the sugar in a pan. Add the onions and the cabbage. Then deglaze with apple cider vinegar and white wine. Now add the butter and cumin, fill up with beef consommé and simmer it gently for 10 minutes. As soon as a creamy consistency results, the cabbage is ready.
Boil the pasta in well-salted water until al dente (2-3 minutes). Then mix the cooked pasta into the cabbage and add the finely chopped chives underneath.
Mountain-cheese foam:
Cut the shallot in small cubes and sauté in oil. Add the cream and milk. Bring the cream-milk mixture to boil. Mix the mountain cheese with salt and pepper into the cream-milk texture. Then strain it through a fine sieve.
Serve the finished pasta with cabbage on a plate. If desired, place the thin venison ham on top and pour the foamed mountain cheese foam over it.
TIP – your choice:
The dish can be garnished with halved cherry tomatoes or paprika powder as desired.
