A recipe from Niklas Rappold, head chef from Star

Niklas Rappold, the head chef at Star takes us into his hotel kitchen and prepares a vegetarian dish together with us. We learn all kinds of insights and experience how ingredients and fresh food can be turned into delicious dishes in no time at all. Most of the ingredients come from our own farm, such as the spelled flour.

In the star the principle "with Butz and Stingl”Lived what Tyrolean stands for even more regional, even fresher and completely happy. Niklas and his team therefore deliberately choose regional foods and suppliers in order to give the guests at the Stern a moment of pleasure for body and soul. Many of the ingredients come from our own fields or herb garden in order to keep distances as short as possible.

Today we cook with him "baked potato-spelled dumplings" on a braised cabbage nest, which is served with a beetroot salad (called a beetroot salad in the star) and a rocket pesto.

  • 10 ml of olive oil
  • salt and pepper

For the rocket pesto

  • 20 g rocket (about a handful)
  • 10 g grated mountain cheese
  • 10 ml of olive oil
  • Salt

Preparation:

1. For the pesto: Put all ingredients in a blender or stir with a hand blender and keep until the dish is served.

2. For the potato-spelled dumplings: Cook the potatoes with their skins on so that the starch and all the more flavor remain in the potatoes. Then peel it, let it cool down and then press it. It is advisable to cook the potatoes the day before, then it goes much faster on the day of serving.

3. To prepare the dumplings, put the following ingredients in a bowl: pressed potatoes, spelled flour, wheat semolina, liquid butter, eggs, nutmeg, salt and pepper and the herbs. Do not cut the latter too finely so that you can still see and, above all, taste it. Mix the ingredients well, best kneading with your hands; but not too firm, so that the starch doesn't come out of the potatoes. Make sure that the dough is kneaded evenly so that the same bond is created everywhere. Shape the dough into small dumplings, i.e. round balls 3 to 5 cm in diameter. The dumplings can be boiled or baked in hot sunflower oil (please do not use olive oil for this) in a saucepan until they are golden brown, which takes about 5 to 7 minutes. If you like, you can also use a deep fryer at 180 degrees.
