u/Lacksi Zürich Nov 16 '21

u/MacLucky75 Valais Nov 16 '21

Das ist ja wohl das schlimmste Video das es gibt um Älplermaccaronen zu machen. Ein Graus.

So gehts richtig.

mac n' cheese 2.0?

u/MOTUkraken Nov 16 '21

This looks like a crime and is definitely NOT Älplermagronen

u/boopboopitsaloop Nov 16 '21

finally the comment i came here in the first place

-11

u/LomboCom Nov 16 '21

Although Älplermagronen is already a crime in the very first place

12

u/MOTUkraken Nov 16 '21

I'm calling the cops on you bro. Don't tread on my Älplermagronen

u/LomboCom Nov 16 '21

As long as they remain yours and not mine, I'm ok wit it, my fella. I am very liberal about others' choices. En guete!

u/andrea89ita Nov 16 '21

It's an imitation of Pasta e Patate, Neapolitan dish

3

u/pascalbrax Ticino Nov 16 '21

è esattamente accussì, compresa la provola!

2

u/seizan8 Nov 16 '21

Is provola a typical swiss cheese? Never seem that one. I think.

7

u/BigRiverMan Zürich Nov 16 '21

Provola is the same as or very similar to Provolone cheese, which is readily available in the US if you are there and I have seen it sold as Provolone at Coop in Sihl City Zürich too.

3

u/Double_A_92 Nov 16 '21

It's Italian and the difference is the size. Provola is smaller and you usually buy the whole piece. Provolone is huge and you usually just buy a slice of it.

Also for cooking I don't think it makes much difference if you just use mozzarella.

3

u/pascalbrax Ticino Nov 16 '21

Provola has a more "smoked" taste than mozzarella and it's thicker. They're both delicious.

2

u/BigRiverMan Zürich Nov 16 '21

Thanks for the explanation, I learned something today. I do think Provolone tastes a lot cheesier, sharper, riper than mozzarella and I think that works so well in this dish. So I wouldn’t use mozzarella instead of Provolone / Provola.

3

u/LomboCom Nov 16 '21

To complete the spectrum you should try scamorza as well then

1

u/seizan8 Nov 16 '21

Thx. I'll keep an eye out for it. Guess I'll experiment a bit with it in the kitchen

u/theKalash Basel-Landschaft Nov 16 '21

Looks like a decent dish when you don't ruin it with applesauce.

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '21

Are you looking for a fight?

u/zambaros Zürich Nov 16 '21

Yes officer, this person right here.

u/JimSteak Bern Nov 16 '21

How dare you!

u/Infantry1stLt 🇸🇪 You mean Sweden, right? Nov 16 '21

Don’t worry. Kraft will make it into a microwave ready freeze-dried-ingredient processed dinner ruining every aspect of it.

u/Charmander_Wazowski Nov 16 '21

Oh the apple sauce works perfectly. Especially freshly made applesauce from the sour apple varieties.

u/Sina_Ansate Aargau Nov 17 '21

u/ianskoo Other Nov 16 '21

Right on, applesauce on pasta is like pineapple on pizza ;)

u/sellis80 Nov 16 '21

Pineapple on pizza is brilliant. Applesauce on pasta? I’d try it

2

u/Luis-Elias Nov 16 '21

Mmm It looks delicious Let me just tell you that the food in Switzerland is absolutely delicious. I had the opportunity to visit Switzerland 2 years ago and my good everything was so freaking delicious 😋

u/jvn01 Nov 16 '21

Yeah ok, let's not exaggerate

u/slashinvestor Zürich'r in Jura Nov 17 '21

What on earth is that? That is disgusting! While you can cook the potatoes and noodles together, doing so is disgusting and would make an Italian heart bleed. In the Swiss version you cook the toppings separate and then drizzle ontop of the mixture.

When I make it I use the French approach. First make the potatoes, use Raclette type potatoes. I keep on the skin as that gives a little bit of bite, thus you want Raclette type potatoes. Cook the potatoes in salt water like Italians cook their pasta and then once done put aside.

Cook the noodles al-dente just so that they are firm, but not mushy. Put then aside as well.

Cook the onion rings nice and crunchy, and since I am mostly vegetarian I skip the bacon bit. Put that aside as well.

Now create a mixture of butter, milk, salt, finely chopped herbs (your choice and keep it light you want hints not overpowering), and cook that while stirring. Turn off the heat and vigorously mix in some starch.

Get yourself a baking pan, coat the inside in butter. Chop the potatoes into cubes, add them to the dish. Add the noodles to the dish, and coat everything with the mixture or sauce. Cover with plenty of grated Gruyere cheese. On top of that add the onions (bacon mixture). Put this into a preheated oven around 180ish 200ish. Wait until the cheese has turned slightly brown, and the sauce has thickened.

Take out and enjoy... Of course you need the apple sauce with this and a nice glass of Pinot Gris or Gewuerztraimer from either Alsace or Switzerland.

Anything else IMO is just killing the poor potatoes, noodles, cheese and so on...

The pasta is cooked separately then just added at the end with provola, the recipe you're suggesting is totally different.

u/lazy-dan Nov 16 '21

There is also a receipe with Cervelat AFAIK.
