Keep adding your flour little by little until you get a firm and elastic dough.

Fry the spatzle in a skillet or wok pan until nicely golden brown and season with salt and pepper as desired.

Clean the Brussels sprouts and put a cross at the bottom (evenly cooking). Blanch the Brussels sprouts al dente.

Fry the bacon in a skilet at 220C°.

Add the Brussels sprouts along with a knob of butter and season to your liking with salt and pepper.

Brush the chanterelles clean and fry them in a skilet with some oil and season with salt and pepper. (add a little garlic if necessary).

Remove the skin and excess fat.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill on The Bastard cast iron grill on direct fire (i.e. without plate settter/heat shield) at 225C°

Then place on the plate setter and continue cooking at 110C° to a core temperature of 50C° and let rest under foil.

Dress the spatzle on a nice plate or board of your choice, spoon the Brussels sprouts against it and also place the venison on top along with the chanterelles.
