Cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 45 minutes. Stir in sour
cream and heat to serving temperature. Serve with Spaetzle or noodles.
SPAETZLE: Mix eggs, salt and flour together to form a fairly stiff dough.
Pat out into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick on a damp breadboard. With
a damp table knife, cut into strips 1 inch wide. Cut or pinch off 1 inch
pieces and drop into a kettle of boiling, salted water. When the dough
omes to the surface, they are done. Drain in a colander and quickly turn

toss lightly and serve with any sauced meat dish.
