Mutterkern

Mutterkern is a traditional Swiss dish that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among vegetarians and vegans. The name "Mutterkern" translates to "mother's heart" in English, referring to the heart-shaped leaves of the spinach used in the dish. The dish is typically made with a base of spinach, which is sautéed with onions, garlic, and sometimes other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers. The spinach is then combined with a creamy sauce made from a mixture of milk, cream, and eggs, which gives the dish its distinctive texture and flavor. The sauce is often seasoned with nutmeg, salt, and pepper, and may include additional ingredients such as cheese or herbs. Mutterkern is often served as a side dish or as part of a larger meal, and can be enjoyed on its own or paired with other dishes such as roasted meats or grilled fish. The dish is a staple in Swiss cuisine and is often served at special occasions and family gatherings.
