Method
2) Sift all the dry ingredients (sugar, salt, flour, cocoa powder, atomised chocolate) together into a large mixing bowl.
3) Make a well in the centre of the bowl. Stir the blended mixture into the dry ingredients. Let it rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
4) Press mixture through a spaetzle press into a large pot of boiling water. Cook for 1 minute after they float. Drain. Put into a large bowl and toss with a pinch of salt and enough olive oil just to coat.
5) Heat up a large griddle and coat with oil. Toss the cooked spaetzle onto the hot griddle with some drained macerated strawberries. Cook until the spaetzle has crisped up a bit.
6) Top with chocolate meringue, and strawberry sorbet.
