Deutsch A hearty but refined dish. There is no claim that a scrambled egg is actually a simple thing. The change between raw and dry egg is sometimes a matter of seconds and just make the point in between, is the great art. The dish is found in almost all of Hesse and adjacent areas (partially former Hessian or Nassau […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch This is also an old Hessian meal and, so to speak, the slaughter plate of the little man. At times, when home slaughtering was still common, the noble parts such as pork tenderloin, pork loin, the neck, etc. were sold to the noblesse in place like pastor and mayor. For the poor farmer only pigtail, head and feet were […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch This is a very old recipe from the Rheingau, recognizable by the fact that the ingredients are all cut bite-sized. The origin is probably still before the 30 Years War, since at that time much more meat was eaten than afterwards. These is mainly pork from self-bred pigs. Beef and game were reserved for the nobility. While eating, the […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch A whole cured beef tongue is too much for us two people, so it is divided into three parts. The first third turns into tongue in port wine or Madeira sauce, the second third into tongue in horseradish sauce and the last third turns into cold cuts. During the week I don’t drive no special effort, just a bright […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch Because you can buy on every corner ready grilled chicken now, it’s a bit out of fashion to make it at home. So why should I do the effort? Because the barbecue seasoning doesn’t tastes me and because I’d rather have my food glutamate free! And what is even important, through my grilling time the chicken breast is still […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch This recipe is sometimes referred as ham noodles. But these are completely cooked in the pan and certainly without cheese. This is a noodle casserole with ham, a royal (cream and egg) and baked with cheese. Unfortunately, I made the mistake and added tomatoes. Thus, the tomato water prevented the royal could stock. Next time, I add the tomatoes […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch Sauerkraut plates are well known in many variants in Germany and Alsace. The sauerkraut is cooked with lard, sometimes with white wine and/or garlic and often with bacon. And yes, Alsace is now a part of France, this is true, but in earlier times this was a part of the German Empire until the time of the ThirtyYears‘ War from […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch Pasta al arrabiata is one of the countless tomato sauces available alongside Napoletana. How the name implies, furious means it is hot. What I did not know until June 2019 is that it does not use pancetta but guanciale (air dried pork cheek). I use Italian canned tomatoes as a basis and like one fresh tomato. For the (light) […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch It goes again to the autumn and autumn is known as stew time. What we had long ago, was a chicken soup or stew. As described in the previous post, we have a lot of chicken stock and, inevitably, chicken meat. Half of a huge greens was overcooked to the taste of the broth, the other half came cut […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch I had cooked this after a visit to the Kleinmarkthalle 2003 from a chicken breast with bones and fresh porcini mushrooms and should actually be repeated from time to time. Somehow that never worked. Either there was no chicken breast with bones (from which I used to cook a broth for the sauce) or there were no porcini mushrooms […]
