Lemongrass Ginger Marinade
With the hot weather we’ve had here (up until today), I tried to come up with a new marinade for our steak skewers. One that is loosely based on the well-known Vietnamese lemongrass marinade that I love so much. The authentic recipe is very basic and straightforward, not to mention high on garlic. I wanted to tone the garlic down and put a little spring into it, and some heat….
Coleslaw
There are umpteen coleslaw recipes spread across the world, and you have 534672 different ways to go about making it. Here’s just one of them. And the story behind it. For a short period (I guess we’re just not that glamorous) we had a Planet Hollywood restaurant in Amsterdam. They served these immense (and overpriced) burgers there with some of the best coleslaw on the side I had ever tasted….
Seriously Seasoned Slavinken
Here’s one for your recipe box! Slavinken. Oh boy, I’d pay good money to hear some of you trying to pronounce that right, that’s for sure! What are they? They’re a typically Dutch dish: seasoned meat patties (beef and pork) wrapped in bacon. Usually they’re browned in butter. Lots and lots of butter. Because I’m kind of attached to my arteries, and because I like a smokey flavor, I slap…
Mountain Meatballs
I’ve been on a meatball binge all week, no idea why. Must be hormonal. Now, don’t give me that look… there are worse things to binge on! I’m Dutch… trust me, there are far worse things. I just couldn’t resist this divine meatball recipe I saw in ‘Jamie’s America‘ cookbook. I tweaked the heck out of it, though. The weather’s been fantastic here, finally it’s spring, so we fired up…
Moroccan-Style Pork Kabobs
And then it happened; I seriously craved pork. And kabobs, especially those with a warm, oriental flavor. Add some fruit and red onion, delicious. You’d be hard-pressed to find pork in Moroccan cuisine, so obviously you can make this with lamb or chicken as well. Pork, kinda like lamb, is irresistible when seeped in fragrant spices such as cinnamon, caraway and cardamom. Peaches aren’t in season, so I just opened…
One-Pot Sausage Stew
Here’s one for when you get tired of my other sausage recipes (Lazy Sunday casserole or beef sausages & balsamic tomatoes). It’s every bit as good. Nothing fancy or extravagant: just a fast one-pot sausage stew that is perfect for a weeknight dinner and a breeze when you plan ahead. I used my Big Green Egg for it because I wanted to give it a hint of that wonderful smokey…
