Witch’s Cheese
I’d never even heard of Witch’s cheese until someone asked me about the recipe. I googled it and quickly found it’s a typically Dutch (Twents) dip that’s used as crostini topping, sauce for pork chops, cheese spread, a vegetable dip and even dressing. Pretty versatile. Went to the store and there it was: Zuivelhoeve Heks’nkaas. Tasted it and in all honesty… wasn’t too crazy about it. To me it has…
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…
Bacon, Sprouts & Apple Mash
One of the things I absolutely love about my new iPhone is the insane amount of recipe apps you can download for it. I’ve tried a few dutch apps, and in one of them I found this jewel of a recipe. Keep in mind that the Dutch are known for mashing the heck out of pretty much everything. This recipe is not going to convert a convinced sprouts hater, but it’s…
Braised Red Cabbage (with apples)
Someone mentioned wanting my red cabbage recipe when I posted my hachee. Now, those two dishes go hand in hand as far as I’m concerned. I actually did a Dutch red cabbage recipe for a guest posting as well a few years ago. It would be a venial sin to let this recipe go to waste somewhere in the land of unpublished recipes. I tried to find the old posting but…
Hachee
More Dutch food that you won’t find in many restaurants! This here is a typical Dutch winter stew. Kinda like the Dutch version of Boeuf Bourguignon. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a Dutchman who didn’t grow up on hachee in some way. Mainly family recipes. Nowadays it’s near impossible to miss the scent coming from kitchens all over town when walking down the streets of Gouda. My…
Hutspot
Once autumn sets in I start craving Dutch food. Dutch food is no spectacular food, not by a long shot; it’s honest, simple, wholesome, hearty and filling food. Hutspot is one of those dishes I keep craving over and over again. The combination of potatoes, carrots and onions all mashed up, piled high upon a plate and generously drizzled with thick gravy has something so enticing to me. Maybe because…
