Slow Cooked Apricot Ribs
One of the perks of being a food blogger are the recipes I receive either as comments or in my inbox. It’s something I’m extremely grateful for—people willing to share their family recipes and taking the time to write them down—because many of the dishes I’ve tried and tweaked over the years come from either friends or readers. This basic recipe was emailed to me not long after I posted…
Babi Ketjap
Babi Ketjap (kecap) is a typically Indonesian dish: pork simmered in a sweet soy sauce. You can cook this with various types of pork. Whatever you have in your freezer is fair game: pork belly, pork legs, pork steaks. Choices, choices! This recipe belongs to my grandma. Back in those days it was hard (at least in the Netherlands) to get your hands on ingredients like fresh ginger, that’s one…
Meatballs in Mushroom Sauce
I’m a little late to the party, I know, but Happy New Year, everyone! We had a wonderful holiday and spent Christmas and New Years Eve with tons of family and friends. We had a, get this, Christmas BBQ! Which is crazy with our Dutch winters, but it was seven kinds of awesome. Why didn’t I think of it sooner?! I also did what few other bloggers do during December;…
Another Lazy Sunday Casserole
I made a simpler, faster and just as tasty a version of my Lazy Sunday Casserole. If you’re into easy, rustic dinners with maximum flavour… this one’s for you! I combined all my favourite ingredients—potatoes, sausages, carrots and onions—and flavours (ranch and jalapeños) and put them in one big ole casserole. Prepping this baby is so easy, and the oven does all the work. What more could a girl (or…
Babi Pangang
The first thing that came to mind after tasting my five-spice blend was: Babi Pangang. Babi means pig and Pangang (Panggang) means roasted. Roasted pig, it’s a #1 dish served in many of our Chinese-Indonesian restaurants. There’s one tiny problem though: what meat and cooking technique to use. It varies. Some go for slow roasted pork belly (this is the more common way) while others stick to pork steaks and…
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…
