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…
Pretzel Buns
Well, technically this is a recipe for soft pretzels. I got it from a friend of mine, eons ago. Ran into his recipe today and decided it was time to give them a try. They were a huge hit! But pretzels? I dunno. Pretzels are supposed to be crispy and crunchy to me—category potato chips. These weren’t. I guess that’s where the word ‘soft’ comes into play. The point is…
Hasselback – the sequel
Remember the first time I posted a recipe for Hasselback potatoes? Not having seen them before, I was pleasantly surprised: they looked gorgeous and were tasty to boot. And super simple. The crunchy exterior, the soft inside combined with the seasonings was great. I wanted to try my hand at a more deluxe version this time. So not only did I fill the slices, alternately, with bacon and tomato, seasoned…
Potato Curry Masala
Few things make me happier than eating potatoes. Maybe eating onions, my second major addiction. Or curry powder, my third addiction. I guess you could say that makes me prone to addiction (be quiet, Teri!). I held off on posting this (tweaked) Surinamese recipe for only one reason; I had no idea how to photograph it. Face it, esthetically it’s not one of my finer looking dishes. But what it…
Easy Parsley Potatoes
Slightly odd recipe. Well, maybe not ‘odd’, but the technique I’ve used differs from my other recipes. Yes, that’s the word; different. I had a bunch of flat-leaf parsley that still needed to be used up. I don’t like to throw away food so I figured I’d make something like parsley potatoes with it. Either that or add it to a soup/stew/chicken potpie. The first one usually means skillet-baked potatoes,…
Lemon Green Beans
Here’s a quick, fairly healthy but totally irresistible side dish for you, Lemon Green Beans, though the name doesn’t really cover the load. I found this recipe about two years ago, in an ancient Italian cook book, one I took with from home with me when I moved into my 1st apartment. The original recipe only had the lemon, garlic and oil in it. Suffice to say I tweaked it…
