Coq au Riesling

↓Deutsch I think chicken in a wine sauce is available in all European countries where wine is grown. Let's start in Germany with the Woihinkelsche. This is traditionally cooked either in Pinot Noir or Riesling. In France there is also the classic variant in Burgundy or in Alsace with Riesling. In Italy there are tons of recipes based on white and red wine, such as the pollo in pottacchio or alla cacciatora, mostly in a tomato wine sauce. In...

Breaded fish fillet with Frankfurt green sauce – Paniertes Fischfilet mit Frankfurter grüner Sauce

↓Deutsch This is an old traditional dish from the Rhine-Main area, especially during Lent. Back then, however, cooked klipfish (salted and dried cod) was used. Fortunately, there's now a functioning cold chain from the deep-sea fishing boat to the supermarket, and no one is dependent on stockfish anymore. Unfortunately, I experienced this as a child with "fresh" cod (which was already very fishy), and so I can generally do without cooked fish...

Carrot mash with bratwurst and caramelized onions – Möhrendurcheinander mit Bratwurst und karamellisierten Zwiebeln

↓Deutsch In contrast to the carrot mash with pork belly, a different approach was taken here. Since the recipe calls for plenty of fried onions as a topping for the carrot mash, the onions were omitted from the carrot mash. The meat part was replaced with bratwurst instead of pork belly or black pudding. 2 servings Ingredients: 400 g carrots, roughly diced 100 g potatoes, roughly diced 250 ml beef broth salt pepper 1 tbsp marjoram 5 juniper...

Steak bites in red wine and caramelized onions – Steak bites in Rotwein und karamellisierten Zwiebeln

↓Deutsch Steak bites have one advantage over whole-cooked steaks, and that's their larger surface area. Seared very briefly and very hot on all sides, they stay pink inside and are nicely seared all over. I then kept them warm in the oven at 50°C/122°F while I made the gravy. I stuck to a classic gravy without any strong aromatic spices so as not to overpower the beef flavor. I added just 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon to enhance the mild...

Spaghetti alla puttanesca

↓Deutsch The origin of the name is unclear. After an anecdotal under various statements it should go back to the fact that prostitutes the dish could simply prepare quick between visits of their suitors. Another one is related to that Italian brothels in the 1950s were ‚casa chiuse‘ closed houses and the prostitutes they were allowed to leave only once a week for shopping. The dish was therefore emerged from the tougher residues in the...

Zucchini soup – Zucchinisuppe

↓Deutsch I developed this recipe about 20 years ago, when my mother-in-law was practically bombarding us with zucchini every summer. I actually don't like zucchini; I just miss the distinctive flavor. However, the soup really appreciates strong spices, and I like zucchini that way, too. 2 servings Ingredients: 500 g zucchini 2 medium-sized potatoes 300 ml vegetable stock salt pepper hot paprika 1 garlic clove 5 juniper berries 1 teaspoon...

Plum cake – Zwetschgenkuchen

↓Deutsch This is one of countless sheet cakes that are baked throughout the summer with alternating, just ripe fruits. The best known are apple and plum cakes, but also the crumble cake, whether dry or with a fruit stuffing, is one of them. The basis is usually a simple yeast dough, but it also works with a sponge cake dough. Since the fruit topping is also baked, only firm types of fruit such as the various types of plums or apples and pears...

Potato soup – Kartoffelsuppe

↓Deutsch A new recipe for an old idea. Potato soup is probably as old as there are potatoes in Germany. At first it was an ornamental plant and the above-ground part was thought to be poisonous, which is true for the Solanine alkaloid. Nobody knows if the legend is true, that Friedrich II. the Great let grow potatoes, and then watched by soldiers who had eagerly looked in the other direction when the surrounding peasants had stolen the...

Plaice Finkenwerder style – Scholle Finkenwerder Art

↓Deutsch This is a traditional preparation with a long history and was named after the district of Hamburg, Finkenwerder. There are two types of the preparation. In one, the meat is removed with a knife from the bones, stuffed with bacon or ham cubes and then cooked in the oven. With the other method the fish is fried in the pan and covered with Nort Sea shrimp and bacon cubes. The shrimp actually don't belong in the dish according to the...

Oxmouth Salad – Ochsenmaulsalat

↓Deutsch Ox mouth salad is a specialty that is mainly found in southern Germany and formerly in Southern Hesse. At least I know it from the late 1950s/early 1960s, when there were still butchers in Hesse and not just meat departments in supermarkets. Back then, the butchers who did the slaughtering did it themselves. In the meantime, the company Römmele Spezialitäten GmbH & Co.KG has specialized in it and supplies canned goods...
