GERMAN POTATO SALAD

TEXAS STYLE !

BY SKIP MORRISON Although there are many excellent varieties of this “salad” there’s one that is especially good with our beloved BBQ briskets and sausages. Appropriately enough, it comes to us from the same German immigrants who pioneered the Central Texas style of BBQ we hold above all others. In this Kartoffelsalat, the potatoes get doused in a warm, tangy-sweet, vinegar-based dressing and tossed with chunks of crispy bacon, resulting in a pleasing side dish that both complements and stands up to any of your favorite smoked BBQ’ed meats. I found this recipe some time ago in the food section of Texas Monthly magazine which never disappoints when it comes to placing something good (with Texas authenticity) on the table.

Directions First mix for the short pastry flour, backing powder, 100 g (4 oz.) sugar, vanilla sugar, egg and cold butter (cut in pieces) with a mixer (use the dough hooks) after that use your hands to form a smooth dough. Cover and put into the fridge for about 30 minutes. In the meantime peel and core the apples and cut them into small cubes. Bring the apples together with 100 ml ( 2.7 fl. oz.) water, lemon juice, 75 g (3 oz.) sugar and cinnamon to the boil. Simmer covered for another 6-8 minutes then drain and let it cool. Pre-heat the fan-assisted oven up to 150 °C (302 °F). Roll around 3/4 of the pastry on a bit of flour to a round shape (Ø 34 cm/13.4 inch) and put it into a greased springform pan Ø 26 cm (10 inch) , by forming a rim of 4 cm/1.6 inch in height. Pierce several times with a fork and bake in the oven at the lowest shelf for about 12 minutes. Roll the remaining pastry on a bit of flour to a round shape (Ø 26 cm / 10 inch) and pierce several times with a fork. Remove the mould from the oven. Sprinkle breadcrumps over the baked pastry case and distribute the apples on it. Cover it with the round shape of pastry and press the cake edges carefully. Bake for another 45 to 50 minutes, on lowest shelf, at the same temperature. After that let the cake cool down. Stir the icing sugar with 3 tbsp water until smooth. Coat the pie with the topping and let it dry. Whipped cream tastes good with this pie.

“A friend of mine needed bread as a finger food accompaniment for a large number of people at her birthday barbecue. After the very first attempt, I, my friend, and her friends and family were so taken by this bread that they always ask for it when there’s a barbecue. In German it’s called “Zupfbrot” (“pick” or “pluck” bread) because the small pieces of bread are so easy to break off.” Dennis Eilers

Put water on to boil for the pasta, salting generously. When the water is boiling, cook the pasta in accordance with the cooking instructions. At the same time, start preparing the sauce: Peel and dice the onion, peel the garlic, wash and quarter the cocktail tomatoes. Serves

Serves

Fry the onion together with the prawns/shrimps in a frying pan until the onion is glassy. Add the cream and soft cheese and cook until most of the soft cheese has liquefied.

That’s it! For the calorie-conscious: Leave out some of the soft cheese and cream and use milk instead.

Directions Preheat the oven to 180 째C (356 째F) and line a baking tray with baking paper. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix the buttermilk and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir the soft butter with the sugar for about 3 minutes until creamy, then add the egg and stir in well. Next, gradually combine the buttermilk / vanilla extract mixture with the flour. Using a dessert/tablespoon, place 6 equally sized heaps of the cake mixture onto the baking tray, leaving sufficient space between them to allow for spread. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-17 minutes; they should have a golden brown color. When pressed, they should be firm in the middle. Take care that the bottom does not become too dark. Take out of the oven and place on a cake rack to cool. To make the glaze, first mix the icing sugar with the 1 tbsp of milk, the lemon juice and the vanilla extract. If the consistency is still too firm, add a little more milk. The mixture should, however, be fairly thick and not too runny. Now divide this into two halves and add the cocoa to one half after first mixing it with 1-2 tbsp of milk. This should also not be runny. Now decorate the top of each Amerikaner, applying dark glaze to one half and white glaze to the other. I always use a dough scraper for smoothing the glaze. Then leave to set. I prefer my Amerikaners in large size, so for me, the mix only produces about 6. However, it is equally possible to make them smaller.

Vegetables Provençale Style Ingredients • • • • • • • • • • •

Olive oil 2 large onions 1 chili (or more….) 3 eggplants Dried herbs (e.g. thyme), Salt 3 peppers (red, green, yellow), 3 zucchinis 5 large beef tomatoes (if no aromatic tomatoes are available, it is better to use canned ones) Tomato paste Grated garlic (3 cloves or more), Capers Fresh herbs (e.g. rosemary and basil) Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Be careful not to cut the vegetables too small. Put the olive oil and diced onions into a sufficiently large cold pan and then fry the onions on a medium heat until glassy. Add the finely chopped chili, diced eggplants and dried herbs, cook gently for 10 minutes with the lid on, season with salt, add the diced peppers, cook gently for a further 10 minutes with the lid on, and then add the diced zucchini and cook gently for 7 minutes with the lid on. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, freshly grated garlic and capers, and cook for a further 7 minutes, but this time with the lid off. Check that everything is cooked (the vegetables should be soft, but still firm to the bite). Turn off the heat. Finally, add the fresh herbs and black pepper, and stir in. Can be ideally accompanied by bread and red wine. In the case of any leftovers, place them on shallow ovenproof dishes, sprinkle sheep’s cheese or lay mozzarella on top and bake in the oven. 66

Directions For the pastry base, form the flour, butter - cut into small pieces -, sugar and salt into a mound on the worktop. Break an egg into the middle and then, using your hands, rapidly knead into a short pastry dough. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. In the meantime, clean and prepare the blueberries for the filling. Mix the quark, cream cheese, eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice, flour, sugar and vanilla sugar together to produce a smooth creamy mixture. Preheat the oven to 200 °C/392 °F. Roll out the pastry and line a greased tart mold (diameter approx. 30 cm or 12 inches) with it. The pastry should run up the sides of the mold for at least 2 cm (approx. 1 inch). Prick the pastry with a fork in several places. Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes at 200 °C/392 °F). Take out of the oven and leave to cool slightly. Pour in the quark cream and smooth the surface. Arrange the berries on top. Bake the cake for 15 minutes at 200 °C (392 °F), then reduce the heat and bake for a further 50 minutes at 100 °C (212 °F). After the cake has cooled, dust with icing sugar. Also tastes delicious when still lukewarm.

Westphalian Curly Kale Directions Serves

Serves

Place a large cooking pot on the hob and heat clarified butter in it. Briefly fry the diced onions in the butter, then also add the diced bacon and continue to fry for a short time. Pour in 1/3 of the stock; then put in the kale, but do not stir; put the lid on the pot and simmer on a medium heat for 10-15 minutes. When the kale has shrunk in volume or thawed, add the spices and mustard, and stir. Portionen Portionen

Prick the sausages with a fork or sharp-pointed knife on all sides and arrange on the kale. Serves

Serves

Cook for 45 minutes on a low heat with the lid on, when necessary add a little stock. Now put in the Kassler or other meat or chops and turn off the heat. If using an electric hob, leave the pot on the hotplate.

Kale tastes best if left to stand overnight without heat but in the closed pot (wrapped up to keep it Portionen Portionen

warm); but if not overnight, it should stand for at least a few hours to give the flavor of the sausages and kale time to fully develop.

Serves

The kale can then be reheated, ready for eating; to prevent burning, add a little stock, if necessary, but not too much - just enough to prevent burning. Avoid making it soupy; by the time it is served, the liquid should nearly all have boiled away.

Portionen

In the Portionen meantime, boil the potatoes in salted water until done, take the sausages and meat out of the pot, season the kale, if necessary, once more before serving, and thicken with the ground oats or potato purée powder. “This is a very tasty and healthy recipe that gives lots of energy for winter. The sausages and meat can be varied in line with personal and national preferences and the availability of suitable products on the market. The main thing in this recipe is the kale itself, but it is also important to choose a type of sausage that is reasonably fatty so as not to become too dry during the long cooking times. Originally, the potatoes were diced and added to the kale in the last phase of cooking; however, this is an ideal dish for freezing, so I prefer to cook the potatoes separately. After all, potatoes that have been thawed out and warmed up never taste as good as freshly cooked ones. Also, as a variation on day 2, potatoes left over from the day before can be fried and served with the kale.” Enjoy your meal! Günter Helmig

Quick and easy to prepare, this dish tastes equally good straight after cooking and also the next day.

Klaus Marien says “bon appétit”

Directions Cut off the peppers tops and remove the seed core. Save the top as a lid! Soak the bread roll in lukewarm milk for 10 minutes. Add the ground meat, diced onion, garlic, mustard, egg, herbs, chili or paprika powder, and season softly with salt and pepper. Mix. Then stuff the peppers with the mixture; if the mixture protrudes slightly from the peppers, all the better. If there is any of the ground meat mixture left, form into meatballs and cook them with the rest. Fry the diced onion in oil in a tallish saucepan until glassy. Then add the garlic, thyme, a pinch of sugar and the tomato paste, fry briefly with the onion, then pour in the stock. Season with salt and pepper, bring to the boil, and then, after replacing the tops/lids, place the peppers in the stock. Now place the saucepan in the oven for a good 30 minutes at 160 °C/320 °F (fan-assisted) to cook; alternatively, they can naturally also be cooked on the hob. This cooking time is only short so the peppers are still quite crisp; those who prefer them softer should allow them to simmer for 20 minutes longer. Serving: Place rice in the middle of a plate, arrange a stuffed pepper on top, laying the top/lid against the side, and pour on some of the cooking liquid. Enjoy! 89

Dear reader, this is a recipe for an utterly delicious potato salad from my town of Gelsenkirchen.

In our town, it’s always Ma (meaning either your mom Serves or your wife) who makes Serves it, while us men Serves are better employed washing the car or - and this is important! - talking to the neighbors over the fence or in the street, meanwhile having a beer. That’s our way of spending our Saturday afternoons in the Ruhr Region, with the radio on for Portionen Portionen Portionen the soccer commentary. It’s great!

But now here goes: Serves Serves Serves Boil the potatoes whole, in their skins, and make sure to leave them to cool. A good idea is to cook them early in the morning or the day before. It’s not much work. Portionen

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small slices. Then finely chop the onion and add to the potatoes.

Ralph Biermann wishes

Glück Auf! (Good Luck!) But now for the mayonnaise. Put one whole egg - minus the shell! - in a small bowl. Add the salt, pepper, sugar, mustard and lemon juice, pour in the sunflower oil and whisk with a kitchen mixer on low speed till it gradually becomes thick. A tip for the calorie-conscious: To increase the quantity, add yoghurt. Then pour the mayonnaise over the potatoes, chop the pickled gherkin (sweet & sour flavor), add it to the salad, and stir with a large spoon. Which means it’s now time for another beer as most of the work is done!

Kochbuch 2014_EN_FINAL.indd 95

Instead of gherkin, you can use cucumber. This gives a fresh flavor, especially in summer. Serve with freshly grilled wiener sausages or meatballs (a recipe for delicious meatballs can be found in this book, too). This potato salad tastes best the next day, when the full flavor has had time to develop. But don’t forget: The mayonnaise contains raw egg, so always keep the salad refrigerated and use up within three to four days. Have fun and enjoy

For the dark mousse, whip cream until stiff, and set aside. Whisk the egg with 2 tbsp of water in a bowl over a hot water bath to form a thickish cream.
