So in this article we will study recipes of German cuisine at home. After all, it is always interesting what they eat abroad, and even more interesting is not just to hear the name, but also to try. After all, each kitchen is unique in its own way. Even the same dish in different housewives turns out differently, let alone peoples.
Strudel with meat and potatoes
Strudel undoubtedly belongs to German cuisine. The recipe with a photo we will consider further.
We will need two sets of products: for the test and for the filling. So for the test:
- One glass of not very fatty kefir.
- One fresh chicken egg.
- One pinch of soda and salt.
- About four glasses of flour, but you need to look at how much dough will take.
For filling:
- About three hundred grams of pork.
- Two hundred grams of homemade sausages and the same amount of cheese, but you can not add it at all.
- Several large potatoes.
- One and a half onions and one carrot.
- Salt.
- Water.
- Various seasonings.
- Butter.
First of all, prepare the dough. To do this, you need to drive an egg into kefir and mix well. Then add salt and soda, stirring constantly, add flour. The dough should be elastic. Leave it for a while under a towel to get it.
After a while, the dough rolls into one big pancake. On top, put the half of the onion, which you fried in butter, and grate the cheese on top. But if you decide to do without it, then it is not necessary. After that, the pancake rolls into a tight tube. Then the tube is cut into pieces, each approximately two centimeters.
Separately, the rest of the onions and grated carrots are fried in a pan with butter. Sliced pork and slices of sausages go there. Some housewives prefer to use either sausages or meat. You can add your favorite spices here. When the meat is browned, chop the potatoes and also send to the pan, add a little salt. And on top lay slices of sausage from the dough. Then all this is filled with water, but in such a way that the strudel is steamed and the water does not touch them. All this is covered and simmering for about fifty minutes. Make sure that the water does not boil away, otherwise there is a risk that the dish will start to burn. Here is a dish of German cuisine, the recipe of which you can safely write for yourself.
