  • ERWTENSOEP

    
    INGREDIENTS:
    
    2 cups split green peas
    3 quarts cold water
    1 pig's foot (or ham bones)
    4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into squares
    4 frankfurters (use your favorite sausage)
    1 pound potatoes
    1 celeriac, diced
    1 cup celery, chopped
    2 leeks, well washed and chopped
    2 onions
    
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    
    Wash the peas, soak them for 12 hours (unless you use quick cooking peas),
    and boil gently in the water they were soaked in for at least 2 hours. 
    Cook in this liquid the pig's foot, and bacon for at least 1 hour. 
    Add the sliced potatoes, salt, celeriac, leeks and celery; cook until everything tests done and the soup is smooth and thick. Add the sausage during the last 10 minutes. The longer the soup simmers, 
    the better the flavor. Three hours is usual. The soup thickens 
    -so much it can almost be cut - as it cools.

  • MEAT KROKETTEN (#2)

    
    INGREDIENTS: (for 8 croquettes) 
    
    200 grams of boiled or fried lean veal- or (tender) beef, 
    2 1/2 deliciters (one deciliter = one tenth of a liter) bouillon (made from bouillon or beef-tea 
    cubes or use some of the vealstock), 
    1 bay leaf 
    Some nutmeg,
    A dash of thyme
    4 peppercorns,
    1 small onion and carrot,  
    A couple of twigs of parsely, 
    35 grams flour 
    35 grams butter 
    5 grams gelatin (NOT to be confused with gelignite..!), 
    a small squeeze of lemon juice
    pepper to taste
    dry breadcrumbs, 
    1 egg, 
    fat or oil for deepfrying.
    
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    Add the rasped/chopped vegetables and spices to the warm(ed) stock and 
    leave for approx half an hour.
    Prepare a thick sauce of the butter, flour, the (strained) stock
    and boil for a few minutes on low heat. 
    Dissolve the gelatin (which has previously been left to soak for about
    10 minutes in ample water and squeezed out) in the thick sauce. 
    Mix the finely chopped meat with the sauce. 
    Add the lemonjuice and pepper to taste. 
    This mix (also called ragout or hash) is now spread out onto a flat dinner plate
    and must be left to cooled off until cold right through. 
    Divide into 8 equal rolls and roll them through the dry bread crumbs. 
    Beat the egg with one table spoon of water until dissolved but not foamy
    and roll the croquettes through this mixture. 
    Roll the croquettes through the breadcrumbs a second time and make sure
    there are no cracks in the cover of crumbs/eggmix. 
    In the meantime heat the deep fry fat or oil until vapour starts to rise
    and place the croquettes, preferably with the aid of a utensil, 
    into the oil and let them brown quickly to a golden brown 
    (...why am I getting hungry..). 
    Remove excess oil by placing croquettes on oil absorbing paper
    for a short while and serve on plate, decorated with (fried) parsely twigs
    if you wish.
    This recipe can also be used to make 'Bitterballen'. 
    Instead of making long shaped rolls, make balls ( about 4 cm/1½ in) diameter) 
    out of the mix and serve hot at parties or other festive occasions.
