The kids decided to cook up a recipe from their grandmother’s kitchen recipe book. Story and recipe in comments. Enjoy! And happy Mother’s Day!
While not a native German dish, it is frequently served in German cuisine, often prepared with pickles, paprika, and served over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
I cooked flour with butter 'till it's getting lightly brown, then added milk and a bit of cream. After a lot of stirring I added freshly grated cheese, Cheddar and Gruiere. I bought both at a small shop in town, called Kasdantlerin. That roughly translates to female cheese dealer. A small amount of salt and megnut with a generous amount of black pepper and the sauce was ready. I mixed it with penne 'cause I didn't had maccaroni, also panfried bacon and fried onions.

Zürcher Geschnetzeltes translates to "sliced meat Zurich style" or "Zurich-style veal strips". It is a traditional Swiss dish of thin veal strips, mushrooms, onions, and white wine in a creamy sauce, typically served with rösti (Swiss hash browns). The German version, *Geschnetzeltes*, often uses pork instead of veal and is generally more sauce-heavy.
Recipe from *Dr. Oetker Best Recipes German Cooking & Baking Cookbook*.
I used pork in this dish making it more of the German version. I’ve included the original recipe. Enjoy!
NOTE: I was cooking for one tonight, so the photos show a one meal serving. :)
Ok folks, yesterdays I bought some nice 'Bratwürste' from my lokal butchers shop. The raw ones made of coarsely ground pork meat about 10cm long. Uh, that would be about 4 inches, I think.
I, as a genuine german, born and raised near Munich, instantly think of mashed potatoes as the most fitting side dish. Or three of them in a fresh breadroll. I think, that's kinda hardwired in my brain. But I'm wondering what the folks in other countries think about that. Just tell me the side that pops in your mind, when you think 'Bratwurst'.
Those sausages are red bratwurst with cheese inside, wrapped in bacon and rubbed with spices the lady in the butcher shop refuses to tell me. The dip is 'bavarian bbq sauce.
15 years ago my German roommate made me this simple dish and I’ve been trying to get it right since then. I finally figured out how to make it to taste like how I remember! I know the egg is overcooked that’s how I like it :)
Slow cooked pork shoulder slices layered with onions, paprika and S&P.
A little out of practice but they still taste good. I ate 2 still hot from the oven with butter.
If you like to bake this recipe is solid. I've been using it for 10 years.
