Cooking class on Feb. 25

「ドイツ料理といえば」に続くイメージ通り、今回のチャレンジはソーセージ。手に入りやすい材料を使い、サランラップ巻きして茹でました。デザートはご近所フランス発のタルトタタンを。タルトのひっくり返しには一瞬の静寂後、安堵の交じる歓声が。ご参加の皆さん、今回もどうもありがとうございました！

Theme: German dish

Menue: Bratwurst (German sausage)

Ingredients

• 600 ground beef and pork
• 60cc milk
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1 small egg

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients in a bowl (or a big plastic bag) and knead until smooth. Be sure to mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are spread evenly throughout the meat.
2. Cut plastic wrap 15 cm square, add 3 tablespoons of meat and shape as sausage. Wrap tight.
3. In a skillet, bring water to boil. Boil wrapped sausages about 10-13 minutes.

Today we added some bay leaves in a hot water to make increase the sausages flavor. With colorful veggies and whole-grain mustard, they tasted great! Believe me, we baked two tarte tatins at the same time (though this is obviously traditional French cake). They were just wonderful.

There will be a lot of variations by changing or adding some spices—onions, garlic, majoram, oregano, coriander, etc. You can also find some ready-made spice mix at supermarkets. However, try this simple recipe first!!
