Belgian Endive and Apple Salad With Cranberry Vinaigrette
This is a very colorful, simple yet tasty salad which would be perfect served with a holiday meal or anytime you have a craving for cranberries! I discovered this recipe in Bon Appetit, 1999.
Garlic and Mustard Roasted Brussel Sprouts
I found this on another site and tweeked it just a little, adding lemon juice. Great with a holiday meal, or any weeknight is great too.
Viennese Chocolate Fingers
The last of the 2007 holiday trays are done and I am already thinking about next year. (Our trays have favorites but always include a few new recipes.) Planned to make these but never had a chance. Posting this so I don’t lose it in the next 49 weeks before holiday begins again. This recipe comes from “1000 Chocolate Recipes from Around the World” an encyclopedic volume which should be mandatory reading for us chocoholics.
Linzer Torte
Linzer Torte is a holiday classic in the Austrian, Hungarian, Swiss, German and Tyrolean traditions, often prepared for Christmas. The recipe for this rich dessert has been known since the late 1600s and is thought to have originated in Linz, Austria. A copy from 1696 can be found at the Vienna Stadt-und Landesbibliothek. In the 1850s, an Austrian traveler by the name of Franz Hoelzlhuber allegedly brought the Linzer Torte to Milwaukee, from where the recipe spread over the United States. PS Let common sense be your guide when turning on the oven to pre-heat.
Braised Leg of Veal With Paprikas Sauce
This is a really special entree, perfect for a holiday dinner.Serve the gently flavored sour cream sauce over spaetzle or buttered noodles with poppy seeds.From a 1987 Bon Appetit that featured a menu and recipes for A Fantasy Yuletide in Old Vienna.You may also use a 3 1/2 pound veal leg, boned and tied, instead of the veal shoulder.
