Frieten (Belgian French Fries)
In English, frieten are usually called “French fries” even though the Belgians state, that they originate from Belgium and there is nothing French about them.
Rice With Mushrooms
on peggy’s request and as a thank you for the wonderful kabuli. it comes from the cookbook by the farmers union. very popular in belgium especially because of its easy but yummy recipes. it’s a great succes when I serve my brothers this…judge for yourself!! (it is great just by itself (for my vegetarian friends) or really good with some chicken fillets.)
Belgian Stoemp Aux Carottes (Carrot Mashed Potatoes)
This is a popular side dish in Belgium. It usually goes with blood sausage (boudin) or strips of bacon, but I often serve it with sautéed chicken. Go easy on the cream, you want it to have more substance than smooth mashed potatoes.
Belgian Fries With Andalouse Sauce
Belgian fries are cooked twice for a soft middle and crisp outside and served with a mayo sauce called Andalouse, found online at allrecipes and the best fries I’ve ever made
Petits Pois à La Française – French Style Peas
A delicious combination of peas, onions and lettuce which are gently poached in a buttery sauce with crème fraiche and vegetable stock; this classic French recipe is a wonderful way to serve tender little peas, petits pois. This recipe makes a delightful accompaniment to any type of main meal, and adds a real splash of colour. I have stated fresh OR frozen peas in the recipe – frozen peas can be used to great effect out of season. In the absence of small silverskin onions, spring onions (green onions) can be used, making this a very versatile recipe to serve throughout the year. Cut back on the butter if you are on a low fat diet – the taste will be less rich, but still as delicious!
