Creamy baked rice pudding in a soft pie crust… this rice pie recipe is a classic Belgian dessert! There are not many popular Belgian treats but this June D’Arville version of a well known pie captures one of them. If you can, PLEASE use the weight measurements. Enjoy!
This recipe will easily double for a big group or potluck. If you can, use lacinato kale, it’s not as tough as curly kale and lends itself well to raw salads like this one.The dressing is lovely with orange juice, mustard, and balsamic vinegar!
Picnic like the French with a perfectly ripe Camembert, some garlicky sausage and a fresh, crusty baguette – eh voila! No need to go outside for a picnic, if the weather is inclement; enjoy a picnic in your kitchen at the kitchen table, or use the cheese platter as a centrepiece for parties, fêtes, cocktails or social gatherings! Lay a tartan rug on the table and use wicker baskets or a hamper if you wish………..be as “rustique” or as “chic” as you want to be! Great for Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year, as well as for a summer picnics of course!
From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” A simple-to-make, delicious spaghetti dinner — and nicely different from the traditional spaghetti and meatballs. Here, the thick sauce is loaded with vegetables and ground beef (or try ground turkey for a leaner version.) The Gruyère cheese is worth the extra cost; it makes all the difference. I like the extra Tabasco, too. I usually double or triple, and freeze the extra for another meal or two later in the week. This dish, a couple of bottles of wine, and some friends… you got yourself a nice, casual dinner party.
