Viennese Beet Preserves
This would be delicious with lamb or pork, also with curry, rice, or noodles. Use your imagination! I don’t remember where I got this, I like to collect unusual recipies.
Apple Pie Filling
A versatile Pie and Strudel filling that can be canned or frozen. Ideal for apple and quark filled pastry pockets, known in Austria as Apfel Topfen Taschen. Adapted from the wonderful Ball Blue Book.
Bagels
These are made from scratch and taste much better than the ones you buy halfready or from the store. You can decorate them with your favorite seeds. I like my bagels with cream cheese, or fresh salad and salmon. Please tell me your toppings if you comment!
Styrian “gigantes” (Scarlet Runner Bean Casserole)
This is a styrian version (Styria, Province of Austria) of a hearty, simple and vegan Greek Bean dish, that tastes heavenly and uses “Käferbohnen” (Scarlet runner beans) instead of white giant beans. If you can’t get hold of Scarlet Runner Beans use giant beans instead. The original recipe calls for about 200ml olive oil, i cut that lavish amount in half, and still find it’s enough oil left :). Prep.time comes without beansoaking time!
Haselnuss Bällchen (Hazelnut Balls)
These light and airy balls of hazelnuts are just like the Ferrero Rocher chocolates but without the chocolate. I know that will offend some people – no chocolate, huh! These are good neverless.
