Belgian Safehouse Drunken Applesauce

Upon arriving in Belgium you might think “AHH safety, finally I’m in an allied nation”..WRONG!!! Belgium is CRAWLING with red spies. You’re walking down the street thinking…Hmm, maybe I’ll grab some mussels and a beer then take in a nice marionette show. Then while you’re in the theater BAM…Abe Lincoln style. Anyway…In the Autumn in Belgium after the apple harvest there are always a bunch of apples not fit for eating out of hand…but when you’re holed up in a safehouse, you have to stretch everything to make ends meet. Maybe you didn’t finish you beer last night, but you can’t imagine drinking it…well here’s a use for it. I like this with very oniony pork chops. the savory from the caramelized on ions, the saltiness of the pork and the sweetness of the applesauce is absolutely perfect.

Belgian Endive With Roquefort Dressing

This is from my 365 Ways to Cook Vegetarian cookbook. Posting for ZWT3. “French tradition warrants that this salad be served on Christmas or New Year’s Eve in French homes… The slightly bitter taste of the tear-shaped Belgian endive marries itself well with Roquefort cheese and a strong-flavored vinaigrette. To clean endives, wipe them with a damp cloth. Don’t soak them, since they tend to absorb water.”

Whitloaf

This is a traditional Femish Belgium dish. It is easy and can be prepared in the morning and baked when you get home from work. This and other recipes have been taught to me by my Flemish husband. Enjoy

Braised Belgian Endive

Great Side dish as well as another use for endive aside from salad garnishment it commonly is used as.
