One of my childhooddays favourites! And I still do like this very fragrant, aromatic sweet pie/tarte like dish. Use apples (you might want to add more sugar then) instead of bananas, mangos or raisins. Serve lukewarm with vanilla sauce as main dish or as dessert.
If you ever have the pleasure to come to a family or friends gathering in Iceland you will be able to try this. If you think your chances are not that high for that, try it for yourself. This is such an easy crowd pleaser, you will be amazed! 12 ounces are about 340 grames which makes 1-2 packages. I prefere it not to be too rich. You can use plain cream cheese or cream cheese with herbs. You can leave the ham and use sliced and panfried mushrooms instead. If you want the sandwhich to be higher, only pour half of the mixture onto the bread, then add onother layer of bread and finish as stated below.
Our first day in Salzburg and we were famished. This was one of the desserts we ordered at a Gasthaus near our hotel. Delicious. Much like the molten cakes in fashion. This version was picked up at Global Gourmet.
My 3 friends and I tried a lot of different dishes when travelling in Austria. Our policy was to always order something different – and never the same dish twice. This is a tasty meat and potato stew. I do forego the ‘pastry lid’ as I have a pretty good oven casserole dish and little steam escapes.
I have a friend in Duxbury, MA, who used to describe herself as the “hamburger queen.” This recipe was concocted for her to show her that ground meat can not only be truly tasty, but also elegant, exotic and fit for company… This recipe is Bohemian in origin. You may substitute commercial puff pastry, if desired, although it will change the texture and make the results much heavier. Fussing with the phyllo is worth the time and effort.
