Belgian Endive, Apple and Almond Salad
Super simple and easy to throw together! Simple dressing too! Taken from thefreshmarket.com and posted for ZWT.
Sweet Potatoes Congolese
From Juliette Elkon’s A Belgian Cookbook. Posted for ZWT 7. Don’t worry about the alcohol used to prepare this dish, it will have burned off during the cooking. The cooking time includes the 1 hour marinating time.
Belgian Plum Flan
This recipe has been posted for ZWT II & my source is www.recipes4us.co.uk/Desserts%20and%20Puddings/Belgian%20Plum%20Flan. This recipe wasn’t very “Post Your Recipe” friendly as it expressed everything in both metric & US measurements, so I had to make a choice again (Time does not include cooling time)
Belgian Fries (Pommes Frites)
From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” There are other good frites recipes on Recipezaar; I’m including Ruth’s for the sake of personal closure — I can’t NOT include her frites in my collection of her traditional Belgian recipes. What makes Ruth’s unique is her call for older, starchy potatoes. As she says: “Never make fries with new potatoes…. It is imperative to use a starchy older potato for making real Belgian fries…. All your efforts will be in vain as the young potatoes have not had time to develop sufficient starch.” She adds: “The size of the fries is a very personal matter. Experiment to find the size you like best.” Adjust the frying time according to the thickness you prefer.
