Akaranda 18 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hello all, I a live in the midwest of the US, and I love to cook. Sometimes it is very hard to find authentic foreign recipes that haven't been effected by our influence on the dish. Since I love to cook, and I know many of you live in an entirely different continent, I was wondering if anyone would like to share some authentic recipes that are local to your town, city, state, or country. Full recipes with ingredients and directions would be appreciated. If your dish sounds appetizing, I'll make it and post pics and what I think about it. This will also help me plan meals for my house. I won't use a recipe if it includes Seafood (or any weird fermented thing), but I have access to common and uncommon ingredients from around the world. Can be anything, side-dish, main course, dessert, whatever you feel like sharing. Thanks in advance! Link to post Share on other sites
anonyme0273 677 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Greetings! Interestingly, I have been working on a web app for my school about certain holidays, allowed and recommended foods during these holidays and of course recipes included If I don't forget until it's done (expected end of the year), I will post it here for you and everyone else to see. At the moment, I don't have much to tell you, because I am as useless in a kitchen as I am in most other real life skills Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites

Lukaznid 1 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I recommend this, http://www.delo.si/druzba/odprta-kuhinja/torkov-namig-za-kosilo-matevz-in-kisla-repa.html . Here's the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matev%C5%BE . It's a Slovenian dish and IMO tastes super good. However, We prepare it differently in my region of Notranjska (In-land if you will), It's still a side dish, just make sure to add more beans and pork rind when you cook it, it takes a lot better. This is then added to what is basically Sauerkraut, but more in a soup kind of way. End product should look like this: recipe: https://www.kulinarika.net/recepti/13415/enoloncnice/dva-v-enem/ If you're not into that then I recommend some beef soup http://okusno.je/recept/domaca-goveja-juha . This is also the one thing you will find on all Slovenian Sunday dinners. Soups are a big thing here Sorry for all the links being in Slovenian, google translate the hell out of it. A few pointers, "sestavine" = ingredients , "priprava" = how to make. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenian_cuisine Here's the whole list of foodstuffs, some are a bit harder to do or are seriously regionally based. Dober tek! Ca7 likes this Link to post Share on other sites

veryhasted 2 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Swedish Local recipes, I suppose "Raggmunk med fläsk och lingonsylt" is a good one (Potato pancake with pork and lingonberry jam) * 800g of potato (1.76 lb) * 1 egg * 1,5dl flour (0,33 lb) * 3 dl milk (0,66 lb) * 2 teaspoons salt * 50g butter (0,11 lb) For serving * 500g bacon (1.1 lb) * lingonberry jam (it should look something like this when done) Instructions: 1. Make a batter of eggs, flour and milk. Peel the potatoes and grate it on a grater directly into the batter so that the batter does not darken. Then salt. 2. Fry small platelets of the mixture into the butter on medium heat so that the potatoes have time to be done. 3. Slice the salted pork and fry in hot pan. Serve with potato pancakes and lingonberry jam. I don't know how easy it is to get a hold on lingonberry jam. Never met anyone from outside the scandinavian countries that knows what it is. (I couldn't find a recipe that wasn't in swedish with the correct ingredients so I translated) Edited January 9, 2017 by veryhasted Link to post Share on other sites

Plasi 9 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Well, my favourite meal is a delicous suop, while keeping its production pretty simple: YumYum aka #studentslife Ingredients: Preparation: 1. Open Package. 2. Put noodles into a bowl. 3. Open the other smaller packages, containing vegetables and spices. 4. Add them to the noodles. 5. Apply hot water to the noodles. 6. Wait for 5 minuets. Enjoy your meal! Tipp: It isn't important, wether you put the noodles, the vegetables or the spices first in the bowl. Alternation: If you really like curry: If you like it a bit more spiced up: For our vegetarians: Link to post Share on other sites

I have a counter-recipe to your recipe. If you boil the noodles (for the ones without veggies and stuff) and then drain them instead, put a 1/4 stick of butter, 1/4 cup of milk, half of the seasoning, and half a bag of shredded cheese, it turns into a delicious macaroni and cheese. I started doing this every time I have it. Link to post Share on other sites

Looks glorious I would recommend putting noodles in there as well next time. Pickled turnips are not too hard to come by IMO, but it's up to you Link to post Share on other sites
