Hagelslag for #BrunchWeek #sponsor


So, remember I'm doing things a little bit differently for #BrunchWeek this year?? Click to read about it: here. The gist - I'm sharing some foods from around the world that people eat for breakfast...and it differs greatly from the American regimen of eggs and bacon or pancakes. Today we're heading to the Netherlands our virtual #BrunchWeek tabletop travel.

Now, I lived in the Netherlands for three years when I was a kid and don't remember once eating this for breakfast. Not. One. Single. Time. But, then again, my mom was mean; she's a sweet Nonna, though. But eating bread with chocolate sprinkles wouldn't have been too high on her list of things to allow.

I'm sharing this sweet breakfast treat with you all. In the Netherlands, sprinkles are called hagelslag which translates to 'hailstorm'. Hagelslag comes in a variety of flavors, shapes, and sizes, and are most commonly eaten atop of buttered bread. I had fully intended to make homemade bread for this post, but the week got away from me.



Ingredients
  • bread, toasted or not (it depends on your preference)
  • butter, at room temperature
  • chocolate for shaving (I used Pacari's Piura Quemazon Raw Organic 70%*)

Procedure
Toast your bread - or not. Butter it. Shave chocolate over the top; I used a mandolin slicer. That's it. Does this even count as a recipe??

  1. Haha - love Wendy's comment. :D I agree - it counts as a recipe - you have shared with us a food that most of us have probably never heard of, and it sounds like something everyone should get to enjoy for breakfast at least once! :)

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
