Baeckeofe – Alsace{ german dessert recipes}

1 Servings

1 lb lamb's shoulder,deboned and Cubed

1 lb beef for stew

1 lb pork,deboned and cubed

1 lg onion

3    to 4 leeks

1    thyme,bay leaves, salt & pepper (t,o taste)

2 cl garlic,minced (or more)

2 c  dry white wine (preferably from als,ace)

3 lb potatoes

1    flour & water

THE NIGHT BEFORE:  Marinade the meats with the diced onion and the leeks, sliced and in rings.  Add the spices and the garlic.  Then add the white wine and keep in refrigerator over night (be sure to seal it tightly, or your refrigerator will smell like spices in the morning).

THE NEXT DAY:  Remove the meat, draining it, but keeping the juices. Grease the roasting dish and cover the bottom with half of the potatoes, peeled and sliced.  Place the marinated meat on top of the potatoes, along with the onions and leeks.  Salt and pepper lightly (I have found that after baking, there isn't much flavor of salt or pepper, so don't be afraid to add more, especially pepper).  Place the rest of the potatoes (also peeled and sliced) on top of meat, covering thoroughly. Pour the marinade over the whole thing, and add water, enough to reach the top layer of potatoes.

Mix together some flour and water, in order to get a rather soft and sticky dough.  Place the lid on the dish and seal it with this dough. Be sure to press the dough firmly, to be sure it is sealed and not just resting on top of the lid.

Bake in a 275-300 degree oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.  Serve right from the dish, hot.

In order to get the ultimate German flavor in your rice, you'll need first of all rice. You'll also need vegetables, whatever your selection is. In this case we'll use carrots, peas, and cabbage. You might want to add some pork and some eggs. Of course you might want to add as well the traditional Chinese sweet and sour sauce. All these ingredients will make your recipe extremely delicious.

First of all get a pot, fill it with water, and set it to boil. Later you add the rice until it's fully cooked. Meanwhile you can begin with chopping all the different vegetables. Chop the carrots in really small pieces, and cut the cabbage into small pieces as well. In a small pan, crack the egg and make some scrambled eggs. When you have this all ready proceed with the pork. Cut it into really small bites and place in a pan.

After you have all the ingredients ready, check if the rice is ready and if it is, place it in a pan. Add all of the ingredients to it and take a spoon and mix them all with the rice. As it all starts cooking, add little by little the sweet and sour sauce that will give the rice some color. The temperature should be only moderate.
