Leek
This week the GFGF-Group is cooking with leeks. It is the whole year available and even in March this veggie is the only one with low climate impact. I have already posted a lot of leek recipes, but this week I chose a recipe from my favourite German Chef Vincent KlinkButton English. In 2012 we visited his restaurant in Stuttgart and as entree his famous leek quiche was served. Since December his restaurants – like all others are closed, he hopes he can open again in April 23.05.2021 **. Vincent Klink doesn’t keep his recipes secret, the Wielandshöhe Website has published recipes like the famous

The highes elevation in Schleswig-Holstein is the Bungsberg Button English with 164 m about 180 yards …

The leek quiche makes me feel like travelling and dining out in these times.

Method

  1. Knead flour, butter, water, egg and salt into a firm dough. Put the dough into an airtight container and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
  2. Heat the oven to 200 °C-392 °F /Fan 180 °C-356 °F / Gas 3-4 .
  3. Sauté leeks in a pan with 2 tablespoons of butter. Then leave to cool slightly.
  4. Roll out the base thinly, fold it up and roll it out again, and then do it all over again. This creates a sort of puff pastry effect. Put the dough in a greased pie dish quiche or springform pan (diameter 26 cm), pull up the edge about 3 cm. Fill the pastry case with a round of baking paper and add baking beans to weigh it down. For this purpose use dried beans or ceramic balls, which you can order on the Internet. Bake blind for 10 mins, then carefully remove the paper and beans. (Instructions from Vincent Klink in 2011)
  5. Beat the eggs with the crème fraîche and cream, mix in the grated cheese and leeks and season with pepper and nutmeg. Spread the mixture on the pastry base. Allow the mixture to set in the warm oven for about 30 minutes at low heat (Ulrike 180 °C-356 °F).

Spaghetti with Swede and Bacon

8 Antworten

Swede or rutabage is overlooked and underused, so I chose it as vegetable of the week for the GFGF group. It is a must in our house to serve it as Swede mash (with salami-style sausage) at least once a year. But swede is more than mash, for example pasta always works like this comforting

Really delicious. I hope I can convince Donna, Ellen, Kayte, Margaret, Nancy and Peggy to use this vegetable. The taste of rutabaga is a bit like turnip, mildly peppery, earthy, a tiny bit bitter and a tiny bit sweet. The classic combination in Northern Germany is swede, potatoes and/or carrots.

Spaghetti with Swede and Bacon

Spaghetti with Swede and Bacon

Spaghetti with Swede and Bacon is budget-friendly and a twist on the classic carbonara. Seasonal swede, local bacon and plenty of parmesan. This a comforting lunch, the 3rd serving I took to work and enjoyed as lunch at work

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil,
  • 250 grams swede , peeled and chopped into small chunks
  • 1 onion , peeled, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 40 grams parmesan , grated, plus extra to serve
  • 300 grams spaghetti
  • 120 grams diced bacon, smoked
  • 2 thyme sprigs , leaves picked, plus extra to serve

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, then add the swede, onion and garlic and fry for 5 mins. Cover with a lid and cook for a further 10-15 mins, stirring so it doesn’t stick, until the swede is completely soft. Set aside to cool, then blitz in a food processor or mash with the parmesan and a large pinch of seasoning. Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
  2. Cook the pasta in salted water for 1 min less than pack instructions, reserving a little of the cooking water. Meanwhile, use the frying pan you used for the sauce to fry the pancetta until crisp, around 5 mins. Add the thyme and fry for 1 min, then tip into the sauce.
  3. Transfer the pasta to the sauce, add the reserved water, and give everything a good toss around the pan, so the pasta is well coated in the sauce. Season, then split between bowls, top with more parmesan and a big grind of black pepper to serve.
