Christmas dinners in Europe. Just when you think you can't eat anymore! Stage Four from the Rheinland!

Later last night my German friend Thorsten Feldmann from the Rheinland Palatinate sent me some more pictures and information about a meal for eight that his father had put together for their evening repast on Christmas Day. You would think that they were already stodged from the lamb lunch aber gar nicht! But not at all!

"Hi Phil! Here is the evening meal cooked by my Father.
 
To start, carrot ginger soup and a variety of four salads. For the main, stuffed pork cheeks with a broad variety of roast vegetables including Brussels sprouts, carrots and cauliflower. By the way, although we already full from the lamb at lunchtime the stuffed pigs cheeks (that you thought were chicken!) are for eight hungry people. Cheese sauce and gravy (jus) are added to finish the dish. For dessert we have marscapone cream and raspberries. We will sleep well tonight!"
 


 



The finished main dish with pasta!

Krautwickel - stuffed cabbage leaves from Germany

I was chatting with my lovely German friend and actress Lena on facebook last night and towards the end of a very pleasant chat she told me she would have to go as she was cooking Krautwickel for her boyfriend and herself. I had never heard of this and asked her to send me some photos of her finished dish. She said it may not look very exciting but it tastes delicious.




I found this very good recipe for the stuffed cabbage leaves on a German foods site in English. I must give it a try sometime. Thanks Lena x
