Babi Pangang

Babi Pangang is my favorite dish on the menu of a Chinesae/Indonesian Restaurant. It took me a long time to figure it out how to get the crunchy meat. I read somewhere else that the Chinese/Indonesian Restaurants were deep frying the meat. Babi Pangang does has many variations in the Netherlands as hamburgers and pizza’s do in America. This is my own variation, with the biggest difference that I add chili paste (sambal oelek). Babi Pangang is supposed to be a sweet spiced dish, not hot. The ginger, garlic and lemon juice are also often left out. Serve with rice and an Indonesian vegetable dish Atjar Tjampoer or as part of a Rijsttafel. Do use shoulder chops, you will need that bit of fat.

Appelflappen (Apple Beignets)

Confusion about apple fritter and apple turnover. Is it appelflappen or appel beignets? Depends who you ask, and it depends where you are at. If you have appetite for apple fritter or an apple turnover you should wait and see what you get from the bakery. Both contains apple but how is the apple packaged. In puff pastry and baked in the oven or batter fried? It seems impossible to put an end to this confusion. Because how do you get everyone involved so far as to use the same definitions for apple fritters and apple turnovers? As for me I’m still calling these appelflappen because that’s what they were called where I grew up, even though officialy they are called appel beignets 😉 Appelflappen (beignets) are next to the oliebol the most popular treat on New Years Eve. Ever Dutch family will have some oliebollen and or appelflappen.

Carrabba’s Chicken Bryan Copycat

Chicken Bryan is one of Carrabba’s Italian Grill’s most ordered dish. It consists of an 8 oz grilled chicken breast, topped with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, and a basil lemon butter sauce. This dish is named after the city of Bryan, Texas, where the Carrabba family settled in the United States. The first time I went to Carrabba’s that’s what I ordered and I knew I just had to find a copycat recipe of this. I must say this one came pretty close. Find out for yourself.

Ingredients

½ cup dry white wine
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup cold butter, sliced
1½ cups chopped sun-dried tomatoes
¼ cup chopped fresh basil (I didn’t have it at this time used dried basil)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon white pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces caprino goat cheese or 8 ounces other goat cheese, room temperature

Instructions

Saute garlic and onion in 2 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat until tender. Stir wine and lemon juice into skillet, increase heat to medium high, and simmer to reduce by half. Reduce heat to low and stir in cold butter, one slice at a time.
Stir in tomatoes, basil, kosher salt, and white pepper; remove from heat; set aside.
Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken on your barbeque or in a grill skillet. When the chicken is done, place equal amounts of cheese on each breast and put the prepared sun-dried tomato sauce over the chicken breast.

Groentesoep met Balletjes

Groentesoep met Balletjes is a typical Dutch Soup. Literary translated Vegetable soup with balls. Didn’t realize that it’s a typical Dutch dish until I noticed I didn’t see it over here (USA). This is my version of groentesoep met balletjes.

Prime Rib Roast

Prime Rib Roast. The above Prime Rib Roast is a bit overdone in my opinion but never the less it was still juicy and tender. Next time cook it shorter.
