Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today
-
Everything looks sooo delicious! Yum…stretch jeans stretch!!
PS article today in Germany where they refer to the habit of posting what you cook on the internet as "Food Porn"
and well...I made Chicken soup today with Kloesse ... my contribution to the "food porn"
well I think we're all adults here . . . so 'food porn' should be ok - BTW your dumplings look really tasty
really tho' - the soup looks fantastic!
PS are Kloesse the same as Knödel?

Ah Geo…don't fret...not easy to cook all the time. I opted for the chicken soup since I wasn't working and it was snowing outside.
and Kloesse are potato dumplings made with mashed and raw shredded potatoes..they look like matza balls or
...different than Knödel..(although it normally has the umlaut as well)
is a bit more like dumplings made from dough...like a bread...more airy when in Czech
or in Austria…YUM speck Knoedel soup or Kase Knoedel soup it's "what to die for" on the slopes when u are skiing...and that is made from semmel and yeah cheese or bacon etc..
Probably more info than you needed Geo…and I'm thinkin I sound like a real foodie tg were all old enough for food porn here.

that's all really cool info jegz - thanx
wasn't too sure the difference between the different dumplings - I think it's Knödel I've had . . . they were served with meat stews - delicious
funny thing is the last time I ate the dumplings was in a German bar in Abu Dhabi a few months ago!!
need to try the Kloesse now
-
ahh..good food….jegz - I have a feeling you should give the Gulasch & Knoedel a go...

Glad I didnt give to much info Geo
Love it that the dumplings were in a German restaurant in Abu Dhabi.. cool!
and yes Kloesse should be next on your list…normally with meat and rotkraut or sauerkraut and gravy....not a bad combo
hmmmm beats....gulasch? thought that was your specialty

very kind - but you haven't tried it yet
looking forward to ur offering - and can I get some dumplings in there too?
anyways, here's the detail:
What you need
About 250g halibut fillets – 2 pieces (depends on how hungry you are); about 500g Mussels, cleaned, with beards removed; some sprigs of thyme; couple of bay leaves; 150ml dry white wine (Riesling is good); 1 small carrot – diced; 1 small stick celery – diced; 1 tspn mild curry powder; 2 pinch saffron strands; 150ml double cream; butter
What you do
_Heat a pan until hot, add the mussels, a sprig of thyme, bay leaves and wine. Cover the pan and cook for 1-2 mins until all the mussels have opened.
Strain off and reserve the juices. Remove the mussels from their shells and set aside.
Sauté the vegetables until soft, together with curry powder, the saffron and another sprig or two of thyme. Add the strained mussel stock and allow to reduce.
Dust the Halibut on both sides with some curry powder. Fry in butter for 2-3 minutes until golden brown (depends very much on thickness of fish and heat of pan – don’t overdo it though)
Meanwhile add the mussels to the vegetables. Allow to warm through then add the cream and bring back to the boil. Taste and season if you think it needs it - I didn't need to add any . . . but it's up to you
Serve into bowls and place fish on top._

the slight glaze of the fish, the fresh herbs and the richness of the sauce / judging by color I would think we´re talking a curry flavor - I am pretty sure that this is one hell of a meal…
gotta stir the gulasch..hehe
