        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 😉

                      OMG Gulasch comin' up . . . now we're talkin'

                      I didn't have 12 hours to spare - b'cos I am going to get hammered so I made this:

                      Halibut in a Curried Mussel Broth

                      I'll stick the details on the next post . . .

                          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._

                          Eat

                            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

                                        TWE - it's easy! Takes half an hour or so - the longest bit is cleaning mussels and chopping veg

                                          Preping seafood was my main task as a line cook.  Mostly, I'm just a huge curry fan, but have never cooked with it, for shame.  Been thinking of picking up a curry cook book, but it looks like I'll be making my first attempt with your disk.

                                          I just ate lunch and I'm STILL salivating over that fish.  🙂

                                            cool - so you're a cook?

                                            you need to get into this thread man!

                                            but this isn't a real curry - just using some flavour for background really

                                            anyways - i'm gone
