It's Sunday and time for comfort food again:)) Saw this super-easy recipe for a Hungarian favourite called Rakott Krumpli on one of my favourite food shows - 'Food Safari' on the Fox History and Travel channel.I googled the translation of the name and it means Pleated Potatoes ...so this is a one-pot casserole kinda dish with layers of potatoes and other things..Well what are the other ingredients..boiled eggs, sausage (or leftover ham or salami...but the original is with sausage) and sour cream (sadly we dont get sour cream so easily here so I just used the regular Amul cooking cream and poured some lemon juice on top)
I highly recommend this to my bachelor readers as it is sounds really fancy but is so easy to make and most importantly will make a great impression on anybody :)) This recipe does not have any accurate measurements as you have to just keep layering the ingredients as per the size of your dish and the number of guests..Use a nice looking dish as you can serve it up directly with a green salad and some warm crusty garlic bread..
Ingredients (serving for 2)
1 large potato, boiled and cut into medium thick slices
2 boiled eggs, peeled and cut into slices
1/2 cup cream (sour cream preferred)
6-7 sausages cut into slices(size of your choice)
Salt and pepper
1 onion, sliced
Bread crumbs
Olive oil
1.Saute the onion in olive oil till soft and keep aside
2.Take an oven-proof dish and grease all sides with olive oil.
3.Start with one layer of potatoes, add salt and pepper.
4.Then add the sausages layer followed by the boiled eggs layer. Spoon half the sour cream on top.
5.Make second layers in the same order - potato ,sausage, eggs
6.Top off the dish with the sauted onions,remaining sour cream ,salt and pepper. Final topping is of bread crumbs and one spoon of olive oil. I added some chillies and parmesan cheese as well on top.
7.Bake in the center rack of a pre-heated oven at 200 deg C for about 20 minutes till the top is crisp and light brown.
8. Slice and serve hot. Squeeze some lemon juice if you have used plain cream and not sour cream
My chilli is a bit overbrowned in the picture but it gave a nice spicy flavour..and the baby cherry tomatoes are home-grown :)
