I could say I chose this recipe because its basic ingredients, carrots and potatoes, are simple, genuine, and they point to a kitchen in the past that should be rediscovered every day.
I could say that, more or less, is the same recipe that I prepared for my grandmother when I was sick: potatoes and carrots with just a little butter. And now that she is being sick is I who they were preparing.
I could say that I have chosen a Belgian recipe because Sigrid , with his book, his photographs and his post, made me fall in love so much that Belgium can not wait to visit it.
I could give many reasons, and those would all be true as soon as such, but the reality is that I do this recipe I chose for a single, banal and not very decent reason ...
weeks were skimming through the book of cabbage looking to revisit the recipe for the Cabbage party and, needless to say, changed my mind every day (though this has given me the chance to try several and appreciate all !). As long as the lighting: accidentally discover that the title preparation of a Belgian stoemp, pronounced STUMP. That is: STUMP.
Come on, is the perfect name for a blog that falls bean!
For the uninitiated, is an onomatopoeic sound STUMP widely used in comic books and is a something (often a person) who falls dead weight. Now, there was a time in my life (nice way of understanding a year ago) in which I was delighted to create comic books (and who knows me knows that I am totally incapable in design: what makes the story completely paradoxical). This would not be so ridiculous in itself, if only they had not been partially autobiographical comics. And since one of the reasons why I chose the title "Casca bean" is my, er, tendency to fall a dead weight in the most unlikely places and in the most preposterous, it is apparent that here was no doubt sound like STUMP onomatopoeic who used the most in my comics (as I write I feel almost like the nerd characters The Big Bang Theory, which is evil - if I start talking about Star Trek sopprimetemi).
Chances are good that has misunderstood everything, and discovers that in reality stoemp pronounce stomp . The recipe remains fast genuine, tasty and absolutely recommended to anyone (well, maybe this story of the comic, better not tell it around!).
As I revisited the recipe? In principle, I followed the recipe in his book by Sigrid. But the idea inspired me to make a finger food (I like too, checcipossofa ': P). So I made the mini basket of bread and I filled with a couple of tablespoons of stoemp aux Carottes. At that point, the idea to make them look like mini bowls of ice cream has taken over (I know ... fake bowls of ice cream, comic books, a well of useless ideas!). I dissolved the Philadelphia with a little milk, added a spoonful of cream salvia (sage, olive oil, vinegar and garlic) and inserted into the piping bag. Final touch: waffles made with Parmesan and a splash of balsamic vinegar. The end result is not bad: it is a finger food healthy, dietary and sage cream there is a fairy tale! My father, who found them on the table, he said, "but we eat ice cream before lunch?". At this point, I just hope Sigrid STUMP not face seeing as I tanned his ...
