Cooking with Reborn

Did you know the Czechs take their Sunday lunches very seriously? They need to have a proper meal for that. No shoddy work at all. They explained that it is the only time the entire family can come together at the table and have a meal at the same time. It's very important for them since they are unable to do it the rest of the week. Amazing! I like this family time. It's really good for bonding with your family members.

Anyway, today's lunch was excellent. Good Czech food. For soup, we had a traditional, only-made-at-home-cannot-find-in-restaurants yeast soup, and the main dish was something called french potatoes. It's really simple. And really delicious. Sedap I tell you.

How do you make french pototoes, you ask?

Simple.

Ingredients:
Potatoes (Pre-boiled, peeled and sliced)
Onions (diced)
Meat (Any meat, e.g. sausages, or ham, or salami; sliced)
Eggs
Milk
Salt
Ground black pepper
Cheese (Any cheese)
Butter

Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
2. Greese a casserole dish with butter.
3. Place a layer of potates, followed by a layer of onions.
4. Sprinkle salt and pepper.
5. Place a layer of meat.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until ingredients are used up.
7. Beat eggs with milk.
8. Pour over the layers, into the casserole dish. The liquid should reach the topmost layer.
9. Place into the oven and bake until slightly browned. (Just slightly browned)
10. Place a layer of cheese on top, and return to the oven until cheese has melted.
11. Serve hot.

It's this simple. And you can replace the potatoes with pasta, or noodles; onions with some other vegetable. It's a very versatile dish, simple to prepare and tastes great. Oiishi neh!

Try it!
