Blinde Vinken: Centuries-Old Dutch Recipe of Ground Beef Wrapped in Top Round

Lear to make a recipe has been common practice for centuries. For instance, the Middle Ages offered many dishes that were considered a delicacy by some, but would not have been affordable by others due to their cost. One example is small songbirds like finches and sparrows. Due to their high price, it was more common for regular people to recreate these types of recipes and make them accessible by using cheap cuts of meat – ground beef and pounded thin top round – cooked in a delicious sauce. My recipe of “Blinde Vinken” (Blind Finches) allows you to easily make this at home with the proper proportions which will taste remarkably close to what they ate during those times!
