Bruin Brood: Dutch Whole Wheat Bread

Learn to make “Bruin Brood,” a Dutch whole wheat bread! When I moved to the United States, I couldn’t find a wheat bread that I truly liked. So I learned how to make it myself. After many years, my recipe is pretty foolproof. Learning to make whole wheat bread was a challenge for me. At first, the taste of fresh homemade bread wasn’t what I’d remembered from my home in the Netherlands. I took some time to adjust though and after many years, I’d say this recipe has turned out very good! The taste reminds me of home and it makes my mouth water just writing about it.

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!

Snert: Dutch Split Pea Soup (In the Instant Pot, and without Pork)

Learn to make #Snert: Dutch Split Pea soup. A soup so thick that your spoon will stay upright in it! Traditionally this is made with bone-in pork, and bacon; however, we don’t eat pork, so I made this recipe with #beef and chicken andouille sausage. I use an Instant Pot to make this recipe! This soup is perfect for cold winter days: it will make you feel nice and warm, and it’s very filling!! I use andouille sausage because it has a smokey flavor and adds a little bit of spice, which I really like, and it’s a great compliment to the peas and other vegetables.
