How to make Quark

It does sound a bit gross, but maybe you should give it a shot!

hmmm, is scares me a bit, but maybe I will... my FIL loves Quark and I'd love to have some for him when the inlaws are here in June.

Here's another one for you Ms Squirrel....what do I do with Grunkern....I know that isn't spelled right, but that's close. I think it's like spelt, but I don't have a clue how to make it. My MIL brought some of it back from Germany for us last year.

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Yes, it's spelt wheat- really yum.

You can make Grünkernbratling - veggie patties

Grind the Grünkern coarsly (I think you need a special grinder for it...I am not sure though). Boil vegetable stock (just use a cube), add the Grünkern, let it boil for 30 secs and then take off the stove and let it soak for 10 minutes. Dice onions and sautee in a pan with a bit of oil. Mix an egg wirh salt, pepper and chopped parsely, add the sauteed onions. Add that to the drained, soaked Grünkern. Mix together, form little patties and fry them.

If the dough is too moist, add some flour or some oats if you like. You can also add all kinds of veggies to the patties - carrot, courgette, mushroom etc. but sautee them with the onion.

It's a nice veggie dish - especially dipped in tzatziki!

Oh, measures - 250g grünkern, 2 eggs, 1 medium onion

That sounds YUM! Another recipe for when the inlaws are here since MIL is a veggie...

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

What I also really like are potato fritters - grind the potatos, mix with sauteed onion, egg and flour and fry them. We eat them with applesauce - deelish!

I was married to a vegetarian, so I am a neverending source of veggie recipes!

My gran made the best potato pancakes (I'm sure the same thing as your fritters or latkes). Yum with applesauce or sour cream...

gaaaaaaaaaah...I'm going to get hungry again.

YAY!!! we'll be waiting... we need more recipes...

Have you ever made crumpets?

I suppose toasting doesn't count as making them, does it...?

[Toshtishtash 1]

I love crumpets... (With butter and a little sugar sprinkled on the top) I am going to miss them. I bought Chris a best of British cook book a while ago from Marks and Spencers and it has a recipe for them in there. I'm going to have to try them out I think!

Awesome Tash, we do need more people cooking in here! One more week to go - I am so excited for you.

And Fracas, nah, toasting does not exactly count

Well I've found them here...they are actually a Canadian product, but they are true crumpets alright.

Trader Joes and I wouldn't be surprised if Whole Foods has them. I also got them a long time ago from one of the Brit online foodie shops

How to make crumpets

It actually doesn't sound too hard. All I need is crumpet rings really.

Not even an oven is required! Sweet!
