The German Dish has been a specialty in my family for as long as I can remember. In fact, I think it has been passed down through several generations and can be traced to the Ruhr Valley in an area known as Westphalia. I love this dish because all of its flavor comes from a few basic ingredients. I also like it because you can prepare a generous portion for between $10 and $15. As an added bonus, when you are cooking, it it will make your house smell great and everyone will think you really know how to cook. Give it a try. You will be amazed at how simple and easy a great dish can be.
Note: This recipe uses Polish kielbasas because the German version of this sausage may be difficult to find in your average grocery store.
Ingredients:
2 Polska kielbasas, cut into 4 inch pieces
2 large potatoes, cut into 2 inch pieces
3 medium carrots, cut in half lengthwise
2 ribs celery, diced
2 medium onions, diced
1/2 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tbsp black pepper
3/4 tbsp beef bullion
3 cups water
Preparation:
- Add all of the ingredients to a large pot or Dutch oven. Heat ingredients over medium-low heat for about an hour and a half.
- If water starts to boil, reduce heat.
- After potatoes and carrots can become tender, remove the kielbasas and set aside.
- With a potato masher, mash all of the vegetables together in the pot until they are well combined.
- Add the kielbasas back to the pot.
- Continue to simmer over low heat until most of the remaining water has been reduced.
- Serve with hot, spicy or Dijon mustard on the side.
