Deutchland has more than its fair share of legends; Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Kafka, Freud and Einstein to name a few...and the world would not be the same without them. I feel the same way about Bratwurst and German beer...
Since I am aware that any attempt at making Bratwurst would most likely lead to angst, heartburn and disaster, I picked the Zwiebelkuchen (Onion Tart).Pastry dough is rolled out and baked partially. Bacon is diced and rendered. The bacon fat is used to cook the onions. Sprinkled over with caraway seeds, and pepper the onions and bacon are poured into the base of the tart shell before adding in a batter made of egg, egg yolk, and sour cream. The tart is baked once more till creamy in the centre and crisp on the crust. The caraway seed for those of you that are curious, is Persian cumin and although mild in taste, imparts character to this otherwise simple tart.
Next destination - Greece......
