i'm gonna start a recipe thread. why? because up here in canuckistan, the food sucks. yes, you can eat well if you go to nice restaurants, but most people buy (and presumably eat) canned food and microwave dinners. i might be guilty of doing that as well, but i **** it.
so here are some easy and cheap recipes that won't take long so you can eat like a human being every now and then. i hope some of you will contribute (without sarcasm/trying-to-be-funny pussyburger jokes).
1.) frikadellen.
frikadellen are a german version of... well, meatballs, really. except they're bigger.
what you need:
500 grams of meat (beef, or beef and porc mixed)
2 eggs
a small onion
breadcrumbs (or day-old toast if you have no crumbs)
dijon mustard (aka "real" mustard)
butter
put the meat in a bowl, and add the eggs, breadcrumbs, the onion (sliced as small as possible, please), two tablespoons of butter, and a tablespoon of dijon. add salt and pepper if you want to. some people also add chives (chopped, evidently).
mix with your hands until you get a sort of dough.
pre-heat a frying pan on your stove's "high" setting. put some butter in it.
while the pan is heating up, form the dough into fat patties. this is simple: take a chunk into your left hand, and start rolling it with your right. once you have formed a ball, flatten it in your hand. the pattie should be about as big as the surface of your hand, and about an inch/inch and a half thick.
place patties in pan. wait at least 5-7 minutes before turning them over. they're done when they have a dark brown colour on both sides.
this is usually served with pan fried potatoes (use the same pan after you cooked the meat, that way the meat juices and butter will make the potatoes tastier), but fries or rice will also do.
they are never served on a bun, just 'as-is' with maybe more mustard or ketchup.
when we have left overs we eat them cold on the next day, but reheating (microwave or pan) is also an option.
this should take no more than 25 minutes from start to finish to make.

enjoy! :glugglug:
