The meat was a leftover, from a roast, but everyone should have such leftovers! The green vegetable would have been at its best had I moved it from the crisper to the oven a number of days sooner, so, not as spectacular as it should have been, but I did manage to roast the root …

geräucherter Fischaufstrich; kassler; meerrettichkartoffeln
I love the idea of bringing in the first day of the year with a feast. Feasts should be shared, and even if it’s only only 2 guests, it’s enough of an excuse for a roast of some kind. That brings us up to last Tuesday, when two good artist friends joined us for a …
kassler; quince chutney; maple-roasted squash; wild cress
This isn’t a German dinner, in spite of what appear to be some reasonable cues to the contrary. More like American, or, specifically, more like my kitchen. I used my imagination to assemble a meal which would enjoy the accompaniment of the quince chutney left over from our Thanksgiving duck feast, and smoked pork (Kassler) …
kassler, sellerie, meerrettich-gelee; saltzkartoffeln; rotkohl
We had gotten back only the night before, Monday, after being away for almost a week, so the cupboards were almost bare, and Tuesday was not a Greenmarket day. Nevertheless, I knew I could still assemble a decent meal around virtually the only vegetables in the house, a beautiful red cabbage waiting in the crisper, …
kassler, ramps; potatoes, spring garlic; chard, spring onion
Mischling Deutsch. Sure there was Kassler, but the meal was more ‘free’ German than ‘serienmäßig‘ German. It was also very allium-y, spring allium-y in particular: Each of the entrée’s 3 elements included a different local mild spring ‘onion’. The vegetables were superb; both potatoes and chard, like almost everything else, were from the Union Square Greenmarket, …
kassler, scallion, garlic oregano jelly; potatoes; mustard
Is it still ‘Kassler‘ even when it’s not entirely German? I’ve made a working-executive decision: It is. The only thing I worry about when I prepare a meal with smoke pork chops without heating them inside some Sauerkraut is whether they will be juicy. I’ve come up with the solution: keep them covered, and even the tiniest bit of liquid …
Kassler, Sauerkraut; Saltzkartoffeln, Roggen Brotkrumen
Last night, just after we had finished eating, and before writing this post, I followed up on a tweet and reply I had published earlier in the evening that had indicated, with no embellishments, what one of the major parts of this meal would be (I even included an image of the sauerkraut while it was …
Kassler with sauerkraut; boiled potatoes with breadcrumbs
I just now realized what’s really missing in this picture, if not so much in the meal itself. Chopped Parsley (see an earlier version of the dinner). I sometimes forget that parsley (Petersilie) is very much a part of German cuisine, and it would be completely appropriate to find a bit of that herb on the …
Kassler, Senf, Bierkraut; Saltzkartoffeln; Zwei Rauchbiere
It was a snow day. It felt like a holiday. It was also pretty cold outside (and we still haven’t turned on the heat inside), so a warm kitchen felt right. I had all the makings for a traditional German entrée inside the apartment, and we also had some terrific beer. We had a terrific, traditional German …
sunchoke pasta, kassler, red cabbage, shallot, sage butter
Delicious home economics: This was the third meal in which we were able to enjoy some part of a single 5-pound smoked rack of pork (Kassler). I had purchased it to share with friends on New Year’s Day, but over the next 5 days it eventually became the centerpiece of 8 delicious main course dishes, making the cost per serving only …
