WHAT ARE GERMAN POTATO PANCAKES?

Growing up, German potato pancakes were a special treat on our table. Of course, we just called them potato pancakes, but when I asked my mom for her recipe, she looked at me blankly.

“Do you mean latkes?” she asked.

“When have you ever called them latkes, Mom? You’ve always called them potato pancakes.”

Learning how to sear a duck breast is a kitchen skill every meat eater should master. Today we’re diving into how to cook a juicy medium-rare duck breast to top an arugula salad with a zesty French vinaigrette. Delicious!

WHY SHOULD I EAT DUCK?

If you’re a meat-eater, learning how to serve up a juicy medium-rare duck breast is a kitchen skill you will want to have in your arsenal.

Although duck is lumped under the poultry category, it is red meat and it is absolutely delicious.

Did you know that duck is healthy, too?

While duck skin is fatty, duck fat is rich in vitamin K, which is something we should all be striving for in our diets.

Overall, duck is a flavourful nutrient-dense protein that should be way more popular than it is.

Are you new to the Kitchen? If so, there’s something you should know about my recipe videos. I do this little thing called “silent-film mode”, so if you like what you see, I hope you’ll subscribe to my YouTube channel!

DUST OFF YOUR CAST IRON SKILLET

First off, you don’t need a cast-iron skillet to make these homemade meatballs. If you’re finishing off the meatballs in the oven, however, I do recommend using an oven-safe skillet. The reason I recommend cast iron? Because I’m a hardcore fan and think cast-iron cookware is the bee’s knees. It’s easy to work with, it lasts forever, and it’s toxin-free. If you’ve never cooked with castiron ware, I recommend starting here.

Sesame Naan Bread: A Cast Iron Skillet Recipe

January 10, 2020 by Sylvia Rose 2 Comments

It’s time to pull out the cast iron skillet and learn how to whip up a batch of this sesame naan bread. It’s the perfect accompaniment for those winter soups and curries!

CAST IRON SKILLET SESAME NAAN BREAD

If you’ve never had naan before, it’s kind of like pita bread that’s found in many Eastern cuisines.

When I think of naan, Indian is the first cuisine that comes to mind, but it’s one of many.

Traditionally, naan is baked in a tandoor oven, but since I don’t have one of those in my kitchen, I always turn to my trusty cast-iron skillet whenever I’m making a batch. This is also the case when I make flour tortillas and breakfast biscuits, so naan bread is a natural fit.

If you’re new to the world of cast iron cooking, you might want to read up on how to use cast-iron cookware, but if you know your way around cast iron, please, continue. Of course.

It’s also possible to use whatever pan you wish, but I hope you give cast iron a shot!
