Burning Love ~ Brændende Kærlighed

Wednesday, 11. November 2009, 05:09:53

,

Burning Love - or "Brændende kærlighed" in Danish - is a very simple traditional Danish dish, that are usually containing too much fat for my likings. But it's simple and fast - so I've modified the dish a bit, so it's less fattening. :D

So - here goes: ZRS ~ Zaphira's Recipe Service ~ proudly presents:

Zaphira's Burning Love

For two servings you'll need:

Half a kilo potatoes
2-3 carrots
100 ml low fat milk
Salt

1 large onion
150 grams of bacon
1 large sausage or two small ones

Peel the potatoes and cut them into smaller pieces. Peel the carrots and slice them. Boil them in the same cooking pot for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender (?)

While the potatoes are boiling, peel the onion and chop it. Chop the bacon into bitefriendly bits. I buy a whole piece of bacon and remove the top row of fat - then it's not going to swim in grease. :D Cut the sausage into smaller bits as well, and fry it all on a pan.


When the potatoes are ready, drain them from water. Put them into a bowl, add the milk and mash them with a mixer. Add salt.


Serve and enjoy. :chef:


Easy dinner - it tastes good and it takes half a hour to cook it. :up:

Requiem for a DreamLove Bites! :D

Yummy.
:smile:

The Dark Furie 11. November 2009, 05:32

What happens to the carrots? Mashed with the potatoes or served seperately?

Sounds like my kind of food (minus the carrots). Simple, filling and flavourful. As much as I love cooking sometimes you just want to make something that takes barely any thought or timing, and yet still have a good meal. :up: I might try a version of this soon.

The Dark Furie 11. November 2009, 05:33

Hey, you have the white version of our black plates. :up:

Darkest Hour 11. November 2009, 06:46

That looks good... might give it a try :chef:

Kitty 11. November 2009, 06:46

@ Carol ~ It's yummy indeedy! :smile:

@ Mik ~ The carrots are mashed with the potatoes - I put them in so there's at least some kind of vegetable with the dish. :D
You have black square plates? :envious:

Kitty 11. November 2009, 06:47

@ DH ~ Please do. If you do, please let me know what you think. :smile:

Darkest Hour 11. November 2009, 06:50

You can do something similar with jacket potatoes, bake em, split em, scoop em out, then mash up the veg with the potato, add bacon (fried), put it back in the jacket and sprinkle with cheese, replace in oven til the cheese just browns...

Kitty 11. November 2009, 06:53

Mmmmmm.... That sounds great too.! :yes:

<<thank god I already had breakfast>> :lol:

Darkest Hour 11. November 2009, 06:55

The skins are great with a little olive oil brushed over them and a sprinkling of rock salt... :wink:
Hows the bike? hibernating yet??

Kitty 11. November 2009, 06:58

Bike is fine - I'll drive it to its safe and warm winter place later this week, possibly Friday if it's not raining there.

*sighs*

I'm going to miss her. awww

Darkest Hour 11. November 2009, 07:00

Its a terrible time... :cry: It will be spring soon enough :yes:

Phantom2 11. November 2009, 07:01

ummmm.....mashed taters and sausage. :up:
Add cucumber and tomato salad and a glass of red wine...Oh Nellie! :happy:

Kitty 11. November 2009, 07:36

@ DH ~ This is one very huge reason that I always long for spring! :happy:

@ Phantom ~ Did I manage to get you hungry? :D

r♡se 11. November 2009, 08:25

Mmmm... that looks good! I especially like the name :D.

As for the plates - I have similar ones but grey :wink:.

Yes, among other things! :D

Kimmie 11. November 2009, 08:56

I am not much of a carnivore, but this looks wonderful!

Kitty 11. November 2009, 09:24

@ Rose ~ I like the name too! :happy: I have no idea why it's called that, though.
It seems that square plates are more popular than I thought. :D

@ Phantom ~ :lol: Okay, you're good at making me curious! P:

@ Kimmie ~ Thank you! :happy: I really like the simplicity of this dish! :yes:

Martin K 11. November 2009, 09:48

Herrelækkert!

Kitty 11. November 2009, 09:48

Ha, jeg vidste du ville sige dét! :yes:

Hermitess 11. November 2009, 13:06

Looks Tasty!!
yummmy

Carol 11. November 2009, 14:50

:smile:

Kitty 11. November 2009, 15:05

Thank you Hermitess. :smile:

der Wandersmann 11. November 2009, 17:52

Hmmm ... what kinda sausage? I would tend to pick a mild Italian.

And why not carrots?

This genuinely has possibilities.

Kitty 11. November 2009, 18:08

I just pick a sausage that I like, any will do, really, that's what makes this dish so good. :smile:
Carrots are good, and healthy too! :up:

Jurjen 11. November 2009, 18:38

Looks very much to Hutspot (a dutch dish) to me. Which is quite nice, so I guess yours is as well! :D

RedFreya 11. November 2009, 19:04

Sounds like a good recipe for students like me, easy to make and inexpensive. :up: :happy:

Kitty 11. November 2009, 19:25

@ Jurjen ~ That looks pretty similar, yes. :D The traditional Danish dish doesn't hold carrots though, and is way more fattening than the one I've come up with. :D

@ Freya ~ You should try it. Inexpensive food is good. It leaves more spare money for shoes! :yes:

Martin K 11. November 2009, 21:20

I make the dish with the sort of sausages we call 'dead fingers' where I'm from. The small ones, that usually comes from a can.

Hermitess 11. November 2009, 22:05

Are those like Vienna Sausages? Hermit calls them monkey peters. :lol:

Dead fingers, ew. :eyes:

Angeliki 11. November 2009, 22:31

is seems delicious ! enjoy!

:up:

is it better if it stays over night?

Mina 12. November 2009, 04:21

:left: I'm superhungry now

:cry: Pleeeeeeease tell me you gots leftovers?

:D

Kitty 12. November 2009, 06:32

@ Lion ~ Dead fingers?! Eew... cocktailpølser, I presume? Eew man, I never heard anybody call them that before!

@ Hermitess ~ With all the gross names there are for sausages, I feel less and less like eating them. :D

@ Angeliki ~ Thank you. :happy: It can be eaten next day, just as delicious, but it doesn't get particularly better of it. :up:

@ Minnie ~ No, sowwy... no leftovers. awww
:idea: I've got a bun! And a cookie! You want half? :idea:

Martin K 12. November 2009, 07:36

Jeg kommer fra Vejle-egnen, Zaph. Jeg kan ikke gøre for det.

awww

Kitty 12. November 2009, 08:56

Det kan du jo selvfølgelig ikke gøre for.... men alligevel... :left:

Martin K 12. November 2009, 09:28

Mina 12. November 2009, 20:33

:left: :heart: Carbs! :heart:

*gives the bigger halves to Kitty*

:no: I could never do the Akins Diet!

Kitty 12. November 2009, 22:57

Diets suck!

And Atkins diet... you know that Robert Atkins, who invented the diet, was heavily overweight when he died? :D

Darkest Hour 12. November 2009, 23:04

Probably ate too much meat...

The Dark Furie 13. November 2009, 02:37

Probably unbalanced his system by cutting out something the human body needs.

The Dark Furie 13. November 2009, 02:38

Too much. Meat. Surely those words don't go together? I can't make sense of this at all. Learn to punctuate correctly. :mad:

Darkest Hour 13. November 2009, 02:48

Merely a pun on the Atkins meat only diet... Of course you cant eat too much meat... Punctuate ~ the Pun u ate

Mina 13. November 2009, 03:04

Men are from Meat, Women from Carbs...

:left:

Kitty 13. November 2009, 05:12

...and I'm from Catfiania. :happy:

Martin K 13. November 2009, 08:09

It really goes like 'Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, kids are from Pluto.'

And I agree, you can never have too much. Meat.

Mina 13. November 2009, 14:38

Kids are from Pluto? P: Cute. I'd figure dogs would be from there.



The Dark Furie 13. November 2009, 16:06

Kids are from Pluto? *sigh* Time for the talk. Once upon a time a bird met a bee...

Martin K 13. November 2009, 16:34

Yes, I've heard about the birds and the bees. This does not explain following oddities:

1) Kids speak impossible to understand or translate languages with high pitched, really annoying voices,
2) Kids have strange and unfamiliar appearance, short body hight, low body weight, big teeth, etc.
3) Kids seem to be connected by some kind of invisible collective consciousness
4) Kids have superhuman powers which provides them with the ability to manipulate with human beings and small pets

The Pluto Theory is a sensible explanation for these things.

The Dark Furie 13. November 2009, 16:45

That's because kids spend nine months inside a woman, absorbing her evil and weirdness. :left: As the child grows their metabolism increases which pumps the evil around their bodies. They eventually withdraw from it, though not before one final gigantic push of evil weirdness around thirteen years after birth. :up:

Mina 13. November 2009, 17:35

:lol: "absorbing her evil and weirdness"

Martin K 13. November 2009, 18:28

And in stead of breaking out through the rib cage like proper aliens, they choose the complicated way causing traumatizing hours of pain and suffering for both mother and father.
