10 December 2017 go Dutch go gourmette The table is filled with igrediets for a dish that is usually served o celebratory eveigs like Christmas or New Years Eve i The Netherlads. 18 You have t celebrated Christmas i the Netherlads properly if you have t doe Gourmette. Each year, millios of people i the Netherlads gather aroud their idividual gourmet grillig devices kow as Gourmette at Christmas. Origially the method hailed from Switzerlad, but how it laded i the Netherlads remais a mystery. Similar to Korea BBQ or a Vietamese hot pot, there are tiy little pas ad spatulas for each dier to help prepare your ow miiature steaks, slavik (groud meat), schitzels, ad tiy hamburgers o a searig hot griddle. You ll also fid garlic sauce, garlic butter, ad if you re lucky, pacake batter, ad restig i the wigs o the table, some chopped peppers, oios, ad a bowl of eggs. It s oe of the most popular ways to sped Christmas dier ad about 30 percet of Dutch families cook this way. But let s rewid a little, back i 1977, eatig meat was ot a daily routie, but meat for Suday suppers. It was somethig special to eat meat ad cheese fodue was more popular, so the Dutch Meat Office sought a way to make people cosume more meat ad teach them how to do it. Gourmette seemed like the perfect way for butchers to sell more meat but most people are uaware of the two idividuals to whom we owe this holiday traditio: Huub Oudshoor ad To Boer. The duo toured aroud the Netherlads for over 20 years to proselytize to Dutch housewives ad locals schools about this fast ad easy cookig method. The impetus behid the tour was that they had bee hired as represetatives of a butcher s iterest group ad were also commissioed by the Dutch meat idustry. Boer ad Oudshoor were cosidered celebrities at the time. Frequetly o radio ad i the ewspaper, their ifluece resurfacig every year, from the Christmas issues of Dutch food magazies ad supermarkets, where you ca save up for a complete package of meats to cook with. Gourmette meat dishes It s best to opt for meat that does t require much cookig beef steak, small strips of chicke or thily sliced turkey fillet are a good choice. Place the differet types of meat ito separate bowls ad set o the diig table immediately before dier, i order that it stays ice ad fresh. Cosider servig with a variety of yummy dippig sauces, such as mustard sauce, chilli sauce or garlic sauce. Gourmette vegetable dishes Most people serve their gourmette dishes with a large bowl of mixed salad, but you ca also add a tasty selectio of vegetables. Peppers, courgette, oio ad some thily sliced garlic are all ideal for cookig i gourmette pas with a splash of oil. Alteratively, you ca serve a jar or two of garde peas or strig beas. Gourmette dishes for childre Kids love learig how to cook. Omelettes go dow particularly well, so a bowl of Dutch farmer s omelette mix is a safe bet. Ad, as most kids adore pacakes, a bowl of pacake batter, pourig syrup ad powdered sugar is a absolute must o the gourmette table. Well supervised, they ca ejoy as much as everyoe else. 19

12 December 2017 recipe corer Fig ad Caramelised Oio Crostii Ove Roasted Duck Legs recipe corer 22 Idulget ad sweet, full of flavour ad a excellet light start to a big meal. Igrediets: 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 red oio, fiely sliced, 3 garlic cloves, chopped, 2 tsp soft brow sugar, 3 tsp balsamic viegar, slices of Emmetal, 6 figs, halved, 2 Tbsp clear hoey, a whole baguette, toasted both sides Method: Preheat the ove to 200 C. Heat the olive oil i a pa, add the red oio ad fry over a getle heat for five miutes util softeed. Add the garlic ad sugar ad cook for 1-2 miutes. Add the balsamic viegar ad cook for a further three miutes - the aim is a slow caramelisatio of the oio, brigig out the atural sweetess, almost like a chutey. Place the halved figs oto a bakig tray ad drizzle with a little hoey. Ove roast for five miutes. To serve, add a small slice of Emmetal cheese to the toasted bread, spread a dollop of the caramelised oios ad garlic mix o top of the cheese ad fially top with the hoey-roasted figs. You ca serve this hot or cold. LOOK FOR The luxury of a luscious ripe fig is somethig quite extraordiary. The soft ad yieldig fruit is full of seeds, but the seeds are so small they just add to the uique cruchy texture that makes fresh figs so sought after. Most varieties are itesely sweet, so they get used i desserts. That works, of course, but you ca use that hoey-like sweetess to cut sharper savoury flavours. Black Missio ad Brow Turkey figs are most popular, but all figs are quite fragile. Slightly wrikled, plump, ad eve split figs (as log as they are ot weepig or leakig), are what you wat. A bit of bed at the stem ad a slight weariess to the ski both idicate better ripeess ad flavour. Avoid figs that look shruke, are oozig from their splits, have milky liquid aroud the stem, or are super squishy. Fresh figs wait for o oe, so pla o eatig them withi a day or two of buyig them. They keep best at room temperature with plety of air circulatig aroud them. They will keep a bit loger i the refrigerator, but chillig detracts a bit from their full flavour, so try to avoid it. Why tie yourself to the kitche at Christmas. These delicious traditioal duck legs ca be popped i the ove with little to o attetio util they are fiished ad ready to devour. Igrediets: 1 1 / 2 tsp coarse salt, 1 tsp freshly groud black pepper, 4 sprigs fresh thyme, 1 large or 2 small bay leaves, crumbled, 6 duck legs i.e. 1 leg per servig, rised ad patted dry with paper towels, 2 cups draied caed sour cherries or chuks of caed peaches or apricots. Method: Combie salt, pepper, thyme sprigs ad bay leaf ad rub ito legs, the place i bakig dish i a sigle layer. Cover with clig wrap ad mariade i fridge for 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Pre-heat ove to 165ºC. Remove legs from dish ad rise off mariade. Pat completely dry. Place i a large pa o a medium high heat ad add legs i a sigle layer, ski side dow, turig them over to fiish. Cook util fat begis to reder ad collect i pa, ad ski has browed, about 10 mis. Cover pa with foil ad place i ove. Cook for 2 hours. Remove foil ad retur to ove for 30 mis. Check tederess after first hour. Remove pa from ove, ad remove legs to a large plate. Drai fat out of roastig pa ito a bowl, leavig about 1 Tbsp of fat i pa. Retur legs to roastig pa, ski side up. Retur to ove for a last 30 mis of roastig to crisp ski. If you re addig fruit, 15 mis before duck fiishes cookig, drai fruit ad estle betwee legs. Serve immediately with sliced potatoes that have bee sautéed i some of the duck fat draied from roastig pa. LOOK FOR... There are three types of duck that you re likely to fid at your market. The white peki - teder, mild-flavoured. Muscovy - slightly larger ad more strogly flavoured. Moulard - a cross betwee a female peki ad a male muscovy, maily raised for their livers (foie gras), moulard breasts, called magrets, are cosidered a delicacy by those who prize their large size ad steak-like eatig qualities. White peki is the most commo variety i the average supermarket, followed by muscovy. Moulard breasts are more of a gourmetstore speciality item. 23
