When days are getting darker and colder it is time for some autums recipes. One of the most popular recipes in Germany is the 'Zwiebelkuchen'. It translates as 'German Onion Cake', but it is more or less a one-crust pie made with onions. You may change the ingredients as you wish - at least it is all only a question of taste.
It's the perfect dish if you have guests coming and like to enjoy some wine. All sorts of wine go down well with it - it's originally made in those regions where wine is being produced. Enough of the talking now. Let's get ready for some easy cooking. Read through the recipe and you will learn that it is a no-brainer - something for beginners.
Ingredients:
- Ready made yeast dough (or you prepare one by yourself)
- 2 lb Onions
- 2 oz Bacon (cut into small cubes or pieces)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons of Sour Cream
- Salt, Pepper, Sugar, Caraway
- Butter
- Some strong tasting cheese (optional)
This is how you do it:
- Spread the dough in a baking pan, so that there is sufficient space for the filling.
- Stir two eggs and two tablespoons of sour cream together, add salt, pepper and the caraway. You may also use some nutmeg and/or a teaspoon of instant broth ... it is not really needed, but i like it.
- Peel the onions, cut them into cubes, put them in a pan and bake them with butter until they are starting to become brown. Add one tablespoon of sugar and keep on baking for about 2 to 5 minutes.
- Cut Bacon into small pieces or cubes.
- Mix the baked onions with the sour cream & eggs, add the bacon and fill it all into the baking pan - onto your dough.
- Grate a little bit of cheese (whatever cheese you like, it should be one with a very intense taste) and spread it on top.
- Put it in the oven for about 45 minutes and enjoy the whole thing while it is still warm.
