A moist and flavourful stuffing makes an impressive but simple meat dish. Top with an apple or calvados drizzle if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers as it slices beautifully the next day. Recipe here: http://www.mushrooms.ca/recipes/
This is the Layered Potato Casserole (Hungarian Rakott Krumpli) recipe which I've learned to make it from my Hungarian mother-in-law. Some families have a different version, but after you've made it the first time, you will know how you want to modify it to make it your own personal taste. It is a very delicious and hearty comfort food, a little heavy but it can last you for the entire day. This dish is essentially requiring the sour cream. In Hungary, it is called tejföl in English Smetana. As it is a dairy product that is produced by souring heavy cream, Smetana is easily found in Central and Eastern Europe. (It is not the same type of (Heinz) sour cream which you find in Singapore)
Ingredient estimated for 4 servings:
1 kg medium sized Potatoes
4 medium sized Onions
6 Eggs
300 grams Smoked Sausage with Paprika
500 ml Sour Cream
100 ml Yoghurt (Natural or Original)
3 tablespoonfuls of breadcrumbs
300 grams Smoked bacon strips
Salt
Preparation:
1. Wash the potatoes and boil them in a pot of water until soft.
2. Rinse the water away and peel off the potatoes skins.
3. Slice it and set it aside for layering when all the ingredients are ready. Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC.
4. Add salt to another pot of water and boil the eggs.
Salt is to allow it to be easier to peel off the shells. Hardboiled eggs take about 11 minutes.

The stroopwafel was first made in Gouda either during the late 18th century or the early 19th century by a baker using leftovers from the bakery, such as breadcrumbs, which were sweetened with syrup. The stiff dough for the waffles is made from flour, butter, brown sugar, yeast, milk, and eggs. Medium-sized balls of dough are put into a heated waffle iron and pressed into the required uniformly thin, round shape. After the waffle has been baked, and while it is still warm, it is split into thin layered halves. The warm filling, made from syrup, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, is spread between the waffle halves, gluing them together.

Did you know that Burek goes as far back as the Ottoman Era and was a popular part of the Ottoman Empire cuisine, and that in 2012 The Guardian ranked Burek as one of the top 10 best street foods in the world? It is the biggest Balkan Street Food and spreads as far as the Mediterranean and eastern Europe – although some say that it originates from what we now know to be Turkey.
