2011 Oktoberfest inspiration from my kitchen.

I felt guilty using last year's photo's to announce this year's Oktoberfest......... so herewith some up to date inspiration from my kitchen!

Bockwurst with German style Potato Salad ( Kartoffelsalat).

The traditional lighter style potato salad served in Germany is a lot lighter in kilojoules than the rich, mayonnaise version that many of us know. Here is the recipe for the dressing:


Kartoffelsalat


1/3 Cup Olive Oil
2 teaspoons mixed chopped herbs
1/2 Cup Beef broth
1 Tablespoon Vinegar
1 Tablespoon German Mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
3 teaspoons finely chopped onion
4 Large potatoes
Salt and Pepper to taste


Method:
Combine all the ingredients for the dressing.
Boil potatoes until tender and slice while still warm.
Mix potatoes through carefully in the sauce and leave to absorb the liquid for at least an hour.
Season to taste. Chill until ready to serve.

Guten Appetit.....Enjoy your meal.

PROST !!!!! CHEERS !!!!! ( excuse South African beer in a Flensburger Pilsener glass!)

I just love my small collection of traditional German Blue pottery...... a collection worth growing in the future!

Be safe and enjoy any local Oktoberfest celebrations you may attend. Just maybe one year you too will be one of the 6 million visitors to this annual event?

Cheers! Until next year's Oktoberfest blog.
