When I grew up we had a small problem in the family.
My sister would only eat one thing. Spinach mash with meatballs.
My brother and I ended up eating this at least 3 times a week. (And my sister 7 times as far as I can remember.)
You would think I can no longer see mash but it's the opposite.
It's the one thing I sometimes crave. Even more than Steak.
Tonight was such a night of cravings.
My favourite mash is endive mash.
The Dutch cuisine is non existence and maybe not even pretty to look at. But it's the food of my youth and I love it.
So for this one time I'll show you my favourite mash.
I hope that's ok.
Here we go.
The main ingredients are pretty simple. Potatoes, Endive, Ground beef and bacon.
Prepare the potatoes. Boil with Salt for 20 minutes. But Mark? Where is the pressure cooker? When I grew up we didn't have such device so I'm keeping it authentic :)
I love mash with meatballs. I added salt, pepper and mustard to the meat.
Start frying the bacon until golden brown.
Prepare the endive while the rest is cooking. Quarter and slice in thin pieces. Put it in a big bowl of water because there is loads of earth and salt in them. I use a salad spinner to dry the endive. After put it in a pan and shrink it. Keep some of it on the side(add it raw to the mash, it gives a nice texture).
Warm up some milk with butter in a pan. Adding cold milk will cool of the dish to much.
Bringing it all together. Mash the potatoes with a masher.
Add the rest of the ingredients one by one.
End result (with and without gravy). Admittedly it's not the most sofisticated food on the planet but I love it.
