Dutch Slavinken # 1

"Simple but very good comfort food. Normally made with just some salt, pepper and nutmeg in the meat filling but I make them different these days and with many variations (just don't tell my mother!). Slavink translates as beatfinch (yes I know its weird) they are wrapped in bacon and another version is blinde vink= blind finch (even weirder) that is the same meat filling but then wrapped in a thin slice of veal. These days often replaced with a slice of beef. Some still name it blinde vink but the right name is runder vink=beef finch. I have tried very hard over the years to understand why they are named like this since I can honestly not see the resemblance of a bird in these sausages and I've never seen one fly away! No Dutch person in their right mind makes them at home since you can buy them ready made from every butcher and in every super market. Now that information should tell you something about the poster of this recipe, who is Dutch.... My excuse is that I lived many years abroad and that is when you crave for the simple dishes of your home country. We eat them here with vegetables and potatoes but they are also good cooked on the barbeque and served on buns with ketcup and mustard."

  1. The first time I made these, I didn't have ketjap manis, so used soy sauce mixed with a little brown sugar (after reading what ketjap manis was supposed to taste like). This added a sweetness that plain soy sauce doesn't give and adds a whole new dimension to the flavor. I've made them several times since, sometimes just with soy sauce, but our favorite way is with the soy/brown sugar mixture. They're delicious either way and they freeze so perfectly, I make extras every time and toss a few bags in the deep freeze for a quick, easy meal when we need it. Thanks for an amazing, easy and delicious recipe!!
     
  2. These were so good! I made them for dinner last night and my husband and boys just gobbled them up! I didn't have Ketjap Manis so I used regular soy sauce, other wise followed the recipe to a T. We'll definitely be making these again, thanks for a great recipe!
     
  3. this was easy to make and perfect for my low carb diet. i think the mustard worcestershire and soy give the meat an extra kick. my bacon didn't want to stay put, next time i will use toothpicks. very tasty comfort food.
     
  4. Very tasty! Followed the recipe exactly (using ketjap manis) and generous amounts of the pepper & nutmeg. My bacon tried to come off while these were browning but I didn't worry about it too much. Served with recipe #83825 tonight but will be trying one of the leftover ones on a bun with ketchup & mustard. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  5. These are so easy to make and taste delicious. I made the whole recipe and froze 4 - These will be tasty with a can of Pork & Beans (there is really no pork). I fried them over medium heat -covered them fore the first 10 minutes, turning them often-Uncovered for the last minutes to brown them well Thanks Pets for anther good recipe. 25 July 09 My Dutch butcher makes these now but I like your recipe more Pets'

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ...... My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!! It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name. My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!! I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language! I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy) Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor. Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making. She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar. She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated. <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/completedbanner.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/4treasurehunt.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
