Beef Stew Pie from a recipe in “essen & trinken” - beef stew is made with diced beef shank, carrots, peas and curry powder.

Once finished you separate the liquid from the solids and use the solids to fill the pie. Pie dough is made with flour, butter, egg, water and vinegar.

The braising liquid is warmed up and spooned over the pie pieces

1 qt water, 1cup sugar, 1/4 cup honey, juice of 1/2 a large lemon or 1 small, 2g black peppercorns for 3 quince peeled quartered and de seeded. Poached for 45ish minutes.

You can be fancier if you want but honestly quince don’t need a lot of help. The light syrup can be reduced when you are done with the fruit as well if you want

something between white kimchi jigae and suan cai bai rou (酸菜白肉汤). cut the kimchi thinly this time and used chicken broth. think the the happy mistake last time was having to give it time to mellow out a bit before serving and not having broth on hand (just dashi powder) - still want to try it with clam liquor, fish and/or pork bone broth. twas a bit sharp this time round. and will use starch noodles next time. maybe try draining/washing the kimchi and skipping the juice. have some stuff to dial in.

Kassler (cured, smoked pork chops) with Beans and Apples - a very German dinner. After searing the kassler you cook it in the oven with onions and thyme in some beef broth. In parallel, you sauté some sliced apples and mix with cider. Afterwards, add the apple mixture and navy beans to the meat in the oven and cook at bit more.
