Topics Belgian Leek and Goat Cheese Flamiche Blossom Lady Jul 28, 2020 04:33 AM Today I’d like to tell you about Flamiche, a traditional Belgian dish. Well, frankly speaking, the origins of flamiche are disputable. Some say it hails from southern Belgium, while others claim that it is, in fact, a leek pie from northern France. Legend has it that a farmer’s wife from the small Village of Romedenne is responsible. She was walking down the rue Saint Jacques on her way to market when she slipped on an icy patch and broke all the eggs she was carrying. A quick-thinking baker managed to cat... flamiche, belgian cuisine, simple recipe, blossomkitchen Like!

The first bite begins with a deliciously crispy outer coating followed closely with a surprisingly soft cheesy middle. It actually took me several attempts to get these perfect. I played around with different types of cheese and here’s my suggestion: you will need to buy mozzarella cheese from the grocery store, but don’t use the buffalo style, because it will be too soft. Buy the cheese in the brick and it will work just fine.

I recommend buying frozen large shrimp rather than fresh. (“Prawns” and “shrimp,” by the way, are essentially synonyms: “shrimp” tends to be how they’re sold, and “prawns” is a nice way to refer to large shrimp when serving them.) Why? Because at most supermarket fish counters the shrimp are previously frozen anyway, and the quality of shrimp deteriorates the longer they sit after thawing.

First, you boil the potatoes. Then you drain them and brown them in a skillet. Then you sauté onions, and finally you bring it all together in the skillet. All this takes some time, but not a whole lot of work. And it’s worth it. If you follow this process, potatoes will be truly, divinely crisp—which, after all, is the whole point of fried potatoes.

Then for years it seemed to have been banished from all venues except for low-end salad bars and Mexican combo platters. But even though more fashionable species of deeper-hued, smaller, shapelier salad greens replaced it in discriminating culinary circles, in recent years iceberg has made a major comeback as the uber-cool wedge, its mildness offset with a big-flavored blue cheese dressing.
