Straw 'n' Lohme (Straw and Clay)

A rustic meal, for uncomfortable days.

Cook a normal portion of peeled potatoes. Then crush, or chop with the dough mixers of the mixer. But not with milk, as with mashed potatoes!

Then add about the same amount of sauerkraut (whether cooked or raw). Refine with laurels, vinegar and / or nutmeg, depending on your taste, or enjoy "pure". Finished!


This dish is eaten with meat or black pudding, with mustard, boiled ribs, or just like that. Makes you very tired and warms well from the inside.

Remnants can also be kept warm two days later in a non-stick pan.

The name is taken from the Middle Hessian language of the early builders. The dish looks similar to the "filling mass" of half-timbered houses. ;-)
