Caveman’s New Potatoes with garlic and honey
Ingredients:
Dig up a few handfuls of New Potatoes from the vegetable patch. (about one double handful per hungry cave-person.)
While you are out, have the Cavewoman put some wood on the fire and fetch water from the spring.
Pick a large branch of Rosemary from the herb bush at the cave entrance.
Grind up a few of those garlic cloves that has been drying with the onions from the cave ceiling. (3 thumb sized cloves per head.)
Send a fast cave-boy to run over the hill and trade some spear heads for honey from the cliff dwelling honey collectors.
Borrow course sea salt from Fred next um, door.
Preparation:
Boil the potatoes till soft but firm.
Sea salt to taste. In this case, a heavy hand is better.
Slice garlic finely. (a good whale bone knife works well)
Crush Rosemary to bits. (any smooth, flat faced rock will do)
Add a good dollop of honey. Dont be shy. Mix all the ingredients above with the potatoes carefully to not break the potatoes. (it spoils the presentation)
When in Africa, thickly sliced ostrich biltong (real jerky) will accompany the potatoes well. But when in North America, salmon-still-pink-in-the-middle will do the trick.
Voila! Bon appetit
If you really really have to, you can fry the garlic for 20 seconds in a drop of oil. (It takes some of the sting out of the garlic) But in my opinion it ruins the garlic taste. Fry it more than 20 seconds, you may as well be having Earthworm and leek soup with the Flintstones…
[…] Nowadays I only roughly follow that diet, but guess what I do when racing season is looming and I need to lose a few pounds? I buy a 15kg bag of potatoes. Here is a favorite recipe. […]
