Tamara made this old Swiss recipe for all of us last week. It is traditionally made by people living high in the Alps (Aelpler means person living in the Alps). My advice is to make it when you have lots of hungry young people around, who can burn off the calories. It is addictive.
Serve with an ice cold white from Oyster Bay.Aelplermakkronen (für 4 Personen) --- the recipe
200 gr. Makkronen ( 1-3/4 c. penne pasta, partly cooked in salted water)
4 Kartoffeln beides in Salzwasser weich kochen (4 large potatoes, cubed and partly cooked in salted water)
200 gr. Speckwürfeli in der Bratpfanne anbraten (4-6 slices (7 oz.) bacon , cut in small pieces and sauted lightly)
400 gr. Greyerzerkäse raffeln (3-1/3 c. grated Swiss cheese)
alle vier Zutaten lagenweise in eine Gratinform legen (spread out in layers in a 9" x 13" baking dish)
2.5 dl. Halbrahm mit Bouillon erwärmen und darüber giessen (1 c. cream mixed with 1/4 c. bouillon, warm and pour over the layers)
4 Zwiebeln in Ringe schneiden, goldbraun dünsten und über die Masse verteilen (4 onions, sliced and fried until almost carmelized, spread over the top)
Eine halbe Stunde bei ca. 150 Grad im Backofen gratinieren (bake covered for 30 minutes at 300 degrees F)
Dazu kann Apfelmus serviert werden (serve with apple sauce)
Conversion Tips:
1. For converting European recipes using weight measures to North American volume measures (e.g. grams and liters to cups and teaspoons), use this website (another tip from Loris). http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/cooking#subs
2. dl. means decaliters
1 deciliter = 1/10 liter = 100 milliliters = 3.4 fluid ounces
10 deciliters = 1 liter
