Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. From the Ries-Kartaeusertal area.

  3. For the dumplings: see Kartauserkloesse (Carthusian Dumplings - recipe separately

  5. Add the cinnamon and lemon peel to the red wine, and bring to a boil.

  7. Serves 4.
