    I am not quite sure whether there is an English name for this recipe. When I was young, we often ate it when we visited my grandmother. The literal translation is "blind finch", so I thought a long time we were eating poultry. I was a little surprised to read in Wikipedia recently that the recipe was originally invented in 1952 by a dutch butcher. So lets call it a Belgian/Dutch speciality.

    Ingredients for 4 "blind finches":

    • 400 grams potatoes
    • 200 grams minced beef
    • 200 grams beef roulades
    • 1 egg
    • 1 small onion for the minced beef
    • bread-crumbs
    • 250 grams of mushrooms
    • 2 dl cream
    • 1 dl white wine
    • 1 tablespoon mustard
    • 1 onion
    • 1 clove of garlic
    • thyme
    • 2 leaves of laurel
    • mixed salad
    • 1 onion for the salad
    • Salad oil and balsamic
    • pepper and salt
    • A thin rope

    Method:

    • Peel the potatoes and cook them.
    • slice the small onion into fine pieces, and mix it together with the egg, salt and pepper with the minced beef.
    • Add breadcrumbs until the mixture becomes solid.
    • Make four pieces of it, and wrap them into the roulades.
    • Tie them together with a rope, so they don´t fall apart when baking.
    • Melt butter in a pan, and bake them on all sides.
    • Preheat an oven at 180°C.
    • Let them bake for another 20 minutes in the oven.
    • Cut the champignons into large pieces and bake them in the same pan with some butter.
    • Slice the big onion and the garlic, and add them to the champignons.
    • After a few minutes, add the white wine, laurel, Thymian, pepper and salt and let it cook until the wine is almost completely reduced.
    • Add the cream and the mustard and let it simmer on low heat.
    • Bake the potatoes in a pan with butter.
    • Season the salad with a finely chopped small onion, salad oil, balsamic and pepper.
    • Serve everything immediately on a warm plate.
