The unbeatable Alsatian ‘pizza’ (it’s FALSE, a Flammkuchen / Tarte flambée is what it is not a pizza 😛 ) is a true symbol in our beautiful region of Alsace. It’s even more important for me because my mum used to make it every year for my family birthday party. It’s a real pleasure to enjoy a delicious homemade Flammakuecha (alsatian of saying it) every year in the cold of January (or any other month, as all the ingredients are available all year round).
The recipe is relatively simple, as long as you follow to the proportions and don’t mess up with the dough.
All that’s left to do is enjoy this delicious delicacy from our beautiful region.
It’s THE recommendation for our Alsatian dishes, because it’s economical, quick enough and delicious. You can even make it vegetarian if you can do without the bacon, or add a few other ingredients (not too many either, this isn’t Domino’s Elsass) like mushrooms, cheese (preferably Alsatian), wild garlic, spinach or other ingredients – enjoy!
It can be found in many restaurants throughout the region. Events such as village fêtes or wine festivals are also good opportunities to enjoy it 🙂 But frankly, the satisfaction of making it yourself is simply incomparable. And it’s even better when you share it with friends and family, who are sure to love it 😀
Note: I’ve already seen a few debates about what to name the dish. Honestly, who cares? Personally, I’ll accept anything except Flammeküsch, with its distinctly French accent, which in no way distinguishes our regional dish 😀 But don’t get worked up and say it however you like 😉
Thanks for reading, Un bis a nägschta mol alli tsamma (see you next time everyone) 🙂 !
