The things you can do with minced meat! My Dutch-Indonesian mother used to make a splendid frikadel pan, a loaf based on minced meat, potatoes, soy sauce and nutmeg. If I may say so, my bobotie, isn’t bad either. This South-African loaf from curried meat and fruit — mango chutney, abricots — is the quintessential comfort food, just like the frikadel pan and the meat loaf I discovered recently at Dis. This brand new dinner shop offers a tasty meatloaf including pecans. Slices of it are served with bread, tomato sauce and rocket. This juicy lunch made me return for the dinner bestseller too: the pumpkin lasagne. I was seriously tempted by the other no-frills seasonal meals too, such as the cassoulet with lamb. Funny/interesting/weird/cool — delete where not applicable: if you’re not into carbs, just ditch your ‘carby’ sidedish and have it replaced by an extra portion of vegetables or salad for free.
