This recipe comes from a German friend of mine who lives in Bavaria, and is delicious served with sour cream, dumplings or noodles - oh yes, don't forget the crusty sourdough bread as well!

"Another traditional dish from Austria, which is rather easy to make, even though a bit time consuming, but the effort is absolutely worth it.
