Having lived through the war with practically no meat available, Germans became vegetarian by necessity!. My grandmother would often cook the following for us:
Sauteed wild mushrooms with scrambled eggs and onions;
Steamed potato with quark (lean fresh yogurt-cheese) and chopped chives on top!.
Gurkensalat (Cucumber Salad); thinly sliced salad cucumber, oil, cider vinegar, salt pepper and dillweed
Freshly picked sorrel and vinaigrette salad (sauerampfer)
(Sweet) grits with puree of freshly picked berries (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, elderberries)!.
Woodruff tea, "wine" or jelly (waldmeister) made from dried plant, or blossoms!.
Rote Gruetze (Red berry coulis or fruit pudding), a refreshing "soupy" dish that can be a main meal, often served with tips of whipped egg white!. Clean 2!.5 lbs berries or cherries, and bring to a boil in 1 qt water and 1/2 cup sugar; dissolve 2 tbsp cornstarch in some cold water, stir in bring to a brief boil until it begins to thicken, lemon zest optional !. Can be eaten warm or cold, also with whipped cream!.
Griesnockerlsuppe, a broth with teaspoon-size grits dumplings!. 1 cup coarse semolina or polenta flour, 1 egg, 3 oz!. softened butter, pinch salt and nutmeg; blend well; refrigerate for 15 minutes; drop by the teaspoon into boiling broth and let simmer for 1-12 minutes; the dumplings are done when they float; serve decorated with chopped chives!.
Flaedle Soup, leftover crepes (German pancakes are thin like crepes), rolled up and cut into thin strips to make "noodles" and served in a broth with chopped chives or parsley!.
Bohneneintopf, stew 2 lb fresh green beans, 1 chopped onion and 1-2 lbs potatoes until done; season with winter savory (Bohnenkraut), salt and pepper!.
Lentil soup, stew lentils with carrots, potatoes and onions in a vegetable broth (Linsensuppe)
Graupensuppe, Stew pearl barley or groats with carrots and onions in a broth, flat parsley for health and decoration
Red beet salad (Rote Beetesalat); marinated red beets sliced on a mandolin, often served with similarly sliced white celery root!.
Spaetzle, recipe and info at: http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A4tzl!.!.!.
served with stewed mushrooms and parsley!.
Rose hip jelly and tea (Hagebuttenpuree, Hagebuttentee); the jelly is instrumental as a filling in German jelly doughnuts (called Krapfen in Bavaria, Berliners elsewhere); recipe at: http://recipegal!.com/other/RoseHipJelly!.!.!.!.
Rice pudding with cinnamon and grated lemon peel (Reisbrei mit Zimt und Zitrone); recipe at: http://www!.cdkitchen!.com/recipes/recs/37!.!.!.
Apfelstrudel (apple strudel); sample recipe at: http://www!.foodnetwork!.com/food/recipes/!.!.!.
but to qualify as a German dish, do not prepare with olive oil, but corn oil or peanut oil, and although it is a nice touch, it is not necessary to serve it with caramel or vanilla sauce!.
We also often eat Birchermuesli!. If you can eat yogurt, then this is a good choice!. It is technically Swiss, but very popular in German vegetarian restaurants, and can be eaten as a main meal, not just for breakfast!. See a recipe at http://www!.about!.ch/culture/food/bircher!.!.!.
