How to Make Blinde Vinken: Centuries-Old Dutch Recipe of Ground Beef Wrapped in Top Round

Күн бұрын

Learn how to make a recipe that has been made for centuries. For instance, the Middle Ages offered many dishes that were considered a delicacy by some, but would not have been affordable by others due to their cost. One example is small songbirds like finches and sparrows. Due to their high price, it was more common for regular people to recreate these types of recipes and make them accessible by using cheap cuts of meat - ground beef and pounded thin top round - cooked in a delicious sauce. My recipe of "Blinde Vinken" (Blind Finches) allows you to easily make this at home with the proper proportions which will taste remarkably close to what they ate during those times!
After some time, eating songbirds was no longer legal in The Netherlands. From then, everyone started eating this version of it, and it is now one of the most popular meat dishes sold by butchers and grocery stores alike. However, it is s so easy to make it yourself, that even if you don't live in The Netherlands, you don't have to miss out on this delicious dish! The meat is a perfect combination of textures, between the thin outer layer which is browned to perfection, and the deliciously seasoned ground beef on the inside. Add to that the sauce, which is rich with the flavor of the beef, butter, and tomato paste.
Serve the blinde vinken together with some boiled potatoes and vegetables for a quintessential Dutch meal!

Thank you, my grandparents came from the Netherlands, but I never got to cook with my grandma or have any recipes, so I really thank you for this. And by the way, we have a celebrity in the US and his name is Drew Carey and you look a bit like him.

These ones are much better than what you buy in the supermarket or butcher. Usually they weigh only 100 gram.

The ones I remember from when I was young (I am 46 now) are about 1/3rd the size of what you made - the ones I had were wrapped in bacon. I should really make these next year. - oops I just read your answer that there are also slavinken … :) er is nog een 3de vorm van vinken die sommige mensen eten ….. maar die horen niet thuis op een cooking channel :P

Great recipe. I have only had this dish made with bacon instead of the the top round. I will give your recipe a try. Looks delicious.

@ToinesKitchen 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Carolyn! “Slavink” is wrapped in bacon, “blinde vink” is wrapped in pounded out meat.

Yeah, exactly ... slavink == bacon, and blinde vink == thinly pounded-out meat.

Really odd to hear "vinken" pronounced with the "w" sound (in germanic languages) We say it like "Fink"

It’s the “v” sounds as in Victory.

@@ToinesKitchen Afrikaans did divert quite strong from it's Dutch influence. I can follow speech, but find it hard to speak dutch. So Afrikaans I would say blinde vink, or bitter bal (without the 'len' ending the word)
