The rosti - Perfected

I made my debut on RSG ( my weekly radio slot) with rosti and after all this time, I still get numerous emails and requests of people struggling to make this simple, yet utterly delicious delicacy. You see, a rosti is like an open canvas and last night when I posed the question on Twitter, I was amazed to hear what people eat on their rosti……..
Toppings varied from Cold Gold’s idea for Canadian maple syrup cured bacon from Cure deli with caramel crunch ice cream, bacon and avo to Michael Olivier’s Eggs Benedict. By the end of that Twitter session, my mouth was watering profusely. Of course many people still prefer the old favorite…..Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese, which still is one of my favorites.
As you know by now, we are not eating meat, so that ruled out the salmon, the Canadian Syrup cured bacon and pretty much all things meaty.
My quest was to serve a meal that was packed with goodness from the earth, something that will not only taste darn good, but also be good for your body

My son has found the love of his life…….. WATERPOLO! Phew, I am so happy it is not a girl yet, but this sport is tapping so much from him, that he is losing weight in stead of gaining it. He is building muscle, I hear words like six pack and carves when he talks to dad where and when moms are not allowed. Bottom line, he is tired, they train like crazy and we are now contemplating putting him on some kind of vitamin or supplement. Before I go that route, I will try with smoothies, fruit juices, lots of raw fruit and vegetables and water. So although we all wanted the Bacon and Avocado topping for our rosti, this power packed version was just what the doctor ordered.
Back to the purpose of this post. I know that you will all come up with fantastic toppings and leave some ideas in the comments. I would love to try them all, but this is to teach you the finer know-how of how to make the perfect rosti. Continue Reading
