Montgomeryklieren

Montgomeryklieren is a traditional Dutch dish originating from the province of Friesland. The name "Montgomeryklieren" translates to "Montgomery's kidneys," named after the British general who fought in the Battle of Waterloo. The dish consists of a large, round, and crispy pastry filled with a savory mixture of minced meat, onions, and spices. The pastry is typically made from a dough of flour, water, and sometimes eggs, which is then rolled out and shaped into a circle. The filling is placed in the center, and the edges of the dough are folded over to create a sealed pocket. The Montgomeryklieren is then baked until golden brown and crispy.

The dish is often served as a snack or appetizer, accompanied by a cold beer or a glass of wine. It is a popular street food in Friesland and can be found in local markets and food stalls. The Montgomeryklieren is also a staple at traditional Dutch festivals and celebrations, where it is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Its unique combination of flavors and textures makes it a beloved dish in Dutch cuisine.
