HOW TO COOK LEIPZIGER ALLERLEI (RECIPE)


Leipziger Allerlei is a German vegetable dish which is very popular in Germany, Austria, Hungary and Denmark. This dish is very similar to what the Filipinos called Chop Suey. Almost the same process of cooking and same ingredients. I think the only difference is the name. But since this is German version of this dish, we are going to make the traditional Leipziger Allerlei or if not, at least to make it close enough to the original recipe. This dish I think originated in Leipzig, I am not sure, I just think about the name so I think this dish originated in Leipzig that is why it is named after the place. There are so many kinds of vegetables or combinations of vegetables that can be used for this dish. You can experiment on this one because the possibility of using the ingredients is almost endless but the key vegetable ingredients for this dish is the carrots, broccoli, cauli flower, young corn, string bean, chayote, mush room, etc. Here is the recipe:
