Uitsmijter (Chucker-Out?!)

Chucker-Out
Uitsmijter
"The Dutch have a lot of odd names for their national cuisine that are untranslatable." Johanna (van der Zeijst) Bates introduces the recipe, "This simple dish is the Dutch equivalent of the North American hamburger. [...] [I]t is merely a pick-me up in nutritious form"(Lets Go Dutch -A Treasury of Dutch Cuisine).

I tried this last night for dinner. It is very simple to put together and it very tasty. It looked lonely by itself so I baked some fries and cooked some peas to cuddle around it on the plate. The recipe actually says to put two Uitsmijter on one plate and that four of these serves two people. This is so filling, I could only finish one (barely). So, I have some nice leftovers...
