Just because the helicopter fly-overs and company mandated work-from-home days are in the past doesn’t me we have to turn our back on the final fourteen dishes inspired by the countries of NATO.
Previously, we brought the national dishes of Slovenia and Hungary to life in our home kitchens. Thanks to the Galloping Gourmet and a good deal of cookbook research we can take a look at the remaining stand-out NATO centric dishes; the field is just as rich this week!

Quick Currywurst
Bringing the taste of traditional German street fare to your next back yard barbeque is a snap. Simply grill up some Bratwurst and serve it alongside this quick and nationally recognized condiment.
1 ½ C Ketchup
3t Curry powder
1t Worcestershire sauce
Warm the ketchup over low heat and whisk in the curry powder and the Worcestershire sauce until warmed through and grainy looking. Serve sauce immediately alongside hot brats or knockwurst or cool the sauce and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
