Dibbelabbes (potato and bacon pan from the Eifel region)

Dibbelabbes is the rustic potato and bacon pan from the Eifel region - grated potatoes, smoked bacon, caraway seeds and onions fried until crispy in a cast-iron pan. Down-to-earth, filling and inextricably linked to the Eifel-Moselle region. The matching wine accompaniment is pure wine and food: Mosel Riesling QbA semi-dry - fresh, regional, balanced. Easy to prepare and a real classic for cold evenings on the Moselle.
