Danish Omelet

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 09:01:44 -0400

This was a regular Sat night dinner served with good crusty bread. It has a heavier texture than a French omelet, more like a frittata. Good for lunch or Brunch I often use slivered ham steak on top instead of the bacon or the streaky pork - just a bit less fat -- posted by Bergy

Danish Browned Cabbage With Caraway

Sun, 23 Sep 2001 15:35:54 -0400

This cabbage goes well with pork. It is a traditional Danish dish. The caraway gives it a lovely flavor. You do not add any water with this recipe. It is cooked on the lowest number on your stove - there is enought moisture in thc cabbage that comes out as it slowly cooks. I cover the pot after adding the caraway seeds. Remember to stir each time you pass the stove. -- posted by Bergy

Danish "Brun Kager" Brown Cookies

Fri, 02 Nov 2001 16:29:19 -0500

Traditional Danish Christmas cookie. They have a wonderful spicy flavor that stays with you long after you eat it - It's the taste of Christmas to me. Sometimes it is tricky to slice the cookies, especially if you did not wrap & seal them well, then they tend to crumble. Seal them well and leave them 2 weeks in the fridge and you shouldn't have any trouble -- posted by Bergy

Danish Christmas Rice Porridge

Mon, 12 Nov 2001 18:45:30 -0500

This is a real Danish tradition for Christmas Eve and is served as a first course. When the porridge is almost cooked you make a ceremony, with everyone watching, of dropping one blanched almond in the pot. Whom ever finds the almond in their bowl wins a small present (Chocolate Santa, marzipan figure whatever) The kids love looking for the almond and of course have to eat their porridge in order to find it - no cheating by stirring the poridge in the bowl -- posted by Bergy

Danish Roast Pork

Mon, 19 Nov 2001 09:45:26 -0500

We had this roast every Christmas eve (after the Danish Christmas Rice Porridge) and always served with Red Cabbage & Apples. However, if we had apples in the cabbage, Mum omitted them with the pork. Serve with dark sweet mustard. -- posted by Bergy

Ableskiver - Danish Doughnuts

Sat, 08 Dec 2001 06:59:52 -0500

This is a true traditional Danish recipe. You need a special pan to make them but most gourmet kitchen shops carry these cast iron pans. The pan is round and has round indentations so you can cook 10-12 at time. This can be a breakfast dish (usual time ithey are served), brunch, late night snack or any snack time. Serve with bacon on the side or whatever. Just typing this I want t -- posted by Bergy

Danish Coffee

Wed, 12 Dec 2001 15:27:47 -0500

A nice change from Spanish coffee; although, if you prefer that, just replace the cherry liqueur with Tia Maria or Kahlua. It's also nice with Grand Marnier instead of the cherry liqueur, but then you'd have to rename it! -- posted by Lennie

Danish Krasekager, Marzipan Cakes

Thu, 13 Dec 2001 09:23:07 -0500

Danish Aebleskiver

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 18:24:06 -0500

Found on the Net in response to a request. This information came with the recipe: "Aebleskiver - a Danish dessert, like doughnut holes, but sweeter & much better traditionally served with glogg during the Advent. Cooked in a cast iron pan that resembles an egg poacher. Serve hot with syrup, jam or powdered sugar." -- posted by Lennie

Danish Braised Cabbage

Sun, 24 Feb 2002 17:07:34 -0500

This red cabbage recipe is a tangy addition to meals, and it's quite easy to prepare. Note that the flavor deepens and improves if you prepare the dish a day ahead, refrigerate it, and then reheat it on the stove or in a 325-degree oven before serving. -- posted by Mille®

Mom's Danish Potato Salad

Thu, 28 Feb 2002 18:11:24 -0500

A easy-to-make inexpensive potato salad. The homemade dressing for this is really good and I feel what makes it so good, and works equally well with macaroni salad. This is my mom's recipe, and her mom made it before her. I use about 6 hard-boiled eggs because I like my potato salad with more eggs. The prep and cook time is only a estimate, as I've never timed how long it takes to make this. If you use mayo instead of Miracle Whip I'd suggest starting with only 1 T. sugar and adding more to taste as mayo is sweeter than Miracle Whip. And of course please feel free to adapt this recipe ingredient-wise to your familie's preferences. -- posted by Teresa M

Scandinavian Hash (Biksemad)

Thu, 02 May 2002 21:00:03 -0400

Great recipe for re-cycling left over roasts etc. Add some peas or some mushrooms, Any left over veggies. The egg is optional but don't miss out on it -- posted by Bergy

Scandi-Burgers

Wed, 08 May 2002 16:26:09 -0400

Open faced "Scandinavian style" burgers - a change of pace from a plain, old hamburger! A tribute to Ballard (a Seattle area neighborhood) and Scandinavian folks everywhere. :) -- posted by Julesong

Danish Gravlaks (lox) Cured Salmon

Tue, 03 Sep 2002 17:47:57 -0400

This is traditionally part of any Danish Smorgaasbord., Also wonderful for any recipe calling for Lox - appetizers etc. The wine and cognac cures the raw salmon. This cannot be compared to smoked salmon the process is very different nor do I recommend grilling it. It is ready after curing sliced very thinly. It is wonderfull on a bagel with cream cheese, chopped sweet onion , capers and served with scrambled eggs. -- posted by Bergy

You can start the first 30 minutes of roasting at 400F then turn to 375F for the balance of the cooking time. Your goose should not be over 10 lbs or it could be tough -- posted by Bergy

Vine Torte or Prune Cake

Sat, 16 Nov 2002 20:12:27 -0500

This was made every year in my household at Christmas time. It is an Icelandic cake, but variations are made by a friends mom who is Ukrainian. Very Rich, and Very Good! (Cook time is actually how long it needs to sit) -- posted by K & K's mom

Rutmus

Sat, 06 Dec 2003 20:00:40 -0500

I love this, though I will admit that for some it is an acquired taste. I like to top mine with lingon berry sauce, whole cranberry relish would do. It is pronounced 'Rootmoose' or 'rut-Muss' depending on where the speaker is from. I am from the states so I tend to say 'rootmoose'. -- posted by KookieMomster

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 22:03:05 -0500

These sparkling Scandinavian style Christmas biscuits-cookies look just magical, especially when hung with ribbon from the Christmas tree! You need special snowflake biscuit-cookie cutters, and also edible glitter or sparkling silver or white dusting powder. If you cannot source edible sparkle or glitter dusting powder, they still look beautiful if decorated with white royal icing, piped into trellace work patterns to enhance the snowflake shape. These magical snowflakes make ideal Christmas gifts, and can be packaged in cellophane bags with a pretty and seasonal ribbon attached. They last for up to 14 days in an airtight tin & stored in a cool place, assuming they last that long! -- posted by French Tart

Danish Wedding Tower (Kransekage)

Traditional wedding cake made with Odense marzipan or almond paste. For Birthday parties or other big gatherings, it is shaped as a cornucopia, and filled with chocolate. Contact me for further information. Make it early, and freeze without the icing before assembly, it gets even better that way. The bride and groom, gets the top ring, and the bridal figurine, and share it, then guest break pieces of, as it is passed from coffee-table to coffee-table. Prep time does not include resting time or icing or decorating time. -- posted by Benthe (Danish)

Danish Ebleskiver (Buttermilk Recipe)

Tue, 26 May 2009 01:59:15 -0400

This is a traditional Danish recipe, from my husband's family. This REQUIRES the use of an ebleskiver iron or monk's pan. It's basically little fluffly ball-shaped pancakes. You can fill them with fruit jams, applesauce, or have them plain with a dusting of powdered sugar. My kids LOVE them! -- posted by Mrs. Odneal <3
