Bacon and Sausage Hash

Jansson's Temptation

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 21:27:34 -0400

This is originally a Swedish recipe, but it has been a Finnish favourite for a long time. It's unsure who Jansson was - some say it was a pastor and this dish was his only temptation - but suffice to say that it's quite delicious. Traditional recipe has julienned potatoes, but if this seems like too much work you can thinly slice them too. -- posted by kolibri

Freshly Salted Salmon

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 21:29:43 -0400

This is raw fish, marinated in spices. For me this would be served especially at Christmas, but it's so nice there's no reason why not to eat it any time. Traditionally you do this with a whole salmon, but that's not always practical! -- posted by kolibri

Pea Soup

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 21:30:10 -0400

You don't get much more traditional Finnish food than pea soup on every Thurday followed by an oven pancake with strawberry jam. The tradition stems from times when Friday was a Catholic fast day so on Thursdays you needed to eat something that would keep you going for an extra day. -- posted by kolibri

Pikkuleipienperustaikina (Finnish Butter Cookie Dough)

Mon, 12 Sep 2005 19:14:02 -0400

Oh, yum. This is so good. I usually make this around the holidays and it's used as a base for several differant cookies such as Hindbaerkage (Danish Raspberry Ribbons), Mandelkaker (Norwegian Almond Cookies), and PahkindIeiva (Finnish Nut Logs). Or you can just cook it up as it is, and decorate with colored sugar. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05 -- posted by Amis

Suomalaisruisleipä (Finnish Rye Bread)

Tue, 13 Sep 2005 10:13:28 -0400

I've always loved rye bread, and this is a good one. Especially spread with a bit of cream cheese. It's also good served with Kesäkeitto (Finnish Summer Vegetable Soup). Prep time also includes time needed for the dough to rest. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05 -- posted by Amis

Scandinavian Summer Vegetable Soup

Sun, 23 Oct 2005 19:31:16 -0400

This is a beautiful and delicious vegetable soup! Everyone at my home loves it, and guests always ask for the recipe. Don't be thrown off by the radishes...they do not have a strong taste in the soup at all, and have a wonderful taste when cooked in the soup. You can top it with shredded cheese if you like...Serve with crusty french bread or yeast rolls! Enjoy! -- posted by breezermom

Finnish Salmon Pasties Lohipasteijat

Wed, 21 Dec 2005 09:23:59 -0500

Not just for company, these flaky pasties are often served after sauna with a glass of milk, lemonade, or a mug of beer. This dough is very easy to work with. They make perfect appetizers for a party, as you can assemble them ahead, refrigerate or freeze them, and bake them just before serving. -- posted by Olga Drozd

My Mum's Apple Pie

Mon, 09 Jan 2006 19:41:12 -0500

The only real kind of apple pie, finnish-style I guess. This isn't what most people, especially americans, are used to but it's delicious and tastes just as good after being frozen and melted as it did freshly baked. Can be served both hot and cold (I quite like it when it's still a bit frozen). -- posted by JohannaR

Sun, 11 Jun 2006 20:48:46 -0400

This is a traditional Finnish cookie recipe that originated somewhere in the countryside of Western Finland. The cookies are sweet but very dry, so be sure to have a supply of milk at hand! The recipe works well with low lactose or lactose-free butter. -- posted by Torbjorn

Finnish Cabbage and Tofu over Rice

Wed, 05 Jul 2006 16:02:38 -0400

This is from "Sundays at Moosewood," with a few minor changes. The recipe as written calls for pressed tofu, but I like to freeze the tofu instead. When it's thawed and the moisture has been squeezed out, the texture changes to chewy and firm, rather than slippery and mushy. I always use the one-pound blocks stored in water, rather than the silken type. -- posted by Aunt Cookie

Ohrarieska (Finnish Barley Flatbread)

Fri, 07 Jul 2006 15:01:29 -0400

From "Great Whole Grain Breads" by Beatrice Ojakangas. This is really, really fast and tasty...I like it with butter or cream cheese. You can find barley flour in most natural food stores and many large supermarkets. -- posted by Aunt Cookie

Cauliflower Rye Casserole

Mon, 10 Jul 2006 13:53:24 -0400

Yeah, I know this looks a little odd, but it's really good. "Sundays at Moosewood" describes it as a baked cheese fondue...I suppose that's pretty accurate. -- posted by Aunt Cookie

Finnish Chocolate Pudding

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 18:46:19 -0500

Is there a Zaar World Tour III in our future? Just in case, I'm posting this one as every region needs a good chocolate recipe. Quite different from most puddings as farina, not cornstarch is used as a thickening agent. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Finnish Spinach Soup (Pinaattikeitto)

Fri, 17 Nov 2006 18:42:07 -0500

One of my favourite lunch soups! Great mild taste, features good-for-you spinach and quick to make; you can make the soup while the eggs are boiling. This soup also seems to be the #1 opinion divider in the country - about half the people (like me!) love it, while the other half (like my husband!) think it's a complete abomination. I think it's just due to the spinach though. ;-) -- posted by stormylee

Sweetened Potato Casserole (Imelletty Perunalaatikko)

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 17:12:55 -0500

The traditional way of making one of the Finnish Christmas staples. Flour is added to warm, mashed potatoes and the mixture left to stand in a warm place for several hours. The amylase in the flour begins to break down the potato starch into sugars, sweetening the dish. Now, try as I might, I can never get it to work well enough and have to resort to the modern way of adding treacle!! So, I'm listing it as an optional ingredient! -- posted by stormylee

Finnish Jaakkos Dream Torte (Jaakon Unelmakaaretorttu) Cake Rol

Jaakko Kolmonen is a chef on Finnish television. His rolled cake is delicate and simple to make. Use whatever fresh fruit or berries in season. Finns often use a finely textured, fresh milk cheese called rahka in combination with whipped cream in cake fillings to stabilize the cream. Ricotta makes an acceptable substitute. -- posted by Olga Drozd

Growing up as a young girl, my best friend's mom would make these. She was born in Finland and came over to America as a young girl and was raised in Ishpeming, Michigan. The family migrated out west after she married and had her own family. Her kitchen always had the most wonderful aroma of good things baking. Her pasties and braided bread were the best! -- posted by Alskann

Norwegian Cloudberry Cream With Lavender and Vanilla

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:23:25 -0400

This is a twist on the traditional way of serving cloudberries in Norway, I have added lavender and vanilla to enhance the ephemeral flavour of this delicate arctic berry. A member of the rose family, cloudberry bushes produce delicious yellow/orange berries that are highly prized in Scandinavia. Smaller than blackberries and raspberries, cloudberries are picked at the end of July and the beginning of August. The cloudberry is almost exclusively sold fresh or made into jam, but it's also used in liqueurs and as a filling in sweets and chocolates. They are difficult to substitute - but I imagine raspberries or lingonberries would be a lovely idea if you cannot get cloudberries. -- posted by French Tart

Strawberry Snow

An eggy, buttery, oven pancake. This looks so good, I can't wait to try it. Putting the recipe hear for safe keeping. I got it off Erin's kitchen blog. Hope she doesn't mind. Update: Finally got to make this deliciously ooey, gooey pancake. I also added a dash of vanilla and would also recomend decreasing the butter to about 6 tbs from 8. I also preheated the oven to 400 degrees to melt the butter and then decreased the temp to 350 when I put the batter in. Oh so yummy! I will update the ingredients below so that the nutritional information is correct. -- posted by C. Taylor

Dinner Rolls in One Hour

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:10:35 -0500

This is from Beatrice Ojakangas' Great Holiday Baking Book. I own several of her books due to our common Finnish heritage. She says, "You really can do these rolls from beginning to end in an hour! I use the food processor to mix the dough and hasten the rising by using rapid-rise yeast. This yeast is so finely milled that it dissolves right in the flour mixture, and it can stand a higher temperature, giving the dough a boost for the single necessary rising." These were handy when my step-sons lived with us, and of course, they loved them. -- posted by mersaydees

He did taste it though, so he knows what he's missing!

Finnish Beef and Dumpling Soup (Klimppisoppa from Finland)

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:55:11 -0400

This is from "The Best of Finnish Cooking." The author wanted to put together all of her Finnish recipes so that her sons could continue the family traditions and have those wonderful things to eat. This soup is a specialty of Western Finland. I haven't made it yet. Times are just guesstimates because I have no idea how long it would take for potatoes to cool as she mentions. -- posted by Debbie R.

Finnish Dried Pea Soup (Hernekeitto - Finland)

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:55:53 -0400

From the "Best of Finnish Cooking". The author put together her recipes so that her sons would always have the Finnish recipes/dishes at hand. I haven't made it yet. I like the short list of ingredients. Time does not include the overnight soaking. -- posted by Debbie R.

Sailor's Beef Casserole (Merimiespihvi) - Finnish

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:55:59 -0400

This is from the "Best of Finnish Cooking". The author put it together to pass on her heritage to her sons. I haven't tried it yet. The meats listed need long, slow, low-heat simmers, otherwise they'll be tough and not very good. It's something you can't rush. Finnish food is salty, but use your own judgement and discretion when it comes to the amount that you use. Two teaspoons would be too much for me personally. -- posted by Debbie R.

Finnish Beef Ragout (Palapaisti - Finland)

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:56:05 -0400

This is from "Best of Finnish Cooking", which holds the author's Finnish recipes for her sons, so that they can always have these dishes. I haven't tried this yet. The only other recipe that uses allspice and heavy cream had cumin in it, which isn't Finnish at all. This dish is often served with browned rutabagas and boiled potatoes. Simmering the ragout can be done on the stovetop or inside the oven. The great thing about round steak is that it is a cheaper piece of meat. However, a long, slow, low-heat simmer is necessary to make it tender. Don't try to rush with higher heat. -- posted by Debbie R.

Finnish Browned Rutabagas - (Paistetut Lantut - Finland)

This is from "Best of Finnish Cooking." I haven't made it yet. It's usually served with roasts. -- posted by Debbie R.

Finnish Rauma Cookies (Rauman Piparkakut - Finland)

Sun, 31 May 2009 20:12:01 -0400

This is from "Best of Finnish Cooking", a cookbook by which the author is passing on Finnish cooking heritage to her sons. I haven't tried it yet. It differs from the other piparkakut recipes in that it doesn't use corn syrup. I think the sour cream in this one takes the place of it. -- posted by Debbie R.
