Andreas Viestad's Chicken With Saffron and Cinnamon

Thu, 05 May 2005 16:46:49 -0400

Another wonderful Andreas Viestad recipe, one of few for chicken. He adapted this one from a medieval Icelandic cookbook; the spices indicate that it probably was a dish for the wealthy. Amazingly, the amount of cinnamon is not overpowering here, and the dish is best with "skin-on" chicken. If you don't like chicken livers, substitute 1/2 chicken bouillon cube. Prep time includes a day of marinating (if you choose that option). -- posted by EdsGirlAngie

Prawns in Cream Sauce (Iceland)

Fri, 21 Sep 2007 16:49:03 -0400

When I turned the pg of *Cool Cuisine* (Traditional Icelandic Cuisine) by Nanna Rognvaldardottir & read this recipe, it made me so hungry that I went straight to my kitchen for some food! Per her intro, "This is a luxurious dish! Altho langostines, prawns & other crustaceans now enjoy great popularity in Iceland, this has not always been the case. They were not commonly eaten a few decades ago, but Icelanders discovered these delicacies in a big way in the 1970s & have been making up for their earlier neglect ever since." This recipe has me thinking I should join their mission for our next spec occasion! (Time does not include the 30 min refrigeration time) *Enjoy* ! -- posted by twissis

Too funny! Enjoy it whilst revelling in almost 24 hours of sunlight in Iceland during the summer........maybe pop in a FRESH blueberry or two for a dramatic change! Serve this with a TWIZZLE stick and twirl the night away. (The preparation time is for the strawberries to freeze.) -- posted by French Tart

Easy Tapas

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:47:20 -0400

i often have problems finding the right starter. This is perfect, especially if you have something going on in the oven or are serving a lighter dinner or another variation of Tapas. These are also nice as a late dessert served with some heavier wine as you would do if served as a starter.I often need something good and healthy around 3 or 4 p.m and i have made these and enjoyed a cup of Earl Grey Tea with them. Kids friendly i recommend apple juice. Note: i use light home baked bread, evoo and organic honey for these Tapas. If you honey is hard you can make it liquid again by putting the jar into cooking hot water. ATT!The amounts are of course some kind of guess. It depends on your bread in how many slices you want/ have to cut it. -- posted by Iceland
