Norwegian Rice

Wed, 11 Jun 2003 20:05:30 -0400

My dad always makes this for the Holidays and we all love it! I have never made it myself for fear of doing something wrong- it may take a few tries to get it perfect (I wonder how long it took my dad...) Use whole milk for this one- It makes the rice nice and thick! Mmmm...I can't wait until the Holidays are here again! -- posted by Bec

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

Norwegian Cauliflower With Shrimp Sauce - Blomkal Med Reke

Thu, 28 Oct 2004 20:00:11 -0400

My husband recently made this dish for a Scandinavian potluck. As strange a combination as it sounds, it's very tasty and was gobbled up by everybody at the event. Give it a try! This recipe is based on one from an excellent cookbook called "Eat the Norway," where they say: "Should you be invited to an informal evening get-together in Norway - sewing club, bridge party or the like - you may well be served this dish, particularly in late summer when Norwegian cauliflower is at its best." -- posted by Julesong

Delicious! Tart and sweet at the same time! This recipe is old, and I have no idea where it came from...but it is very good. Try it and let me know what your taste buds tell you... This dish goes good with pork of any type. -- posted by silly sally

Norwegian Coleslaw

Thu, 01 Sep 2005 09:17:01 -0400

Sweet and tangy. I found this on a magazine clipping in my grandma's recipe box. I know she used to freeze it, although I haven't tried that yet. The long cook time is the marinating. -- posted by Kaarin

Fried Apples - Stekte Epler

Tue, 13 Sep 2005 15:20:08 -0400

Yummy side dish to serve with any type meat, especially pork. This dish is very popular along the Canadian border as well as with Norwegian immigrants to America and Canada. Try this with a shot of Amaretto added in... mmm... -- posted by mama's kitchen

Scandinavian Mashed Potato and Rutabaga Casserole

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 22:18:14 -0500

(Peruna ja lanttulaatikko) I like the creamy color of mashed rutabagas together with potatoes in this casserole. It can be assembled a day in advance, if desired. -- posted by Olha

Creamed Cabbage- Norwegian Style

Wed, 24 May 2006 22:05:57 -0400

I remember eating this when I was younger. It was the only way I liked cabbage then. This seems to really bring out the sweetness of the vegetable and remove any harshness- which kids just do not enjoy. As a kid it looked like something drenched in gravy or whipped cream- looks are deceiving- but whatever gets the kid to eat the veggie was cool with my mom. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Potato Bake

Wed, 31 May 2006 16:04:27 -0400

This was posted for the Zaar World Tour 2006. Potatoes are one of the staples of Scandinavian cooking, combining the with Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese makes this a wonderful side dish or if you serve it with a side salad it could even serve as a main. If you can't find Jarlsberg you can use gouda, cheddar or whatever your favourite cheese is instead. -- posted by -Sylvie-

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 22:33:40 -0500

Taken from "Kitchen of Light". In Norway this pie is usually made with Jarlsberg or Gouda, but equally good made with Gruyere. -- posted by Elly in Canada

Mashed Rutabaga - Norway

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:45:57 -0400

Called 'swedes' in the UK, and 'rutabaga' in the US, these root vegetables are delicious steamed, mashed, or baked. It's a somewhat sweet vegetable, delicious accompanying roasted meats; the water used to boil it adds something nice to gravies. In the garden, they can be left in the ground a long time after the cold sets in. -- posted by Mme Melissa

A favorite I'm posting from Allrecipes.com. I'm posting this for ZWT III. This recipe was submitted by Finn Roed who stated: "Norwegian Christmas Cabbage is essentially a kind of sweet and sour sauerkraut, spiced with caraway seeds." -- posted by Happy Hippie

Cissy's Stuede Poteter (Creamed Potatoes)

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 00:39:54 -0500

This is a Norwegian dish (my DIL is from Bergen Norway) but a family favorite for us here in the US for many years - especially loved by my youngest daughter who we now call Cissy. It is a great side dish for any meal and super easy to make. -- posted by Sooz Cooks

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:20:20 -0400

I haven't seen any green rice recipe like this one. This dish has been traditionally served at all family holidays. I don't know for a fact that this is a Norwegian recipe, but that is what I have been by my family. -- posted by Tam454
