Swedish Yorkshire Pudding (no, that's NOT a typo!)

Thu, 14 Mar 2002 10:14:14 -0500

A little known fact: Yorkshire Pudding was brought to England by the Vikings. Originally called 'Tjockpannkaka', it was a delicacy eaten only at feasts to celebrate the homecoming of the main fleet of Viking ships. 'Thorsvedt the Berserk' was a Viking warrior who remained in northern England after a particularly bloody battle and passed on the recipe to the natives of the village he had earlier pillaged. This strange food was eaten along with basic vegetables and slices of meat on the Sabbath. Thus the humble Yorkshire pud and the Sunday roast were born! -- posted by Mille®

Mom's Swedish Style Meatballs

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 20:06:31 -0400

This is a recipe I remember my mother making for dinner parties when I was very young. I loved to sneak in and sample a few when she wasn't looking. Mom served this with rice as a main dish. This has a very different sauce from other Swedish meatball recipes I have since tasted -so I am not sure if these are authentically Swedish or not. I just know that they are rich and tasty and there were never any leftovers. I snagged this from Mom's recipe collection. This makes about 30 medium sized meatballs. -- posted by HeatherFeather

Harvard Beets for the Freezer (or Right Away)

Thu, 28 Apr 2005 21:38:34 -0400

The only way to eat beets! When I harvest my beets in the fall I always make up a few batches of this for the freezer-they're just as good reheated and it's a wonderful quick veggie for winter! To prepare fresh beets, I cover them with water, cook for 30 minutes to an hour till tender, then peel and cube. This recipe is a Swedish family tradition. The long cooking time includes the time the beets need to marinate. -- posted by Kaarin

Swedish Creamed Potatoes from Skane (Skansk Potatis)

Mon, 19 Sep 2005 20:41:35 -0400

Swedish potatoes from a cookbook from my Swedish neighbor, Millie. These are awesome but a heart attack waiting to happen! LOL. In order to have bacon drippings I sometimes fry the bacon crisp and then crumble it over the top of the potatoes as we like the extra crunch on top of the creamy potatoes. -- posted by LAURIE

Swedish Brown Beans With Pears

Tue, 20 Sep 2005 08:23:41 -0400

If you can use brown beans (I did find them in my larger grocery store) as they have a sweeter, milder flavor than do pinto or navy beans although either can be substituted. This is excellent with pork chops or baked ham. It takes a while to do but is not the least bit complicated. Cooking time does not include the overnight soaking of the beans. This recipe comes from a cookbook I checked out at the library but it has gone on my Christmas wish list.Prairie Home Cooking. -- posted by LAURIE

This is a recipe I found on a Web site awhile back but don't remember which one...grrr...old age strikes again. Posting this for ZWT II 2006 Scandinavia. Just a note Zandbakeiser tins are little tart tins 2 to 3 inches in diameter with fluted edges, but if you don't want to go out and spend a bunch of money on this just use your mini muffin pans they work just fine. I make these as gifts, for weddings, and so darned many family events...they are delicious are eaten so fast it amazes me every time. -- posted by Chabear01

Swedish Meatballs

Wed, 07 Jun 2006 12:15:41 -0400

Found these on another site that was featuring Scandinavian foods. I made these and added some sauteed mushroom pieces to the sauce, and served this as a main dish over rice. They can also be served as an appetizer in a chafing dish to keep warm. Provide toothpicks for spearing them. My neighbor used to have a Cmas Eve openhouse and served these. She suffered a stroke and has become incapacitated so her recipe is lost. These, if I close my eyes, taste just like hers! So I dedicate this recipe to Joyce....a very dear friend. -- posted by Nana Lee

Swedish Cardamom Meatballs

Thu, 07 Dec 2006 15:48:19 -0500

From a Food Network "Calling All Cooks" segment several years ago as made by Inglill Mutti with my alterations. These are about as Swedish as they get and my once a year MUST make recipe each Christmas season. This joins my Top Ten favorite recipes! Two tips: Cardamom can be expensive & hard to find. I finally found it at "Wild Oats" where bulk spices are sold by the ounce. I also use Tyler Florence's recipe for the accompanying Lingonberry Sauce, another hard to find item. I found 2 brands at Cost Plus World Market, and I also hear it's sold at Ikea if there's one near you. -- posted by San Marcos Sunshine

This is one of my favourite memories from going to my Grandma's house. She would make this every Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday and there were hardly any leftovers.

Scrumptious Swedish Apple Pie

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:26:33 -0400

This doesn't have the typical pie crusts that Americans are used to. Instead, it is more like a coffee cake or cobbler. The batter is mixed with the apples and the whole mixture is baked in a pie plate. Much easier than a traditional crusted pie, and a nice change of pace with a delicious topping. -- posted by Alskann

Swedish Meatballs With Lingonberry or Cranberry Sauce

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 12:53:12 -0400

Swedish meatballs must be the most famous "export" recipe from this fascinating country. I like to think that these are a little bit different, and more authentic than most recipes you see. This is REAL Swedish home cooking at its best - and if you can manage to get hold of Lingonberries, you will notice a wonderful & very subtle difference; however, cranberries will do just as well. These meatballs are perfect served with piles of mashed potatoes or broad ribbon pasta. -- posted by French Tart

Gin and Juniper Cured Salmon - Scandinavian Gravlax

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 14:22:38 -0400

This is a slightly different Gravlax recipe than normal, as it uses gin and juniper for a clean, sophisticated and fresh taste - if you are not keen on gin - you could use vodka instead! Junipers can also be replaced by a few extra peppercorns. Gravlax (pronounced grov-lox) is from the Swedish name for this dish. Norwegians call it gravlaks and the Danish refer to it as Gravad laks. It literally means "buried salmon" and the name refers to the traditional method of preparation for this food: fresh salmon was heavy salted and buried in dry sand to ferment and cure. -- posted by French Tart

Swedish Cucumber Salad - Pressgurka

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 14:32:01 -0400

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
