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®

Swedish Crispbread (Knäckebröd)

Wed, 12 Jun 2002 23:16:06 -0400

This is the traditional Swedish crispbread often served at Midsummer or Christmas together with herring and cheese (SOS - Sill, Ost, Smor). I prefer fennel as a spice, but you could try caraway or aniseed, or a mixture as well. Make sure the oven is as hot as possible. The hole in the middle is traditional, and necessary for the placing on the stick. If you don't have a Swedish roller, prick the breads everywhere with a fork before baking. -- posted by André Grisell

Real Swedish Pancakes (Pannkakor)

Wed, 12 Jun 2002 23:31:13 -0400

This is how we make them here in Sweden. My mother always does them this way, and in every other Swedish family I have visited. The other recipes I have seen here have little resemblance with the original. -- posted by André Grisell

Gravlax (marinated salmon)

Thu, 13 Jun 2002 21:17:27 -0400

This is the traditional Swedish gravlax recipe. Nowadays lots of varieties have evolved, but this is the original. It is traditionally served with the mustard sauce ('Gravlaxsas') and lemon. I recommend a German or Californian dry or semi-dry white wine to this. Because of the simplicity of the recipe, the salmon has to be of the best quality and freshness available. -- posted by André Grisell

Pyttipanna (Swedish Fry)

Tue, 23 Jul 2002 19:15:38 -0400

A nice and easy lunch. Use any leftovers such as ham, beef, sausage or even mushrooms (vegetarian). The accessories are optional but the ones mostly used. Some people prefer a raw egg yolk instead of a fried egg. -- posted by André Grisell

Swedish Pea Soup (Artsoppa)

Tue, 23 Jul 2002 19:19:23 -0400

A traditional Swedish dish. Very easy to prepare. The consistency of the peas is up to everyone. I like them al dente in the broth, while some like them so soft that the soup becomes more like a porridge. In Sweden this is traditionally served with warm Punsch (a sweet beverage with arrack). The soup could of course be made vegetarian. Substitute vegetable bouillon cubes for the meat. -- posted by André Grisell

Knuckle of pork with mashed swedes (Flasklagg med rotmos)

Tue, 30 Jul 2002 19:46:44 -0400

A traditional Swedish dish. I couldn't resist posting it for the fun of its name when translated into English. Typical autumn or winter food. In Sweden we use slightly salted meat (a kind of preservation), but it's OK to use fresh meat. -- posted by André Grisell

Swedish Lard Sausage (Isterband)

Sun, 06 Oct 2002 22:07:53 -0400

One variety of a traditional Swedish sausage. Probably nothing for weight-watchers. The sausage is cured for up to a week. During this period, lactic acid fermentation takes place, rendering a sour taste. The raw unsmoked sausage may smell a little foul, but it disappears when cooked. Fry the sausages in a skillet or in the oven and serve with potatoes or cabbage in white sauce. They can also be broiled on charcoal. -- posted by André Grisell

Swedish Apple Pie

Frida's "Special Sauce"

Wed, 11 Dec 2002 20:23:53 -0500

This is Frida (The Swedish Import's) "Special Sauce." Frida stayed with us for a year as a foreign exchange student from Sweden, as well as an awesome relative of ours. She would make this spaghetti sauce for us, and tried to give the recipe. Unfortunately, she herself didn't even know exactly how much she would put in of each ingredient. She made it up, and we all love it! -- posted by Bec

Swedish Saffranspannkaka - -Saffron Cake

Tue, 22 Apr 2003 20:13:18 -0400

Its a Swedish specialty from a island called Gotland that my father's from. It's not a pancake--it's actually a saffron and rice porridge that is given the addition of almonds, cream, and eggs and poured in a dish and baked in the oven. Its served with whipped cream and a jam made from a special berry from the island called salmbar but mulberry is a good substitute. It should not be to dry or to moist = lagom in Swedish--it means just right. It can be served slightly warm or cold. I love it, hope you enjoy!! -- posted by MarieFromSweden

Swedish Kroppkakor

Tue, 06 May 2003 20:05:00 -0400

Kroppkakor is eaten all over Sweden and is really old-fashioned cooking. The recipe is varying in different parts of Sweden. It is made with only raw potatoes or raw and boiled or just boiled as in this recipe. The allspice is not something that everybody likes, for me it's a must though. If there are any leftovers I love to slice them in halves the next day and fry them in butter--mmm!! A friend of mine from the north of Sweden does just that but he makes a sauce by pouring milk into the frying pan and boiling it with the halved kroppkakor, he does not want any allspice in his and makes them with both raw and cooked potatoes. This is one of the few dishes that I drink milk with. Lingonsylt is a must all over Sweden; I believe it is called cowberry or red whortleberry. I hope you enjoy!! -- posted by MarieFromSweden

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

Swedish Limpa Bread

Wed, 07 Sep 2005 14:41:05 -0400

This is a distinct and delicious bread. Boiling the seeds first really mellows their flavor. This has been passed down and around in our community for generations. It's really good! -- posted by Kaarin

Jansson's Temptation (Swedish Potato and Anchovy Casserole)

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 20:41:33 -0500

I found this on another website researching Swedish recipes. I love to make it and not tell people it has anchovies in it until after they rave about how good it is. The anchovies melt into it to make a sauce. It has such a yummy flavor! Here is a quote from the recipe: "Jansson's Temptation is a classic Swedish dish traditionally served before guests leave to ensure that during their cold journey home they have something warm inside them." -- posted by Engrossed

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 14:40:17 -0500

Very creamy comfort food. Originally made as OAMC CrockPot meal, and it froze very well. Originally called for yogurt, which separated, so use full-fat sour cream instead. Uses pre-made meatballs (yours or store-bought). -- posted by CheapThrills

They are traditionally cut into heart shapes, but we experiment with flowers, angels, bells, stars, etc. Note: requires overnight refrigeration. -- posted by Dalloway

Swedish Biscotti

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:45:20 -0500

This recipe comes from my husband's grandmother. In Swedish it is called Svenska Mandel Skorpar or Swedish Toast. It resembles biscotti but has cardamon in it not chocolate nor anise. It is wonderful with tea and keeps well if stored in a dry container. The best flavor of cardamon is fresh--remove the outside pod, put the seeds into a plastic ziplock bag, put the sealed bag on cement floor, and pound with a hammer and you have ground cardamon. This is the method my MIL taught me:) The original recipe says "a pinch of salt and soda" so that is why I have it here that way:) -- posted by WiGal
