The Hasselback potato dish is a Swedish classic dish, which I have written about before. This time, I have used the same technique as for the potatoes, but with red beets instead. The oven baked red beets get really tender and crispy. I serve it with a perfectly grilled beef tenderloin and a creamy sauce [...]
Beef croquette (or ”Järpar” in Swedish) is a common autumn dish in Scandinavia. Traditionally you use ground beef, but it’s also very common with lamb, veal or chicken. When you grow up in Sweden, I’m 100% sure you have been served Beef croquettes for lunch in school. We normally serve the croquettes with mashed potatoes, [...]
The Swedish Oven baked pancake is a classic traditional dish. The most common variant is with bacon, and I have also added spinach and scallion in my oven baked pancake, which I think give a bit more taste and break well with the salty bacon. I have made a vegetarian oven baked pancake earlier, and [...]
Stewed macaroni is something I grew up eating, both at home and in the school (yes, we get hot lunch served every day in the Swedish school system). And I loved it! I can't say I eat it that often anymore, but when I do, I get so many childhood memories back in my mind. [...]
This is a favorite fish meal for me. The salty bacon and the sun dried tomatoes add so much flavor to this dish. The potatoes are just pressed through a potatoes presser normally used when making mashed potatoes. But here, you get an airy, light potato dish which is delicious with some caramelized butter giving [...]
Sunday dinner. Or what day that works for you - dinner. My grandma always did Sunday dinner to something special. I know many cultures and families still have that tradition. I can say that we don't. Normally Saturday is the day in the week where we spend extra time in the kitchen. But that doesn't [...]
Pasta and sausage are most often served together with a rich and heavy tomato sauce. I wanted to do something different. I serve my pasta with a spicy sausage, where I have removed the casing, and together with tomatoes, spinach, a lot of parmesan and fresh sage. This delicious dish is really quick to prepare [...]
Okey, I just love this! I don't use Marcarpone, which is an Italian creme cheese, that often. But this is something I have to spread (!). I had it in a restaurant as an appetizer and created thereafter this recipe at home. Try it! Ingredients (4 pers): 4 slices sourdough bread slices 1 tbsp olive [...]
This is a really simple dinner for the whole family. We are eating less meat than before in our family. We haven't excluded meat 100%, so here is a recipe I love also with meat. If you prefer to go vegetarian, you can easily replace the beef with e.g. pepper, zucchini or carrots. I serve [...]
I actually don't cook skewers that often. But this time I decided to do it, and therefore two different skewers. One with beef "croquettes" with a spicy hint of garlic, chilli and cumin. One vegetable skewer with potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, onion and pepper. I thought a Greek tzatziki sauce could be nice to this, but [...]
