Description

These recipes first appeared on Anne and Johan Santesson’s website at URL http://www.santesson.com/recept/, the first ones being included in 1996.  A few of the recipes are perhaps not quite typical “Swedish”, even if they ought to be. These recipes do not carry a Swedish flag.Table of ContentsStarters• Gravlax and avocado mousse, the perfect way to use gravlax leftovers• Jansson’s temptation, a mouth-watering Swedish anchovy gratin• Swedish herring salad, a must on the smörgåsbordet  Soups• Nettle soup, the Swedish way of preparing young stinging nettles• Pea soup, a traditional way of serving yellow split peas• Salmon soup in the Swedish wayVegetables• Brown beans, the classical Swedish bean dish• Hasselback Potatoes, a Swedish form of oven-baked potatoes• Red cabbage, a traditional Swedish Christmas dishMeat• Christmas ham in the traditional Swedish way• Hamburger à la Lindström, a Swedish form of hamburger with red beets• Potato dumplings, a Swedish dish enjoyed by many but not by us• Pyttipanna, the Swedish way of serving meat leftovers• Sailor’s stew, meat and potato stewed in beer in the Swedish way• Swedish meatballs – enough said!• Veal meatballs, white meatballs in a white sauceFish and shellfish• Crayfish, spiced with dill• Gravlax, the Swedish way of marinating or curing salmonSauces and condiments• Stewed and mashed apples, a nice Swedish condiment for pork dishes• Mustard sauce, a must for gravlax but also shellfishDesserts and sweets• Cheesecake, difficult to prepare but delicious• Cheese ice-cream, a special way to use the Swedish “Västerbotten” cheese (substitutes are possible, though)• Fruit syrup sauce to be served together with Riz à la Malte• Lussekatter, Swedish saffron-flavoured Lucia buns to be eaten on 13 December• Rice with oranges and whipped cream (Riz à la Malte) a dessert Swedish kids love• Scanian apple cake, a delicious apple dessert from southern Sweden, sizzling with calories• Semlor, Swedish stuffed buns to be served during Lent• Swedish punch and chocolate sweets, a traditional Christmas treat• Waffles in the Swedish mountain wayBeverages• Absolut Kurant in a home-made version• Fruit-syrup, a classical Swedish drink for the kids• Hot spicy wine, a Swedish after-ski drink• Wolf’s paw, a Swedish vodka and lingonberry drink  The Santesson Recipe Collection: Swedish CookingEnglish | ISBN: N/A | 37 pages | PDF | 172.50 KB
