Swedish Cuisine

Oh la la! Haven't been updating in a while, so I have to say "sorry" about that one! Can't say that I have been very busy, but sometimes it just happen!

Anyway, I have been in "Swedish-food-mood" in the last week with focus on Skagen röra. First I waned to go big and make a Smörgås tårta (translated in to Sandwich Cake). It's a "cake" with white toast bread (untoasted!) layered with different fillings. You can do shrimp, ham, or what ever you feel like! Plenty of mayo in it, but it is so yummy! Unfortunately the grocery store didn't have a few of the key ingredients I needed so I had to scale it down a little. So I went with a räkmacka (shrimp sandwich) instead!

Shrimp Sandwich, Swedish style!
During the same time Daniel and I watched "Mamma Mia", which is an incredible good movie! After the movie, the Bose was rocking to both ABBA and Ace of Base! 
  
That same night my culinary enthusiasm continued as I decided to cook for Daniel, for a change! 
This time I went with baked potato with Skagen Röra.   
A hot potato!
      So easy but so good, so I thought I would share the recipe with y'all!

Skagen Rora

3-4 dl Shrimp
2 tbls Dill
1dl  Mayo
1 dl Creme Fraiche
2 tbls Red Onion, finely shopped
  Salt
Pepper
Lemon


Cut the shrimps in small pieces
Put all ingredients together and mix well.
Squeeze the lemon in the mix (instead of fresh lemon you can buy lemon mayo)
Salt and pepper to taste

Bake your potato and add some shredded lettuce, butter and spices (if you want) before you topp it off with plenty of Skagen mix!

Oh what A great "Swedish night"! ABBA, Ace of Base and A hot potato!

Cheers my friends!

What's cooking?

More photos!

Today I thought I would post some food pictures! 
We finally got the grill working (the home made one!). I just love grilling!
And it's great living with your own private chef!
I do lend a hand sometimes (with clear and strict directions!)   

Ah, home made spicy marinade on a steak, with veggie kebab and baked potatoes!

The table is set on the terrace!
Looks like dinner for 4, but as you can see, there are only two plates! 
Why share something delicious?! 

My lagoon fish that "grandma" caught on the beach!
It was great watching her. Wish I had pictures when she was in 
the water, fully dressed putting out the net!  

Cooked and ready to be eaten!


And, my Swedish Chocolate Balls!
I'm the pastry chef in this household!

Bon Appetite my friends!
