In this pot you'll put the cleaned, sliced vegetables, a bundle of green, lemon slices, salt, sugar, vinegar and water. Is the fish fresh - not frozen - put the fish in when the water boils. Bring to a boil and boil the fish under the lid on very low heat for 20 minutes. Do you use a fish that is frozen; you should take the fish straight from the freezer and put it in cold water. Bring to a boil, it takes normally 30 minutes, and from boiling to finish the fish, it takes 30 minutes more. But remember the fish shall only simmer in the boiling water the last 30 minutes. Hollandaise sauce: This recipe is not the "real" Hollandaise sauce, but in my opinion, better and less "fattened". I think? In a thick bottomed saucepan melt the butter and flour mixed in while stirring until you get a "flour roll". Pour the fish soup in the pot, but a bit of time, under strong stirring. Continue until you get the consistency that you want the sauce. The sauce boil for 3 minutes, then turned off for this. One or two egg yolks stir into a cup and add some of the sauce while stirring. When the cup is half full, add this mixture while stirring the sauce and season with salt, sugar and vinegar. It is important that the sauce does not boil more when the egg yolks have come in.

Now you have to go out and catch a fresh salmon for this meal

600 to 800 grams of salmon 4 dl water 60 g salt 40 g sugar 2 tsp. mustard seeds 1 tsp. coriander seeds 1 tsp. dill seeds 1/2 tsp. whole white pepper 1 dl dill schnapps 1 bunch fresh dill Make salt content: 13% or 12 °B before the schnapps is added 10.7% or 10 °B after the schnapps is added Recipe No. 14 Rimmad (curing) salmon with scrambled eggs Procedure without liability: Catch the salmon and use the large middle piece of approx. 600 to 800 g. Fillet the fish so you have two pieces. Cut away side bones with a sharp knife and take out the nerve legs with strong tweezers or pliers. Take a bowl or a dish in which the two sides of the salmon can lie. Pour a cold brine according to this recipe over the fish and put it all in the fridge for a day or two. Thin side 1 day - thick side 2 days. See also under alternative method. Preparation for rim salting: Boil 4 dl water, 60 g salt, 40 g sugar, 2 tsp. mustard seeds, 1 tsp. coriander seeds, 1 tsp. dill seeds, ½ tsp. whole white pepper and the dill sticks. The dill leaves are used for decoration. When the layer is hand-warm, add 1 dl spice schnapps. Cool the layer completely in the fridge and then pour over the salmon. After 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator, the salmon is taken out and rinsed briefly under cold, running water. Pat dry with paper towel and cut into thin slices. Arrange on serving plates and garnish with chopped dill. Serving: Scrambled eggs or egg yolk are served with the dish. Break 4 eggs into a bowl and add 4 tbsp. cold water and 2 tbsp. spice schnapps and beat well with a hand whisk until everything becomes "airy". A dab of butter on the pan and melt it over medium heat. Pour in the egg yolk and let it harden under the lid over medium heat. Season with salt and white pepper when the eggs are done. Distribute it on the plates next to the salmon. Rimmad (curing) salmon for 4 days Tip: Small new Danish potatoes boiled in lightly salted water are also good for the dish. Very small, new Danish potatoes only need to be boiled for 15 minutes, after which the water is poured off and they are briefly air-dried. Put the potatoes back in the pot, and 2 tbsp. spice schnapps is poured over. Put the lid on and shake the pot briefly until the schnapps has been absorbed into the potatoes. Drinking: Drink your favorite beer with the dish and wash it down with the rest of the spice schnapps. You will hear the angels sing. This dish originates from Sweden and is called "Rimmad Lax". Alternative method: Dry salting is also an option for rimmed fish - here salmon - but remember that all fish MUST first be frozen at -20 °C for at least 24 hours. It is to kill any Herring Worm and Cod worm. Thawing must take place in the refrigerator to avoid excessive liquid loss. Salmon, which rimmed, is prepared by first being frozen, then seasoned with salt and sugar - perhaps also a few spices. I hereby give the recipe for a salmon side of 1000 grams, so you can scale down/up according to your own weight. Just remember the weight is of the finished cleaned fish with skin.    Fresh salmon 600 g ready for salting with Whisky.   The salmon has received the 2.6% mixture below. Salting according to the equilibrium method 2.6% 1000 g cleaned salmon side with skin 26 g Læsø salt or Kosher salt 13 g Muscovador cane sugar light 3.3 g Dill dried 1.6 g Pepper, white from the mill 2 cl Dill schnapps or Whisky NB: I never use nitrite salt for fish. Hint: I have created an Excel spreadsheet for calculating salt, nitrite salt, sugar and spices for an arbitrary quantity of meat and meat of every kind. See sheet Fish. Procedure without liability: Place the cleaned salmon side in a dish with the skin side down - or a Gastro tray. Just remember to pat the fish dry first. Drizzle the fish with dill schnapps, spread salt and sugar on the meat side and sprinkle dried dill over. The salmon is a fatty fish and must be marinated for 4 to 6 days in the fridge at a maximum of 5 °C. Measure the thickness of the salmon, if it is 20 mm thick and above then 6 days, under 20 mm thick then 4 days - a good rule of thumb. You can advantageously mix all the spices in a bowl and sprinkle it over the fish in an even layer.    The salmon is placed on a grid in the new Gastrobakke.   The salmon can be seen here after 1 day in the fridge A fish emits approx. 5% liquid, so it would be a good idea to put the fish on a rack at the bottom of the dish. Alternatively, the dish must be emptied of liquid 1 to 2 times a day. And remember that aluminum trays are a NO GO for food when salt and acid are used.

Then add flour a little at a time, while kneaded with "Five of Clubs" on the right hand. Keep the left hand clean if you need it to take other things. It might be a little more flour, the flour amount depends very much on the size of the eggs. Knead the dough thoroughly until it does not stick, but it should not be too dry. Cover the bowl with a clean, wet cloth and let rise until double about. 1 hour. While dough rises the remonce are made. Pick margarine in a bowl sprinkle sugar and cinnamon (cardamom) above. Use a dough hook and knead the mixture until it is well mixed. Sprinkle a little flour on the dry kitchen table, beat the dough slightly and fold it several times before the dough is rolled out with a rolling pin. Measure your baking tray (L = 40 cm x W = 35 cm). Roll out the dough in length 40 cm and width 44 cm. Cut 4 strips a 40 cm x 11 cm. Distribute remoncen and half of the raisins in the middle of all four strips and folding the dough from both sides against each other. The end pieces also folded over, so remoncen does not flow out.

Put the dough for raising under a wet tea towel for 45 minutes. While the dough is raising, the remone is made. Pour butter, brown sugar and syrup into a saucepan and put it over low heat so it all melts. Put the hazelnuts on a clean and dry pan, warm up so that they take color and the shells come loose. Put the hazelnuts in a dry tea towel and fold over so you can roll the nuts around and get the shells off. Chop the nuts coarsely and pick them up in the pan for the Lord Mayor filling. Mix it all well and let it cool while you go to the next step. If cake cream is used, it comes in when the remone is slightly cooled. The dough is very sticky, so pour it into a baking tin 20x30 cm (I use an aluminum drip tray for barbecue only greased with butter), but remember to put baking paper in the bottom which is lubricated with butter. Replace the dough for raising under a wet tea towel for 45 minutes or until it is raised twice. When the dough is raised to double, press with a index finger as many grooves as possible. (I got 12 grooves). In these grooves, the Lord Mayor filling come and the rest is evenly distributed over the dough. Place the baking form into a pre-heated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 180 °C. The time may vary slightly depending on your oven.

Note: Brownies are sometimes known as "Poor man's birthday cake". Hints: I have tried cold raising for 24 hours in the refrigerator, giving a better structure to the brownies. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and place it on the kitchen table for a few hours before pouring it into the greased aluminum drip tray. Spread the dough all the way to the sides and then make the grooves in the dough with butter-lubricated finger. Place the dough in a warm place under a wet towel for raising one more hour.

Cake dough is placed in a preheated 170 degree oven and baked for 50 to 60 minutes. The time depends somewhat on the stove and at what height you set the springform. I put my springform on a rack 1/3 up so 55 minutes was just right. Fishing carrot cake garnished with Creme Fraiche and plums in Madeira Drink: Find a good Madeira and serve with a good home cooked coffee together with the Fishing carrot cake. Plums in Madeira: For 1 kg plums without stones, use 500 g pearl sugar, 2 vanilla rods, 1 cup water, 5 dl Madeira and 1 tbsp. Atamon. The plums rinsed in cold water and wiped off. Halve the plums and remove the stones, place the plums in a clean Atamon washed jars (about 2 liters). Boil water and sugar to a syrup with vanilla rods, which just been cut into quarters. Turn off heat and come Madeira and Atamon in the syrup. Pour the hot mixture over the plums. The liquid should cover the plums, if not, then top up with Jamaica Rum or a strong Stroh Rum. Do you use Rum in a good amount, then you can simply rinse the glass with Atamon and failing to get it in the plums. The glass container sealed with the seal and put in a cold, dark and dry place. Now formed vacuum in the glass when the glass is cold, and it helps to extend shelf life. In the first week I usually take the glass out and shake it so that the plums coincide and all plums are below the liquid. Unopened glass I've had in two years, but when they first opened, I put the glass in the refrigerator and then they can keep for about 1 month. Hints: Can not find Madeira, then use a Portvin. Both types of wine has a strength of between 19% and 20% - also called liqueur.

The dried nettles, which are roughly chopped, add to the pan and boil lightly for 5 minutes. Add crushed blue cheese to the saucepan, and now the meal must not boil any more. You can benefit from using a handheld blender in the soup now. Get 1 cup 38% Creme Fraiche to the pan while stirring - still, the meal must not boil. (A small can of tomato paste added while stirring. Nettle soup is usually green but turns brown, when tomato paste is added. I will refrain tomato paste next time). Season the soup with salt and pepper. If you add tomato paste, the soup will turn brown Serving: Served with horseradish whipped cream. Whip the cream as firm as the bowl can be turned upside down and add finely grated horseradish. Pour the soup into warm plates and add one or two large spoons, whipped cream horseradish. Garlic Bread fits to the meal. If you want to use the dish as a main course, you can serve meatballs (Köttbullar in Swedish) for the soup, as I have done here. Garnish: Sprinkle with "round hand" finely crushed parsley around horseradish cream. Drink: Serve a half dry Sherry with the soup and "rinse" after with a cold, top-fermented and unpasteurized beer.

Or some large potatoes cooked in 10 minutes and cut them into slices. Place potatoes in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and add a little whipping cream over. Otherwise proceed as described above. Here I shall propose to take the skin of the fish.

Brother        Let me get away from here in a hurry        Start with some facts: Escargot - also known as "Rampart Escargot" - is the biggest shell-borne escargot in Denmark. It lives in many places in Eastern and Northern Jutland and on East Sjælland. The escargots like to live in places where the soil is calcareous. It is assumed that they were introduced to Denmark in the middle Ages by monks who ate these escargots in Lent. Snails and carp fish was not considered "real" meat and might be consumed in Lent. Well! They were some strange "Fish" or "Snails" - those monks. The word Escargot is used on edible snails. The escargot was protected in 1991 in Denmark, but not quite, it means that it must be collected for personal consumption. You can collect escargots in August and prepare them for your own consumption but not for re-sale. If you want this, do your own "Escargots Farm". How do you get an Escargots Farm? Find two escargots in May when it rains, but remember to look after if the escargots are both right-twisted. Most escargots are right-twisted and only two identical twisted escargots can mate. Mark escargot shells 1 and 2 with a waterproof pen. Let these two escargots live in your garden until August and put them back where you found them. They have now laid between 20 and 60 eggs in your garden, next year you have your own escargots stock, shall we say 40 escargots. Lifetime of escargots is from 6 to 8 years, so you will have 102.400.000 (40*40*40*40*40) escargots in your garden after 5 years. Escargots are hermaphrodites, so it is only necessary to collect two. When they meet, they decide for themselves what sex, they each will be. It is quite convenient, since it all goes with the "escargot's pace". There is no time to lose. One of the pictures shows an escargot that has dug down and is about to lay eggs. It was a rainy day around midsummer (Sankt Hans). Procedure without liability: As a starter for 4 people, you need 32 large escargots between 4 cm and 5 cm in diameter. They gathered best on a rainy August day, where they have laid eggs, and therefore have made their "duty of escargots". The offspring is guaranteed and the escargot has eaten itself large and thick. Escargots must now be prepared for human consumption, i.e. all toxic "things" - poisonous mushrooms - which the escargot can eat, must be discharged from the escargot's esophagus and intestinal tract. Esophagus sits in the "foot" and intestine sit up in the twisted escargot shell. You eat only the foot, the gut is cut away. Preparation is best done in a solid box of white wood placed in the shade. White wood without tannic acid. Escargots spraying regularly with temperate water for two days, you are sure that stomach contents are emptied out. Would you like to give the escargots a wholesome replacement and a spicy taste, you can feed them with parsley, parsley root and herbs the first two days, the last two to three days are fasting and purging days. Escargot discharges its stomach contents sitting in the "digestive rest" on the wood box sides; it takes usually a few days. My escargots were collected Saturday, went until Monday on herbs for sprinkling twice a day. Monday herbs were removed and escargots sat down in the digestive position until Thursday when they were prepared. Escargots are killed quickly and easily (read human) in boiling, slightly salted water. Before you do this, check the escargots are alive. Get them in the sink and shower with temperate water. After 15 to 20 minutes is the escargot awaked and come out of his shell. Those who do not come out discarded. Use a large pot of at least 5 liters to kill the escargots in. Put the escargots up in the boiling, salted water and take them out with a skimmer 5 to 10 minutes after water is boiling. While escargots are still lukewarm, pull escargot's body - read feet, stomach and intestine - out of their shells with a small fork. Stomach with intestine is cut off. Warning: Never kill the living escargots in salt. It is cruel and has no purpose. Please use my description above. The escargots freed of mucus in several portions slightly salted, boiling water with a little vinegar before being cooked finished in the soup. It is a procedure that can take time. I used two portions boiling water for this process. The soup is a good broth made of a boiled chicken added onion, garlic, carrot, parsley root, bay leaves, red chili pepper, and thyme. In short, what you have in your herbal garden. The cleaned escargots are softly cooked at low heat approx. 2 hours in this broth. Escargots placed for quick cooling under running cold water in a colander. There are now two options, either frozen escargots in the soup for later use or the pre-cooked escargots prepared now. I spent a good chicken broth made from cubes and all the best from my herbal garden for the soup. Preparation of pre-cooked escargots: The absolute cleaned and dried escargots shells are located in salt in a baking dish with the opening up. One to two escargots placed in each shell and melted "Butter of Escargot" poured over. Put in a 225 °C hot oven for 10 minutes. Serve immediately with freshly baked flutes to immerse in the butter in escargot shells. Images of the final meal at a later date because I have frozen the escargots. Drink: It is really very difficult to choose the correct "drink" to this meal, so I think you must choose yourself. Is it summer, and you sit on the terrace, I recommend a dry, cool white wine. Perhaps Champagne would be good to it. Judge yourself. Escargots then baked in butter, garlic and parsley Hints: You can buy canned pre-cooked escargots with cleaned escargots shells, so you're saving yourself a lot of work. But remember it must be the right canned escargots and not the finished deep frozen in parsley and garlic butter. This is marsh snails - read sewage snails from Far East. Instead of escargots shells, you can find in the trading houses a plate with 6 to 8 holes where the escargots are placed and you only poured the "Butter of Escargot" over, and then baked in the oven at 200 °C for 10 minutes. Escargots shells cleaned: Remove the last remnants of the intestinal system and boil escargots shells in water containing a little soda. Escargots shells rinsed well in hot water and put to drain. Finally they are baked in the oven at 200 °C for 10 minutes. They can now be used as described above. Note: You are obviously not having as many escargots in your garden, as described above. Many die during winter. They are eaten by animals and birds. The largest escargot eater, you have in your garden, is the hedgehog. Use hedgehog if you have Iberian snail's alias Killer snails in the garden. Remember definitive no poison in your garden when you have an escargot.

Also remember to brush away the dark skin in the abdominal cavity of the mullet. In a suitable aluminum tray or roasting pan if you use your oven instead of barbecue, sprinkled coarse salt 1 cm at the bottom. The area must be slightly larger than the fish, as this must be laid on the salt. Press the fish bit down into the salt and pour salt over the fish so it completely covered with 1 cm thick layers.

Homemade "Gravlax" this is a rainbow trout from Karlstrup Shopping List for 4 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

Meal can be made of salmon or trout

2 kg freshly caught salmon or trout 200 g coarse kitchen salt 100 g brown cane sugar 10 g of lemon pepper 1 bag dried dill for digging 1 bag dressing "Rævesovs" 1 twig fresh dild to decorate 1 fresh bread according to your own taste 1 bag unsalted butter NOTE: Try this if you do not want to use dressing "Rævesovs" for the salmon. A small glass of cognac or whiskey or pors (Myrica) snaps pour over the fish before it is salted and put in the refrigerator. Use only dried dill for "Gravning" because of soil bacteria in fresh dill. Fresh dill is used as a decoration at the table. Recipe No. 26 1.5 kg Rainbow trout from Karlstrup P & T Procedure without liability: Use only a freshly caught salmon or trout, which coarsely cleaned immediately after the catch. Never put the fish on earth, but put it immediately in a plastic bag to avoid soil bacteria. At home the fish is scaled from tail to head with a blunt knife and a stiff brush. I use a potato knife to scale the trout. The fish fillets and then all side bones cut off, so there remain only the vertical nerve bones. These can usefully be taken out with a tongs just before the fish should be eaten. It is only necessary to take the nervous legs out if the fish is large. For fish less than 2 kg, I do not think that these bones are annoying. They are soft after the fish has soaked in salt and they are cut into small pieces. In an appropriate dish sprinkled salt and sugar at the bottom, the fish is placed on the skin side down. Salt, sugar and dill spread over the meat side. Dish covered with film and put in refrigerator to soak in 48 hours. It draws some liquid from the fish, so take the fish up in a clean and dry the cutting board before cutting slices of the fish. Homemade "Gravlax" of a freshly caught Rainbow Trout Note: If you use cognac or whiskey or pors (Myrica) snaps, it should be poured over the fish before you sprinkle with salt, sugar, lemon pepper and dill.

Garnish: You can now decorate fish pieces with fresh dill, if you like. Drink: To the meal fit a cool white wine, or a cold beer with a dram. Hints: The file pieces can be frozen before the preparation, but not after. It may be a good idea to freeze the salmon/trout for 48 hours before the preparation. There could be Ascaris suum (Roundworm) in the fish. It is a requirement of the authorities that fish, that are not heat treated, must be frozen for 48 hours if the fish is to be used for Sushi.

When this is done, the meat is placed in a suitably large salt bath and the cold brine is poured over. Now place it in the refrigerator at 5 °C for 3 days. Inspect the meat is under the brine. If not, use a plate on top of the meat. On the fourth day take up the meat and cleaned under running cold water. Meat cord is plug into the thin end and the meat suspended in Smoking Oven for drying for 24 hours before being smoked. Remove the meat from Smoking Oven and set fire to the wood dust with 1/4 dl ethylated spirits. Let it burn for approx. 20 minutes with the door and the "hat" ajar. When smoke production is good, the meat is put in Smoking Oven. Now it is up to you to maintain the temperature between 50 °C and 60 °C for the next 10 hours for hot smoking. For cold smoking you must smoke at least 48 hours at max. 25 °C. If you start in the morning, you can simply let the meat hang overnight in Smoking Oven, so it cools slowly in the night. Now follow the recipe of Irish Lamb Stew with lamb-shoulder or lamb-leg. Put lamb-shoulder or lamb-leg into a saucepan and pour water on till it the covers. Cook the lamb for 30 to 40 minutes. While it is boiling prepare the vegetables: Potatoes peeled and cut into 2 cm thick slices. Carrots and parsley root peeled and cut into 5 cm long beams. Chop onion and garlic finely. The leek chops into 2 cm thick slices. Chilli pepper cut longitudinally, just leave the seeds in, it gives a better and stronger taste. Savoy cabbage cut into quarters and cut off the stalk, then chops roughly. Take a large frying pan with high sides - or a pot - and get in butter and olive oil. Come in Savoy cabbage and sprinkle with brown sugar, let it take a little color. Pour all the vegetables in the pot and add a little apple juice and soup from the boiled lamb. Be careful with the salt, the soup from the lamb is very salt. The meat of lamb-shoulder or lamb-leg cut from the bones in mouth right pieces. Get it on the frying pan or pot and cover with a lid. The meal must now simmer for 30 minutes, but see that there is enough fluid. Fill with apple juice or soup from lamb, if necessary. Smoked pork tenderloin made as Irish "Lamb" Stew with fried dates Serving: Put the pan on the table, as shown here, or serve dinner on a dish nicely. Full-grain rye bread served with the meal. Garnish: The dish may decorate with chopped parsley or mint leaves / mint jelly. Mint jelly made from 200g fresh mint leaves, 1 liter unsweetened apple juice, 750g pearl sugar 1 sachet Yellow Melantin and a little green food coloring. Should the jelly be transparent, you have to use a filtered apple juice. The fresh mint cooked in apple musts for three minutes and the juice is poured through a coffee filter. Then follow the recipe for Yellow Melantin bag. Is apple musts sweetened use Blue Melantin and follow the recipe on the bag. Remember, the jelly should be poured in small canning jars and closed when the jelly has become cold. The jelly fills approx. 1.4 liter, use 5-7 glass. Drink: In Ireland, they will probably prefer an Ale, but red wine also goes well with the meal. Hints: Before I've used the pan to the meal, I've done stoned dates wrapped with bacon. See the little plate in the picture above. It can be recommended as a "snake" up to Christmas Eve. The frying pan should not be cleaned before the next meal. Postscript: Irish "Lamb" Stew was made on smoked pork tenderloin, as the family would rather have the lamb shank on the grill. Alternative dry-salted and smoked pork tenderloin: Trim 4 pork tenderloins approx. 2 kg and put them on a layer of salt and sugar in a suitable salt container with a lid. Pour salt and sugar to cover. Make sure that the fillet are not touching each other. I used 1 kg of salt and 200 g sugar. Place salt container in the refrigerator for 3 days. Take the fillet out and clean them well in running water. Tie meat-leash in the thin end and hang them up to dry in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Cold smoke them at max. 25 °C for 2 days, and let it hang overnight in the oven to cool. Cut very thin slices of tenderloin and use these to orders with egg and chives. Smoked pork tenderloin can be made into Irish Stew Alternative wet-salted and smoked pork tenderloin: Trim 4 pork tenderloins approx. 2 kg and put them in a spicy brine in a suitable salt container with a lid. I used the following recipe: 3 liters of water, 490 g coarse salt, 200 grams of brown sugar, 15 bay leaves, 1 whole garlic, 1 onion, 1 red chili pepper, 10 black peppercorns, 10 juniper berries and 1 cinnamon stick. The whole is given to the boil in 10 minutes and then cooled overnight. The 4 pork tenderloin are placed in brine the next day and put in the refrigerator for 3 days at 5 °C. Take the tenderloins out and rinse them well in cold water. Tie meat-leash in the thin end and hang them up to dry in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Cold smoke them at max. 25 °C for 2 days, and let it hang overnight in the oven to cool. Cut very thin slices of tenderloin and use these to orders with egg and chives.

Salmon or trout baked in puff pastry Shopping List for 4 adults person - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

1 salmon or trout at 1.5 kg to 2 kg 1 package frozen puff pastry with 5 slices 1 cup cottage cheese 1 red chili peppers 2 cloves garlic 4 spring onions or 1 leek - only the white 1 cl. Rum 1 to 2 tbsp. salt. Depending on fish size 1 tbsp. cane sugar 1 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 whole egg Loose rice for 4 people The easy Hollandaise sauce bought on glass Or the real Hollandaise sauce Or the fake Hollandaise sauce Salad of your choice Dill, basil or fresh coriander leaves Recipe No. 31 2 trout fillets marinated and ready for baking Procedure without liability: Salmon or trout fillets are cleaned and free of bones and skin. Nerve bones taken out with a rod tip or tweezers by pulling cautious in the same direction as they sit in the fish. You can feel the bones by moving a finger over the fish from head to tail. Put fish fillets in a dish, pour a little Rum and sprinkle the mixture of salt, sugar and cayenne pepper over the fish. Cover with foil or film and set the dish in the refrigerator for 2 hours. The fish must have made some fluid before use. Sometimes one can usefully wait to pull the nerve bones out after the fish are salted - called gravad, because they are not sitting so firmly in the fish meat. While you wait, you mix cottage cheese with finely cut red chili peppers, garlic and spring onion or leek. Let it also soak in the refrigerator until used. You can usefully make the mixture a day before it is used. Take the fish out and cut the files into appropriate pieces. A fish this size can provide 3 pieces of approx. 5 cm of each file. Roll puff pastry into very thin plates and place a piece of fish in the middle of the plate. On top of the fish you distribute the mixture of cottage cheese, and come a new piece of fish on top. Pak puff pastry together on everything and "glue" it with a touching egg. Make all 5 pieces in the same way and brush with a touching egg on all sides. Put all the pieces on baking paper in a 180 °C hot oven and bake for approx. 55 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it soak in the hot oven for 5 minutes with open door. Keep an eye on the upper side will not be incinerated. This can happen if given too much of upper-heat, or you only brush the side with egg yolk. See the two pictures. The very brown brushed are with egg yolk and the bright one with egg white and yolk. The trout fillets are finished baked in puff pastry Serving: Loose boiled rice with Hollandaise sauce fits excellently with the meal. A fresh, acidic salad can usefully be served. Garnish: The dish may decorate with chopped dill, basil or fresh coriander leaves. Drink: It is a taste issue, whether to drink red wine or white wine with the fish meal. A cold beer is also suitable. Hints: Even if there are only two people to eat the fish dish, just make all 6 pieces, because they taste super cold the next day for cold cuts. Cut them into thin slices and eat them on butter smeared rye bread. Pieces smeared with egg yolk become dark. Pieces smeared with egg yolk and egg whites become light. There is also puff pastry in A4 sheet size, so you can make a whole fish in the oven. The recipe is the same, but the time in the oven may be longer.

Fried eel with boiled potatoes in white parsley sauce Shopping List for 4 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

The Fish 1.4 kg of cleaned and peeled eels. Approx. 2 kg live eel 200 g margarine 200 g butter Wheat flour, rye flour, salt and white pepper for frying Cream stewed potatoes in parsley sauce 1 kg of potatoes 75 g butter 75 g wheat flour 3/4 l milk or cream Maybe also some water for the sauce 1 large bunch of parsley 2 lemons Season the sauce with salt and white pepper Recipe No. 32 A dish of fried eels for 2 adults flanked with parsley, lemon and a dram Procedure without liability: Now the recipe had to come. After many recipes with fish, is this recipe lacking for fried eel. It's not difficult to make this recipe, as long as you follow certain rules. Eels must be freshly caught and cleaned just before you fry them. Forget to deep freeze eel - even if it is in water - eel tastes best fresh. I am not saying that it is hazardous to eat deep-frozen eel, but the taste can become rancid because eels are a fat fish. The best eels are between 250 grams and 300 grams for frying. Clean the eels yourself or get the fish dealer to do this for you. Cut the eel into 6 to 8 cm pieces and put them in a plastic bag with 2 tbsp. wheat flour, 1 tbsp. rye flour, 1 tbsp. salt and 1 tsp. white pepper. Shake bag well so the mixture sticks on the eels. Take them out of the bag and frying them on the pan in margarine on all sides, it takes approx. 8 to 12 minutes. Take the eels of the pan and clean the pan before they are fried again in plenty of butter. They will fry by size from 6 to 10 minutes again in plenty of butter. Dribble on kitchen towel before serving. The eels can be kept warm in a 100 °C hot oven before serving. One thing is important, the bones MUST slip easily from the meat if not, the eels are not fried enough. Tip: For very large roasting eels, cut a deep cut lengthwise on both sides to prevent the eel from bending the sides up on the pan during frying. At the same time, the excess eel fat disappears. Frying in margarine takes place under medium heat, in butter under light heat. Boil the potatoes in slightly salted water for 20 minutes. Take them out of the water and place them cool before cutting into slices. Make a butter rolls: Come butter in the pot when it is melted stir flour in gradually. Pour with cream (or milk) and stir until you have the right consistency, if there is not enough cream use a little water. Season sauce with salt and white pepper, boil up and turn off the heat. Potatoes and chopped parsley comes up in the pot. The sauce takes the after-heat, if you have electricity plates. Do you have gas, then supplement with a little heat, but the sauce must not boil after parsley has come in. The sauce must not be eaten the next day (soil bacterium). A portion of fried eel with cream stewed potatoes in parsley sauce, lemon, beer and a dram Serving: Server just the warm eels on the dish and boiled potatoes in white parsley sauce in a nice pot, so keep it more warmer. Garnish: Chopped parsley and lemon juice and lemon slices. Should it be nice, place rinse dishes on the table for the fried eel is eaten with your fingers. Drink: There is no way out. The eels must be served with a cold beer and one or more drams. I prefer the Norwegian Line Akvavit, which is round, soft and mild in taste. Put eel bones around the plate and count the bones. Number of bones is equal to the number of dram. So don't cut the eel into to long pieces. Hints: The only tip that I can give is, if not eaten up, cold eels are really good day after on a piece of rye bread with butter and coarse salt.

The ingredients for red and yellow spice herring can be found elsewhere on my website. All spices are first mixed well and then with salt and sugar according to the above recipe for salting. Gutted herring means: Scales cleaned, which is usually done on the boat, as it make a lot of mess, beheaded and stomach with gut string has been removed. There is a loss of about 18 to 20 %. Each batch fills a bucket of 6 liters. These buckets I have got for free in the supermarket. There has been potato salad in the buckets. Notice that I have indicated two amounts of salt and sugar. An amount for salting with head and an amount without head. You choose which method you want to use. I have made an Excel spreadsheet Spegesild for determining herring, salt and sugar. Generally, between 200 and 250 g of salt and 10 to 20 g of sugar per 1 kg of fresh whole herring are recommended. In my recipe, 250 g of salt per 1 kg of herring has been used. For salted herring 10 g sugar and for spicy herring 20 g sugar per 1 kg herring. Procedure of salting without responsibility: I must warn against making your own salted herring, if the hygiene can not be observed to the letter. The herrings must never come into contact with soil bacteria. This can happen if they have been lying on the ground, or have been in contact with vegetables. Therefore, only dried spices are used. All "stuff" must be cleaned and suitable for food. The temperature during salting - ripening - must not exceed 5 to 8 °C. Therefore, place the bucket (approved for food) in a deep and dark basement or in a refrigerator. Now we can begin. If the herrings have developed roe (female herring) and milk (male herring), this should remain in the herring. Therefore, simply cut an incision across the neck down to the spine and the spine is cut across. The head is pulled off with the stomach and intestinal tract, then the salt penetrates into the abdominal cavity of the herring. I always cut the head of the herring, as it only fills up the bucket, and I also get the gills with blood away from the brine. Too much blood can make the herring a little "bitter". Get a 6 to 10 l bucket, the one used for remoulade, pickles or potato salad in commercial kitchens, sprinkle a layer of one of the above mixture in the bottom. Top with a layer of herring, alternating direction with head and tail. Sprinkle carefully again a mixture over the herring. Come again a layer of herring on top, but now on X of the lower herrings. Sprinkle again with a mixture. This is repeated until the bucket is full. A plate is placed on top of the herrings so that they remain under the brine, which will now develop. The first few days the herrings are placed on a "warmly" place, 10 to 12 °C for maturation will take place and the brine can be formed. Look at the herrings after 2 to 3 days, to check if the brine covers the herrings. If not all herring is under the brine, make a brine of 1 l of water and 250 g of salt. Boil and cool to 5 °C before pouring over. Now place the herrings cool next week with the lid loosely put on. Air must come to the herrings. Then fasten the lid and turn the bucket upside down, therefore a good lid is a necessity. Why is that? The salt settles to the bottom, the lower herrings become too salty, and the upper ones will lack salt. This only needs to be done once, because after a few days, the lid is slightly eased so that it does not end 100% tight. The explanation is that fermentation takes place in the bucket, sugars and enzymes in the fish are converted into alcohol, gases (carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide) and acid (acetic acid, butyric acid and fatty acid). Acetic acid is formed only if oxygen enters the bucket. The lid must protect against evaporation, and impurities come down to the herrings. You could also use the old-fashioned baby cloth diapers, but first cook them well and thoroughly so that the bleach comes out. The home brewer of beer and wine are familiar with the problem of coming oxygen to the yeast tank. If this happens it becomes vinegar instead of wine. For the next 12 to 16 weeks, the herrings stay cool. If you follow all hygiene rules, after 16 weeks you will get a good product without the risk of "sausage poisoning", also called "Clostridium botulium", and can continue to marinate your spiced herring. If you do not want to salt your herring yourself, you can buy these at the fishmonger or in the supermarket and continue from here. Remember it must be old-fashioned matured herring, these herrings are matured in min. 6 months preferably for 8 months. Procedure for marinating without responsibility: The herring must now be filleted. Place the herring on a suitable cutting board with its back towards you and the head to the right. I'm assuming you're right handed! Place your left palm over the herring with your fingers pointing towards the head and with a SHARP knife, carefully cut down to the backbone and turn the knife so that the surface is parallel to the cutting board. Then cut along the backbone herring all the way down to the tail. Turn the herring so that it has the belly towards you and cut again along the backbone down towards the tail. You now have two file pieces where the abdominal bones must be removed by cutting obliquely from the back towards the abdomen. The skin is removed by pulling it off from the head towards the tail. White salted herring diluted 12 hours before marinating: The fillets must now be diluted so that the salt content suits your taste buds. Here you have to try. But try with a golden mean, put the fillet pieces in a bowl and pour cold water over so it just covers. Put the bowl in the fridge overnight and then try to taste the herring the next day. If it is OK, you can continue making the marinade. If the herrings are too salty, you have to change water again and wait a little to make marinade. A good marinade consists of three "things" vinegar, sugar and spices. 1 part vinegar and 0.6 to 0.8 part sugar as well as various spices. I have mentioned above various spices which are a must for a good marinated herring. But you can of course add your own favorite spices and bring out the flavor that you want. If you want a different sweetness in the herring, you can adjust the amount of vinegar and sugar. Bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil while stirring, when the sugar has melted add the spices and give a short boil. Then set the marinade to cool before pouring over the herrings. The herrings must "swim" in the marinade, i.e. as much marinade as herring. The herrings must now take the flavor of the marinade in a cool and dark place - the refrigerator - for at least 1 week. If you are short of time, you can cut the herring into smaller pieces and store them on the kitchen table overnight so that the taste can penetrate into the herring. The shelf life of homemade marinated herring depends on how you store these herrings. If the herrings are covered with the marinade in a glass with a lid and they are stored in the refrigerator, they can last for 6 weeks. No preservative has been used. If air comes to the herrings, they will turn rancid and taste bad. Have you tried old cod liver oil? That was the recipe for white, marinated herring. Red and yellow spice salt herring diluted for 6 hours before marinating: If you want red or yellow, marinated spicy herring, you must make a spice mixture, which is added to the herring during salting. Spice blend can be found elsewhere on my website. When I mention that "Red and yellow spices herring are diluted for 6 hours", the reason is that the herring should not lose its good spice taste to the water. The "dilution" will also take place in the marinade that the fillets are to soak in. Make a marinade according to the recipe above and let the fillets soak in it, at least a week before eating. Serving: Rye bread smeared with butter or spiced lard is the case. Garnish: Onion rings, capers, cress a raw egg yolk, just to mention something that fits well with the herring. Drink: You can not be in doubt. Your favorite beer and snaps is a must. Hints: Once you've made the marinade, then taste it, the herring will take the same taste of acidity, sweetness and the spices. It is now the time to adjust the taste, so the herring fits your taste buds. The recipe and the amount of marinade is not enough for all 60 herrings. You take maybe 10 herrings up and doing the first portion. Then perhaps you differ on the mixing ratio of vinegar and sugar, and try other spices. Just go ahead and test your taste buds. Salting with head: One also uses salting with head, and the method is called "blood salting". Cut throat halfway through from the belly, put the herrings in a bucket with 50 g of salt per kg herring. Put the the bucket very cold, like to the refrigerator for a few days. Take out the bucket, and when possible rub the herrings from tail to head, so that the blood comes out. Then salt the herrings as described. The method is cumbersome and takes time, so I salt the herrings without a head. The heads just fill up in the bucket. Here is my own recipe of a delicious Salad of pickled herring. Also try Herring in Hot Chili Pineapple Sauce. Alternative: Purchase Lykkeberg old day's matured herring. See also the food magazine: Herring from sea to plate and the video How to filter herring. Note: Since I wrote this recipe, Tenax Herring in Nyborg has bought into Lykkeberg Herring in Holbæk, and started making herring according to its own recipe. I have learned by "taste" that these herrings do not live up to the fat herrings that I knew from Lykkeberg Sild. So buy "old-fashioned matured herring" in barrels from Norway from your fishmonger, and make them yourself according to my recipe above. Below are some statements from other customers. Tenax Sild takes over Lykkeberg.

Hot smoking of cod roe Shopping list for smoked cod roe - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

1 kg fresh cod roe 2 liters of water - must cover cod roe and vegetables 105 g salt 5 % solution 5 °Baumé 50 g sugar 3 cloves garlic 1 to 2 onion 5 cm fresh ginger 1 red chili peppers 5 bay leaves 1 twig thyme 10 juniper grain root vegetables of your choice carrots, parsley root. Yes! Make your choose Recipe No. 34 My "Lunchbox smokig oven" and my camping gas system Procedure without liability: Large cod is becoming a scarce commodity, so it is difficult to get cod roe. If finally you find a fisherman who has cod roe, then the price is sky-high. But you can go on a fishing tour with a fishing boat on Oresund in January or February and catch your own fresh cod. Clean the cod on the boat and take the eggs out gently and put them in a plastic bag. The protective skin must not burst. Returned home rinse cod roe in cold water and put it up in a pot. For each 1 kg cod roe pour 2 liters of cold water. Add 105 g of salt and 50 grams of sugar and various spices, see above. Well! Try to find your own taste. Bring pot to the boiling max. 95 °C and immediately turn down the heat as cod roe only simmer for 10 to 15 minutes for small cod roe and from 15 to 30 minutes for large cod roe. Take the pot of the heat and place to cold until the next day with the cod roe in the "soup". It is not meant the cod roe will be finished cooked right to the center, it must of course be smoked afterwards. When you do it this way, cod roe seems not so hard and dry as if you just smoked it in "fresh" state. I cooked my 2 cod roe of 1 kg in total for 20 minutes. Method 1 is for large cod roe 1 kg Now the cod roe is taking out of the "soup" and set to drain for a few hours on a cold and dry place. I like using my Smoking Oven for drying place, because it is cold in January and February. Take the cod roe from Smoking Oven before you fired up on this. After a half to a full hour has Smoking Oven reaches 70 °C and smoke production is well underway. The cod roe is quickly put on the grate and the "Hat" is closed with a small 1 cm crevice provides a draft in the smokig oven, allowing water vapor to escape quickly. I may have 12 cod roe in two layers in my Smoking Oven so that corresponds to approx. 12 kg cod roe. Now the cod roe must be smoked: Oven temperature starting at 70 °C. The cod roe are smoked in 2 to 3 hours with the "Hat" slightly open. The oven temperature is reduced to 67 °C and cod roe are smoked for 2 hours with closed hat. Total 4 to 5 hours. 5 hours sounds a lot, but it is great cod roe from cod of 10 kg. Method 2 is for small cod roe If you just need to smoke a few cod roe - as shown here ½ kg - it is too much work to start the big Smoking Oven. Therefore I use a "Lunchbox Smoking Oven" on my camping gas. Do it this way, you get a good result. Add 1 cm smoking wood dust at the bottom - 3 handfuls beech wood and 1 handful juniper wood - set drip tray and grid on, place the cod roe on the grid. Put the lid on, but there must be a small opening in one side so the steam can escape. Power up and let it "burn" in 15 minutes. Turn off the gas and then let it rest for 20 minutes. Turn on again with the lid completely closed for 10 minutes and then turn off of the gas. Let it rest in the "Box" for 1 hour before the cod roe be eaten. Home Smoked cod roe in a 'Lunchbox smoking oven' The cod roe you do not need here and now, can stay over night in Smoking Oven - in winter time. Otherwise wrapped cod roe in parchment paper or freezer bag and put in the fridge; it can really drag smoke flavor into the eggs. Or vacuum packed and in the freezer. Serving: I would just come up with a good recipe for a piece of bread and butter with "Smoked cod roe". Cut two nice pieces along the cod roe put them on garlic butter toast with a lettuce leaf and put remoulade on top sprinkled with finely crushed red onion. Garnish: A lemon slice and cut cress on top. Drink: A cold beer and a dram is extremely well suited to this. Hint: The cod roe can be freed from skin and stired with mayonaise. Butter on bread and you have a snack.

1 kg mussels - sea fresh 200 g giant prawns from deep frost 12 pcs. scallops from deep frost 1 ds. squid in tomato sauce 110 g. Can be omitted 1 to 2 shallots depending on size 4 cloves garlic 1 red hot chili pepper. Use as much as you like 1 red or yellow pepper fruit 1 to 2 carrots. By size 200 g sweet, green peas 250 ml white wine. The one you drink with the food 1/2 box saffron of 1 g 4 to 8 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil 250 g Spanish Paellaris Valencia rice Season with butter, salt and pepper Recipe No. 35 Paella pan with fresh mussels is preferable Procedure without liability: Start by thawing and salting the scallops. Mix 1 tsp. fine salt and 1 tsp. fine sugar for 12 scallops. Sprinkle the mixture over the scallops and put them in the fridge until needed, an hour will be appropriate. Also thaw the prawns and put them in the fridge until needed. Vegetables: Clean the vegetables. Carrots, red/yellow peppers, onions and garlic are cut into cubes. Mussels: Thoroughly clean and rinse the mussels under the cold tap and discard those that are not closed after this treatment. Onions and garlic are sautéed in oil for a minute, after which the mussels are added and seasoned with salt and pepper. Stir in the pan a few times and add a few glasses of white wine. Steam the mussels for 6 to 8 minutes or until they have opened. Stir in the pan a few times. The mussels that have not opened are discarded. The soup is poured into a saucepan, the mussels are set to cool, so you do not burn your fingers when the mussel is to be taken out of the shell. Keep the soup very warm until it is to be used in the rice. The easy way with mussels is to use canned mussels. They are simply put for draining in a sieve just like the shrimp. The downside is simply that it does not provide the right flavor. But you can compensate for that by using a good fish soup. However, wok pan with canned mussels can be used Risotto: Heat the oil in a paella pan, it has two handles one on each side. A Tefal Wok pan with a lid can also be used, so it simply does not have to be put in an oven, but continues to fry on the stove under the lid. I first used a Wok pan, which is seen below. Later I got a Paelle pan, which is seen above in the first picture. Onions, garlic, chili peppers, red or yellow peppers and carrots are fried in the oil until the onions are ready - 3 to 4 minutes. Then add the rice - a little at a time - while stirring in the paella pan. Make sure all rice grains are greased into oil. When the rice grains become a little clear at the edge, add the warm soup from the mussels a little at a time. Let the rice grains soak up the soup while stirring. Be careful not to boil the rice dry, add with a little more wine / fish soup / water, but not too much so the rice floats in the soup. Continue until the rice is almost cooked, taste them and see if they have a bit of a bite. Now add the peeled mussels, shrimp, squid in tomato sauce and peas to the risotto. Stir gently in the pan so that it all mixes nicely. Add a few pats of butter, place the lid on the paella pan and place it in a 200 °C preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. The finished risotto should be nicely creamy. Once the paella pan is placed in the oven, do not stir in it. The rice should fall to the bottom so they can form a golden and crispy crust. It is the secret of a perfect paella and coveted by true paella lovers. Prawns, mussels and green peas set to drain, while the meal simmering. Red and yellow peppers and a box of saffron 1 g Scallops: They were "rimsalted", which is a form of digging, so they do not need to be fried very much. Make a quick and vigorous browning of the scallops and turn off the heat so that they draw the heat into the center. The paella pan is taken out of the oven and the scallops are placed on top. Serving: The paella pan or wok pan is placed directly on the table. Garnish: Finely chopped parsley or coriander, tomato boats and lemon boats. Save some mussels with shell for garnish. Drink: Of course a cool white wine of your choice. I have chosen an Argentinian Chardonnay wine that goes well with fish, chicken, pasta and cheese. Great choice. I got 3 bottles for DKK 100.00. Hints: Grate the peel of an organic lemon, squeeze one or two cloves of garlic, chop the parsley or coriander very finely. Mix the three things in butter and put it in a soft rolls. Put the soft rolls in the residual heat from the oven for 5 - 10 minutes. Serve the dumpling to the dish. Note: It's hard to find Spanish Paellaris, so I tried Oryza Sushi rice, which gave an excellent result. It is a medium grain rice.

In Denmark, I have only seen these prawns in ½ kg and 1 kg bags. In Sweden they are in a special freezer where you shovel prawns into a bag. Take the number you want to smoke and pour them into a plastic bag in which you have first pouring a mixture of cane sugar, salt and finely cut red chili. Shake bag well and take up the frozen prawns, put them on a screen or in a sieve and hang them in Smoking Oven. Smoking Oven has now been prepared and develop a good smoke at a temperature of 60 °C to 70 °C. Let the prawns remain in the next 60 minutes to 90 minutes on the grid, after which they are taken out and served on a plate or several plates. Temperature and time can vary depending on size of prawns and Smoking Oven you use. But remember the prawns must be frozen when they come in the Smoking Oven. The prawns, which you see here on the the front image above, have been in for 60 minutes at a temperature of 60 °C. The result was satisfactory - not too much smoke and not too little smoke. The lower image shows prawns smoked in a "box Smoking Oven" in 40 minutes at a temperature of 80 °C. It was probably 10 minutes too long, or maybe the temperature was too high. Aioli for home-smoked giant prawns Dressing: You make the dressing by first mixing the olive oil in Cheasy fraîches and then a strong curry and wasabi. Decorate with finely crushed dill. Aioli: You make the aioli by beating a whole egg into a glass, pour the oil on top, come the vinegar and lemon juice in, sprinkle a little salt over, sprinkle the coarse chopped garlic in. Put a hand blender to the bottom of the glass, turn on and blend for 2 minutes, pull up the hand blender a bit as aioli'en thickens. Important: all ingredients should be at room temperature before mixing and it should also be a neutral oil. Adjust the number of garlic, 6 pcs. is very strong. Then smoked prawns must be peeled in Båstad house 1 Serving: Serve the smoked prawns with the above dressing, a good white bread and rinse bowls with lemon slices. Garnish: Salad leaves and dill twigs. Drink: Cool white wine or a dill snaps with a beer. Hints: Will you use the meal for a dinner, just smoke a lot more prawns, and even find some good accessories that can feed you and the guests. I recommend that you first give less smoke than too much smoke. Try your taste during the smoking process by simply adding more prawns in, than you need. The prawns, which I used, I would not describe as giant prawns, why they got only 60 minutes.

Home smoked cheese or "Rygeost" Shopping List for 4 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

3 l fresh, low-pasteurized, unhomogenized and organic whole milk 2 dl fresh buttermilk as Acid-rich 1 pinch lipase, enzyme mixed in 10 ml cold water Note: Used raw milk or low pasteurized whole milk (72 °C for 15 seconds) and unhomogenized whole milk no need for lipase Used high pasteurizing whole milk (80 °C to 90 °C for 5 to 30 sec. ) and homogenized whole milk use lipase ½ tsp. ca. 8 drops of rennet mixed in 10 ml of cold water 1 tbsp. Læsø sewing salt, Do not use salt with iodine 1 tbsp. Caraway, dried or 1 tbsp. Chili, dried and crushed Recipe No. 40 Home smoked cheese or Rygeost Read about: Acid range, Rennet, Læsø sewing salt, Fakta whole milk and Farm milk. Lipase enzyme from lamb mild and Lipase enzyme from goat medium NOTE: Rennet can stay in the refrigerator for several years. Impact loses 1% per month, so it can be compensated by adding more rennet. My bottle has been around since 2008. In 2018 I had to buy a new one. I'm familiar with Danish whole milk is low-pasteurized. The amount of milk gives 720 g of smoked cheese Procedure without liability: Smoked cheese is a fresh cheese that is eaten fresh without storage. So in principle one can omit lipase, but by adding lipase, one can proceed to Feta cheese. Sweet whole milk and buttermilk are heated to 32 °C (90 °F) in a clean steel pot. Measure the temperature so that the limit is not exceeded. In a glass with 10 ml of cold water add starter culture lipase, stir in the glass. If the lipase is made the day before, optimal effect is achieved. Add the mixture to the milk mixture and stir gently in the pot. There should not be air bubbles in the cheese milk. Cover the pot with a clean towel to keep warm and place the pot in a warm place min. 24 °C (75 ° F) for 30 minutes. In a glass with 10 ml of cold water add rennet, stir in the glass. Add the mixture to the milk mixture and stir gently without air bubbles coming into the cheese milk. After 1 hour at 24 °C (75 °F), the milk is coagulated and is now swimming in the whey. Now cut the coagulated milk for approx. 3 cm cubes, crosswise and obliquely, as can be done in the pot. Take a skimmer and gently stir in the curd and share the lumps that are not split properly. After 1 hour at 24 °C (75 °F), the curd has fallen to the bottom and can now be poured into a sieve lined with cheesecloth or a juice bag on a stand. When most of the whey is dripped - takes an hour to two - add salt and spices. Mix these spices well into the curd and bring the curd back into the cheesecloth. Tighten the cheesecloth by twisting the cloth so that more whey runs out. Then put it all into the refrigerator and let it drain for the next day. The curd is now divided into 2 or 4 aluminum trays, depending on the size. A larger surface gives a more smoky taste in the cheese. Sprinkle a little caraway/chilli on the surface before placing the trays in the smokig oven. I use another method. I hang the whole sieve with the curd in the smokig oven. The view is shown in the picture above, where the cheesecloth is now removed. Here you must of course choose whether or not to add caraway/chilli. You get two trays of smoking cheese of 300 g per tray. It's the pure gold. Smoking: Come approx. 2 liters of smoke sawdust - I use beech sawdust - on the sawdust tray in the smokig oven. Set the temperature regulator to 30 °C (86 °F) and pour 1 dl of alcohol on the leading edge of the sawdust. Light up and wait approx. half an hour to the temperature and the smoke development has stabilized around 30 °C. Hang the sieve into the smokig oven. If you use aluminum trays, put them on a grate at the top of the smokig oven. If you let the cheese smoke for 60 minutes, you get a light smoke flavor. I smoke my cheeses for 2 hours but never reaches more than 32 °C (90 °F). If you can get oat straw, then come something on the smoke dust. Other herbs are also suitable for giving a characteristic flavor in the cheese. The larger the surface you have on the cheese, the more smoke it penetrates into the cheese. Recipe No. 40 Home made smoked cheese and two yogurt bread Serving: A good piece of rye bread is greased and then a layer of smoking cheese. Garnish: The freshly ground coarse pepper, radishes and chives decorate a food. Drinking: A cold pilsner with a good bowl of snaps fits excellently into homemade "Smoked Cheese". Hints: Make two trays with caraway and two without caraway. Not everyone likes caraway. Home made smoked cheese and two yogurt bread Du har sikkert bemærket, at jeg røger mine oste i 2 timer, hvor imod andre opskrifter siger nogle minutter. Hvorfor nu det? Røg ved lav temperatur indeholder mindre tjærestoffer - PAH (Polycycliske Aromatiske Hydrocarboner) som kan være kræftfremkaldende. Derfor røger jeg osten i lang tid ved lav temperatur. Andre opskrifter angiver nogle minutter ved høj temperatur. Du begynder med ca. 3,2 kg mælkeprodukter og ender med 720 g ost. Resten er afdryppet/fordampet valle, som enten kasseres eller bruges til bagværk. I Norge laver de myseost af vallen. I Schweiz laver de sodavand (Rivella) af vallen. Bager du hvidt brød, så udskift vandet med valle. Køb en pose Yoghurtbrød og 50 g gær, udskift 6 dl vand med 6 dl valle. Følg så blot opskriften på posen og du har et fantastisk godt brød. Drys lidt sesamfrø på toppen inden du bager brødet. Billederne tv viser en størrer portion "rygeost" i alu bakke med 360 g i hver.

The cakes can be frozen. Recipe No. 46 The ingredients for Russian pancakes with caviar Procedure without liability: In the 15 years I was traveling in the USSR, I was almost "stop-feeded" with blinis and Russian caviar without thinking about the price and how blinis was made. I asked my Old Russian interpreter, what kind of ingredients was included in the recipe for blinis. Above you'll find a recipe for blinis, but as Russian caviar is very expensive, this replaced with a more affordable product. In Russia they used Kefir, now only available in special stores in Denmark. I used Creme fraiché instead. Arla has previously produced Kefir, but due to lack of sales, the product is discontinued. Warm milk and butter up to 37 °C and dissolve the yeast in it. Add Kefir or Creme fraiché, the two varieties of flour, sugar, salt and egg yolks, constantly stirring. The batter should be very soft, like pancakes batter. Put the batter warm for one hour. Egg whites whipped stiff, and turned into batter. Blini pan heated with a daub of butter in each hollow and 2 tbsp. of batter comes up in each hollow. Broil now for 2 minutes on each side over good heat. Do not scorch = be too dark. There will be approx. 28 pieces out of the recipe. Note: I recently could not buy Buckwheat flour so I tried out with Durum flour from Italy. They were amazing good, try it if you did not get Buckwheat flour. Just remember that Buckwheat flour does not contain gluten as Durum flour does. So, if you have gluten intolerance. Russian pancakes with caviar and hot smoked trout Serving: Blinis served warm with "caviar" or trout roe little cold or hot smoked salmon, Creme fraiché and finely crushed red onion. Garnish: Dill finely crushed. Drink: In Russia I always drank Stolichnaya vodka and mineral water to blinis. Alternative Russian Champagne dry (sec = sukhoe) or half-dry (demi-sec = polu-sukhoe). Hints: Blinis can successfully be made also in an ordinary frying pan, just to make sure they do not become too great. Blinis can be frozen for later use, add parchment paper between layers. Thawed and warmed in the oven at 120 °C for approx. 10 minutes. Taste as freshly prepared, I have tried it. Alternative: Yorkshire Pudding. Get all eggs into a large bowl and wip well through. Put milk in and whip. Put flour in and whip well through. Add salt and pepper, wip until there are no lumps in the batter. Set the batter aside and let it rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature. Just before using the batter, add 3 tbsp. water and wip the batter again. The batter provides 500 ml. 42 ml per hole. Recipe No. 46 A Metal Muffin Tray and Yorkshire Pudding While the batter is resting, the oven is heated to 200 °C. Sunflower oil comes directly into the Metal Muffin Tray and put the Metal Muffin Tray back in the hot oven until it is very "HOT". Sunflower oil has a "smoking point" of 227 °C, which must not be exceeded in the oven. The Metal Muffin Tray is taken out and the batter is immediately distributed in the 12 holes - fill 1/2 up - after which the Metal Muffin Tray is returned and baked for 20 to 25 minutes at 200 °C. The cakes rise a lot, even without the raising agent. The oven must never be opened until the end, because the cakes collapses. They are very suitable for a dish with much sauce (gravy) in which the cake is dipped. Use Palmin (Palm oil) if eating the cake as a dessert, and sprinkle with icing sugar instead of salt and pepper. Palmin (Palm oil) has a "smoking point" of 232 °C. NOTE: If not all holes can be filled with batter, DO NOT leave oil in the empty holes due to fire hazard. The oil can evaporate and set fire to the oven. Trix: Fill the 3 holes to the left with oil and tilt the tray so the oil runs down to the other holes. When the oil reaches the edge of the last row, the oil is evenly distributed. Serving: Fill the hole with sour cream, added with little lemon and grated horseradish. Put some sliced smoked salmon over and garnish with "Black Caviar" (Lumpfish roe) and crushed dill. The dough should be better distributed next time

The meatballs taste excellent when they have spent the night in the good sauce and than you also save a lot of time cooking. But still, the dish has to be made at least the day before so that all the meat is permeated with the lovely taste in the sauce. Procedure without liability: I remember this meal from my childhood, where we used a calf's head, as well as several other pieces of meat, which I can not really recall. We were three families who went to the local slaughterhouse and bought meat, and at the greenery store we got the vegetables. Everything was cooked in the old disused wash copper boiler, which previously served as cooking vessel for laundry. It is now a "thing of the past", so here comes the new version without the risk of BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) also known as mad cow disease. You start the day before eating the dish. Place the meat in a large pot with 3 to 4 liters of water, the meat should be covered with water, preferably a little more because something evaporates along the way. Bring the water to a boil and froth well when boiling. Season with salt and cook while you clean all herbs and chop them into cubes. Add the herbs - bring to a boil - and cook under low heat for another 2 to 3 hours. When the meat is tender it is taken up and the veal is put under pressure until the next day. The soup is sieved and some of the herbs (carrot, celery, parsley root, parsnip) are blended and can be added to the soup at will. The soup is stored for the next day. The next day, start by boiling the soup for half an hour without a lid so that the soup becomes concentrated. The veal, which has been under pressure overnight, is cut out into bite-sized cubes. The tongue is peeled and fat and tendons are removed before the meat are cut into bite-sized cubes - maybe you should peel the tongue when it has cooled and you can touch it without burning your fingers. Osso Buco the pieces of meat are peeled off the bone, fat and tendons are removed before the meat are cut into bite-sized cubes. Make this sauce and bring the meat in: Make butter and flour into a dumpling bowl in a suitable large saucepan. Then pour in small quantities up to 1½ liters of the soup, which has been cooked and skimmed for fat. Remember to whip well so that lumps do not form in the sauce. Find a suitable texture and seasoning with tomato puree, Oyster sauce, Fish sauce, salt, the four spices and Sherry / Madeira. Color the sauce with food coloring. Add Mini Fish Cakes and Mini Meatballs gently warm it all through. The fishballs from the can are heated separately in a 220 degree hot oven for approx. 10 minutes. They are laid on top of the dish along with half eggs. What have mock turtle with fish to do. Only the fact that fish balls are included in the dish and it's my favorite New Year's Eve Mini Fish Cakes: Mix salt with minced fish and whisk the dough for a few minutes. Whisk the mixture well and add flour, spices and eggs one at a time. Gradually add cream until an appropriate consistency. If the mixture solidifies, put the bowl in hot water and whisk until smooth again. Check your spices and season to taste. Let the mixture stand 1 hour in the refrigerator. Form fishcake into small round balls with 2 spoons dipped in warm water. Fry them on the pan in butter and olive oil. Mini Meatballs: Come minced veal / pork in a bowl and grate onion and garlic. Add eggs, wheat flour, salt and spices. Heat a pan with butter and olive oil and form small meatballs in your hand with a desert spoon. Fry them on medium heat on both sides until golden brown.

Cold smoked salmon for Christmas Shopping List for many adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

The salmon in the picture weighs 4.6 kg in gutted weight I used 2 salmon of the same size for this recipe 10% brine made of: 666 grams of coarse salt 50 grams of sugar 6 liters of boiled, cold water (5 °C max) 15 to 20 l smoke sawdust beech and/or alder (mix half of each) ½ l juniper mulch provides a good, strong flavor but be careful with the dosage Obviously a smokig oven A lot of patience, it takes 3 to 4 days in total The fish were salted 36 hours in a refrigerator Smoked for 36 hours at an average temperature of 16 °C Used 18 l smoke sawdust mixed as described above The salmon smoked weighs 2.9 kg. Wastage 1.7 kg or 37% Recipe No. 66 One big, smoked salmon becomes sandwiches for many people Procedure without liability: Let it be said right away, you can only cold smoke, if air temperature is below 10 °C. There must be a difference between air temperature and the temperature in the Smoking Oven. Today - in late December 2013 - is the air temperature about 6 °C at day time and at night time 2 °C. Perfect for cold smoking, which is below 27 °C. Start by cutting the head off. Put the sharp knife just behind the breast fin and sloping up towards the back behind the gills. Cut through the back bone and down to the lower breast fin. Cut then the upper file off by passing the knife through the fish along the upper side of the back bone. The fish turned and the other fillet cut off in the same way. Fillets refined for the cutted ribs and back bones at the top, and the nervous bone that sits out from the body. Place the two fillets skin-side down in a suitably large plastbox suitable for food. Pour 666 grams of salt, 50 grams of sugar and 6 liters of cold water in a large saucepan and bring to the boil, untill the salt and sugar are dissolved. Set the brine to cool overnight. When the brine has a temperature of 5 °C pour the mixture over the fish. Keep the fish in the brine with a dish. Place all in the fridge - if necessary - and keep the temperature below 5 °C for 36 hours. This kind of salting called wet salting and provides a more uniform salty taste of the fish. In dry salting the fish are placed on a salt layers and on top pour so more salt to the fish is covered. This dry salting I use for small, freshly caught fish at a maximum of 3 kg and time is only 3 to 6 hours. After 36 hours remove the fish from the brine and rinse well in fresh, cold water. Wipe with a clean tea towel and put a string in the tail and tie the following way: Prick a hole through the skin 5 cm from the tail tip and put the string through. Tie a knot on the left side and then the right side. Do not tighten too strong, so the string cut through. Hang the fish to dry for several hours before being hung in the oven. I use my Smoking Oven with advantage to this, with the door and the hat open, there are drafts and the fish hangs in the shade. Two large salmon fillets finished smoked Note: If the temperature gets too high, the albuminous substances (protein) in the fish begins to coagulate and the meat will release the skin, which then fall down and just skin hanging back in the string. If the temperature can not be controlled and kept below 27 °C, I recommend putting the fish on the grates with skin side down. If necessary, use eel mountings hooks together with string. Now it is smoking time. The fish are taken out of the Smoking Oven before lighting up. Fill the labyrinth sawdust tray with smoking wood dust. A small cup of rubbing alcohol (½ cup) into the front of smoking wood dust and ignited. The door is ajar and smoking wood dust starts to burn by itself. Now the fish is hung into the Smoking Oven when the alcohol is burned off. Leave the door ajar throughout the process. The fish hung by the tail in the middle of the oven. In the beginning keep an eye on the temperature and after 1 hour it will stabilize at around 11 °C. Ambient temperature is only 1 °C, so there is a difference of 10 °C between the temperature inside and outside. Gradually the ambient temperature increaseo 6 °C and cause the temperature in the Smoking Oven to rise to 16 °C, which was the average temperature in the entire process. In the firing process, where there are flames, the temperature inside Smoking Oven rise to 25 °C for a short period. That's why I do not have fish in Smoking Oven before the flames are extinguished. The fish was smoked for 36 hours, so I had to filled up twice with smoking wood dust. I let all smoking wood dust burn out before there was filled up again. Start at 10:00AM burned out at 10:00PM. Did a new refill and that burned out during the night. Again 09:00 the next morning was a refill and 20:00PM it was burned out. The fish hung overnight and cooled in the Smoking Oven. The smoked salmon seen above and is ready to be divided into 3 pieces per side and packaged for the freezer. Garnish: Dill or cress is suitable for garnish. Drink: A cool, good, dry white wine in the summer. A beer and a dram in the winter. Tip: Come boiled, frozen prawns in a colander and put them into the Smoking Oven for the last 12 hours and you get fantastic shrimps.

Add the olive oil little by little so that it becomes a smooth mass. Season with salt and pepper. Blue Dragon Oyster Sauce is highly recommended. The cooked chickpeas can be frozen. Hummus can also be frozen. Recipe No. 71 Homemade hummus for falafel Procedure without liability: Start the day before by soaking the 500 g chickpeas in plenty of water overnight. Make sure they are completely covered with water as the chickpeas swell to double. Usually chickpeas should be boiled, but NOT in this dish for falafels as they become deep fried. If chickpeas are boiled first, the rolls crumbling into something that looks like bread crumbs and becomes inedible. For hummus, the chickpeas MUST be boiled for 1 hour to one and a half hours after soaking overnight. Feel free to change the water a few times a day. Falafel: The next day the water is poured off and the chickpeas are rinsed and blended finely in a food processor. Take half off for falafel and for hummus. Put the blended chickpeas and all the spices in the food processor - not flour and baking powder - blend it all very finely again. Now mix the chickpeas and spices in a bowl with the flour mixed with baking powder. Try to make a small rolls, it should be able to stick together.

Form the chickpea mixture into small rolls of approx. 50 to 60 g with a spoon in the palm of your hand. Put 2 rolls in the oil and fry them for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Take them up and place them on kitchen roll for draining. Check if they are crispy on the outside and the middle is soft and delicious. Continue until all rolls are fried while keeping the rolls warm until they are to be eaten. Clean the mackerel: Cut off the head and tail. Cut up from the gill to the tail and split the mackerel so that the backbone is exposed. Lift the backbone up and remove all breastbone with a fork. Some nerve bones protrude vertically in the middle, they are best removed with pliers. Cut the mackerel lengthwise so that there are two halves, but leave the skin on. See the picture. Fry the mackerel fillets very lightly on the skin side in butter for two minutes. Remember that the mackerel is smoked and ready to eat, so it is only to emphasize the taste that the mackerel is heated (fried) in butter.

Hints: When the temperature is 180 °C then try with 1 bowl for 2 ½ minutes. It should be brown - not black or light brown. If the rolls gets too much it becomes black and the water in the peas disappears and the rolls draws the oil into the peas. It is clearly visible on the kitchen roll, it runs completely with oil. Warning: Be aware that the fumes from the oil can ignite if the oil is heated on a gas burner. Therefore, have a lid ready to put over the pot, should this happen, never use water to put out the flames. Heat the oil in the pan slowly without the lid. Some recipes state that Falafel is also made from horse beans. I would advise against it, as horse beans are toxic to some people if the recipe is not followed. Allergic to raw or unripe beans.

Homemade liver pate with homemade beetroot Shopping List for 4 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

Liver pate 600 g calf liver (or pork liver) 300 g pickle salted smoked speck without rind 50 g duck fat (or butter) 1 pkg. thin bacon slices or field mushrooms for garnish ½ l good soup (fund of pork, chicken, veal or beef) 3 whole eggs 2 onions 4 cloves garlic 1 peeled cooking apples (sour) 50 g wheat flour ½ glass Lykkeberg anchovies approx. 7 pcs. Can be omitted 1 tbsp.. thyme 1 tsp. allspice 1 tsp. grated nutmeg 1 tsp. salt Freshly ground pepper Recipe No. 72 I got 5 trays liver pate a 4.5 dl of the recipe Beetroot 2 kg large fresh beetroot Vinegar brine 1 liter of vinegar 1 kg sugar 1 large onion (or 2 glass pearl onions) 4 cloves garlic 1 red chilli pepper 5 cm fresh horseradish 2 tbsp. caraway 1 Tbsp. Atamon Salt brine Water to cover beetroots 4 tbsp. salt for the cooking of the beetroots Rye bread with liver pate, beetroot and mushrooms Procedure for liver pate without liability: Start the day before to make a good soup (fond) cooked on soup bones and root vegetables. As a curiosity I can mention that I had to do the meal in Sweden, where I could not get "Danish soup bones", so I bought a packet oxtail and a packet roots. In this package there was also beetroot, which was not cooked with the soup, but used for pickled beetroots. Oxtail pieces were placed in a large pot with 3 liters of water and brought to a boil. The soup was good skimmed and added a little (1 tsp.) salt. Remember you can always add salt, but it's hard to take any salt out. The soup cooked under the weakest mode (half on the stove) for 10 hours while we were out fishing. By returning the broth was strained and measured up. Good 1 l was left, after the upper fat layer was skimmed off. It was the best foundation that I have ever tasted. The rest was used to cook a chicken soup on. If you do not like this work, you can use bouillon cubes of your choice, or Knorr Beef Fund "Du Chef". (Some people use milk instead). Do you have a meat mincer of good quality, start chopping half the liver, then chop onion, garlic, anchovy, thyme, allspice, nutmeg, salt, freshly ground pepper and finally the rest of the liver in a bowl with the eggs? Stir liver mass well together. In another bowl chop the smoked bacon. It's because I chop smoked speck twice, it should be mentioned that I have cut the rind off. When the speck is chopped, chop the apple, and then the last speck comes out. Mix now liver mass and chopped speck. Must be stirred well before the sauce mixed in. Bake a thick sauce: Melt the duck fat (butter) in a saucepan and stir flour in to make a flour dumpling. Bake over a low heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes while you slowly pour the soup in. The sauce must be cooled before mixed with the liver mass. Would you like to taste the liver mass to possibly more salt and pepper, then it is now. Now it's up to you how great baking aluminum containers you want to bake your liver pate in. I use 4.5 ml aluminum containers, which I bake in a water bath for approx. 60 minutes at 180 to 200 °C. Aluminum containers put into a preheated oven (200 °C) with baking tray in the bottom / middle shelf filled with ½ liter of cold water. For this portion liver pate must be used 5 aluminum containers a 4.5 dl. There are approx. 2000 g of liver mass; 400 g of liver mass is filled into each baking aluminum containers. There are several sizes of aluminum containers: 2.5 ml, 4.5 ml, 9 ml, 1.2 liter and 2.2 liter, and all must have different baking times in the oven. Small aluminum containers less time and larger aluminum containers more time. You may even try this in your oven. Hints: If you use smoked bacon in liver mass, do not use thin bacon slices on top for garnish, but roast some field mushrooms and use them instead. Procedure for beetroots without liability: I never liked store-bought beetroot, because I think they taste "earthy". If you have the same idea, then you should try this recipe. With 100% guarantee they taste not of earth. Be careful cleaning of the beetroots. Wash beetroots free from soil and boil them in salted water for 45 minutes for large and 30 minutes for small beetroots. Then pour boiling water off and put the pot under cold running water for 5 minutes or more, they must be cold. The sudden change in temperature causes the beetroots get a "shock" and the cells burst and beetroots are tender. The skin is rubbed lightly by hand and the top and bottom cut off. Beetroots cut into suitable pieces and if it should be "smart" use a ribbed beetroot knife. Onions, garlic, chili pepper and horseradish cleaned and cut into slices. Vinegar brine brings to the boil with the sugar and the cleaned spices and caraway. Beetroots put in the vinegar brine and brought back to a boil for 3 minutes. Turn off and add 1 tbsp. Atamon. Beetroots put in clean glass, which is rinsed with Atamon. The glasses are filled up with vinegar brine to cover completely. The glasses are closed immediately and stored cold and dark. It occupies a total of 3 liters, so 6 glasses a ½ liter will be suitable. They can easily keep for at least 6 months unopened, but believe me; they are eaten by then, because they taste wonderful. Many of my friends have asked for the recipe, so it speaks for itself. Come just started this fall, where beetroots are fresh and cheap. Serving: Beetroot is eaten with many meals, but what is bread with liver pate without beetroot, not to mention a pig or calves canning food with mustard and beetroot? Chopped beetroots to a beef tartar are a "must". Yes! I could go on, but now I have become hungry and will stop here. Garnish: Should I mention something, it becomes a green lettuce leaf underneath the liver pâté and roasted thin bacon slices on top. Drink: Without exception - a cold lager beer - is a "must". Hints: Instead of an onion, you can use 1 large or 2 small glass pearl onions. Maybe both, because onions also taste good on liver pate.

The procedure is almost the same. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Rinse the aubergine and courgette in cold water and dry them on kitchen paper and cut them into thin slices lengthwise. Squeeze a little lemon over. Lemon contains vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant and prevents the aubergine and courgette slices from turning dark. Peel the baking potato and cut it into thin slices lengthwise. Now the three fruits must be fried on a pan in olive oil and it can be advantageous to fry them separately. Start with 1st layer: Potato. - 2nd layer: Aubergine. - 3rd layer: Courgette. Sprinkle the slices with a little salt when they are fried.

The cod fillets are sprinkled with a little salt and pepper and fried very briefly in a hot pan in olive oil. About 30 sec. on every side. The moussaka is then assembled as follows: In an ovenproof dish greased with olive oil, put the 1st layer: Potato, above this fish fillet and tomato sauce. 2nd layer: Aubergine, above this fish fillet and tomato sauce. 3rd layer: Courgette, above this fish fillet and tomato sauce. Lamb: Peel and chop the onion and garlic, fry it in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Add the minced lamb and brown it over medium heat while stirring. Season with salt, pepper and ground cumin.

Dilute with milk while stirring vigorously and increase the heat so that the sauce boils for 2 minutes. Be careful it doesn't burn. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool, then stir in an egg yolk. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Grate the cheese and whisk it into the white sauce, pour the white sauce over the dish with Fish or Lamb. Bake for approx. 20 to 30 minutes at 180 degrees. If the surface becomes too dark, place a piece of aluminum foil over the last 5 to 10 minutes. Serving: Served with a tomato salad, a good bread (sour bread with cumin) and a good white/red wine. Garnish: Fresh oregano is the thing for fish and maybe prawns baked with the last 10 minutes. Fresh mint is the thing for lamb. Drink: Same white/red wine as used for the dish. Tip: Other types of lean fish can also be used.

Smoked dab, in Danish smoked bakskuld Shopping List for 8 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

How to smoke a dab 16 pcs. fresh dab 5 kg coarse salt (depending on your salt jar) 16 liters or 4 kg smoke dust (depending on your smokig oven) 100 g of sugar Recipe No. 74 High season for dab from October to January How to serve a dab 2 pcs. dab per person 2 slices of good rye bread tooth thick butter to rye bread little unsalted butter for frying little tartar sauce (I don't use it) 2 pcs. lemon wedges 2 pcs. Cold beer 4 glass of aquavit (a must for some) How to smoke and serve a dab Procedure without liability: A "Bakskuld" (Danish for smoked dab) is a salted, dried and smoked dab. Dab from the West Coast and is a known eating since the 1700 century. I even know dab from my childhood by the North Sea, and every time I go to Henne Strand, I'm going to the port of Esbjerg to buy a box of dab. In the old days it was a poor man's food, but trust me on Zealand is it the sea of gold. Bakskuld = dab belongs to the flounder family and was also called dabs or shoulder. Dab was then caught on hooks attached to lines that were more than 100 meters long, hence the name longline. It was fisherwomen at Esbjerg Harbour, in the 1700 century put the bait on longlines, and got them in trays (bakker) with 400 hooks. From there the name bakskuld (trayshoulder). Let it be said at once, today's cooking of dabs is done in 3 days, because time is money. First day the fish are cleaned and salted, second day the fisk are oven dried and third day are the fish smoked. A live dab of 300 g becomes a smoked dab of 150 grams and costs about DKK 30.00 or DKK 200.00 per kg. In Hvide Sande, where they are called dabs, to DKK 11.00 for 100 g or DKK 110.00 per kg. My description below is the old recipe. It also means that weight loss is greater, but the shelf life is longer. How to smoke a dab: Clean the fish by cutting the head off and remove all the guts, rinse fish blood from the abdominal cavity with water. In a suitable salt jar sprinkle the bottom with salt and fish laid over without the overlap. Sprinkle again with salt over the fish. Add another layer of fish and sprinkle again with salt. This is repeated as long as there are fish, and ending with a layer of salt. You need a lot of coarse salt then buy it in the Metro in 25 kg bags. The fish are put under pressure with a suitable, clean material and put cold for 7 days. My salt jar suit the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Then take the fish up and rinse thoroughly with clean, cold water. Now comes an important point, the fish MUST dry thoroughly before they are smoked. Tie them together in pairs in the tails with string. Plug a hole through the fish and pull the string through, tie each fish at each end of the string. The fisk should not slap together by drying and later by smoking. The time for drying may vary according to the season and how they dried. At the west coast, I have seen the fish hanging on the clothesline with laundry. They can also be dried in an open carport, but of course they can not hang out in the rain. I use my smokig oven who has a fan at the bottom. When the fish looks and acts like a rigid board, it is time to smoke. It might take a week to dry the fish. The fish are cold smoked (max 27 °C) in two rounds. Start early morning with a labyrinth tray filled with smoke dust and let it burn through. In my smokig oven it takes about 12 hours with 8 l smoke dust. Repeat it again the next day and let the fish hang overnight. After the smoking process the fish must be dried again a few days before they are packed for freezing. Yes! You read that right, I freeze them in pairs so they can keep at least 9 months in the freezer and can be taken up in portion size. If you can not or feel like all this work, you grab for your wallet and buy the ready-prepared dabs. Do not miss to taste these "Sea Gold (fish)". How to smoke and serve a dab How to serve a dab: My favorite meal: With a powerful pair of scissors, cut off the fins and tail. Carefully peel off the skin on both sides by inserting a knife under the skin on the side where the intestines were. Tear up and help with a thumb under the skin, then it goes like a breeze. Melt a good blob of unsalted butter on the pan and gently fry the fish in it. It must in no way "branke", the fish just needs to be warmed well through and draw butter into the meat. The dab is split into four fillets by cutting along the center line down to the backbones and out towards the sides. 4 fillets suit 1 piece of rye bread with tooth butter, 1 beer and 2 dram. Here I can mention in Hvide Sande they drank good coffee punch to the dab. It was probably because it was a "alcohol-free city" - at that time - then the alcohol was not seen. Grill: Fins and tail cut off as above, and then place it on the grill. But the skin will remain on. It can easily become too dry if it gets too much heat, so check often for the fish. Salt taste is also more penetrating, as the meat does not get butter. The skin ripping off before eaten as above. Microwave oven: See above under "My favorite meal", but instead of a frying pan placed the fish on a plate suitable for microwave oven with a good dollop of unsalted butter on top. How long it should have, I can not say, but try your way, first by 3 minutes and then with 1-minute intervals. Garnish: My opinion is that smoked dabs are served without too much garnish, but some prefer a little tartar sauce and lemon wedges. Drink: You must have a good beer and two punch / dram to each smoked dab. Tip: In the recipe above says 100 g sugar. I use a tablespoon for each layer of fish. There is a Facebook group called: Bakskulderne - Os der elsker Bakskuld. Mogens Lund is the author of the group. Visit the page and find out where you can buy BAKSKULD - (DAB).

Bacalhau - Good Friday dinner Shopping List for 4 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

500 to 600 g dried salted cod (dry weight) 800 g firm potatoes 1 large onion 4 cloves garlic 100 ml extra virgin olive oil 25 ml dry white wine or white wine vinegar 100 ml whipping cream 8 pcs. black olives without stone 8 pcs. green olives without stone 8 pcs. bay leaves 1 bunch chopped parsley 2 large ripe tomatoes 1 large red bell pepper 1 tsp. grated horseradish 4 hard-boiled eggs (optional) Coarse black pepper from the mill Season with salt, if necessary Recipe No. 77 Bacalhau - Good Friday dinner for 2 people Procedure without liability: For Bacalhau is used salt cod, which is a salted and dried cod. Before you can use the salt cod, it must be diluted well. It takes 24 to 48 hours, depending on the thickness of the salt cod and also how hard/dry and salted the fish is. In the old days one bought a whole salt cod of 5 kg for no money, because it was considered "dog food", read poor man's food in Denmark. This is by no means more considered poor man's food. I would think that 1 kg costing well over DKK 100.00 I will return with a price. In southern Europe, Spain and Portugal and other Catholic countries it is a delicacy and a must to eat fish during Lent (no meat). However, it is not the only reason to eat Bacalhau, for it tastes good when the cooking is done by the recipe. Try it yourself, buy a pack of salt cod from your fishmonger and look for the package with the thickest pieces of cod. Fillets cut into pieces of 8 cm and placed in a large glass / plastic bowl with cold water and placed in a refrigerator at 5 °C. Every 6 hours replace the water with fresh cold water. You will see that cod swells and thickens every time. It is essential to have control over the temperature so as not to spoil the cod, but do not worry if you follow the recipe, there is no danger. When the time is up - 24/36/48 hours - you can taste a small piece of cod, and evaluate the results. Must taste salty, not too salty. Salt cod is sold with the skin on, and it must be removed before the dinner is made in the oven. This can be done either before the salt cod is diluted or after it has been diluted. I did it after dilution with no problems put a knife in between the skin and the flesh and pull the skin gently off. If you take the skin off before dilution, you may save 6 hours, since the fish pulls water in from both sides. Bring plenty of water to a boil in a large pot with bay leaves. When the water boils turned down the heat and the diluted salt cod are put in. Let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, then take the fish up in a towel to allow to drain and cool down. (Not paper towel for it glue to the fish). When the fish have cooled remove large fish bones and skins. Is it large fillets, they can eventual be cut into small (bite-sized) pieces. Save the fish a little longer. In the same pot with the same water put the potatoes and a tsp. salt, only boil for 15 minutes, so they do not cook out (mashed potatoes), but is still a la dente. Peel the potatoes and cut them into suitable slices. On a hot frying pan heat some olive oil and sauté the onion first, then the garlic. Do not brown but just be clear and golden. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. In an ovenproof dish allocated half of the potatoes in the bottom pour whipping cream over and season with freshly ground black pepper. Place the fish over the potatoes pour white wine over season with freshly ground black pepper. The rest of the sliced potatoes and onions to be evenly distributed on top of the fish. Add tomato slices, pepper strips, chopped olives and sprinkle a bit of parsley on. Pour olive oil over. Place the dish in the oven for 30 minutes covered with aluminum foil, and then removing it, and the fish is baked about 15 minutes more. Remove the dish from the oven and pour dropwise rest of the olive oil over. Bacalhau means cod in Portuguese Serving: Place the dish on table and serve it steaming hot. Garnish: The meal can be garnished with hard-boiled eggs in boats and chopped parsley. It is part for Easter. Drink: A cold white wine is well suited to the dinner. Use the same white wine, which is used for the dinner. Hints: There is also another form of dried cod - Stockfish. Stockfish is not salted, but must also be diluted before use. Perhaps only overnight, I have not tried it yet.

It is important to put a damp tea towel over so the dough does not dry out. FilloDejen cut into appropriate sized pieces, to fit a piece of salmon with filling. Place a piece of salmon on FilloDejen, fill up with cottage cheese and garnish with shrimp. Fold dough over from one side, fold the ends over and roll, so the other covers. Just before the last lap covers, get a strip flour-glue on. The technique is the same as you are doing spring rolls. Is salmon pieces very large, it is advantageous to cut them into smaller piece. Baking time depends on how much filling you put in FilloDejen. Salmon packets placed on a baking tray with baking paper with flour-glue side down and brushed with water. Placed in the middle of a 180 °C preheated oven and baked for approx. 30 minutes. Very small packets maybe only 20 minutes, and very large packets maybe 40 minutes. Keep an eye on the packets so they do not get too brown (black). My salmon pieces, as seen in the picture above, weighed 100 grams per piece. and had 30 minutes in the oven. Hollandaise Sauce: Whisk the egg yolks and sour cream together in a bowl over a water bath. The mixture must be fluffy before the cold diced butter is whipped into the egg mixture. Heat the sauce through without boiling it. Season with salt and white pepper. Add a little lemon juice and call the sauce Hollandaicesauce, add a lot of lemon juice and call the sauce Lemon Sauce. That's it. Finished baked salmon with shrimp baked in Fillo Dough Serving: Can be eaten with or without accessories, but I prefer cooked rice and a light sauce. Either a Hollandaise or a Lemon Sauce. Garnish: One of the above herbs chopped and sprinkled over the meal before serving. Drink: A dry white wine such as Trouos Chardonnay from Chile. Hints: You can with advantage put 2 sheets FilloDej together brushed with a little water before filling. Can extend the baking time by a few minutes. This recipe is very similar to my recipe above "Salmon or trout fillet baked in puff pastry". FilloDej contains less calories than puff pastry, and is also more crunchy. Try it.

The salad can be prepared as well, but there must not be poured oil, vinegar and salt before it is served, as it is not "crisp" more. The recipe with regard to times and temperatures is for my charcoal grill with built-in heater for lighting the charcoal. The grill was made ready with heater and coal and turned on at 15.00 o'clock. 16.00 o'clock, the temperature was 230 °C and rump roast has been placed on the grid with the cutted surface down. After 8 minutes, it was turned and got another 7 minutes. Then the rump roast was put in tin foil tray and put on the grid again with potatoes in tin foil around.

Olive oil, apple cider vinegar and salt poured/sprinkled first over before serving. Adjust how strong you want to make the salad with chili peppers, removing the seeds out is the salad not as strong (hot).

Stuffed peppers with tuna and bulgur Shopping List for 4 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

1 can tuna in oil or water 1 dl bulgur (or 75 g) 4 nice, big red peppers 1 red chili peppers chopped 2 cloves garlic minced 2 large, ripe tomatoes chopped 1 large onion chopped fine 16 pcs. pitted black olives chopped 2 tbsp. capers 100 g grated dry cheese 4 tbsp. olive oil if tuna in water Season with salt and pepper into the mixture A little butter/olive oil to the ovenproof dish Accessories Garlic baguette or a good bread to your taste Recipe No. 85 Ingredients for stuffed peppers with tuna and bulgur Procedure without liability: Rinse bulgur well in cold water and allow to soak for one hour, then pour all the water off. Boil 1 dl bulgur in 3 dl lightly salted water for 10 minutes. Then drain the bulgur into a sieve. Tuna in oil / water is also added to drainage in a sieve. Add some oil to the dish. Prepare the stuffing for the peppers. Cut a cross in the tomatoes and pour them with boiling water. Peel the tomatoes and chop them roughly. Finely chop chili pepper, garlic, onion, olives and capers and mix it with the tomatoes. The tuna meat is peeled apart and mixed in the vegetables. If you use tuna in water then add some olive oil. Bulgur is then mixed in and the stuffing is ready to "stuff" the peppers. You can choose to do it in two ways. Slice the peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds and seed stalks (the white part) or cut the top off and use the top as a lid. Also remove seeds and seed stalks inside with a spoon. Keep the stalk on top and use it as a handle. I always use that method with the lid and handle. Fill the peppers with the "stuffing", put them in a greased ovenproof dish and bake in a 200 °C preheated oven for 30 minutes for half and 35 minutes for whole peppers. Sprinkle with cheese and bake another 15 minutes for the half and 20 minutes for whole peppers. When using a convection oven calculates always 20 °C lower temperature, but the same time.

Garnish: Grated cheese of a dry type if you grate the cheese - otherwise there are many opportunities. Drink: I used a cold Carlsberg.

If you prefer rice, it can be used instead of bulgur. Put a small glass of dry Sherry in the bottom of the dish, it gives a nice aroma. Note: In my meal above, I used 2 dl of bulgur, but I think it was too much, so the rest came on the bottom of the ovenproof dish.

Sun eggs with marinated herring or smoked salmon Shopping List for 4 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

Saturated brine 26%, or 24 °Baume at 4 °C 1 liter of water to the brine 350 g of salt to the brine 8 large eggs of good quality 2 large onions to be sliced 1 red chili pepper, sliced 2 cloves garlic, sliced 3 cm ginger, sliced 2 tbsp. apple vinegar Fill to the eggs Mustard of your choice (Dijon) Tabasco Apple vinegar Accessories 4 marinated herring or 4 smoked salmon pieces 4 slices of rye bread with butter to your taste See my calculation of Brine Minimum strength of brine, 10% or 112 g of salt per liter of water Recipe No. 86 Sunny eggs with herring for 2 people for lunch Procedure without liability: Cut the onions with the brown shells into slices (peel gives the yellow color), cut chili pepper, garlic and ginger into thin slices. Get 1 liter of water in a pot with a little apple vinegar and bring to the boil with the spices for 10 minutes. Strain the water off and save it for the brine. In a pot boil the eggs in fresh water with a little vinegar for 30 minutes. Add the cooked spices. Why do eggs boil for 30 minutes? This gives a gray-green film on the yoke, which is caused by hydrogen sulphide in the albumen, which react with the iron in the yolk at a temperature in the yolk above 70 °C. This gray-green film is quite harmless and is only for the optics. When the eggs are cooked remove and cool. Press them and roll them around the kitchen table, so the cracks. This gives the eggs a great pattern that appear on the surface when peeled. Brine made of water from before with salt, bring to the boil and cool brine for about an hour. All eggs are laid in a jar with tight fitting lid. The cooled brine poured over to cover the eggs and close the cover. Set the glass cool and dark for at least 2 weeks before the eggs consumed. The eggs can be kept for several months when kept cool and dark. The amount of salt listed above is for "pub eggs", you get thirsty from eating them. Sunny eggs with smoked salmon for 2 people for lunch Serving: Peel the eggs and cut them lengthwise and yolk removed. Fill with a little mustard, Tabasco, and vinegar in the hole. Add half a yolk onto with the cut surface down. Server 2 eggs and 1 marinated herring or smoked salmon per person on a plate with a buttered rye bread. The smoked salmon pieces are of course smoked in my old cast iron pot. Garnish: Dill, chives or other herbaceous will embellish the meal. Drink: I can only recommend a dram per half egg and a cold Tuborg/Carlsberg to rinse with. Note: An egg consists of a shell, egg white and yolk. The shell weighs approx. 10% and is porous so as to diffuse gas (carbon dioxide) of the egg. The white weighs approx. 2/3 and the yolk around 1/3 of the rest of the egg weight. The white of a fresh egg is "cloudy" and viscous, gradually diffuse carbon dioxide out of the eggshell and the white becomes more clear and thinner. The white of fresh eggs coagulate at 62 - 65 °C, whereas the "old" eggs coagulate at 59-62 °C. So it takes longer time to boil a fresh egg. Yolk coagulating at a somewhat elevated temperature, 65-70 °C. Can you see the problem? The yolk is in the middle of the white, and protects it from the heat. If yolk should coagulate, the temperature should be above 70 °C, and now the white stiffened and turned white. The limit I call boiled egg (smiling eggs); if you cut the egg over the yolk runs out. Eggs always gently submerged in boiling water. Piercing the blunt end with a needle, but be careful. Put the egg with the blunt end on a tbsp. and deep spoon with egg 1/3 into the water before it boils for a few seconds. This applies most for "old" eggs. The gas that has accumulated leaks, and prevent the shell cracking. Always boil in plenty of salted water or vinegar. The amount of water prevents the temperature from reducing much, if cooked many eggs taken straight from the fridge. Salt and/or vinegar coagulate the white immediately if it would flow out of a crack. I have made a spreadsheet for how long eggs should be boiled. Find it under "Excel Spreadsheets". I have set the following temperatures of the yolk: Soft Boiled 63 °C , boiled egg 70 °C and hardboiled 82 °C.

The fish is cut into two fillets 3-5 kg pollack, or saithe Cod can also be used Brine 13% or 12° Baume 3 liters of water 440 g of salt 40 g sugar 2 to 4 beetroots 1 to 2 lemons Dressing 1 dl neutral cold-pressed edible oil grapeseed oil or Rapeseed oil which is a healthy cooking oil 1 lemon juice Smoking 4 l sawdust of beech for hot smoking (3 hours) 8 l of sawdust of beech for cold smoking (48 hours) Recipe No. 87 Fresh cod fillet without bones Cod fillet dyed in beetroot juice Hot smoked cod fillet put in oil The cod fillet has been picked Finished Sea Salmon Salad mixed with mayonnaise stirred with a mild curry and seasoned with lemon Procedure without liability: Let it be said at once, "Sea salmon" does not exist, it is an invented name or just a trade name for a fish product invented around 1931 in Denmark and before in Germany. At the time, the North Sea was full of saithe and pollack, it was almost "bad" fish for no money. Therefore, the fish were processed and got the trade name "Sea salmon" and could then be eaten in Denmark and exported to Germany. "Sea salmon" was obtained by the saithe were filleted, colored pink and put into the smoke-acid (acetum pyrolignosum crud) or in English Liquid smoke. Then the fish was doused with various edible oils and preservatives, so you got the feeling of eating a fatty "Salmon". I must admit that I have eaten many bags of "Sea salmon" salad without knowing how it was made. It tasted good, and I survived. "Sea salmon" salad in this form are not produced any more due to two things: The method was not appreciated by the health authorities and breeding of caged-salmon in Norway was cheaper than going fishing for saithe and pollack. OK! it is not only in Norway, one is breeding salmon. I come up here with a recipe for "Sea salmon" that does not contain dangerous dyes and smoke-acid, but only natural ingredients plus a little smoke. Start by making a brine solution of 13% with a little sugar and lemon juice. Boil water, salt, sugar and lemon juice with 4 peeled and sliced beetroots for 10 minutes. Set the brine to cool during the day and refrigerate overnight. The next day the two cleaned fillets are put in the brine and remain 12 hours in a refrigerator at 5 °C. The fillets are taken up and rinsed in clean, cold water and hung to dry for several hours. Fillets may tail tied or placed on hooks within the smokig oven. Hot smoking Ensure good smoke in the smokig oven and the temperature is around 70 °C. Hold this temperature for 15 minutes to 30 minutes and then go down to 50 °C over the next two hours by pouring a good amount of sawdust on the fire. After 2 ½ hours, the temperature would be around 30 °C and the fish can then "spend the night" in Smoke house to pull the last flavors into the meat. However, only in the winter when night temperatures are low. Cold smoking Fill labyrinth sawdust tray with sawdust, and cold smoke the fish in the same way as if it was a salmon. The recipe for cold smoked salmon can be found on my website. I will here in the winter of 2013/14 try to cold smoked cod, to find out if sea salmon salad is just as good when cold smoked. Place a fillet on a plate and drizzle the meat side with lemon and pour a neutral cooking oil over the fish. Can you eat both fillets over 3 days you do the same with both fillets. Otherwise vacuumers the other fillets and frozen for later use. Serving: I would "picking" the fish into small pieces and put the meat on a lettuce leaf over a good piece of bread. Garnish: Drip perhaps more lemon on the fish, place a strip of mayonnaise and sprinkle with cress. Drink: A cold beer with a dram or a cold, dry white wine can also be used. Hints: You may mix some fish meat with mayonnaise and a mild curry instead of pouring the oil over the fish. Note: Smoke acid is also called wood vinegar. It is a brown liquid with a sour and bitter taste slightly after tar, which in no way must be ingested in concentrated form. It was used in the past to preserve food and give these a smoky taste. My sample with the two cod fillets was salted in beetroot juice for 24 hours and smoked for 10 minutes at 70 °C in my cast iron pan.

Numbers in parenthesis are for the small baking tin 100 g (80 g) of sunflower seed 100 g (80 g) of linseed 100 g (80 g) of sesame seeds 100 g (80 g) pumpkin seeds 100 g (80 g) walnuts 100 g (80 g) of hazelnuts 60 g (60 g) of pine nuts 40 g (40 g) of almonds 1 dl (3/4 dl) olive oil 6 eggs (4 eggs) medium 1 tsp. fine salt Stone Age Bread in large tin fills 1.35 liters Stone Age bread in small tin fills 1.0 liters Recipe No. 89 Stone Age bread unbaked Stone Age bread baked Stone Age bread in a new 1 liter baking tin. Unbaked Stone Age bread in a new 1 liter baking tin. Baked Procedure without liability: It is important to follow the recipe exactly. Weigh out all the ingredients carefully, so there is 700 g (580 g) seeds and nuts in total. Do not use any kind of grains. Crack 6 eggs into a bowl, whip lightly olive oil and salt in. Then mix all the seeds and nuts well in a new bowl before they empty into the eggs while stirring. Let stand and rest for 10 minutes on the kitchen table while the oven heats up to 160 °C. The mixture was poured into a greased baking tin with olive oil. I have used a tin of 2.8 liters (1 liter of a new tin) for ordinary rye bread, thus becoming the Stone Age Bread not so high. A tin of 1 liter will certainly give a higher bread, but it is of course a matter of taste. One must remember that it is not a yeast bread, so it does not rise. I have now bought a new baking tin of 1 liter in Rema 1000 to 15.00 DKK. I shall try it and come up with a new description, because I think that the amount must be reduced, as the thin probably is a bit too small for the above quantities. I have now calculated the amount for the new tin, and the amount can be seen in parentheses. The mixture is put into the hot oven on the bottom rack and bake for 60 minutes. I used the eggs of size L/M, so I had to give 10 more minutes baking time. Your oven can also give rise to smaller/larger baking time. Serving: Stone Age Bread eaten as an accompaniment to many fish meals or as "snacks" to a cold beer or a good red wine. Garnish: Of course you can garnish everything, but Stone Age Bread needs no garnishment. It would just be a thin layer Heather honey from the Jutland heath. Drink: As mentioned a cold beer or a good red wine winter and a cold white wine summer. Hints: Set definitive the tin on a rack if it is put on a baking tray, the bottom of the tin will be too hot, so Stone Age Bread turns black at the bottom. It has something to do with all the eggs.

Herbs put in pork lard and boil for approx. 30 minutes. Then put duck fat and a stalk of thyme to the pan and cook for the next 15 minutes. You should be sure that all the water in onions and apples are cooked, and they are golden brown and floating on top of the lard.

Marinated lamb with creamed potatoes Shopping List for 4 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

2 kg leg of lamb boneless 2 kg of potatoes 5 cups milk and cream (half of each) Salt, white pepper and grated nutmeg Ingredients for the marinade 2 tbsp. sea salt 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 tbsp. dry tarragon 1 tbsp. dry parsley 1 tbsp. dry rosemary 5 cloves garlic 1.5 ml red wine Mix these ingredients in a blender Add the fresh herbs Some fresh thyme stalks Some fresh rosemary stalks Some fresh parsley stalks Some fresh tarragon stalks Some bay leaves Some anise stars Recipe No. 93 Marineret lammekølle med flødestuvede kartofler og Shopska Salat Procedure without liability: The recipe for this wonderful marinade for a good Easter lamb I got from my fish mate wife here for Easter. When the dried spices, salt and red wine is blended rub it well into the leg of lamb and then placed in a solid plastic bag with the fresh herbs. The rest of the wine with the blended spices poured in. The bag is closed tightly (use maybe 2 bags) and place in the refrigerator for several days (like three days) and turned daily a few times. Now the leg of lamb shall be roasted and there are many ways to do it. Here I use a hot air oven. Cooking time depends on the oven temperature and the weight of the leg of lamb, and how red the meat should be. Therefore, use a meat thermometer and check the core temperature. When the meat has reached these temperatures: Red meat between 60 °C and 63 °C - medium between 63 °C and 66 °C - well done between 66 °C and 70 °C. Remember that the roast must rest at least 20 minutes wrapped in tin foil and a clean tea towel before being cut out. The temperature of the roast will rise at least 5 °C, so take this into consideration. Heat the oven to 150 °C with hot air, set the temperature sensor into the center of the meat, set the clock to 1 hour and 30 minutes, then the meat should be about medium rare for a leg of lamb at 2 kg. Keep an eye on the temperature during the process. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Place in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle with salt, white pepper and grated nutmeg between the layers. Pour the cream and milk over so it just covers. Place the dish in the oven under the roast lamb so that it drips down onto the potatoes. It gives a good flavor to the potatoes. 1 hour and 30 minutes goes well with potatoes, see however, that they do not get too brown or bake dry. Serving: Slice the roast and place it on the table with creamed potatoes in the ovenproof dish. The best salad to the meal is a Shopska Salad. See under hints. Garnish: Parsley or mint, perhaps a mint gel. Drink: The same red wine, which was used for the marinade. Hints: Shopska salad made of: ½ cucumber, 2 tomatoes, 1 onion or 4 spring onions, 1 green pepper (paprika), 1 green chili pepper, parsley for garnish, 8 green/black olives, Feta cheese, diced 36%, Olive Oil and Balsamic, a sprinkle salt for dressing.

Rake fish is a Norwegian specialty made of trout Shopping List for 4 adults - Danish version Next Down    Next Up

This will be used for salting: 10 live trout between 550 g and 750 g each It is important that all trout are equal and total fresh 60 grams of salt per kilogram of slaughtered fish (6 % salt/kg fish) ½ tsp. sugar per layer fish in the "barrel" This will be used for new brine: 1 liter of water 50 g salt Boiled and cooled to 5 °C Rakefisk is a Norwegian specialty which is made of small trout. It is most trout, røye, char, whitefish, grayling and perch. In Denmark one could benefit from using rainbow trout. If you buy the fish, they must be a live on the purchase. The fish must not have been in contact with the soil. The word "barrel" refers to an approved food plastic container with a lid. Recipe No. 95 Rake fish is a Norwegian specialty made of trout Procedure for salting without responsibility: I must immediately warn against making rake fish yourself if no hygiene and temperature can be respected to the letter. Trout should never come into contact with soil bacteria. This can happen if they have been on the ground, or been in contact with vegetables. All "tackle" must be clean and suitable for food. The temperature during the curing process - maturation - should not exceed 5-8 °C. The barrel or plastic bucket is placed in a deep, dark cellar or in a refrigerator. Now we can start. I usually cut the trout from the gat to the head and take the guts out. The gills cut out and all blood washed away. Obtain a 10 liter plastic bucket, it is used for tartar sauce, pickles and potato salad in commercial kitchens. Or a different size to suit the amount of fish that you will "rake". But remember that plastic bucket must be approved for food item. Here is the Norwegian recipe and some preface: Both enzymes and certain microorganisms found naturally in fish, they become active when the fish are slaughtered. The process is initiated in the fish, leading to altered taste and increase shelf life, food is easier to digest. One explanation is that the enzyme initiates a cleavage of the long protein molecules, while the naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria convert carbohydrates into acids. The process of raking of fish is a slow process where you have to play with the laws of nature. It is very important that everything must be scrupulously clean and accurate, so there is NOT blooms of undesirable bacteria (Clostridium botulinum, which in small doses is used in Botox). It also ensures that exclude air from the process, which could otherwise develop Botulinum toxin in the fish, if you is imprudent. Industrial fish checked for this before they reach the market. All contact with the soil and sand are absolutely prohibited. Food & Drug Administration expects all rakefisk also the commercially prepared is a risk product because of the danger of Listeria infection. Food Administration recommends that pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems (old and sick), do not eat fermented fish. There used fresh trout between 550 g 750 g or more of uniform size in the same barrel, which cleaned of gills and blood, rinsed, salted and layered with belly up in the barrel. Originally there used wooden barrels. But today is plastic by far the most common for most manufacturers, with the exception of the most exclusive. Using wooden barrels is a vulnerability in the process, and since plastic barrels gives more predictable results, preferred these. Then, cover the fish with brine before it is put to maturation. In some cases, rinse the fish in vinegar or placed in vinegar for half an hour before putting it in the barrel. In the belly of each fish added to 60 g of salt per kilogram of fish. Place a heavy plate over so the fish is pressed down the brine After a few days, check whether there is enough brine formed so that the fish is covered. If not, add more brine in the form of water and salt. The brine prepared from boiled water with 50 g of salt per liter of water. The ripening process can be controlled by temperature and time. When the fish put down it is mild in odor and taste, but maturation continues as long as the temperature is sufficiently high. The recipes are diverse and vary between communities. In some villages sprinkled little sugar in order to speed up fermentation. The fermentation can also help to get started by putting the barrel a little warmer up to 8 °C for a few days, but it can quickly get out of control. Normal temperature during ripening is 4 °C. There may also be significant differences from barrel to barrel with the same temperature depending on how carefully the fish is cleaned of excess blood. More blood gives a stronger taste. When the barrel is opened after the fish have matured, smells strong content. The contents have been through a fermentation process that has lasted for at least 8 weeks. The fish has in this time fermented and has been fermented trout. Some manufacturers believe that the best result is achieved by maturing at a low temperature for a long time. When the fish is fermented or matured, so it should be stored at 0-4 °C (refrigerator temperature). If you want rakefisk with stronger flavor, so the fish can be kept one or two days at a somewhat higher temperature, up to about 8 °C. When the fish is fermented or matured, it can be frozen. It stops the process. Vacuum packaging fish are particularly suitable for freezing. Fish in buckets or barrels that are not frozen, shall at all times be covered by the brine. If there is too little brine one can do something new, by boiling 50 grams of salt per liter of water. Let brine cool and pour over the fish. Fish placed in the brine should be frozen at very low temperatures to freeze. Maturation of fish can also be impeded by creating a new brine. This was prepared as above for replenishment, 50 g salt/liter of water. There are local variations, where the most significant variation is the amount of blood left in the fish, as well as whether sugar is used in production. Added sugar will speed up the process. Variations may be where the barrel is placed. Put the barrel warmer so the process will go faster. If sugar is added and the barrel is too warm, the process can get out of control. If this should happen rakefisken discarded. Haukedalen Fishing holiday in Western Norway with Terje Serving: The fish must be spreadable and fresh in color. How it is served varies, but if the fish is whole, so it is often served in small pieces. Accessories are often almond or Ringerike Potato, kohlrabi with carrots, sour cream and onion.

Commercial production: There are several small businesses that manufacture and market rake fish. Among the most famous are the production companies in Valdres, which also markets through the Norwegian Rakefisk Festival. Some have chosen to work and put effort in developing procedures for smooth and high quality of fermented fish. Maturation rate of the displayed fish were: mild, stored and matured. Modern production takes place under very strict cleanliness. Samples are taken of both raw materials and finished rake fish. In the same way as other foods that are not cooked or otherwise sterilized, pregnant women should not eat fermented fish. The same applies to people with weakened immune systems.

Like a brackish water pike, they are the best. A 10 kg pike from a moor must be released as it is not worth eating. In addition, it is important for the moor, as it keeps the water clear because it eats many "trash fish", which eat daphnia, which in turn eats algae. The pike must be filleted, the large bones and skin removed. There will always be small nerve bones left in the meat, but they are irrelevant as the fish is chopped along with the onion and garlic. (If you want to try the Danish model, add 5% bacon to the fish). Add the mince fish meat salt, pepper, potato flour, egg yolks and while stirring well in the mince fish meat, add cream. Whip 1 to 2 egg whites stiff and turn an appropriate amount gently into the mince fish meat. Find a large suitable pan that can hold all the fish meatballs at once. If you do not have it, just fry the parts twice. Melt well with butter on the pan over low heat. Shape the mince fish meat into small meatballs with a tablespoon and fry them first over low heat for a few minutes. Then turn up the heat so that they turn golden brown. It takes approx. 6 minutes for the first side. Turn down the heat and turn the meatballs. Repeat the same procedure for the other side. It is important that the butter does not "brank", because then the meatballs will not be airy. The mince fish meat should be airy and soft so that it can be shaped into small fish cakes. So, the above amounts are indicative, but just get started because it can not go completely wrong. Serving: Serve fish meatballs with potatoes, butter sauce and remoulase on a plate. Garnish: Sprinkle a little green over the potatoes and serve with lemon wedges. Drink: A cool and dry white wine goes well with it in the summer heat. Hints: The pike is a lean fish, so I like to add 5 to 10% bacon or lard to the pike meat. I chop bacon / lard once before, it is chopped again together with the pike meat. Note: The pike's minimum size 60 cm and protection period 1 April to 15 May both days incl. in Denmark. In Sweden? It is usually the owner, tenant or manager of the fishing water who determines the minimum size and protection times for pike.

Roquefort cheese Accessories: Waldorf salad and lingonberry 4 stalks celery into small cubes 1-2 apples (sour) into small cubes 300 g green, ripe grapes seedless and halved 40 g walnuts some crushed 3 dl Creme fraiche 18% 2 tsp. vanilla sugar or honey Recipe No. 99 Pigeons for 3 personr fried in pan served with Waldorf Salad First, some facts: In England, hunting season on pigeons throughout the year. The peak season is twice a year. Winter/spring is February and March. The summer/autumn is July, August and September. Until 1994, pigeon hunt in Denmark was from August 1. to December 31. Later changed from September 1. to January 31. In 2007 it was changed from October 1. to January 31. Believe it or not, in 2010 came another change from November 1. to January 31. The reason is that the pigeon is lying on eggs and therefore may not be shot. I've never seen pigeons lie on eggs in October and February. In England the pigeons are not lying on eggs, or do they? It is about time to get a common EU law on hunting? Procedure without liability: Rub the pigeons inside and outside with salt, sugar and pepper. Unroll some parsley into one or two pieces of bacon and put it into the pigeon. Add a few pieces of bacon around the pigeon. Heat the oil and butter in the saucepan and brown the pigeons on all sides. Getting the cleaned vegetables and spices into the saucepan. Pour the schnapps into the saucepan and immediately come lid on. Let the vapors work for three minutes so the meat will be tender. It is an old hunter trick; if it works, you have to find out for yourself. It does not hurt. When the snaps have evaporated, pour the liquid on with a small piece Roquefort cheese. It provides a magnificent wild sauce. The pigeons simmer slightly under the lid until tender (see hint), make sure the liquid does not evaporate. Additional liquid (water) may be added. After ½ hour, 1 hour or 2 hours (see tip) take the pigeons up and kept warm under the covers in a wrapping of aluminum foil and tea towels. The sauce sieves and adds the whipped cream constantly whipping until the desired consistency is achieved. You can add a dollop of cold butter under constant whipping. It should not be necessary to add gravy browning to the sauce, but if you think that is too pale, you can simply do this. The pigeons in halves and place on a serving plate with the caramelized potatoes. Use the same recipe for Poussins (28-day-old chicks) Serving: Serve with Waldorf salad, cranberries and caramelized potatoes. Garnish: It could be a fresh sprig of parsley or green celery leaves. Drink: A good full-bodied red wine to your taste. Hints: A pigeon is not a pigeon. There are two kinds of pigeons for food: A hunting-pigeon (wild pigeon) and a young pigeon farmed (squab) also called tamed-pigeon. The big difference is in the meat muscle. The hunting-pigeon has flown much before it was shot, why pigeon developed strong muscles, and it is these that make the meat tough. Squab has never flown, as it slaughtered as soon as it has reached an appropriate weight (approximately 500 g) in its aviary/pigeonholes. It takes about 4 weeks to achieve that weight. Therefore, one cannot determine the cooking time exactly before knowing which pigeon you are dealing with: An old hunting-pigeon (2 hours), a young hunting-pigeon (1 hour) or a squab (½ hours). In the hunting-pigeon you can see bullet holes and find hail. This is not seen in a squab. Another characteristic can be: hunting-pigeon dark meat - Squab white meat. Best viewed while standing with one in each hand. Cooking time for Poussin is about 35 minutes, calculated from browning. Sour cream in Waldorf salad can be replaced by many other milk products, which are more, low-fat, such as: plain yogurt, fromage frais, whipped cream and A38.

Only room for one pheasant at a time Først lidt facts: Clean the pheasants well and rinse off any blood in cold water. Dub them dry and rub pheasants in salt and pepper, both inside and outside. Drizzle with honey/syrup and sprinkle a little estragon above. Heat the oil/butter into a frying pan; put one pheasant into the pan with the back down so the thighs are roasted first. See the picture. Turn the pheasant with the breast down. Then turn the pheasant on the side. First on one side, then the other side. The pheasant must have some 4 minutes on each side. Repeat for pheasant number two. Do you have a pan that is large enough for two pheasants, use this. The Hunter trick: If the pheasants must be especially tender, pour 4 oz. snaps into the pan, and comes a lid on for 3 minutes before you go to the next step. Remember the steam from the snaps are highly flammable, so immediately on with the cover. (Flambéing is done this way) Add onions, garlic, chili pepper, dates, apples, the vegetables and rosemary in the pan and saute the vegetables for a few minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and Port wine. Now the pheasants must simmer for approx. 60 minutes. After half the time, the pheasants are flipped on the other side. The pheasants are taken up and kept warm under aluminum foil while the sauce is sown and cooked with Danablue and whipped cream.
