28 Sep 2016 Danish Meatloaf

This is the meatloaf recipe everyone liked better than I did.  I still favor my Grandma Anderson's recipe but since the family liked it, here it is.

In a small bowl, combine to soak
1/2 c milk
1 egg
1 c toasted bread, cubed or 1/2 c dried bread crumbs
Let stand 5 minutes.

In hot skillet, sauté
1/2  medium onion, diced
1 T butter
Remove from heat, add
1 t fresh chopped parsley or 1/2 t dried
Allow to cool.

Mix together:
1 lb ground beef
1 T ketchup
1/2 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
1/4 t paprika
1 clove garlic, minced or generous sprinkle of garlic powder 
1/4 t thyme
1/2 t Worcestershire sauce
Add in cooled onion & parsley mix
combine well then add in the milk-crumb mixture

Shape meat into a loaf or into a loaf pan
Bake at 350ºF for 1 hour

Turns out if you want, you can shape them into patties and fry in butter until cooked through and have single serving meatloaf burgers instead of one big loaf.

Nordic curry

This is a mild anytime curry.  Takes 10-15 minutes. The original (dairy) sauce is from Magnus Nilsson. I double the sauce so there's plenty. Especially because I like to add vegetables and proteins. I always add the apples, sometimes skip the onion. Leftover roasted root vegetables tasted great. Regular supermarket yellow curry powder is perfect. Serve it over rice or with naan. Be generous with the salt and pepper.  Melt 4 T butter over medium heat in a sauté pan (wide, shallow).  Sprinkle in 4 T yellow curry powder and stir to combine.  Add 1-2 tart apple (Granny Smith), cored and chopped or cubed & 1 onion, finely chopped. When apples and onion are softened, sprinkle them with 2 T flour . Stir to evenly coat all.  Add 1 1/2 c heavy cream OR coconut cream , slowly, a bit at a time, whisking constantly to keep lumps at bay. When smooth, add in 1 1/2 c milk OR coconut milk in the same manner. Allow to begin to bubble and thicken before serving. Season gen...

Pasta al limone

 Basically it's Lemon Spaghetti. I needed a side dish for a friend's seafood lunch and this was perfect. When I served at cousins beach week, it also got rave reviews (and competition for the leftovers) so it's worth sharing here. I found the recipe by Michelle Doll at Delish.com. What I love about this recipe is it is quick and easy but really it's the technique. Its similar to an Alfredo sauce but because of the way you put it together, it is very evenly distributed and doesn't feel heavy. Tastes great with fish and chicken, so far.  Cook  12 oz. spaghetti in generously salted boiling water.  While waiting for the pasta, slice of a couple thin strips from a lemon for garnish (if desired)  Zest  1 lemon into a large sauce pan (the spaghetti will go into it later)  and juice the lemon , setting the juice aside. Add 1/2 c. heavy cream and  4 Tbsp. unsalted butter to the lemon zest   and let it melt over low hea...
