03-17 Corned Beef Salad

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Everyone seems to love this salad. Most people say they don't like corned beef but love it in this arrangement. 
Ireland updates their recipes too =)

Cook in salted, boiling water
3 medium red potatoes, cubed (can use baking potatoes, just peel them first) 
Remove potatoes from water (keep it) and rinse the potatoes in cold water

Put into the still-boiling water:
1 c haricot verts, halved (petite green beans)
for only 4-5 minutes then remove and rinse immediately with cold water

Combine with
1 lb cooked corned beef, shredded and cut into 3" lengths
1 c cabbage (red and/or green), sliced
1 T chives, chopped
Place in refrigerator

Make dressing by mixing together
1/2 c Dijon mustard
1/2 c prepared mustard
1/2 c brown sugar
1 T molasses or agave
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, crushed or minced

Toss all ingredients gently with 1/2 the dressing,
then add more dressing as desired
Serve cold.
Erin Go Bragh!

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan.  They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep.  It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design.  Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it.  Recipe:  Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig":  2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time:   1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients:  1 1/2 t almond e...
