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.

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...
