12-06 Swedish Baked Porridge

Something about winter makes me cook a lot more Swedish food....

This is handy because you put it in the oven overnight and its ready for breakfast. Perfect for a chilly morning.

Combine in your dutch oven:
6 c water
2 c steel cut oats
1/4 t salt
Cover and place in a larger pan filled with hot tap water to reach halfway up the sides of your dish. Place in oven at 250 degrees. Bake overnight - eight hours.
Eat hot with lingonberry preserves or cinnamon sugar and milk.

Evidently the leftovers were commonly pressed in a bowl, then sliced and fried in butter & served with jam for another breakfast on another day!

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.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
