Here are some nifty Norwegian dishes for you to try.
Creamed Cabbage – Norwegian Style
Mama’s Kitchen (Hope)‘s Note:
I remember eating this when I was younger. It was the only way I liked cabbage then. This seems to really bring out the sweetness of the vegetable and remove any harshness- which kids just do not enjoy. As a kid it looked like something drenched in gravy or whipped cream- looks are deceiving- but whatever gets the kid to eat the veggie was cool with my mom.
Norwegian Potato Klub
“Norwegian Klub is a dish my mother made when we were growing up. I like to have it topped with bacon grease, and my wife likes them brushed with butter and sprinkled with sugar. Sliced and fried the next day these are a hearty breakfast meal. If you have a grinder, you may grind the potatoes instead of grating.” — THOMAS ELLEFSON
Norwegian Meatballs Recipe
These meatballs are a favorite around our area. On May 17, Norwegian Independence Day, many people serve them with a mashed rutabaga and potato dish. So this recipe is both delicious and very traditional.
Norwegian Potato Lefse
Lefse is a humble sort of flatbread, made as it is from leftover mashed potatoes. Work in a little flour, roll it out flat, and cook it on the stovetop for dinner! This makes a thin and soft flatbread that’s more substantial than a crêpe but more delicate and chewy than a flour tortilla.
Norwegian Salmon Gravlax
This post brought to you by Norwegian Salmon. All opinions are 100% mine.
I’ve always been a lover of salmon… a big-time lover of salmon. I love it simply grilled, I love it baked in a light sauce, I love it in fish tacos, I love it smoked, and now I love it when it’s cured to produce Gravlax. Today, I’m using sustainable salmon from Norway to show you a modern take on what Norwegians have been preparing for centuries. – Lori Lange, Recipe Girl
