traditional badge2_thumb[1]Roasted almonds are a traditional Norwegian Christmas treats that taste of childhood. The almonds has a roasted flavour and gets a thin layer of caramel that melts on the tongue. One chew and you’re hooked!

If you want to make roasted almonds you must use some elbow grease. Use a big pot, then the almonds want get so easily burnt. If you use a cast iron pot it will be even easier. A teaspoon or two of cinnamon makes the almonds extra Christmassy and you can try adding other flavours as well.

Meatballs In Brown Sauce With Creamed Cabbage Or Green Pea Puree / Kjøttkaker I Brun Saus Med Stuakål Eller Ertestuing

A traditional Norwegian recipe from the popular food site MatPrat
Image from lokalhistoriewiki.no

874_kjøttkaker2traditional badge2I know I mentioned that «Mutton In Cabbage» was elected Norway’s national dish 40 years ago in a post about that dish, and It was actually re-elected quite recently. On the other hand,  I think very many Norwegian think about meatballs in brown sauce with either creamed cabbage or green pea puree as the most Norwegian dish of all. And few would dream of eating it without a nice dash of cranberry jam or fresh cranberries stirred with sugar like you see on the picture above.

Christmas Cake / Julekake

A traditional Norwegian recipe from the popular food site MatPrat

873_julekake_thumb[2]
traditional badge2_thumb[1]The name of this cake is almost a contradiction in terms as it is usually eaten the whole year round in Norway, but I know few who actually eat it during Christmas. At home we had it it ever so often as it was one of my father’s favourites. In Norway one usually serve Christmas cake sliced with butter and Norwegian brown cheese (a rather sweet cheese typical for Norway). Just butter will do nicely if you can’t get hold of brown cheese (most people find that jams and jellies don’t go well with Christmas cake).

In Context
Brown cheese or whey cheese is the generic name for cheeses that are made by boiling the whey and adding milk and/or cream. Brown cheese is according to international definitions not really cheese, because the whey is separated. Rather, it is classified as a caramelized concentrate of whey added milk and cream. A consequence of the production process is that almost half of the dry substance is lactose, which is what causes it to turn brown and giving it the marked sweetness in taste.

Brown cheese is a distinctly Norwegian dairy products. The only place outside Norway where such cheese to some extent is produced is in Sweden east of Sør-Trøndelag. Beyond that there is also some cases of using precooked whey in other cultures, but without any industrial production having come out of it. It is regarded as Norway’s national sandwich spread, and whole wheat bread with brown cheese is often used as an image of Norwegian prudence and frugality. Norwegians abroad often miss the brown cheese deeply, which has lead to frequent serving of waffles with brown cheese at  the Norwegian Seaman’s Missions around the world. You can also buy brown cheese several places where many Norwegians are vacationing or have settled, including Spain.
