Frikadelles / Frikadeller

A Scandinavian dinner classic found on rema.no

We associate these delicious, small frikadelles first and foremost with the Danes, but they are popular all over Scandinavia. The name, on the other hand, came via Germany, probably from Italian fritto, and refers to the frikadelles being cooked in a frying pan.

Pork Chops on Fried Rice Salad / Koteletter på Stekt Rissalat

An exciting way to serve pork chops found on rema.no

There is little that can match pork chops for a lean dinner. Use high heat and do not cook the chops for too long – this way you will get a crispy outside crust, while retaining both taste and succulence in the lean meat.

A tasty side dish found on gilde.no

Veal Birds / Benløse Fugler

A dinner recipe found in “What’s New in Cookery” published
by Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Co in 1928

This dish was very popular among the people of the upper echelon
in Norway in the seventies. As I’m in no way part of that crowd I’m
not sure if they still serve it or if other dishes with similar confusing
names are more in vogue in those circles to day

Cauliflower Tart / Blomkålterte

A nice lunch recipe found in “Sommermat” (Summer Food)
published by Hjemmets Kokebokklubb in 1979

I readily admit that cauliflower is not one of my favourite vegetables, but I really think I might enjoy this tart. The cheesy sauce might just do the trick. And well, tarts are tarts, aren’t they – Ted
