Veal fillet with cold blue mold sauce and baked potato with spiced butter

Veal fillet with cold blue mold sauce and baked potato with spiced butter tastes extra good in summer.

Sauce:

3 dl fresh creams

2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

5 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

Salt

Pepper

Mix everything and season with salt and pepper

Spice butter:

250 g butter, room temperature

2 finely chopped chilies

1/2 ts grovmalt pepper

1 teaspoon paprika spice

2 finely chopped cloves of garlic

Mix everything well and set cold.

Baked potato:

Wrap baking potatoes in foil and place them in the oven at 150 degrees for 4 hours.

Veal fillet:

The veal fillet should have been at room temperature for approx. 30 minutes before grilling. Leave it in the pre-purchased rub before grilling, and it will be extra good. Brown the fillet well on all sides of the grill, before placing it on the upper shelf and leaving it there until it is done cooking. Feel free to insert a roasting thermometer, so you are more confident in the result. The fillet is red when it has a core temperature of 52 degrees and pink when the roasting thermometer shows 55 degrees. Let the fillet rest for approx. 15-20 minutes before cutting and serving.

Catfish with cucumber and carrot salad and mustard sauce

Catfish with cucumber and carrot salad and mustard sauce tastes good and if you can't get hold of catfish, you can use other types of fish. Catfish is one of my favorite fish and it offers many opportunities for variety. Cucumber salad is a common accompaniment to fish, but try giving carrots the same treatment. It is easy to get in thin strips with a cheese grater.

Sauce:

3 large, finely chopped shallots

1 finely chopped garlic

1 teaspoon honey

3 dl cream

1 tbsp dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fish stock

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons finely chopped dill

Fry the shallots and garlic in butter until soft and shiny. Add honey, mustard, stock and cream. Let it cook for 10 minutes, before everything is combined into a smooth sauce, with a hand mixer. Season with salt and pepper and Add dill just before serving.

Steinbiten:

Divide the catfish fillet into portions and place them in a greased, refractory dish. Bake them in the oven at 180 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

If you want to take the catfish in sous vide, you can season it and vacuum it with a little butter or oil, before putting it in sous viden at 50 degrees for 35 minutes.

A wonderful time in the garden

Now the garden is at its most beautiful and I enjoy it every single day. Attaches some pictures of flowers, vegetables and herbs.

By the whirlpool I have planted in an old zinc tub.

And finally a salad I have made from lettuce, sugar peas, sorrel and edible flowers - all from my own garden. So fresh and delicious, that it grinds, but it tastes good with a little fox Eiker XO and a little olive oil as well.

Plaice with boat potatoes and pastis and chervil sauce

Plaice with boat potatoes and pastis and chervil sauce tastes good both everyday and for parties. Here I have served it with pea puree, but you can use other kinds of vegetables as well. This recipe is suitable for 4 people.

Boat potatoes:

Drizzle a little olive oil in a long pan, divide the potatoes into boats, put them in the long pan, add salt and pepper, drizzle over a little more oil and put them in the oven at full blast. When they start to get a little color, turn down to 200 degrees and let them fry until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

800 g fillet of plaice is placed in a greased, refractory dish, seasoned with fish seasoning and set at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.

You can find the recipe for pea puree HERE .

Sauce:

6 shallots

2 dl Pastis or other anise liquor

5 dl cream

4 tablespoons vegetable stock

1 pot of chervil

Finely chop the shallot and fry it shiny in 2 tablespoons butter

Add the Pastis and let it cook until there is almost no liquid left, before adding the cream and stock and let it cook until it reaches the right sauce consistency. Add chervil and let it cook for a couple of minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

The Swedish National Day

The Swedish National Day, formerly Swedish Flag Day, is marked today.
Since we have practiced celebrating the national day in Norway for years, we think we should help the Swedes a little on their day, which is quite recent. What could be better than celebrating with butter goose cake? It tastes good and is easy to make, if you do not have great ambitions for the appearance.

Start by making fillings. I have made two strokes, to give a little variety in the cake.

Fill 1:

4 hard-boiled eggs, divided into small cubes

3 spring onions in fine strips

200 g peeled shrimp

4 dl fresh creams

1 tbsp mustard

1/2 bag of mayonnaise

2 tablespoons fresh finely chopped dill

1 glass of black roe

White pepper

Cayennepepper

Mix all the ingredients together, season with pepper and set cold.

 

Fill 2:

300 gr smoked ham spread in small cubes

1 finely chopped red onion

4 dl fresh creams

1/2 bag of mayonnaise

Salt and black pepper

Mix the ingredients and season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.

 

Cut the crust off 2 loaf pans and cut them lengthwise into inch-thick slices. Place two slices next to each other on a plate and add filling 1. Add two new slices and add filling 2, before adding the last layer of puff pastry. Now the cake should preferably be left cold overnight, so it can set, with a damp tea towel over it.

 

When the cake is to be decorated, I spread on a layer with 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 4 dl sour cream, which should act as a glue. You can decorate with whatever you want, but I have used:

1 hard-boiled egg in slices.

500 g peeled prawns

200 g smoked salmon

1 sliced lemon

Dill

Small tomatoes, cut in half

1 glass of red roe

Lettuce leaves

 

Then all that remains is to wish our Swedish friends a nice national day.

1.5 dl coffee (preferably Vietnamese Arabica)

1.5 dl condensed sweetened milk

Isbiter

Pour the milk into a tall glass, fill with ice cubes and add coffee. Traditionally, the same amount of milk and coffee is used, but you can adjust the amounts according to your own taste.
