Recipes From Norway



Norwegian culinary traditions have evolved. Norway’s long and varied coastline offers ample waters for both “wild” and farm-raised fish. The slow ripening process of everything that grows during the light Nordic summer imparts an extraordinary aroma to berries, fruits, and vegetables, and the animals that graze on the succulent green grass provide meat with a distinctive full flavor.

Pancakes*

Pancakes*

Pancakes with blueberry, raspberry, or some other jam make a filling meal on their own. You can also serve them with fresh berries. If you make the pancakes without sugar, you can serve them with bacon, or fill them with pieces of fish, meat, or vegetables in a white sauce. Remember, when handling a hot pan, always wear oven mitts.

Fish Arctic Style†

Norway has a long coastline with a lot of fjords that run far inland. Many children love catching their own fish, but most families buy their fish from a shop. While the fish is cooking, you can boil 8 small potatoes and make a salad to serve with the fish. And remember, it is easy to burn yourself on the edge of the oven or on the baking dish. Remember to use oven mitts or potholders.
