For Cytherea: Jansson's Temptation - Janssons Frestelse

This one is for the beautiful Cytherea, aka Lips, who loves a Swedish dish that goes by the name of, Janssons Frestelse (Jansson's Temptation), and wanted the recipe.

It took me a while, since I had to dig out my Swedish cook book (I have long ago stopped cooking by recipes). Even though taking help with measurements from a book, I add my own knowledge to it.

It also gave me the idea to now and then post some Genuine Swedish recipes, for anyone who wants to try Real Swedish cooking, not the Fake stuff!

Yes, Meatballs will be posted, and I will even divulge my "secret" ingredients.

DISCLAIMER: If exercise is not taken in addition to digesting my recipes, weight gain will result. The author will in no way be held accountable for said weight increase, nor ANY other unpleasant surprises, accidents, or complete failure, due to your own incompetence in the kitchen!



JANSSONS FRESTELSE


This is an excellent dish for any of you that don't think that anchovies have any place in food. The filee's purpose is as a spice, they will dissolve, and none will be able to tell that it's anchovies.

BE BRAVE... TRY IT...YOU'LL LIKE IT...!




Ingredients for 4:

1 medium sized oven proof casserole dish
5 - 6 medium sized white potatoes
2 medium sized yellow onions
15-20 anchovies filees. If you only have whole anchovies, 7 - 10.
4 tablespoons of margarine or butter (if using margarine, canola gives the best flavor)
1,5 - 2 dl heavy cream (2,4 deci liter or 240 milli liter, equals a Cup)
Plain bread crumbs, as toppings for the dish
Black crushed pepper to taste (*and Dry Parmesan)
Salt is NOT needed the anchovies provides this, but if one wants additional saltiness, use some of the liquid from the anchovies


PREPARATION


  • Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (approx 400 degrees Fahrenheit).

  • Peel the potatoes, and Julienne them (this is the traditional way, but I prefer to slice them into medium thickness), and soak them in liberal amount of cold water. This removes some of the starch so that the potatoes does not get "gluey" when cooked.

  • Peel the onion and slice it fairly thin

  • If using whole anchovies, clean, de bone and filee

  • Smear and cover the oven proof dish with butter or margarine (don't be afraid to use to much, it can't be done)


    PUT IT TOGETHER


    1.
    Lay potatoes, onion, anchovies and crushed black pepper in as many layers as will fit in your dish, but the top layer has to be potatoes
    Shake enough bread crumbs onto the dish to cover the top layer. (*This is not strictly Swedish, but I like to mix some Dry Parmesan in with the bread crumbs, but it's up to you)
    Click butter or margarine evenly on top of the bread crumbs (if you need more then 4 tablespoons, well.... that's ok)

    2.
    Bake in the oven on the middle rack for approx 30 min. Remove from heat and poor the heavy cream over it. Bake for another 20 - 25 min.
    It's finished when the cream is absorbed, the top is nicely brown, the anchovies has dissolved, and the potatoes are soft. Check for softness with a tooth pick. If the top starts to burn, but potatoes are not soft, cover with aluminum foil and bake some additional time.


    SERVE WITH


    Buttered Swedish Crisp Bread (Wasa and Siljans can be found in regular stores in the US, but if having problems finding these, IKEA is your salvation)
    A fresh salad of your choice
    If really hungry, a thick slice of any type of ham that's not sweet, is an excellent compliment


    TO DRINK WITH IT


    A nice cold Pilsner

    ENJOY!

    Sigh, that's how my ex was, so I belive you! My ex was a good guy (we just drifted apart), so don't think I'm being a bitch when I compare the two of you. Besides it's only in the matter of food!

    Jag har provat surströmming en gång, pappa var ifrån Sollefteå, urgh!!!!!!!!! Nä tack, det finns det jag can vara utan, men jag saknar Matjesill med gräddfil och gräslök och svensk nypotatis, mmmmmmmm! Oops, I'll continue in English....... I can buy Matjesill here, but not Swedish potatoes... The environment is lacking too, so next time I get home.......! Meanwhile have some for me, with a good snaps!

      Yup, used to have to make it with ham for my ex! However this dish does NOT taste like fish, believe it or not, if made right!

      I like pickled red beets with my Pytt-i-panna! Maybe a new recipe post?
