Midsommar!

Midsummer. And this one was supposed to be in Sweden 🇸🇪 but that wasn’t to be.

Midsommar, much like Easter can have many dishes and fish is often represented in more than one.

First up a very Swedish dish, Matjessilltårta! The base is dark rye bread and butter then topped with ‘Matjes’ herring in creme fraiche, red onion, dill, cayenne pepper and some gelatine so it sets.

Garnished with chives, boiled eggs, red onions, prawns and Trout caviar.

This was followed by 2 different pickled herrings, the traditional one with red onion and carrots and also one in creamy mix of Creme fraiche, basil, lime zest and juice, parsley, garlic and cayenne pepper.

We finished off with a small BBQ of some beautiful home made sausages a work colleague treated us too, sirloin steak, garlic butter and BBQ’d potatoes.

And not to forget the Snaps, OP Anderson Aquavit!
