Hi! I am interested to learn how to cook Swedish dishes and desserts. Kindly share your favorites recipes here

Kebab pizza!

@ Seamus - yuck!!!


Swedish Meatballs are extremely tasty (I make them by memory, I tried my best to list out).

Half and half of ground beef and ground pork (maybe half pound of each).
1 onion - minced
1 egg
breadcrumbs (maybe half a deciliter give or take)
white pepper (this is really potent, so you do need to be careful with this. I would say probably two to three pinches)
salt (maybe a pinch or two)

Mix all together, roll into balls, put in frying pan on medium heat, cook till done.

You can eat with ketchup, or if you have access to lingonberries you can have that with mashed potatoes, and of course they are tasty without any condiments too.

Thanks for the recipe I'm really going to try this one. Can I possibly do this without the pork? Thank you again

Eat well, but don't forget your diet!

[jocelynpantaleon]

How about dessert? Do you have any easy-to-make, quite tasty recipe?

[snarky]

Well you can do without the pork, but this is the typical Swedish meatball recipe and it includes pork, lol!

For easy dessert recipes, see below.

(the saffransbullar and pepparkakor are typically made this time of year, I don't care for either of these but they are very popular here)

Also, here is some random ones that are generally enjoyed by all in Sweden -

From my childhood it has always been Raggmunk.

Not sure why, maybe I am a carb lover, maybe I just like the taste but being in California, I've never found any place that makes these even close to what I liked as a kid. I make my own mostly on weekends. Something about this dish, American pancakes on weekends? Not sure.

I've always thought the potatoes my mother used were just different than the ones I get out here and that makes all the difference.

Thank you for the list of recipes! Very helpful.

I love Swedish Apple Pie. Its really tasty and it always makes me bounce with happiness. Its delicious!!

One of my all time favorites is "sillt?rta"

[Hisingen]

Or an 'English' or an 'American'.
Don't get too carried away with your bias.
Even in the UK, you won't here the likes of 'An English' - but 'Chinese', 'Thai' or an 'Indian' - they get heard almost anywhere.

[RandallnHopkirk]

I don't have a recipe to share I'm afraid, but my favourite Swedish food is planka. So delicious!

[Bsmith]

My favorite Swedish dish is Elsa Hosk.

There was a great sketch on (I think) "Goodness Gracious Me" about a bunch of Indians (in India) going out for an English. As Hissingen also implies (and as Savage seems as usual too hidebound to contemplate), there is some cultural relativism involved in these kind of relationships...

Good Swedish food (like good food in any country) is good, modern interpretations of the old food of rural poverty. Do it right, and it is all great. I heard an interview where Christer Lindström (who had two Michelin stars for Edsbacka Krog) said that the ICA Family Cookbook (the check-patterned one that you'll see in your mother-in-laws kitchen) is what he uses to feed himself and his family by choice...

Stekt strömming
Järpar
Stekt fläsk with raggmunkar
Västerbotten paj
Sill with schnapps
Sjömansbiff

I could go on. Even the julbord (aka "how many ways can we serve the pig that we just slaughtered as a treat before Xmas") has so many merits.
