EATS: {Recipe} Toast Skagen!

Today is Sweden's National Day, so I decided to make something really Swedish: Toast Skagen!


- Ingredients - (Serves 4)

-500 grams, peeled prawns, cooked
-1/2 red onion
-3 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, zest and juice
- 5 tablespoons of sour cream
- Soft white bread
- Butter
- Dill
- Salt (for tasting)

- Procedure -

1. As the prawns we bought were frozen, we quickly dipped them into boiling water first.

2. Chop the onion finely and mix them into a bowl together with the prawns.

3. Add the chopped onion, lemon juice and zest, sour cream and olive oil into a bowl. Mix until the prawns are coated!

4. Put a large frying pan onto high heat before putting cubes of butter on the pan.

5. Put one slice of white bread on the butter covered pan to toast it. Flip the bread so both sides get covered with butter.

6. Apply some of the prawn mixture on the bread and lightly add some dill or salt to taste!

Swedish Traditions


Here's four traditions you might come across in Sweden:

1: Crayfish Parties. You might get invited to one when you have friends here. I don't personally like boiled crayfish, because you need to do so much stuff (like take away the shell/whatever, etc.) before you can eat just a certain amount of meat in one crayfish.

2: Midsummer. In mid-June school is out. It is an occasion of large gatherings. Many Swedes take advantage of this time to fulfil their social obligations. Swedes even celebrate "Midsummer Eve", always taking place on a Friday between the 19th to the 25th of June. It is advised to spend Midsummer's Eve at a countryside. 

3: Sour Herrring. This dish is made by small Baltic herring, which are then salted and fermented. Sour herring has a strong, pungent smell of rotting fish. The traditional way of eating sour herring is with a piece of thin bread, butter the bread, place the herring, put something like an "almond-shaped potato" and some chopped onions before eating. 

4: Sweden's National Day. On the 6th of June (a day before my birthday), the King and the Queen take part in a ceremony in Skansen (Click here to see that blog post). In 2005, the Swedish parliament voted to make this date a public  holiday.
