My ideas:
Over time we’ve gone to a variety of Scandinavian vacation occasions; Swedish, Finnish, Danish after which this yr, Icelandic! It’s a whole lot of enjoyable to attempt meals that we usually can’t get (Icelandic sizzling canine and lamb!) and I usually come away with some concepts of make some vacation meals at house. I’ve made fairly just a few Swedish dishes through the years however Icelandic was new to me. In Iceland, it appears, a whole lot of purple cabbage is grown for Jóla (Christmas) dinner. It’s quick-pickled and served alongside facet hangikjöt (smoked lamb) wild sport, potatoes and different dishes. Whereas some Icelandic substances are tough to come up with (I’ve the Icelandic sizzling canine however no condiments!) purple cabbage is plentiful this time of yr right here as properly. It appeared an apparent alternative! This cabbage is much like a whole lot of candy and bitter cabbage dishes throughout Europe however considerably unusually spiced with star anise and cinnamon. The outcome: a pickled cabbage dish that basically tastes of the vacations! I served it with pork as I don’t have hangikjöt however it will be nice with ham, turkey or rooster as properly.
