Philomena made me Falun Sausage stuffed with Cheese courtesy of 'Ikea's Real Swedish Food Book'(again the picture doesn't do it justice). Despite Phil's reservations that the sausage was just a swedish version of Polony, it actually tasted really nice. She's quite the chef you know? When she wants to be.
We went to Ikea down at the Cardiff Bay Retail Park on Sunday to get the ingredients but they didn't have most of it so we improvised and bought different cheese and an alternative form of mustard. In fact the only thing we actually got on the list that was supposed to be there was the Falun Sausage.
However, she did a fantastic job and it tasted delicious.
Here is the recipe and the ingredients (if you can get them)
Ingredients:
1 FALUN SAUSAGE (400G)
150G "HERRGARD CHEESE" (Good Luck with that one, any form of cheese will do however)
4 LARGE TOMATOES (Phil only used the one)
8 SMALL ONIONS (again one will suffice)
2 TBSPS BUTTER
2 TBSPS SWEDISH MUSTARD"SENAP" (Wholegrain Mustard was good)
1-2 TBSPS WATER OR BEEF STOCK
SALT, WHITE PEPPER, GARLIC POWDER
Procedure:
Skin the sausage and cut it into cm thick slices, but not quite all the way through. Cut the cheese into thin slices and spread with mustard on both sides. Insert the cheese between the sausage slices. Peel and parboil the onions. Carefully place the "larded" sausage in a well-greased, oven-proof dish together with the onions and the tomatoes, whole or halved. Sprinkle with the spices and add a few knobs of butter (a little garlic on the tomatoes makes a fine contrast). Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes at Gas Mark 6-7 or until the cheese has melted and the whole thing is a nice colour and thoroughly cooked. If it looks dry, pour on a little more stock or water. You could serve with rice or your preference of potatoes.
That is Afrobev's Guide To Swedish Home Cooking (My thanks go to Philomena the chef and also to Ikea, despite their severe lack of ingredients). There is a lot of love in my kitchen!
