well you have been busy in my absence havent you all- lots of new things for me to try- nam nam as they say here

well heres a local recipe for you to try--
Gravadlax

1 or 2 whole sides of salmon if just one-cut it in half on the broadside

2dl salt
2dl sugar
2 cups of dill
2dl akevitt, cognac, jack, or any other alcohol you want to use- no cream stuff-it goes bad

you need to plan this as it takes three days

freeze the salmon for a day to kill any germs and then thaw

in a dish that is big enough to comfortably hold the salmon-put some of the salt and sugar and dill in the bottom (1/3) put one side of salmon on top of this- skin side down-put 1/3 of the sugar salt and sill on this and half the alcohol if using
put the other piece of salmon on this skin side up and cover with the rest of the dill and sugar and salt and alcohol-cover with clingfilm and leave in a cool place- the fridge if you can for 2 days- turn it twice a day

take it out and scrape off the curing liquid and dill
with a pair of tweezers or a boning tool, remove the bones from both sides

slice very thinly on a lateral cut

we serve this with new potatoes that are covered with a dill sauce (bechemel) and a thick sweet mustard vinaigrette with dill on the salmon, but its great with salad, cream cheese, avocado, whatever you feel like

I've seen lots of interesting recipes on here, but not many that are vegetarian friendly--so here's my two cents!

Mushroom Burger

Ingredients:
2 cups finely chopped fresh portobello mushrooms
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp minced garlic (optional)

1 tbsp olive oil
4 whole wheat hamburger buns

1. In a large bowl, combine the first ten ingredients, mixing well. Shape into 4 patties.
2. In large skillet, cook patties in oil for 3-4 minutes on each side or until crisp and lightly browned. Serve on buns.

These "burgers" can be dressed the same way you would dress a hamburger. I prefer mine with tomatoes, sliced avocado, Romaine lettuce, and a bit of mayo.

The seasonings you use in this recipe are very versatile, too--you can change a few spices and have a completely different taste.

Alternatively, this recipe can also be used for making vegetarian "meat"loaf. Instead of forming into patties and cooking in skillet, place the mixture in a smallish loaf pan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and top with 1/4 cup extra cheese, then bake for 10 minutes more.

Hey Teodd....What about Kahlua?

[Teeodd28403]

WARNING!!!! THE FOLLOWING RECIPE CONTAINS ALCOHOL AND SHOULD ONLY BE CONSUMED BY THOSE WHO ARE OF A LEGAL DRINKING AGE.

Hmmmmm depends on what you like. If you like kahlua then I'm sure you've had your share of white russians. How bout this.

Roasted Toasted Almond

1oz Vodka
1/2oz Kahlua
1/2oz Frangelica
Half and Half (if you want a shot then just add 1/2oz, for a drink just put all other ingredients in then add enough half and half to fill a glass on the rocks.) You could always add more alcohol to achieve the desired strength.

Burning the midnight oil I see.
