Venison à la Lindström with Spiced Celeriac Remoulade

12th January 2018 by Louise

January feels like we’re lumbering through the grey and the cold that forces its way through our clothes and into our bones.  I need comfort at this time of year and it had occurred to me whilst sitting in my kitchen flicking through my recipe notebook that I hadn’t made this Swedish classic for some time.

‘Biff à la Lindström’  Beetroot, capers, minced beef and pork or just beef and cooked potato.  This has always been a firm family favourite in my house.  My Grandmother taught me how to make it, there are recipes with or without the inclusion of gherkin, we debated back then whether to add or not, Mormor loved gherkins and so do I but I prefer just to taste the piquancy of capers with the beetroot.

As I mention this is most commonly made with beef or a blend of beef and pork but as venison is readily available at this time of year, lean and healthier, I’ve revised my recipe.

Instructions

  • To begin cook the potato in boiling salted water without peeling first.  Once cooked, peel and finely dice. Finely chop the onion and sauté in a little olive oil until translucent. Cool both.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the venison, cooled onion and potato, add the egg yolks, pickled beetroot and capers then season.  Using your hands, shape the mixture into 4 large burgers or 6 small. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes.

One of my lovely followers in Malaysia has been ba One of my lovely followers in Malaysia has been baking this ruisleipä (Finnish Rye Bread) and mentioned she wasn’t getting many of those lovely cracks on top — so I’ve tweaked the recipe slightly to help bring them out.

This is a nourishing, no-nonsense loaf: dark, dense, and full of goodness. I start by scalding the rye flour (a bit like tangzhong and a traditional technique in Finland and Sweden) which brings out its natural sweetness and gives the crumb a gentle softness. Slow-fermented and full of flavour — perfect with butter or a slice of cheese.

And just two days to go until my book BUNS: Sweet and Simple Bakes is out! 🥳 Updated recipe is in the link in my profile.

Easter prep didn’t quite go to plan this year, s Easter prep didn’t quite go to plan this year, so I’m posting this a little later than I’d hoped (better late than never) In Sweden, saffron isn’t just used at Christmas – it makes an appearance at Easter too! This simple saffron and cardamom cake is full of flavour and brings a touch of spring celebration with a gorgeous golden-yellow hue. I will share the recipe to my blog in the next few days. 
Wishing you a lovely Easter, however you’re spending it!
