Herby Potato Waffles with Hot Smoked Salmon & Pickled Vegetables

Herby Potato Waffle with Hot Smoked Salmon, Yogurt and Pickled Vegetables

Herby Potato Waffle with Hot Smoked Salmon, Yogurt and Pickled Vegetables

You probably wouldn’t believe me if I said I preferred savoury over sweet but it’s true. Don’t get me wrong I like the occasional sweet treat but savoury is my taste of choice. This weekend brunch recipe will definitely set you up for a days activities.

Waffles are an institution in both Norway and Sweden, thinner than the Belgium variety and normally heart shaped and considered a real treat at Fika time or after a few hours walking or a cycle ride on a Sunday morning. There’s even a day dedicated to eating even more of them, March 25th is a landmark in the Swedish and Norwegian calendar as it marks Våffeldagen (Waffle Day).

There are numerous topping options but the most common is lingonberry jam with whipped cream. Traditional waffle ingredients include, milk, eggs, flour, baking powder and butter, basically pancake ingredients. These items are generally always in your store cupboard or fridge and therefore a fabulous standby meal. Topped with a mass of roasted vegetables and a generous spoonful of Greek yoghurt makes for a substantial healthy meal.

Potato waffles are also a good way of using up any leftover cooked potatoes.  Mashed and then a little flour and egg added makes a perfect meal option.  Grilled crispy streaky bacon and roasted cherry tomatoes with a few mushrooms is another great savoury topping idea for brunch.

*If you are coeliac you can substitute the wheat flour with corn or potato flour.

Instructions

  • Begin by boiling the potatoes in their skins.  When they're cooked through, drain and leave for 10-15 minutes to cool a little.
  • Take the sliced onion and cucumber and place into a non reactive bowl. Add the vinegar, water, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. stir and leave for approximately 20 minutes before using.
  • Peel the skins from the potatoes and mash, if you a potato rice this will do the job perfectly.  When the mashed potato is cool add the eggs and flour along with the herbs and season.  Have your waffle maker ready and proceed to make four waffles.  Keep warm in the oven.

Flower therapy… Last week I spent the most amaz Flower therapy…

Last week I spent the most amazing day at Green & Gorgeous with the incredibly talented @eva_nemeth. A workshop capturing beautiful flowers, grown by the very skilled Rachel and Ashley. A lunch created from vegetables and fruit grown on the farm, it was a truly delicious meal. Honestly, I could have outstayed my welcome, there was so much to take in and capture, I may well have to return.

 If you love looking at flowers as much as I do, I’ve popped some of the photos I took on my story,

Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend.

Well I remedied that yesterday! I double fed my starter on Sunday, to get it really active and then embarked on making ciabatta. Now this has been on my bake list for some time, it’s a lovely loaf with salads or made into a giant sandwich or even toasted. 
I’m almost there on the method, it needs a little tweaking but I’m pretty pleased with the result.

This was served for dessert, so was filled with a seasonal gooseberry and elderflower compote then coated in Lemon Swiss Meringue Buttercream.
That’s it for wedding cakes, for now at least 😅

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the salmon fillet on the top.
Place the salt, peppercorns, fennel seeds & sugar in a mortar. Wash the lemons then zest 1 1/2 and place in the mortar. Pound together so that everything is mixed well (if you do not have a mortar, you can mix in a small bowl). Spread the spice mixture over the salmon and rub it in thoroughly. Drizzle over oil. Slice the lemon in thick slices and place around the salmon. Leave out for 1 hour. 

Green salsa
Chop the leaves of a bunch of parsley finely, then finely chop a small clove garlic and place in a bowl. Zest the remaining lemon half a add the lemon juice, 50ml EVOO, salt and pepper to the bowl of parsley. Mix together to a smooth sauce. You can also use a hand mixer.

Bake the salmon for 20-25 minutes or until just cooked through. Serve with roasted new potatoes a seasonal salad. And quick pickled red onions.
Glad Midsommar🇸🇪 I love where I live but Sw Glad Midsommar🇸🇪

I love where I live but Sweden is the place to be on Midsummer’s Eve. 

Always celebrated on the Friday (between 19-25 June and a National holiday)  A day filled with flower crowns (midsommarkransar), dancing, singing and a sun that never sets. 

And of course there’s plenty of food, cold beer and schnapps, preferably spiced. 
Apart from pickled herring, new potatoes & sour cream there’ll be a main course.
Watch out for my next post in a few hours…
