Swede casserole is a traditional Finnish casserole, which comes out at Christmas time. To me it’s one of those special trigger foods that transports you back to your youth with smacking force.
As a kid I wasn’t too fond of it but I always had a small scoop on my plate so I could just brush a piece of meat across it and get a hint of the flavour. Now I can’t get enough of it!
This is the traditional recipe, I have never made it any other way and probably never will. I also still do the top exactly as my mother and Nana have always done with the scraped folk imprint across it.
I make it for this time of the year (Christmas in July) and freeze it, although it’s best made on the day of eating as it can get a little watery once defrosted.
It’s a great addition to any roast meal as it complements both red and white meats. The flavour is slightly bitter but with the sweetness of the golden syrup and nutmeg it evens out beautifully. If you have been wanting a new addition to your roasts then I highly recommend you give this a go.
Enjoy!…. Blondie
