I always enjoy your vintage recipe cards, but this one really caught my eye.
Living in Sweden, my Swedish wife nor I have ever seen this dish. But it sounds good so we’ll be giving it a try.
One thing I would like to point out is that the “anchovy” the recipe calls for is not the non-Scandinavia salty one you get in the rest of the world. Ours is sweet. So unless you can get the Swedish variety, I’d suggest one should leave them off.
Oh. Interesting. Thanks for the tip.
