Prawn Cocktail (Toast Skagen)

Prawn Cocktail (Toast Skagen)

Toast Skagen is named after a fishing port at the northern tip of Denmark and is typically served as a starter at Swedish dinner parties. It was created by the popular Swedish restaurateur Tore Wretman who embraced Swedish culinary traditions during the decades immediately after World War II. At a time when home cooking was starting to fade away and be replaced by foreign fast food, he also elevated classic Swedish dishes into fancy restaurant repertoire, lending them new status.

So I decided to give myself a gift for my birthday and bought a Thermomix. Been trying out a few different recipes lately and this morning I made ‘Risgrynsgröt’ or Rice Pudding as it’s called in English. Risgrynsgröt is a traditional Swedish breakfast porridge – served especially at Christmas but also throughout the year.
