sleeping salmon
from the kitchen of Ursula Spieker
Since we have never seen "Grünkohl" (green cabbage - looks like extremely large spinach) in the U.S. we will replace that recipe with another northern german recipe.
Ingredients:
3 – 4 garlic cloves | |
2 large onions | |
2 frozen packages leaf spinach | |
12 slices of smoked raw salmon | |
10 eggs | |
½ pint cream | |
fresh dill | |
margarine | |
ground black pepper | |
2 cups grated mild cheddar or edam |
Preparation:
Finely chop garlic cloves and cut onion into small cubes. Fry till glazy in margarine.
Unthaw frozen spinach and add to garic and onions; also add some ground black pepper.
Stir 10 eggs to scrambled egg consistancy and fry 12 thin egg-pancakes. Lay one slice of smoked raw salmon on each egg-pancake and roll each into a thin roll.
Put spinach/garlic/onion mixture into an oven-safe dish and lay the "sleeping salmon rolls" on top. Pour cream over dish and sprinkle with chopped dill. Top the whole dish with the grated cheese and bake approx. 20 minutes at 400° F.
DO NOT ADD SALT.
4 - 6 Servings. Serve with French or Italien bread, a green tossed salad and a dry white wine.
