swedish cooking

A wallenbergare from Clas pä Hörnet.

Since I wrote about popular Cincinnati comfort food food yesterday, I thought I would counter with a classic Swedish dish today: wallenbergare. A wallenbergare is shaped like a hamburger, but made up of finely ground veal, egg yolks, cream, a few spices and breadcrumbs. It’s typically served up with potatoes, lingon berries and peas, just as you see it here. It is Swedish home cooking or husmanskost just as much as meatballs are. The wallenbergare here is from the restaurant Clas på Hörnet, which incidentally, has been around since 1731 or longer than the US has been a country.

Clas På Hornet is the best for this dish.

Clas also has the best Toast Skagen I’ve ever had! I do love Wallenbergare as well!

Thanks lades. Angela and Jodi: I didn’t know that about Clas. I had never been a huge fan of wallenbergare, but I thought this one was really good. So it’s nice to know that it is one of the better ones!
