Chef Kjell's Meat Cakes

 Good morning,

The house smelled fantastic while Kjell was making his Norwegian Meat Cakes this week.  Notice I started to cut the first bite, then remembered I needed to take a picture.  Also, you'll see my security team leader at the top of the image. I'm not so sure whether she is guarding me or the meat cakes.  ;)

 Kjell's meat cakes contain both beef and pork.  

Here's what he wrote on his blog about the ingredients:

"Homemade Medisterkaker (70% pork and 30% beef), mixed with egg, red onion, ginger, nutmeg, salt, pepper, potato starch, milk, and red wine. Side dishes: potatoes, mashed sweet green peas, and brown sauce with wine. Wine in food reminds me of a few years back when we visited the Cherokee Indians in North Carolina. If you can't drink alcohol, you can eat it."

This was fantastic!  Kjell made several dozen so we have some frozen for future meals.  

It's such fun to take turns cooking so we can enjoy so many different yummy meals!

All the best, 

Lois
