Lutefisk is a traditional dish in Sweden, usually served at Christmas time. It is made from aged stockfish (air-dried whitefish) or dried/salted whitefish and lye (lut).
Ingredients
  • 1kg (2 lbs) lutefisk, boiled
  • 1 kg (2 lbs) fava beans, stringed
  • 700g (1½ lbs) green peas, cut lengthwise
  • 700g (1½ lbs) snow peas, cut a little on the slant.
  • Vinaigrette:
  • ½kg (1 lb) butter
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • salt
  • allspice

Instructions
  1. Brown the butter. Mix in vinegar, salt and allspice. Mix with beans and fish.
  2. Serve: Slice some red onion onions thinly and marinate them in 1-2-3 brine with some whole white and black pepper corns and bay leaves.
  3. Arrange as shown.

Notes
Great recipe for leftover lutefisk from the Christmas table. If you can´t find or like lutefisk you can use cod instead.
