  • Pork tenderloin medallions with caramelized onions

    • mharriman on November 05, 2022

      This was the first recipe I made from The Nordic Kitchen cookbook, and after determining the American measurement conversions and making changes, I found it easy to put together. It turned out well. The six onion amount sauteed in 10 g of butter (not even a tablespoon) seemed way off. I sauteed two thinly sliced medium yellow onions in 1 T butter, and that worked. The carmelized onions covered the medallions once I prepared them for the oven. 4 stars as modified. I served the entree with baked acorn squash and a spring mix of greens with radishes and cherry tomatoes.

  • Crispy Brussels sprout salad with orange, walnuts and pearl barley

    • gootenbeez on March 04, 2025

      Not amazing, not bad. Would make again because it was tasty but I wouldn't add it to my normal rotation just yet. I can't tell if I need to add a smidge more salt, or my oranges weren't quite the best or if it's just a ho hum recipe.

  • Buttermilk pancakes

    • Barb_N on December 26, 2020

      The technique was odd and unwieldy- beat 2 eggs with a touch of sugar then ‘sift in’ 2 1/2 c flour. Making glue. Then mix in the butter, buttermilk and regular milk. I needed to add at least an extra 1/2 c of liquid to make a batter. I can’t comment on texture as I did not allow 3 hours for the batter to rest in the fridge, being used to mixing pancake batter right when I want to use it. I added fresh blueberries and served with Maine blueberry jam and maple syrup.
