Easter food with Edward Blom

Old man's stir-fry and butter-baked salmon side with Edward Blom

Finally Easter and perhaps the holiday that I appreciate the most of all. Spring and summer are ahead of us with sun, warmth, food and drink. It is also the weekend that symbolizes the starting point for many stovetop lovers when the stoves must be dusted off and taken out of winter storage.
For this week's well-fed Easter episode on Skeppsholmen, I have once again invited the gastronomist Edward Blom, who very generously shares his never-ending knowledge of food history and old traditions.
So what do you serve when big relatives come to visit during the Easter weekend?
I would highly recommend baking a whole side of salmon in butter. Now don't fuss with grating on a few small slices of butter, but boil up half a kilo, which you then pour over the salmon. Then toss the butter around the fish with your long frying spatulas to the desired internal temperature of around 50 degrees. A neat cooking method that brings out every little salmon molecule to perfection for all the senses.
Serve with pickled fennel salad, cold salmon-flax sauce with squeezed fried lemon and the first new potatoes tossed in butter of the year.

Vodka paste on a griddle

Vodka paste

Send hooray to all stovetop lovers ⚓️
Then it's time for a slightly more modern pasta dish that appeared in the 80s but has gained a lot of hype in recent years.
Actually, it's not much more remarkable than pimping up a penne Arrabbiata with a few deciliters of cream and vodka. Then cut up some salsiccia, crackle and sprinkle over when serving. Also break up a burrata and put on top. Yum!
BUT - the eternal question remains IF it is better to boil 10 cl of vodka OR to mix a couple of strengthening grogs? If you ask me, I'd rather take the groggs, but the pasta is still really awesome ❤️

MEXICAN IN SKÅNE

In our program series "HOME WITH AN STEKHÄLLSLOVER", this time we visited Alexandra and Linda at home in Helsingborg. Two really happy girls who offered an outstanding Mexican food cooked from scratch in all parts. Add to that a perfectly sabered Champagne and steady Margaritas. You understand that the captain enjoyed the Scanian spring sun.
️During the spring, we will visit a few more roaster lovers who will settle for a final place for "SWEDEN'S BEST STEKHÄLLSLOVER". On Ascension Day, May 18, the final will be decided at Villa Capri, where the winner will receive a copy of Captain Mat's Swedish-made quality kettle.www.kaptenmat.se
