Blueberry dessert

I wanted to make a very easy Scandinavian type of a dessert from blueberries. It was the last course served this sunday at our dinner evening. I think it turned out really well, it isnt very sweet for a dessert. It does have alot of different kinds of flavours tho. This recipe serves 8 people.

Ingredients:

  • 1l Frozen Blueberries
  • 3dl Vanilla Cream
  • Digestive cookies
Whip up a nice solid foam out of the vanilla cream. Blend the blueberries. Get a 2dl glass and crumble a cookie at the bottom. Add 3 tablespoonfuls of blended blueberries and top up the glass with the vanilla cream foam. Mix the contents of the glass very carefully few turns with a tablespoon is enough. Decorate with cookies.

Black Salsify Soup

I made this soup for our dinner this sunday. It is a very simple soup to make and serves as a nice starter or part of bigger dinner. This recipe serves 4 people.

Ingredients:

  • 500g Black Salsify
  • 2 Onions
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2dl Milk
  • Vanilla
  • Sugar
I peeled the black salsify before boiling them, they need to be placed into cold water immediatelly to prevent discolouring. You can also peel the root after you have boiled them for about 20-25 minutes. After the black salsify is completely soft I blended them into puree and added some water to get a proper soupy consistency. Season with some salt and pepper. Heat up the milk and add some sugar and vanilla, the milk should be quite sweet and have a clear vanilla taste to it. When the milk starts boiling use an electric mixer to get a nice foam out of it. Serve the soup in bowls and place some milk foam on top.
