IDA'S HOME-MADE ICE CREAM CAKE
Idas hemlagade glasstårta

Ida's cake isn't shaped as these cakes usually are, but made in a rectangular bread baking pan. It consists of delicious almond paste layers alternated with berries of the season and ice cream. The success is … well, a success!

Serves 8

10.6 oz almond paste
3 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
1.2 cups heavy cream
4 cups fresh or frozen berries like
raspberries, strawberries or blueberries


Heat the oven to 300F.

Coarsely grate the almond paste. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff. Mix the almond paste with the egg whites.

Draw 3 rectangles on baking paper, using the bread pan you will use for making the cake (it should hold about 6 cups). Spread the almond batter onto that and bake the layers on the middle shelf of the oven for about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and remove the baking paper. 

Beat egg yolks and sugar until fluffy. Beat the cream and mix it into the egg batter with the berries. Alternate almond layers and berry creme in the pan - start and finish with almond layers. Cover with plastic foil and put in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Unmould the cake about 20 minutes before serving.

Decorate, if you wish, with 0.8 cup whipped cream and 2 cups berries.

RASPBERRY SORBET MOUSSE
Hallonsorbetmousse

0.6 cup sugar
0.6 cup water
0.6 cup heavy cream

Fluffy and simple. The leftover egg yolks can be stored in a well-sealed can in the fridge for 2 days to mix in e.g. a pasta dish. I know that raw eggs aren't always to be trusted in all parts of the world, though. Swedes have been spoilt with salmonella-free eggs.

2 cups vanilla ice cream
lemon balm for decoration


Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Separate the eggs. Mix strawberries, vanilla seeds, egg whites and sugar in a mixer or food processor until fluffy.

Szegediner Goulash - Szegediner Gulasch

SZEGEDINER GOULASH
Szegediner Gulasch

The city of Szeged in southern Hungary is where this goulash was born. In the classic version of this stew there are three different kinds of meat. This is a more simplified version. Do not use a cast-iron pot as it doesn't go well with the sauerkraut.

Serves 6

1 tablespoon butter or margarine
3 to 4 middle-sized onions
1 garlic clove
2 green bell peppers
1 lb 12 oz lean pork collar
2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
0.8 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1 bouillon cube (I mostly use chicken bouillon)
1 rounded tablespoon tomato paste
1 can sauerkraut, approx 1 lb

For thickening:
0.8 cup water
1 tablespoon flour


Peel and slice the onion. Trim and shred the bell peppers. Melt some fat in the pot you will use to cook the stew and sizzle the vegetables together with the crushed garlic clove. Cut the meat in ½-inch shreds and fry it together with the vegetables. Dust with the sweet paprika and add water enough to cover the meat and vegetables. Add salt and bouillon cube and boil for 30 minutes.

Make a thickening of water and flour, remove the pot from heat and stir in the thickening. Add tomato paste and sauerkraut and boil for another 30 minutes. Flavor to taste with pepper and more salt if necessary, but bear in mind that the bouillon cube contains rather a lot of salt.
