This is the second episode in our new mini series where we travel around Sweden, explore local ingredients and traditions and cook with friends. A few weeks ago we were out in Tullinge forest learning about new (to us) edible mushrooms that we cooked over open fire together with our friend and professional forager Niki Sjölund: http://instagram.com/neonatur. We learned that mushrooms often grow around trees and under the moss. And that there are a lot more edible varieties out there than just chanterelles and porcini mushrooms. Not only did we cook with the mushrooms we found, but also with some wild forest herbs that Niki found. It might be an old cliché but outdoor cooking truly is the best. Although next time, I think we will bring spoons and bowls :)
Janssons frestelse (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈjɑːnˈsɔns ˈfrɛstɛlsə], Jansson's temptation) is a traditional Swedish casserole made of potatoes, onions, pickled sprats, bread crumbs and cream. It is commonly included in a Swedish Christmas dinner table, but can be eaten on other occasions such as Easter. The dish is also common in Finland as Janssoninkiusaus.

I made this today for our Saturday lunch. It is my first attempt after I tried the very delicious Swedish Meatballs in Stockholm. The restaurant's service was not the best as the waitresses were 'making faces'. But definitely the food was really good. My chef friend said most likely it is an 'institutional' type of restaurant as they do not care if you like their service knowing that you will come back for its good food anyway. Bakfickan at Jakobs Torg 12, The Royal Opera House. Sometimes it is called 'The Hip Pocket'. Eating at the counter was kind of an experience in this small intimate counter restaurant. The prices are on the high side but the food quality indeed impressed us!
This is the video recipe
