Hi!
I am now back in the UK after two lovely weeks on the south coast in Sweden. Only downside was being without internet for most of that time, hence the silence.
My first supper in Sweden mum spoiled me with fried Arctic char, a fabulous fish that is a bit difficult to find in the UK so I thoroughly enjoy it when I go back home. We had new potatoes, steamed carrots and a lovely sauce with it. The sauce is already in the blog’s archive, but is worth mentioning again as it makes a nice piece of simply prepared fish into a feast.
Most things are coastal blue in the summer house, even the tableware.
Pan-fried Arctic char, steamed new potatoes and carrots and that divine sauce.
Strawberry ripple icecream with strawberries from my parent’s garden for dessert.
Herb sauce with lime, serves 4
50 g butter
250 ml creme fraiche
200 ml milk
50 ml dry white wine
1 tsp dijon mustard
concentrated fish stock
3 egg yolks
20 g mixed fresh herbs
1/5 lime, the zest
salt & pepper
Mix all the ingredients apart from the yolks and herbs in a saucepan. Stir until it has boiled for a few minutes. Then add the sauce to the yolks bit by bit until they have soaked up everything. Heat the sauce up so it thickens but it must not boil. Add the herbs and serve.
