Have you ever tried karbonader? Yep, I didn't think so, I've never eaten it either. In fact, I had never even heard of karbonader, the Norwegian-style open faced slider, until I stumbled across this image in the Savory Sights group in the YumSugar Community. Senorita writes:
My mormor (grandmother in Norwegian) was up for the weekend and treated my family to her delicious karbonader. It is a slice of bread with Norwegian mayo, a patty of ground meat (usually a variety of beef, pork, etc.) topped with caramelized onions, butter lettuce leaves, and a tomato slice. It is a super simple dish, but one of my favorites.
Don't they sound absolutely delectable? What I want to know is, what exactly is Norwegian mayo?! Do you have a favorite grandmother's recipe to share? Please tell us about it below or in the community.
This is a very traditional and popular cake here in Norway. It is normally made with heavy cream or milk, but I prefer to use buttermilk to make it lighter, but still get a very moist and fluffy cake. It is delicious served warm with whipped cream, caramel ice cream or vanilla custard or alone at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.
One of my good friends was recently explaining how much she missed her Norwegian grandmother's Christmas cookies. She recalled them as a simple butter cookie marked by her grandmother's thumbprint and sprinkled in sugar. I took note of all of the details and luckily, I was able to find a recipe that matched her description.
