Labskaus
1/4 lb. filleted salt herring
9 med. sized boiling potatoes (about 3 lbs.), unpeeled
6 tbsp. lard
1 1/2 lb. cooked brisket of corned beef, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/8-inch dice
2 1/2 c. finely chopped onions
Freshly ground black pepper
Ground nutmeg
Place herring fillets in a bowl of cold water. Refrigerate and soak for at least 12 hours,
changing water once or twice. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Pat dry; remove
any skin or bones. Chop the herring as fine as possible. Boil potatoes in lightly salted
water until done. Drain and peel them, then force them through a ricer or food mill into
large bowl. In heavy 12-inch skillet, melt 6 tablespoons of lard over moderate heat.
Add herring, corned beef and onions. Lower heat and cook, stirring frequently, for
20 minutes, watching carefully for any signs of burning. Stir in the potatoes, pepper
and nutmeg and simmer only long enough to heat the mixture through. If the hash seems
too dry or sticks to the pan, moisten it with a little water. Taste for seasoning and
mound the hash attractively on a large heated platter. Labskaus may be served with a
poached egg on each portion and accompanied by pickled beets.

Swedish Limpa (Rye Bread)
3 c. rye flour
3 c. white flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp. salt
2 c. milk
1/4 c. margarine
1/3 c. Crisco
1/3 c. molasses
1 tbsp. anise seed
1 tbsp. fennel seed, crushed
2 tsp. grated orange peel
2 pkgs. of dry yeast
1/2 c. water
1 tsp. sugar
Dissolve 2 package dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar. Set aside.
Heat milk to lukewarm and add margarine, Crisco, molasses, anise and fennel seeds along
with the orange peel until margarine and the Crisco are melted. Add 1/4 cup sugar to
the heated milk until dissolved. Mix rye and white flours together along with the salt.
Add dissolved yeast and milk mixture. Combine all ingredients well. Turn out onto a
lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic. Add more flour to keep dough
from sticking, if needed. Place dough into greased bowl and let rise until double in bulk.
Cover bowl with a towel or wax paper. Punch dough down and turn out onto lightly floured
surface. Divide dough in half. Knead each half a few minutes and shape into a loaf pan.
Let rise in warm place until double in bulk. Cover each loaf pan with a towel or wax paper.
(Remember to spray each loaf pan with Pam). Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until
golden brown and loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from loaf pans to wire rack.
Cool completely. After the loaves are baked, brush tops with Karo syrup that has been
diluted with hot water. Yields 2 loaves.

Subject: Rice, cheese, and Garlic casserole
I am looking for a rice casserole dish my mother made in the early 60’s.
The ingredients were Rice, cheese, and Garlic.
I believe she used Velveeta cheese and garlic salt.
Any help you can give me and my family would make us very happy.

Hello Barry,
See below.
Phaed
Cheese - Rice Casserole
1 c. uncooked white rice
1 sm. onion, chopped
1/2 c. evaporated milk
1/2 c. Wesson oil
1/4 to 1/2 lb. Velveeta cheese, grated
1/2 c. parsley flakes, dried or fresh
Salt, pepper, garlic salt
Cook rice and rinse. Put in large bowl. Add other ingredients and stir well.
Place in well-greased (Pam spray) casserole dish and bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees
or until it bubbles. This dish is best prepared the day before it is to be served.
The flavor is better, very rich and creamy.
