Smoked Trout Toasts

Smoked Trout Toasts

These smoked trout toast snacks are so simple it's hard to even call it a recipe, but it's a delicious way to use your home canned smoked trout [https://www.alewyfe.com/canning-smoked-trout/], or tins of your favorite store-bought smoked fish. Crispbread crackers spread with white creamy cheese and topped with flaky smoked fish and black pepper, this is Nordic cuisine at its simplest. Enjoy them for a smørrebrød-inspired snack to start the day with a light savory breakfast, an afternoon nosh to keep away the hunger pangs until dinner, or anytime in between. These elegant little smoked trout toasts also make a fantastic appetizer or passed canape for a party- just cut or break the crispbread into bite sized pieces.

Smoked Almond, Black Cardamom, and Bittersweet Chocolate Mocha No-Churn Ice
Cream

Smoked Almond, Black Cardamom, and Bittersweet Chocolate Mocha No-Churn Ice Cream

This is a smoky, sultry, sophisticated and complex desert that sounds far more complicated than it is to make! No ice cream machine needed... just whip cream, mix, and freeze! Enjoy this rich frozen treat on its own in a small waffle cone, or sandwiched in a shortbread or sugar cookie, or for an interesting contrast, in a chilled bowl with a handful of fresh tart blackberries.

Alewyfe Aquavit (aka, “Lie-nie”)

Alewyfe Aquavit (aka, “Lie-nie”)

A bracing beverage, infused with Scandinavian flavors of caraway, dill, and spice. This is fantastic chilled or served over ice, in a Viking Bloody Mary, or in mixed drinks. I like to add a bit of lingonberry or rhubarb syrup to a shot of aquavit on ice and top up with soda water for a refreshing summer cooler. Use a decent quality vodka here, but not the most expensive – save the dusty old bottle of Popov for cleaning windows, but you don't need to go high-end for this either… or frankly, ever, unless you enjoy lighting money on fire- save the premium labels for the brown liquor and gin, ok? Skål!
