Spicy Gravlaks with Aquavit

Ingredients

Two 1-pound salmon fillets, skin on, any pinbones removed
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
2 teaspoons aniseed
5 juniper berries
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or 1 small dried hot red chile pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons aquavit, brandy, eau-de-vie, or Scotch (Mock Aquavit)

Rinse the fillets in cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Crush the caraway seeds, aniseed, juniper berries, red pepper flakes, and black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle. Or place the spices on a cutting board or other hard surface and crush them with the underside of a heavy skillet. Combine with the salt, sugar, and dill.

Place one of the fillets skin side down in a deep dish just big enough to hold the fillets. Rub the fillet with half the spice and dill mixture. Rub the other fillet with the mixture and place it skin side up on top of the first. Pour the aquavit on top, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and place a heavy weight, such as two heavy plates or a saucepan, on top of the fish.

Refrigerate for 3 to 4 days, turning the fish every 12 hours and basting it with the brine that accumulates in the dish.

To serve, dust off some of the spices and slice the fish into thin slices with a sharp thin knife. The flesh from the tail will be leaner than the flesh from the belly. Serve with mustard sauce and dark rye bread, for open-faced sandwiches, or with mustard, pickles, and capers.

Serves 6 to 8

Chicken Morsels in Lemon Cream Pasta Sauce

Ingredients

Chicken Morsels in Lemon Cream Pasta Sauce

2 boneless chicken breasts, cut in 1 inch cubes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or virgin olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind plus some shredded, to garnish
1/2 – 1 tablespoon pepperoncino (hot, red pepper flakes) optional, to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 pound of pasta

Saute the cubed chicken in the butter or oil until browned. Drain and set aside.

Combine the cream, chicken stock, lemon rind and hot pepper (optional) in a pan over medium heat. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and thickened slightly. Add the cooked chicken cubes and mix well. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. You can hold the sauce at this point until the pasta is cooked and drained.

While the sauce is reducing, cook the pasta. Drain the pasta and return to pot. Add the sauce and herbs (chives and parsley) to the pasta and toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with finely shredded lemon rind.

Serves 4
