Swedish side dishes

A range of typically Swedish sides dishes. Swedes love salads and frequently serve salads with hot dishes. Traditionally they were great preservers of food in order to cope with long harsh winters and although this is no longer necessary it is still a distinctive feature of Swedish food.

Potato gratin (Potatisgratäng)
Potatisgratäng (potato gratin) is the Swedish version of potato gratin. It is a wonderful dish with lovely creamy potatoes. It goes well beef, lamb, venison and, as shown here, tjälknöl, an ingenious dish from northern Sweden.

Salad with pumpkin seeds and feta (Sallad med pumpafrön och fetaost)
There is no such thing as a Swedish salad to match a Greek salad. Nonetheless, there are a few characteristics of salads in Sweden including: - they nearly always include a dressing, - herbs are nearly always added (dill is particularly popular), - raw vegetables (often grated) are usually included, - seeds are frequently added, - fruit is often added as a garnish, - where cheese is included it is nearly always feta. This particular salad meets many of the criteria above and is easy to make.

Salad with papaya and edamame (Sallad med papaya och edamamebönor)
Salads are very popular in Sweden, including as an accompaniment to hot food, and Swedes tend to eat salad more often than cooked vegetables. It is also quite common to include fruit. With a short growing season they also tend of make use of imported fruit in some salads, as in this case where papaya and soya beans are added to mixed lettuce leaves to create a colourful and tasty salad.

Rosehip jelly and rowan berry jelly (Nypongelé och rönnbärsgelé)
Wait for a nice autumn day and go out for a walk in the countryside picking some juicy red rosehips which shine like jewels on the spiky branches in the hedgerows and then make some wonderful rosehip jelly. The jelly is rich in vitamin C and goes well with game and pork as well on toast and scones.

Root mash (Rotmos)
Swedes eat a lot of raw vegetables but they also enjoy rotmost (root mash). It is something Swedes prepare with care and pride. Parsnips, swede, turnips, potatoes, carrots and Hamburg parsley can all be used for the base. The texture is usually very smooth and creamy but if preferred the roots can be lightly crushed. Rotmos goes well with braised lamb or pork sausages.

Redcurrants, stirred (Rårörda röda vinbär)
Rårörda röda vinbär is hard to translate. It is really made of four words: rå (raw) rörda (moved) röda (red) and vinbär (currants). (Sometimes röda is omitted or combined with vinbär as rödvinbär.) My preferred translation is stirred redcurrants because essentially that is all you do: add sugar and stir. Rårörda vinbär goes well with many savoury dishes as well as sweet dishes.

Redcurrant jelly (Rödvinbärsgelé)
Hemgjord rödvinbärsgelé (homemade redcurrant jelly) is a popular accompaniment to game, lamb, grilled chicken or stew and for serving with cheese and biscuits. Most commercial redcurrant jellies are too sweet and lacking in flavour whereas this recipe produces a well-flavoured jelly with a gorgeous redcurrant colour and yet it is quick and easy to make!

Red cabbage, braised (Rödkål)
Kokt rödkål (pickled red cabbage) is a popular dish to serve with pork and ham. There are countless ways of preparing this dish, so don’t hesitate to adapt the recipe to what you have available and what you like. The principle is simple: cook shredded red cabbage slowly, smothered in something vinegary along with some onion, apple and something red, dark and juicy. (Unlike green cabbage, it keeps well and can be reheated successfully.)

Cucumber, pressed (Pressgurka)
Pressgurka (pressed cucumber) is a classic accompaniment to many Swedish dishes, including roasts, grills and, most famously, meatballs with cream sauce, mashed potatoes and lingonberries. It is very easy to make and keeps well in a jar in the fridge for a few days. It really is worth making some and using it as a quick and easy vegetable! Cucumber really has a lot to more to offer than a bit of salad garnish: try some pressed cucumber for yourself!
