\"\"Ok, I know I’m really pushing this whole Scandinavian food thing here. Most people weren’t really turned on to the Norwegian Veal Scallops in Cream Sauce<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Why? I have no idea, because when you actually try them you’ll truly enjoy veal<\/a> in a whole new way you’ve not probably tried before. Open minds and open taste buds are critical aspects of the food-pleasure marriage.<\/p>\n

I’m not the only one who needs a reminder to try new things. Sometimes we just get too comfortable or too lazy to make something new and ‘exotic’ to us.<\/p>\n

Enough said.<\/p>\n

I’m definitely new to savoring<\/em> as well as preparing all things Scandinavian, but I have tried some nice things at Ikea, like their open-faced shrimp sandwich–ok, I’m sure Swedes out there will bash me for saying that’s real Scandinavian cuisine, but other than a few Swedish pancakes made by my college roommate many moons ago, I really haven’t opened my tastebuds to such a wonderful and fresh array of flavor in a long time.<\/p>\n

I’ve been yearning for something different. <\/em>Different to me. <\/em><\/p>\n

Which is why I thought you must also just give these Swedish Crab Canap\u00e9s a try, <\/em>especially if you’re too comfortable or too lazy to invite guests over for a light snack or appetizers. No one will know how easy it was, but insha’allah they’ll love that you went slightly out of your way to serve something a bit different.<\/em><\/p>\n

(<\/em>This very simple recipe was in last month’s issue of MB Muslima <\/a>magazine as part of the Scandinavian Cuisine<\/strong> featured in My Halal Kitchen<\/em>‘s monthly food contribution)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is not only a wonderful party appetizer, but can also be a healthy snack. If you want an alternative to a tuna sandwich, spread the crab mixture onto large pieces of bread and make yourself a sandwich out of it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Swedish Crab Canapes<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

(Makes 2 dozen appetizers or 3-4 sandwiches)<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
6 ounces (170 grams) real crab meat<\/h5>\n
1 tablespoon white grape or apple juice<\/h5>\n
1 teaspoon sea salt<\/a><\/h5>\n
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill<\/h5>\n
1 tablespoon small capers<\/h5>\n
1 tablespoon butter<\/a><\/h5>\n
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour<\/h5>\n
1 egg yolk<\/h5>\n
1 cup heavy cream<\/h5>\n
24 quarter-size crackers or 6 pieces of large toasted bread, preferably rye or pumpernickel<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Directions<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, juice, sea salt<\/a>, dill and capers. Set aside.<\/h5>\n
In a small sauce pan, melt the butter<\/a>. When it begins to froth, add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until you\u2019ve made a roux*<\/em>, or paste. Keep stirring until you\u2019ve removed all the lumps. Remove from heat.<\/h5>\n
In a small bowl, crack the egg yolk and add the heavy cream. Whisk both ingredients together then add this mixture to the roux<\/em> you just made. Stir until smooth. You\u2019ve just made a sauce.<\/h5>\n
Add the sauce to the crab meat mixture. Use a fork to separate the crab meat and blend into the sauce, then use a large spoon to finish mixing, until all ingredients are well combined. Taste for seasoning at this point and add anything you feel is needed.<\/h5>\n
Dollop crab mixture onto crackers or toast for appetizers or spread mixture onto large pieces of bread for sandwiches.<\/h5>\n
*a roux<\/em> is a blend of fat (in this case, butter<\/a>) and flour done to create a thickener for sauces.<\/h5>\n
