Janssons frestelse is a famous Swedish casserole prepared specially for Christmas Dinner. It has Potato, Onions and Fresh Cream
Janssons frestelse is a famous Swedish casserole prepared specially for Christmas Dinner, the specialty of this dish is that it uses pickled sprats (a type of fish) which are very common in Sweden and hence in my recipe is have not added any sprats and made as a veg dish.
However sprats can be replaced by any fish fillet, it tastes good. Basically, Janssons frestelse is a potato gratin prepared with pickled sprats and onions along with fresh cream. Today I am trying the veg version.
How to Prepare Janssons frestelse:
1. Butter a casserole or any baking dish generously .Line it with a layer of sliced onions ,next spread it with a layer of sliced potatoes .Next if you prefer add in the fish fillet. Traditional method calls for the fish layer too. But I skipped it.
2. Now pour in the heavy cream. Sprinkle in the breadcrumbs and some chili flakes and salt .finally add in the cheese and butter cubes randomly.
3. Preheat the oven at 220 Deg C for 10 mins and bake at 200 Deg C for about 40-45 mins are until the top brown and potatoes soften and cream has reduced.
