Kathleen and lefsa......Re: Update time folks!

[Guest guest]

I am very partial to tunnbröd (the Swedish version of lefse) wrapped around mashed potatoes and either fried herring or smoked reindeer. Delicious!I have never tried lefsa (not the ordinary kind at least, but I've had the variety baked with blood, the paltbröd, common in northern Sweden and in parts of Norway too), but I think it's kind of similar to tunnbröd. It's used for wraps in kind of the same way at least.love/Reb>> I’ve always found flour tortillas rather tasteless compared to lefse. When I make lefse, I mash the potatoes (rather warm), add butter, salt and just a little bit of flour. Put some on a well floured board and knead it in a bit and then roll when handle able and cook on a dry griddle until nicely browned in spots.

My favorite filling for lefse is rhulapulsa (spelling??) Reb, do you know what that is? It is a cured meat sausage of strips of seasoned beef and pork wrapped and tied into a beef flank. It is cured in a salt brine and then boiled until done. Then it is pressed until somewhat flat – like maybe 3 inches thick. I’ve never made it but my grandmother did and then my mom did. Yummy!! Ham will do if necessary.
