Brunost – DIY Norwegian Cheese

Brunost – DIY Norwegian Cheese

Sue’s Daughter bought her a Cheese making kit for Mothers Day. Little did we know then that we would have so much time on our hands at the moment. We’ve been beavering away at a few of the recipes, depending on the ingredients we've been able to get our hands on.

So Brunost? It’s an odd sort of Cheese recipe really, but it’s also very good. So good that we’ve just finished it all!

Basically the ingredients are 1L of full fat Milk, 1L Whey (Which we had from making the Romanian Bryndza Cheese), 400Ml of Double Cream, Salt and Chilli flakes. You simmer all the ingredients gently in a large pan for about 3 hours until most of the water has evaporated. Pack it into a Cheese mould and allow it to mature in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It ends up semi-hard but just spreadable.

The Pesto on the cracker is our home brewed Fennel Pesto

Asian Baked Basa

These Basa fillets were originally priced at £5.36 by had a yellow sticker price of £1.12 So Sue headed to the recipes on Google and came up with this…..

Ingredients:-

3 Basa Fillets
1 Thumb of fresh Ginger, finely sliced
A hand fun of Cashew Nuts, toasted
A hand fun of Laver Seaweed, finely chopped and deep fried
2 Tbsp of Honey
1 Tbsp of Rice Wine Vinegar
2 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
1 Tbsp of Oyster Sauce (Gluten free for us)
300g Butter / Margarine
1 Tbsp of fresh Thai Basil, chopped

Method:-

(1) Combine the Honey, Rice Wine Vinegar, Soy Sauce and Oyster Sauce in a bowl.
(2) Place the Basa fillets on Foil then but dots of Margarine or Butter on the Fish, followed by the sliced Ginger.
(3) Spoon over the Honey mix.
(4) Wrap the Foil around the Fish so none of the liquid can escape.
(5) Place on an oven tray and put in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 20 to 25 minutes.
(6) To serve plate the Fish and pour over the remaining cooking sauce. Sprinkle with the toasted Cashew Nuts and fried Seaweed.

We served ours with Crispy Roasted Asian Potatoes and fried Bok Choy. All very tasty. In fact we’re wondering if we’ll ever really enjoy English food again….
