Favourites on the Christmas table

We're not really big "Christmas celebrators". Many times we've been travelling over Christmas - and not celebrating at all - and if we're at home we rarely make a big deal of the holiday. We may skip Christmas food altogether if we're travelling, but if we're at home, there are a few favourites that we like to serve.

1. meatballs

Meatballs have risen to the top of our list recently, which is due to the fact that Peter makes such incredible meatballs these days. You can find his meatball recipe here.

2. beetroot salad

Beetroot salad is another favourite. Especially good with meatballs! We usually buy the beetroot salad ready-made, but it's actually quite easy to make your own version.

3. Christmas ham with mustard

Christmas ham with mustard is delicious! This favourite is good on the Christmas table, but maybe yet tastier on a hard sandwich for breakfast or lunch, in the days before and after Christmas Eve.

4. Pickled herring

We both like pickled herring very much, but we eat it almost only on holidays like Christmas and Midsummer. Our favourite is classic pickled herring or possibly onion herring. Ideally, we want a nubbe with it, and preferably Skåne!

5. Gravlax with courtier sauce

Gravlax is another favourite, which always feels luxurious and festive. Super tasty with butler's sauce! We often buy ready-made butler's sauce, but we've also tried making our own.

6. Jansson's temptation

Jansson's temptation is another favourite. This is also a dish that we eat quite rarely in normal cases, and then it becomes all the more delicious for a change. Preferably on the Christmas table, but also works as a simpler meal.

7. Brussels sprouts

Brussels sprouts can be really, really good, especially if you cut it in half and fry it in butter. We rarely buy brussels sprouts for everyday use, so they are a welcome break at Christmas.

8. Anthon Berg marzipan

We don't normally eat a lot of sweets, with the possible exception of ice cream. But at Christmas we want to eat marzipan from Anthon Berg. Sooo good!
