Family


This section is so you can get to know the family behind The Modern Norseman, I feel that getting to know us is just as important and knowing what we stand for, how we interact within our culture.  Both my husband and I have Scandinavian and Norse ancestry which has led us to embrace our ancestorial culture and lifestyle.


My Husband Aaron, myself Åse, and our sweet fur baby Raven.  I'll get a family picture up at some point LOL and I'll be expanding this section a bit more in the near future.

Norwegian Butter Sauce (Sandefjordsmor)

  INGREDIENTS * 2 lemons, juiced  * ½ cup heavy cream * 5 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes * Salt to taste * Cayenne or white pepper, to taste * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley DIRECTIONS 1. Place lemon juice in saucepan over medium heat; simmer until lemon juice reduces to less than a tablespoon and almost disappears, 4 or 5 minutes, being careful not to let it burn. Quickly add cream; whisk to combine. Continue to cook until cream reduces and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 or 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low. 2. Whisk in 2 or 3 pieces of cold butter, stirring until butter melts before adding more. Add 2 or 3 more butter cubes. (If cream mixture cools too quickly, the sauce may break.) Continue adding butter a few pieces at a time until all butter is emulsified into the cream, 8 to 10 minutes. Add salt, cayenne or white pepper, and 2 generous tablespoons chopped parsley. Whisk until well blended. Keep sauce warm until ready to use.

Place milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in rice and 1⁄3 cup of the sugar.

Set aside to cool. 2. Meanwhile, pick through raspberries. Place berries in a food processor, add remaining 2 tbsp. of sugar, and puree until smooth. Strain raspberry sauce through a fine sieve and set aside. 3. Just before serving, whip heavy cream. Fold cream into pudding and transfer into bowls.
