Rakfisk wrap with Ambrosia apple and sour cream
Rakfisk is weird, it looks like fish but it smells like cheese. The flavour is a punch in your face: a mix of fishy fish and the strongest and spiciest Gorgonzola ever. After reading this the most of you will skip to something else, so I'm talking to my bravest readers who are still here: Rakfisk is a queer fish (hah!) but it's absolutely delicious. Today I'm sharing with you a simple snack, quick and easy but very enjoyable.
For the rakfisk apple wrap you'll need
- 1 medium mais tortilla
- 4 small chunks of trout Rakfisk
- 4 slices of Ambrosia apple
- 3 slices of red onion
- 1 tbsp of sour cream
- 2 leaves of lettuce
On a nonstick pan heat up the tortilla. When it's soft place it on a cutting board and start adding the ingredients by placing them on an imaginary rectangle in the center of the tortilla. Start with the fish then add the onions, the apple, the sour cream and the lettuce. Seal the wrap with a little spread of sour cream, cut it in two halves and you're set for a fresh and tasty nibble.
The apple gives a crunchy and sweet touch to the fish and freshens up the whole wrap, you can also try with a pear (better if not too ripe).
If you're not in Norway you're probably thinking "what the heck do I do with this recipe?", as you can't find Rakfisk anywhere else. Well, you can replace it with smoked salmon or lox but it's not the same. I suggest to just come and visit Norway because it's beautiful (and you can find Rakfisk!).
Spis opp, folkens!
