More sausage to end the week. Since it's kielbasa, I dedicate this post to my Brown Sugar.
She knows who she is...
The pickles were delicious, especially the dill ones. The crazy thing is they haven't even finished......pickling? Flavoring? Anyway, the longer they sit, the better they will get. The vegetables were nothing special-- just sauteed in butter (and a nice bed for my kielbasa). I talked about the Pate de Campagne in a previous post, so nothing new there.
The Salmon Gravlax was surprisingly my favorite dish of the day. It's salmon is seasoned with salt, dill and sugar and allowed to chill wrapped in that mixture for a few days. Mixed with the mustard sauce and served on a cracker, it becomes a nice blend of the sweet/fishy salmon taste and the bite from the mustard sauce, with the cracker pulling it all together. Plus Gravlax just sounds cool...like a futuristic laxative spacemen will have to take if dealing with a gastrointestinal problems during rocket takeoff.
The Vegetable Terrine was good, but nothing I would go ape about. Just tasted like vegetables, layered together (which it essentially was).
Obviously the kielbasa was a star of the day. We smoked it ourselves (along with some turkey breasts, bacon and pastrami we will eat in some form early next week), and the smokey flavor really came through. Mixed with the 'kraut and vegetables-- perfect.
Happy weekend, all! :D
