Martin Luther married Katherine Von Bora, a runaway nun, in June of 1525 at the age of 41. Katie, as Martin came to call her, kept order at home while he waged his war against indulgences. We invite you to indulge yourself now in some heart Lutheran (or not so Lutheran) recipes. |

ROULADEN 2 lb. beef round steak, cut 1/4-inch thick salt pepper paprika 1/2 c. chopped onion 6 slices bacon, chopped mustard Cut steak into 6 or more rectangular pieces; pound each piece flat. Brush each piece with mustard; sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Divide chopped onion and bacon onto meat. Roll up each meat slice jelly roll fashion. Secure with toothpicks. In heavy pan brown the rouladen on all sides. Add just enough boiling water or beef broth so rouladen will simmer gently in covered pot, about 1-1/2 hours. Blend 1/2 cup water and flour to thicken gravy. Mushrooms or sour cream may be added if desired. |
| BROTCHEN (German Hard Rolls) 1 pkg. yeast |
| Cookie Sheet Strudel Strudel Dough: 4 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 sticks regular margarine at room temperature (I use butter) 3 tablespoons sour cream 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 egg 2 cans cherry or peach prepared pie or cookie filling Streusel Topping 1/2 cup margarine at room temperature (prefer butter) 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup flour cinnamon powdered sugar Mix flour sugar and salt. Cut in 2 sticks of softened butter, as if making pie crust. Mix sour cream, baking soda and beaten egg. Add sour cream-egg mixture to flour mixture. Dough will be sticky. Dip hands in flour then put dough onto greased jelly roll pan and pat out dough over bottom and up sides. (Keep dusting hands with flour). Spread canned fruit filling over dough. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Make streusel topping by cutting together margarine(butter), sugar and flour. When crumbly, sprinkle over fruit filling. Dust with cinnamon. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375 degrees and bake another 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. When cool, sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar. Cut into squares. Note: Be careful if you use margarine not to use the spread, has too much liquid in it to give good results. |
| Norwegian Egg Coffee Bring 10 cups of water in a kettle to a boil on the stovetop Mix together in a small bowl: |
Cucumber Salad (Agurksalat)1 European cucumber Thinly slice the cucumber. Mix dressing well and pour over cucumber slices in serving bowl. Make salad ready early enough to let dressing penetrate without making cucumbers soft (about one-half hour). Sprinkle with fine chopped fresh parsley. |
| Lutefisk In the oven Place the fish skin side down in a roasting pan or an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with salt, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake at 200°C for about 40 minutes. In the microwave oven Place the fish, skin side down, in a covered dish suitable for microwave cooking. Sprinkle with salt, and cover. For best results, cook 1 kg at a time. Cook 1-kg fish for 6 minutes at 600 watts. Check to see whether the fish is cooked. Thick pieces may require another 2 minutes, perhaps more. Let the fish stand for 5 minutes before serving. |
