Lutefisk [0000909]

Ingredients:

1 pound gluten-free lutefisk (make sure it's gluten-free)
4 cups water
1/4 cup salt
2 cups gluten-free white sauce (see recipe below)
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Lingonberry sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and stir in the salt until it dissolves. Let the water cool completely.

Submerge the gluten-free lutefisk in the saltwater solution, making sure it's fully covered. Let it soak for 5-7 days, changing the water daily to remove excess lye and salt.

After the soaking period, rinse the lutefisk thoroughly under cold running water.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil.

Add the rinsed lutefisk to the boiling water and simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes until the fish is tender and flakes easily.

While the lutefisk is cooking, prepare the gluten-free white sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the gluten-free flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Season with white pepper and nutmeg.

Serve your gluten-free Norwegian Lutefisk hot, drizzled with the white sauce and garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Lingonberry sauce can also be served on the side if desired.

Enjoy your gluten-free Norwegian Lutefisk, a traditional Scandinavian delicacy!
