Caviar

Kaviar in Norwegian

For generations, young and not so young Norwegians have enjoyed caviar in their diet. It is made by sugar-salting smoked cod roe, which gives it its unique taste and texture.

This seafood is packaged in tubes for ease of use and storage. The contents weight 2.7 gram and is 10 centimeter in length (about 7-1/2).


That ends up being meters upon meters and millions of tubes produced per year. This delicacy is exportedall over the world.

Ideas for using and serving:

Kaviar is great with sliced hardboiled eggs and also with Jarlsberg (Norwegian swiss) or Gouda cheese.

The tubes are easy to use for "decorating" open face sandwiches and/or appetizers or just to make sandwiches.

It will liven up sauces, dressings and gravies. This great Norwegian delicacy will give canapés a delicious boost.

Blend it with cream cheese or other soft cheese and chives - spread on crackers for a quick, tasty snack.

For lovely hors d'ouvres, cut bread into star, circle and heart shapes with cookie cutters.

Spread cream cheese, (any favorite cheese spread) or place thin slices of white cheese s.a. Jarlsberg on the canapés. Use the tube to decorate/garnish along with a sprig of parsley.

Place deviled egg mix on bread or crackers. Embellish with kaviar and garnish.

Ideas for garnishing your appetizers/canapés:

Sliced or whole, green/black olives on tooth picks; thinly sliced fresh/roasted sweet red peppers; sliced green peppers; tomato wedges or grape tomatoes on tooth picks; marinated artichoke hearts; capers, leaf lettuce, lemon leaves, lemon slices, fresh parsley or dill.

open face sandwiches In Norway, we serve open face sandwiches (left), not just for parties, but every day. They are topped with seafoods, meats and cheeses as well as vegetables. Caviar, mayonnaise and cheeses are available in convenient tubes. It's easy to make appetizing sandwiches when you have great "tools".

Try egg salad sandwiches with Kaviar added directly to the salad or on top of an open face sandwich with a sprig of parsley or dill. The appealing combination will make your taste buds "zing".


I recently had my knitting club "The Knitwits" over and served open face egg salad sandwiches topped with thinly sliced red onions, sliced scallions, caviar, whole black olives and grape tomatoes. It was a delicious success.

You can really use your imagination incorporating Kaviar into your cooking.
