Brunost – DIY Norwegian Cheese

Brunost – DIY Norwegian Cheese

Sue’s Daughter bought her a Cheese making kit for Mothers Day. Little did we know then that we would have so much time on our hands at the moment. We’ve been beavering away at a few of the recipes, depending on the ingredients we've been able to get our hands on.

So Brunost? It’s an odd sort of Cheese recipe really, but it’s also very good. So good that we’ve just finished it all!

Basically the ingredients are 1L of full fat Milk, 1L Whey (Which we had from making the Romanian Bryndza Cheese), 400Ml of Double Cream, Salt and Chilli flakes. You simmer all the ingredients gently in a large pan for about 3 hours until most of the water has evaporated. Pack it into a Cheese mould and allow it to mature in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It ends up semi-hard but just spreadable.

The Pesto on the cracker is our home brewed Fennel Pesto

Squeaky Cheese Balls

Yes you read that right. There was a small pack of Yorkshire Squeaky Cheese in the discounts for 80p. When we had a play with it, it turned out to be very much like Mozzarella in consistency. So we “invented” Squeaky Cheese Balls!

Ingredients:-

Chilli powder
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Plain Flour ( Gluten free for us)
2 Slices of Bread ( Again this was home made Gluten free Olive bread left from an experiment the other day )
2 Eggs
Mozzarella style Cheese

Method:-

(1) Mix the Chilli Powder, Garlic Salt and Black Pepper into your Flour.
(2) Beat the Egg to make an Egg wash.
(3) Cut the Cheese into cubes about an inch / two and a half centimetres across.
(4) Wuzz the Bread to make Breadcrumbs.
(5) Heat a deep fat fryer to 160c.
(6) Dredge each piece of Cheese in the Flour mix.
(7) Drop into the Egg wash and coat on all sides.
(8) Roll in the  Breadcrumbs.
(9) Fry in small batches until they float and the  Breadcrumbs are golden brown.

We enjoyed these with home made Lacto - fermented Kimchi & Chilli Cauliflower, Coleslaw with Red Cabbage for a bit of colour, roasted Potato wedges and a small Pork steak each. Perhaps Spring has sprung and we can all start enjoying lighter meals again?
