cooking in oslo on a budget...

norwegian people think my recipes are strange... i'm sorry if i take traditional norwegian ingredients and add flavors to make them more tasty... or tasty at all.... see for yourself:
roast beef tacos on "lomper" with tomatoes, green onions, cottage cheese and secret aardvark hot sauce (i'm going to need a refill soon).

a more traditional meal with a twist: norwegian steak with a balsamic red onion relish, twice cooked garlic potatoes, and a greek salad.

norwegian salmon and crawfish with feta couscous, cucumbers and sweet chili drizzle.

jarlsberg Sliders: 1 with guacamole and the other tomato, grilled onions,  and lettuce.  and, of course, ringnes norwegian beer.

norwegian salmon and crawfish green curry, with egg noodles, green onions, peas and parsley.

half pound jarls-burger with guacamole, the regular fix-ins and fresh red chilis (which are not spicy at all, I desperately need to find fresh jalapeños, but the canned ones will have to do for now)

teriyaki norwegian salmon with peas, broccoli and soft-boiled eggs over feta couscous... and sweet chili drizzle for good measure.

a close up of the previous.

the same as above but with fresh broccoli...  a nice improvement.

pineapple green curry norwegian salmon, shrimp and crawfish over couscous... with broccoli and roasted nuts.
as you can see, seafood is a cheap and delicious staple, as is green curry (not very norwegian).  i will get tired of green curry, but not of the seafood, so expect more varieties soon.
