Jansson's Temptation (Janssons Frestelse)
We may never know who Jansson is, but Jansson's temptation (Janssons frestelse) is an absolute must on a cold and frigid evening. You might be put off by the inclusion of anchovies, but you will be really surprised at how well the saltiness of the fish works in this dish. If the anchovies are a definite 'no,' then substitute smoked salmon. It won't have the same saltiness in each bite, but the salmon can be just as delicious in its own right. This is the one recipe that I get requests for after parties and there is always an amusing display of disbelief afterwards when the inclusion of anchovies is revealed.
Classic Veal Marsala
This classic veal marsala recipe is similar to the veal pesada at a popular Florida restaurant. I've spent extensive time eating my way through Italy and modified this recipe from a restaurant in Bagnione, Italy. I've substituted a combination of low-salt beef and chicken broth in place of veal stock; pounded pork medallions are also commonly substituted.
