About the dish

From the fish chapter of Henriette Schønberg Erken's "Stor kokebok" (1914). Small puff-pastry molds filled with fish forcemeat were a typical finer starter or intermediate course in middle-class homes.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Line the molds

    Roll out the puff pastry thin and line small fluted molds (tartlet molds) with pastry.

  2. 2

    Fill

    Place a spoonful of fish forcemeat in each mold. Place an oyster, some shrimp, or cooked peas in the center of the forcemeat.

  3. 3

    Cover

    Cover with a lid of puff pastry and press the edges together. Brush with egg if desired.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the molds on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 200 °C (390 °F) for about 20 minutes until the pastry is golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Turn the pâtés out onto a warm platter and serve with a sauce that suits the filling.

Changes from the original

Amounts are estimated for 12 small molds since the original gives no measures. "Tin molds" is modernized to small tartlet/muffin molds, and the puff pastry can be store-bought.
