About the dish

Jellied dishes and rings with a salad in the middle were common on the cold table and as intermediate dishes in the book. The tomato ring is one of several tomato dishes from this part of the 1949 edition.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Mix the tomato

    Squeeze the juice from the lemon and stir it into the tomato purée.

  2. 2

    Dissolve the gelatine

    Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water. Dissolve the stock cubes and the soaked gelatine in the boiling water. Stir into the tomato mixture and season with paprika, sugar and salt.

  3. 3

    Pour into mould

    Pour the mixture into a ring mould rinsed with cold water. Leave to set in the refrigerator.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Turn the ring out onto a plate and fill the centre with ice-cold salad in mayonnaise, such as Italian salad.

Changes from the original

'4 del.' is converted to dl and a 'knife-point' is given as a pinch. The original gives no setting time; it is estimated here, and 'hes' is read as pouring the mixture into the mould.

Note on Modernised

«4 del.» er omregnet til dl, og «knivsodd» står som en klype. Koketid for gelé er ikke oppgitt; stivningstiden er anslått, og «hell» er tolket som å helle massen i formen.

Frequently asked questions

What can I fill the centre with?
Erken serves an ice-cold salad in mayonnaise, Italian or another kind, in the middle of the ring.
How do I stop the jelly sticking?
The mould should be rinsed in cold water before the mixture is poured in, as Erken writes.
