Norwegian Recipes

THIS DISH IS BASICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MIDDLE EAST BUT POPULAR IN RUSSIA AND CENTRAL ASIA AS WELL. HOWEVER, IT HAS BECOME QUITE POPULAR IN THE USA OVER THE YEARS AND MADE IN SEVERAL VARIATIONS. THE TRUE MIDDLE EASTERN VERSION IS DONE WITH LAMB AS THE BASE AND IS DELICIOUS BUT I NEVER MADE IT THAT WAY MYSELF. THIS PARTICULAR RECIPE IS MADE WITH A CHICKEN BASE IN PLACE OF THE LAMB. I'VE SERVED IT IN SEVERAL RESTAURANTS WHERE IT HAD BECOME A STAPLE AS WELL AS HAVING GREAT REVIEWS EVEN FROM THE PRESS. YA GUNA LOVIT!

There are many different types of this flat bread. This version should remain soft rather than crisp (hence the name lefse, or soft cake).

I usually put this in three, small loaf pans so that I can give them as gifts.
