Yesterday for supper I served abehjerne and a salad. Abehjerne is Danish for monkey brains. I'm guessing that a kid looked at the dish and said that it looked like monkey brains and the name stuck. The recipe I followed uses "pastaskruer" (pasta screws, I used fusilli), strips of cooked ham, and cooked bacon. That goes in a baking pan and whipping cream is poured in. Then shredded mozzarella is spread over the top. The whole mess is baked for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melting and somewhat brown.
We had a salad to go with that. It was very filling. It wasn't bad, but we weren't crazy about it. I might give it another chance with some other kind of meat than ham. It should preferably be meat that will be pink when it's fully cooked.
