Flygande Jacob (Flying Jacob)

Think it’s all clean eating and pickled fish? Think again. All Scandinavian countries have their sinful dishes – and most of these belong to Sweden. Back in the Seventies, the dish was invented by a man called Ove Jacobsson who worked in the air freight industry. Flying Jacob (Swedish: Flygande Jacob) is a Swedish casserole that consists of chicken, cream, chili sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts, curry and bacon. The dish is cooked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad.

How to Make Flygande Jacob (Flying Jacob)

Step 1

Cook the chicken together with the bacon and onion until the chicken is no longer translucent and beginning to brown (about 10-12 minutes); drain off any excess fat and add the cream; bring to a boil.

Step 2

Reduce heat to a simmer; add curry powder, chili sauce, stock cube and salt and pepper to taste (careful - the stock cube will add salt, too). Gently stir in the sliced bananas and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle over the peanuts and serve over rice. Boom!
