Name: Gravlax with Mustard Sauce
Ingredients: One 2-3 lb. fresh salmon fillet (preferably center piece, skin on); 1 cup salt; 1 cup sugar; 2 tbs. cracked white peppercorns; 3 bunches fresh dill, stems included; 1 tbs. sweet mustard; 1 tsp. French mustard; 2 tsp. sugar; 1 1/2 tbs. white wine vinegar; Salt and pepper; 3/4 cup salad oil; 1/4 cup chopped dill

Chef's Notes:

· Since the salmon in this recipe will be cured, and not cooked by heat, it is essential that you use only fresh, highest quality fish.
· Slice the gravlax as thinly as possible, using the longest, sharpest knife you have. Samuelsson suggests a gentle, gliding motion so that you don't crush the fish.
· When the gravlax has finished curing, cut it into smaller, more manageable pieces, and wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap. The pieces should then be refrigerated or frozen. Gravlax keeps up to 6 days in the refrigerator or up to 2 months in the freezer.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
