I have no idea who Jansson is or how he or she was tempted, and the Jamie Oliver cookbook sheds no light on this. The dish though, is very good. Layers of grated potato sandwiching an onion/garlic/anchovy mix with thyme and lemon zest, double cream and milk slathered over the top follwed by breadcrumbs mixed with thyme and the remaining lemon zest. Baked for 45 minutes and served hot, it's got great texture and taste. The kids however were unimpressed. My son spotted a slice of onion and declared he wouldn't eat it (despite knowing that most of his favourite dishes contain onion) and my daughter gave it a go and said it made her want to vomit. Sadly, this recipe won't be on high rotation in our house.
Jansson's Temptation from Jamie Oliver's book Jamie does Spain, Italy, Sweden, Morocco, Greece, France.
Fantastic recipe!
