Gluten-free
I've heard about Shrove Sunday for years. I remember my mother always supporting the Sanitetsforeningen, nice older ladies who stood around selling Shrove rice. She thought it was so nice to bring some color into the house when it was so cold and white everywhere, now I'm talking about several decades ago. Picking and decorating is done by volunteers and the collection goes to the elderly and sick. The tradition started in 1946 and annually about 7 million kroner is collected for the purpose.

Today I will teach you a gluten-free variant that is both filling and tastes very good. For even more flavor, garlic can be added depending on what the side dish is. My side dish is already flavorful and strong, so I will drop it.
