Brændende kærlighed is a traditional danish meal. Directly translated brændende kærlighed means “burning love”, which both can refer to strong and intense love but also love in crisis – the love is burning. Whether the recipe refers to that feeling, or a Danish movie by the same name or a house plant also using the name is unknown.

Without meat – the vegetarian variant of brændende kærlighed

It may sound strange to your ears, but I have tried it and it tastes great. Here, all the bacon is replaced with mushrooms and carrots. The court may season with coarse-grained mustard, which gives extra bite to the meal.

Also, see other traditional danish recipes like pariserbøf and frikadeller here.
