Flying Jacob

Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Flying Jacob is a Swedish casserole of chicken, bananas, roasted peanuts and bacon, bound with cream and chili sauce and baked in the oven, usually served with rice and salad. It was invented in 1976 by Ove Jacobsson, who worked in air freight, for a summer potluck gathering, combining leftover ingredients into the unusual mix; the dish's name references his work in aviation. His neighbor Anders Tunberg, who worked for a Swedish cooking magazine, published the recipe that same year, which established the dish as a recognized part of Swedish home cooking.
