Love that!

Right now.... I'm healing. Broke my foot a week ago. So I'm eating what one of our wonderful sisters made for me... chicken and dumplings

I made chicken and rutabaga.  Sorry no photo.   haha

Please for a photo. This thread would be dry without pictures.

Today, I am making fårikål.

 

This was once voted Norway's national dish. Have I written about this one before?

 

Very easy recipe:

2 kg lamb pieces with bone and flesh

2 kg cabbage in chunks.

400 ml water

3 teaspoons whole black pepper

2-3 ts salt

(Two-three drizzles of wheat flour)

 

Served with potatoes, boiled separately.

 

You need a pot that is approx 5L or bigger.

 

Layer lamb and cabbage alternating. Salt/pepper(/flour) between layers.

 

Add (heated) water. Bring to boil, and then let simmer for 4 hours. Check/"stir" after a couple of hours.

 

Serve with potatoes. Do NOT cook the potatoes in the same pot, it will steal all the flavour.

 

This is a dish that is better the next day

 

Very easy to make, takes time (but little effort) to cook. Exercise patience.

4 hours? I can't conceive making any dish that would take more than 1 hour to cook.

I take it you haven't used a slow cooker? Low and slow bring out flavor as well as tenderness, unless you use pressure. I make bone broth, I've cooked it for up to 24 hours.

Ive made bone broth and when some of the friends had COVID, given it to them. It's very good for you.

I use broth in so many things. I also use it for homemade dog food. She laps it up.

Question for you folks. I'm looking on Pintetest to find a recipe for fried egg rolls. I'd like to make pork or chicken. I found a few but being a novice I'd like to hear from you folks who've made them, successfully (😄). 

My grandgirl said she'd like to make a bunch and freeze them, she has stomach issues and this is something she can eat that doesn't hurt so I'd love to learn so I can teach her.

Ok, answered my own question today. I got up the nerve to make them. Pork, cabbage, julienne carrot and onion. I was afraid of the rice wrappers so I opted for the wheat ones. It went well. Next time I'll get brave and do the rice. I made a wonderfully smooth keto sweet n sour dipping sauce, its better than any commercially prepared sauce ever.

These were 2 recipes I found on Pinterest, anyone wants them just ask.

Sweet n sour and a whole batch of egg rolls. It took a pound and a half of pork (sausage), 1 head of napa cabbage and 3 carrots. What a bargain.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or Tamari
• 1/4 cup water or pineapple juice
• 1 clove garlic minced (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger (optional)

 

I filtered out the garlic and ginger, didn't want chunks in it. and I used keto brown sugar instead of regular sugar.

If this has been covered, my apologies. Has anyone ever had a butter burger? 

 

 

[CHecker]

Yes I have. I learned this from an older gentleman when I was 16 and working in a restaurant. It's delish.

You can, should, do this with a steak too. A chef I know grills the steak to a nice rare then puts it in a sauce pan with a blob of butter for 5 minutes. Best steak ever!

[truce]

I skipped breakfast and it's getting past lunch time (2:02 pm here). I'm preparing a special rice and beans combo that I hardly ever get to cook (maybe every other month or so, but love it so much.)

[CHecker]

I remember how you love that dish, once during family worship you were enjoying a bowl full 😃.

I had 2 couples join me for dinner last night. Because we all have different ways of eating I made baked potatoes with a big assortment of toppings so all could choose for themselves. Lovely evening, swapped stories and recipes as 2 of them were Norwegian.

Yeah, that was jollof rice. Same dish today but with a sprinkling of beans. 

[CHecker]

Oh ya, that's right. I still have a few of those recipes saved in Pinterest, as well as  a few other dishes that looked good🙂

 We make them at home but my husband would take three pats frozen butter and seal them between two seasoned HB patties pressing the edges of the HB patties all tgr way around. He used Hellmans mayo or homemade mayo to toast the buns and would spoon butter and worchestershire over patties as they cooked. I liked the tomato thin sliced and crisp lettuce on mine while he just had meat and cheese.
