Potatis Moose is mashed potatoes. That is not what we had, just my bad Swedish. Elk with potatoes I wanted to say. I lost the word for Elk.
The Elk joint was provided by Aki frozen, and transported by motorcycle, by me, all the way back to Roland's place in Habo Lan. Roland cooked. He has done moose before. I watched, learnt, and ate. It was surprisingly similar to my Roast Reindeer recipe last week.
Take a joint of Elk(this was maybe 0.8 kilos) meat and sear on all sides in a heavy hot pan with butter. When deeply coloured all over add 0.1L of beer, and 0.1L of water, salt and pepper and some whole onions to soften in the juices. The Elk cooks over a low heat for 2 hours. If you like it pink, take a little time off. Soak fresh chanterelle mushrooms in water then fry gently in butter. Ready boiled new potatoes are also cooked in butter. Take out the meat and carve. Add a little flour to the beery juices to thicken. Then add cream. Plate up the sliced meat with chanterelles on top, cream and beer saucee and finally butter potatoes on the side.
A bottle of Tempranillo reserve from Catalonia and the job is done. We live well in the forest!
So you skip breakfasts and eat loads of saturated fat and red meat. And then you say your energy levels are down :( AT
ReplyDeleteEek! I lost the plot (never had it in the first place). I'll rebalance with an icecream at Hjo Harbour this afternoon maybe.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of sorting out to do when I get home. Diet and exercise.
