Swedish Lamb Stew With Dill Sauce Food

SWEDISH MEATBALLS WITH CREAMY DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Spray the baking rack with cooking spray.
• Combine bread crumbs and milk in a large bowl. Allow bread crumbs to soak up the milk for about 10 minutes. Mix in ground beef, ground pork, onion, parsley, celery, egg, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper until combined; mixture will be fairly wet. Shape into 36 meatballs with a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop. Place meatballs on the prepared baking rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 18 minutes.
• While the meatballs are baking, melt butter for sauce in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.
• Remove meatballs from the oven and add to the sauce mixture. Simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream, dill, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

LAMB AND PEAR STEW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Season the meat with salt and pepper.
• In a dutch oven, brown the lamb pieces in olive oil till they form a dark crust. Remove and set aside.
• In the same pan, brown the onions and garlic. Be sure to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Once the onions and garlic and tender and have some color, return the lamb to the pan.
• Make an herb bouquet by tying the thyme, parsley and bay leaf together with cooking twine.
• Add 2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, herb bouquet and enough water to cover. I used 6 cups of water, but this may vary slightly based on the size of your pan.
• Cover and cook in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and add the pears, potatoes and string beans to the pan.
• Cover and cook for an additional hour, or longer if needed, till lamb is very tender and pears, potatoes and beans are cooked through and tender.Remove the meat and lay in a mound in the center of a serving dish. Surround with the vegetables and pears.
• Remove the herb bundle from the sauce. The book suggests thickening the sauce into gravy by ricing one of the potatoes and adding it to the cooking liquid. I tried this, but it was still a bit on the thin side, so instead I added 1 tbsp of corn starch mixed with a little cold water (corn starch wasn't commonly used as a thickener till after this cookbook was published, so this was a slight modernization). I simmered it in the remaining sauce till it thickened into a nice gravy. You can add more cornstarch mixed with water to thicken it further, if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I used lots of pepper!).
• Serve the stew with hot gravy to pour over each serving. Serve.
