Kjötkássa

Meat stew

I found the recipe for this dish in an old Icelandic cookbook and found it interesting, especially in the fall when it gets cold and uncomfortable outside. Oh, by the way, the word “kássa” means something like “mishmash”.


Ingredients

3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
500 ml meat broth
1 onion
500 g minced meat
1 Tbsp sugar


Preparation

Melt the butter in a large pan.

Add the flour and stir.

Pour in the meat broth in small portions, stirring constantly.

Peel the onion and chop it thoroughly.

Add the minced meat and chopped onion to the broth...

...and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Season with a tablespoon of sugar.

Kjötkássa is traditionally served with boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes.
