公婆來Austin過節,笨媳婦特意煮了一桌丹麥菜給他們接風。第一次挑戰北歐菜。傳統丹麥菜樸素實惠,就是農家菜的風味,有些接近東歐菜,有些又受殖民地或者移民影響,加入了異國風情。總之選的這幾個菜都蠻受我們一家大小的喜愛,不過公婆猜了很久都猜不出國家,最後還是由小朋友告訴爺爺奶奶。

咖喱肉丸Danish Meatballs In Curry Sauce
當天的頭牌,超好吃的喔!
Meatball:
12 oz of ground meat
1/3 cup of milk
1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1egg
1tbsp onion
Curry sauce:
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup onion
2 tbsp curry
1 cup grated apple
2 tbsp flour
1/2 cup cream
The meat balls
Bring 1 liter light chicken stock to a boil.
Shape the mince mixture into balls on your palm using a spoon. They should be approx. the size of walnuts.
Boil them in the stock until they float, and then take them out of the stock and put them aside in a bowl.
The sauce
Heat butter in the now empty stock pan, add onion and toast the curry in the butter, be careful not to burn it. Add the flour and toast it for 1-2 minutes. It should be viscous but liquid, so add more oil if there is not enough.
Add apple, the stock from the meatballs and the cream. Let it thicken. When the sauce has thickened then add the meatballs. Season with salt and pepper.
Once the sauce starts simmering it is ready to serve. but you can also let it simmer slightly until it is time to serve. They tolerate a bit of simmering well.
Serve with rice and apple slices.

蜜汁馬鈴薯 Caramelized Potatoes
這個菜是另一個當天最受歡迎的菜。有點麻煩,要用小火燒烤,不時翻翻,足足翻炒了三十分鍾。婆婆說都吃不出來土豆味兒了。
