Swede Casserole Recipes

SWEDISH CABBAGE CASSEROLE - KåLPUDDING

Steps:

• In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and lightly fry it, often stirring, for about 5-10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons molasses and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat to medium; cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage is caramelized, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, mix the pound of ground meat, 1 chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 cup heavy cream, 3 tbsp bread crumbs, 4 tbsp water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Add 1/3 of the caramelized cabbage to the meat mixture and mix again to combine.
• Place the meat mixture into a greased 10-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish and top with the remainder of the cabbage. Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven, or until meat is cooked and cabbage turns a beautiful brown color.
• Allow resting 10 minutes before serving. Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and lingonberry preserves.

BEEF & SWEDE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish over a medium-high heat. Fry the onions and celery for a few mins until turning brown. Add the beef and brown all over for 3-4 mins. Pour in the wine, if using, and let it reduce by half. Add the stock and toss in the swede, potatoes, thyme and bay leaf. Season and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat, cover with a lid and leave for 1 hr. If you want to reduce the liquid a little, remove the lid, turn up the heat and cook for a further 10-15 mins or until the sauce has thickened.
• Season to taste and remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Serve with some green veg, if you like.
