Steps:
- Put the veal in a kettle and add the water to barely cover. Partly cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Let simmer 10 minutes, skimming the surface often to remove all fat and scum.
- Add salt, peppercorns, celery, carrots and onion. Cover tightly and let simmer 40 to 45 minutes or until meat is tender. Remove from the heat and let stand, uncovered, until ready to serve.
- Transfer the meat to a warm platter. Strain the cooking liquid; there should be about six cups. Discard solids. Reserve 2 1/2 cups of liquid for the sauce; the remaining liquid may be used for soups or other sauces, if desired.
- Heat the butter in a large saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended, add the reserved 2 1/2 cups of cooking liquid, stirring rapidly with the whisk.
- Add the sweet and sour dill sauce and the cream to the sauce. Stir in the dill and serve the sauce with the hot sliced veal.

DILL-MEAT (BOILED MEAT WITH DILL SAUCE)
Dill-Meat is an old and tradition-bound dish in Sweden. This recipe comes from one of Sweden's great chefs, Leif Mannerström. It's his recipe, I only translated it into English. Normally it is made of veal or lamb, but pork is good too. As you cook the meat for quite some time, you can to use a part of the animal which normally...

Steps:
- 1. Peel and cut the onion into coarse pieces. Clean and cut the leek in oblique pieces.
- 2. Peel and cut carrots and parsnips in oblique pieces
- 3. Place the meat in cold water in a large pot and bring to boil.
- 4. Boil 1 minute maximum. Take up the meat with a slotted spoon and rinse it briefly.
- 5. Clean the pot and cook the meat in fresh water (remember that there will be space for the vegetables too). Measure how much water you pour in.
- 6. Add salt, start with 1 teaspoon per liter of water and taste of saltiness later.
- 7. When the meat has begin to boil, add the onion, vegetables, dill stalks and spices and let simmer for a maximum of 1 hour.
- 8. If you have bones in your meat, the meat is ready when it detaches from the bone, otherwise you can test it by poking with a fork or a knife.
- 9. After half an hour, pick up the carrots and parsnip with a slotted spoon. Save them, they will be used again when serving.
- 10. If the meat should be served the same day you can add 15 minutes of cooking time.
- 11. If it is to be served the day after, you let it cool in its own juice.
- 12. Take the meat out of the broth and skim the broth - it will be used for the sauce.
- 13. Cold broth is easy to skim, if it is warm the fat will float around.
- 14. But try anyway.
- 15. If you have cooked the meat the day before, heat it in the broth that is not needed for the sauce.
- 16. Cut the meat into pieces about 2-3 cm. (about 1 inch)
- 17. Chop the dill to the sauce - quite nicely.
- 18. Fry the flour into the butter in a saucepan.
- 19. Dilute with sifted broth and creamy milk.
- 20. Taste the broth, if it is not sufficiently strong in flavor, add 1 or 2 bouillon cubes. The sauce should be right on the border between well thickened and thick.
- 21. Start the flavoring with 1 tablespoon vinegar and 2 tablespoons sugar. Taste so that it's just the right balance between sweet and sour.
- 22. Season with salt and pepper.
- 23. If you need more acidity insert very little vinegar. Be careful.
- 24. When you find a good balance, turn/stir down the dill.
- 25. It shall be plenty of dill.
- 26. Now add the meat in to the sauce along with the saved vegetables (from the cocking of meat) and let everything be well heated.
- 27. Serve steaming hot with potatoes (boiled potatoes).
- 28. Tip Dill is practically the only spice that one can not take too much of. Dill sauce, for example, tastes dill whether you use one bundle or three, but the taste is much more marked if you are generous with the dill.
- 29. Chef Leif Mannerström wrote: When it comes Dill-meat is actually the sauce that plays the main role. To cook the meat so that it becomes good is after all not so difficult. To the boiled veal or lamb with dill sauce, you can cook the meat the day before, so that you can concentrate on the sauce. I find it hard to think of drinking anything other than beer or mineral water to Dill-meat. / Leif
- 30. The following tip are mine Serving tip: It is nice to eat a salad with tomato, cucumber, shredded carrots and chard leaves togheter with Dill-Meat. In this picture the meat is pork.
- 31. If you have meat on the bone, calculate the double weight. The bone will give the broth more taste. If you cut the meat before cooking, cut a not too small pieces - they will shrink. If you cut the meat before cooking it will speed up the process a bit and the meat will easily absorbe more flavor from the spices.
- 32. There are many different recipes for this dish. Some uses lemon togheter with the vinegar, some dont have vegetables in, some dont have all the spices. So, if you don like a spice or two - then dont use it. A little bit of lemon in the sauce will ad some freshness. You can take almoste any meat, beaf, veal, moose, lamb, chicken, deer ... you name it. But dont use the good and expensive part (for example fillet) that is overkill. A tough meat that cooks for a long time will be better - and cheaper. You can use tried dill, it is ok. Frozen dill is perfect if you dont have fresh. Good Luck

CHICKEN FRICASSéE WITH CREAMY SWEET-AND-SOUR DILL SAUCE
Steps:
- Bring water with chicken to a boil in a wide 6-quart heavy pot, skimming froth. Add thyme sprigs, bay leaf, peppercorns, and 1 teaspoon salt, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
- While chicken simmers, peel carrots and parsnips, then cut each carrot and parsnip crosswise into 3 equal lengths. Halve or quarter thicker pieces lengthwise so pieces are roughly the same size. Add to chicken along with onion, celery, and garlic and simmer, uncovered, until parsnips are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Transfer carrots and parsnips with a slotted spoon to a large bowl, then continue to simmer chicken until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer chicken with tongs to a bowl, then pour broth through a sieve into another large bowl. Let chicken and broth cool, uncovered, 15 minutes.
- Chill broth, uncovered, until fat rises to top and solidifies, about 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, tear chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding skin, bones, and remaining solids in sieve. Chill chicken with carrots and parsnips, covered, about 4 hours.
- Remove and reserve 1/4 cup solidified fat from stock. (If you have less than 1/4 cup fat, add butter.) Melt fat in a wide 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, then add flour and cook roux, stirring constantly, 3 minutes (do not brown). Stir in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat slightly and simmer briskly, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, 30 to 50 minutes. Add milk and cream, then simmer until reduced to about 3 1/2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in chicken with vegetables, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and vinegar and sugar to taste and cook, stirring gently (avoid breaking up vegetables), until heated through. Stir in dill.

Steps:
- Put the veal in a broad skillet over high heat; sear, undisturbed, for about 4 minutes, or until the underside is nicely browned (don't worry if not all of the pieces brown). Stir, then add the shallots and potatoes. Cook for another couple of minutes, then add salt, pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of water.
