NORWEGIAN LABSCOUSE



Norwegian Labscouse image

This is a family favorite. My grandfather started making for my dad when he was a little boy- a Norwegian dish that always pleases the whole family and leaves us begging for more. I realize that it may be confusing that there are no amounts listed. This is a "to taste" recipe. And the amounts are equal if you have a 3 lb roast then you use 3 lbs of potatoes. When mashing them together add milk/pot liquor to your preference of consistency. Also the seasonings you add should be to your taste i.e. garlic, salt, pepper, butter or other spices YOU like. Adapt this recipe to your taste and make it YOUR dish! I am now making amounts for those who are totally confused.

3 lbs corned beef
3 lbs potatoes
1 large onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter
1 cup milk

  • Boil beef with salt and pepper until half way through cooking time.
  • Remove meat. Cut off all the fat and dispose; dice meat into small tiny pieces and put back into pot. i have actually chopped it up a little more in my food processor.
  • Wash, peel, and dice potatoes; add to the pot, continue to low boil until potatoes are done.
  • Be careful not to over cook potatoes.
  • Drain well over a large bowl to reserve juices (pot liquor).
  • In another large bowl mash potatoes and beef together adding milk, butter, and salt and pepper to taste. and making sure all are blended well and you have a smooth texture.
  • If additional liquid is needed, you can use some of the reserved "pot liquor" instead of more milk.
  • **TIP** For breakfast; fry up some like hash and have with eggs.
  • Its great!

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your labskaus will taste. Use fresh vegetables, high-quality beef, and flavorful spices.
  • Don't overcook the beef: The beef in labskaus should be tender, but not overcooked. Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender: The vegetables in labskaus should be tender, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Season the labskaus to taste: Labskaus should be flavorful, but not too salty or spicy. Season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Serve labskaus with your favorite toppings: Labskaus is traditionally served with pickled beets, gherkins, and a fried egg. You can also serve it with other toppings, such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or lingonberries.

Conclusion:

Labskaus is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious labskaus that your family and friends will love.
