Nordic-style kangaroo stew
Dinner last night. I liked it. My son said "I want to eat more, but I'm too full."
Kangaroo (or other game meat, or beef). I used 600g.
Onions, cut into large pieces (halve, then 3x3 or 4x4). I used 2.
Carrots, cut into rings (5-10mm, 1/3"). I used 3.
1-2 tsp crushed/minced garlic.
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp allspice/pimento
Potatoes, cut into chunks. I used 9.
2 tbs mustard
oil for frying
Brown the meat, add onions, carrots, garlic, and fry for a while. Add pepper and allspice. Fry briefly. Add potatoes and water to cover. Bring to boil, and simmer until meat is tender and potatoes are cooked. The corners and edges of the potatoes should be crumbly, but the chunks shouldn't fall apart. Add mustard, and stir. The potato corners/edges with break up, and thicken the sauce. Serve.
We put some aioli on it.
Inspired by the classic Swedish dish "kalops", a beef stew with prominent allspice (also used in other Nordic stews/soups), and a Danish beef-carrot-potato stew with mustard.
