温暖实惠的丹麦菜给公婆接风

公婆来Austin过节，笨媳妇特意煮了一桌丹麦菜给他们接风。第一次挑战北欧菜。传统丹麦菜朴素实惠，就是农家菜的风味，有些接近东欧菜，有些又受殖民地或者移民影响，加入了异国风情。总之选的这几个菜都蛮受我们一家大小的喜爱，不过公婆猜了很久都猜不出国家，最后还是由小朋友告诉爷爷奶奶。

咖喱肉丸Danish Meatballs In Curry Sauce

当天的头牌，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.

蜜汁马铃薯 Caramelized Potatoes

这个菜是另一个当天最受欢迎的菜。有点麻烦，要用小火烧烤，不时翻翻，足足翻炒了三十分钟。婆婆说都吃不出来土豆味儿了。
