Want some food inspiration from Norway? I cook up a Norwegian Classic: Kjøttkaker i brun saus, meatballs (meat cakes) in a brown gravy. See how to do it and find the recipe below.
Find lingonberry jam here: amzn.to/3C5GFY1
Recipe Kjøttkaker i brun saus - Meatballs in a brown gravy (2-3 persons)
Meatballs/Kjøttkaker
400 grams or 14.1 ounces beef minced meat
1 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon pepper
0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons potato flour/starch
0.6 cups water or milk (I used water)
Brown sauce/Brun saus
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons wheat flour
4.25 cups broth (meat broth cube, or real broth)
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon pepper
Mushy peas/Ertestuing
1 package of frozen peas 400 grams or 14.1 ounces
0.4 cup meat broth ( made with meat broth cube)
1 tablespoon butter
0.25 teaspoon pepper
Use lingonberry jam, but cranberries also work nicely.
Hard boiled potatoes (plenty)
Enjoy!

Hei hei, I hope you enjoy this recipe. If you are interested in taking it a step further you can add chopped ginger to the meat cakes, and put some brown cheese in the gravy. Lykke til! Good luck!

Thank you Pal. I am American born and of Norwegian descent and I've been making this recipe for the past two years as a part of my family's Samhain celebration, in honor of my ancestors. It has become a family favorite. I'll be making it again next week. I hope to come to Norway some day, step foot on the land my family came from and explore Norwegian dishes like this in their place of origin.

My grandfather immigrated to the United States just before the turn of the 20th century. He came from Senja island, Norway. All cultural knowledge was lost because he wanted to become 100% American. He taught himself to speak English flawlessly and without an accent. I wish I knew more about what town he was from and so on and so on but he died in 1945 and is buried in Portland Oregon. His name was Hans Simon Wold. I’ll have to make this recipe in his honor.

@norwaywithpal 2 жыл бұрын

Hei Mary, I think the story of your grandfather is similar to many others who immigrated. They wanted to adapt to a new culture, and leave their old one behind. If you know his birth date and also where in Norway he was born there is a good chance you can track him down. All church books, and records are available online at the Norwegian digital archive: www.digitalarkivet.no/en/

@maryvalentine9090 2 жыл бұрын

@@norwaywithpal I know his birthdate and I know that he was born on Senja. I don’t know what the name of the town was or what church “parish” he was affiliated with or anything. I know they were fisherman. I know my great grandfather‘s name and my great grandmother‘s name but I just don’t know where to begin because I don’t know what the name of the town was where he came from. Grandpa immigrated first and eventually his parents and siblings also immigrated. I don’t know what the situation was like for them in Norway but something motivated them to pull up stakes and make for the New World. Incredible. I knew his little sister, my aunt Lizzie, whose full name was Elise Magdalene Wold. It wasn’t until long after I was an adult that I realized that she was my great aunt and that she was actually from Norway. My grandfather was apparently a very interesting man. Not only did he teach himself to read, write and speak English fluently, he also taught himself to read and write Greek so that he could study to become a minister. Of course he was Lutheran when he came to the US, but while working as a wheat thrasher in Nebraska, He had a profound spiritual spiritual experience with some Baptists and changed his denomination to Baptist. Hans Wold was the first ordained Baptist minister in Tripp County South Dakota when South Dakota was still just a territory. My dad, Roland Wold, told me that grandpa had a black Hambletonian horse named Midnight that he hooked up to a buggy and rode a preaching circuit across the territory to preach the Gospel of Christ to people in those remote wilderness areas. Sometime after the turn of the century, and I’m not sure what motivated them, the family moved to the West Coast, to Oregon. At one point I discovered that his father and his mother and his little sister Elise were registered in a census taken in 1908 in Albany Oregon. They eventually, sometime or another ended up in Portland which is a ways north of Albany near the Washington border.

@@maryvalentine9090Thanks for sharing these stories about your family ancestry! I have done a lot of genealogy, and it is very time consuming, but can be very rewarding. Senja is not a big place, and compared to for instance Oslo there are probably not many parishes, so one just have to go systematically through it, parish by parish. That is what I have done with some of my ancestors. Sometimes I've had luck, and other times not. Btw.. the Wold name might have been changed from Vold. try this: www.digitalarkivet.no/en/search/persons/advanced churchbooks: media.digitalarkivet.no/en/kb/browse what was your grandfathers name and birth date?

I think that looks absolutely great! Total ‘comfort food’ I am not sure what potato flour is, but maybe I can use ground up instant potato flakes. Tip: To make gravy easy to make, I take the flour and make a batter out of it first; maybe 40ml flour mixed very well into 100-110ml water, milk or cream in its own cup. When it is time to add it to the pan drippings, I will make sure the pan drippings are hot, and begin stirring. Then I pour the flour mixture through a screen directly into the pan drippings and keep stirring. It thickens quickly, and you can stop adding the flour mixture when you think the gravy is thick enough. That method really takes away the chances of lumps, and also reduces the wear on the Teflon coating from the wire whisk.

Looks like a nice dish (I have eaten it in Northern Norway). Actually it's served just the way we eat meatballs here in Sweden, with exception of the mushed peas. The gravy and lingonberry jam are essential. With that said - and I might be just a wee bit biased - nothing can compare to Swedish meatballs! There's of course a reason why our meatballs are famous in most parts of the world. Unnskyld, söte bror! 😉

I made this the other day and it was delicious! I'm repeating today, and rather than watch the video five times again this time, I loosely transcribed the recipe (in case anyone else wants to make the recipe and wants it written down): Norwegian meatballs Serve with hard boiled potatoes and mushy peas, brown gravy, and lingonberry jam (recipe for potatoes not included) Meatballs Place ground beef in bowl with salt, potato flour, and fresh ground pepper, plus ground nutmeg. Add water gradually and work together into a smooth dough. Can use a food processor or hands. Dip spoon in water so meat won’t stick to it; start shaping meatballs with spoon. Not aiming for perfect golfballs; imperfectly round shapes are ok. 400 g meat = 7 meatballs (typical). Heat up butter on medium heat in frying pan . Move meatballs gently to the pan . Fry them for a few minutes and flip over now and then. When ready, will look lightly browned. Make brown gravy: Use same pan as meatballs Add butter; let it melt Add wheat flour and stir well so no chunks Keep stirring so it does not burn It’s important that butter and wheat flour gets a nice nutty brown flour, or you will have a white gravy instead of a brown gravy. Add broth to pan while stirring around. Let it heat up, then pour it into a pot. Add salt and pepper. Add meatballs to gravy: Then take meatballs and put them into the gravy. Simmer for 10 minutes while stirring now and then. Mushy peas: Small amount of broth in a pot; add the peas and some butter. Let it boil for a few minutes. Use a mixer to make pea stew. Serve together with lingonberry jam on the side.

Also, I modified the ingredients list so it will play nicely with a US-based cooking app such as Paprika for increasing the number of servings, etc (as they won't recognize the commas instead of periods, and a few other measurements that are difficult to measure with the measuring instruments mostly found in US kitchens): Meatballs/Kjøttkaker 400 grams or 14.1 ounces beef minced meat 1 teaspoon salt 0.25 teaspoon pepper 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg 2 tablespoons potato flour/starch 0.6 cups water or milk (I used water) Brown sauce/Brun saus 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons wheat flour 4.25 cups broth (meat broth cube, or real broth) 0.5 teaspoon salt 0.25 teaspoon pepper Mushy peas/Ertestuing 1 package of frozen peas 400 grams or 14.1 ounces 0.4 cup meat broth ( made with meat broth cube) 1 tablespoon butter 0.25 teaspoon pepper Use lingonberry jam, but cranberries also work nicely. Hard boiled potatoes (plenty)

Well I guess I know what I'll be making! I've actually have never heard of hard boiled potatoes, only boiled potatoes. :) We have been having Swedish meatballs each Christmas but maybe this year we should try the better meat cakes!

@norwaywithpal 3 жыл бұрын

Hard boiled potatoes is a term we use here about potatoes that are good for boiling without falling apart. But I realize I might invented a whole new cooking term for the English language :P Swedish meatballs are so 2020, 2021 should clearly be the better meat cakes ;)

My partner, Gunnar, is from Kristiansand, he says the spice in the kjøttkaker should be allspice, and he does the allspice berries in a mortar and pestle, but quite honestly, I don't taste the allspice at all. When I ,make fiskekaker (or pudding, or balls) I definitely use fresh grated nutmeg! I'm going to enjoy your page.

@norwaywithpal 2 жыл бұрын

Hei Arthur, allspice might be some local way of doing it in Kristiansand... Here in the Oslo area and eastern part of Norway, it's usually fresh grated nutmeg :) Thanks for watching the episode!

Thanks Pål for the recipe. This was a wonderful meal, somehow the meatballs become very soft. Do have you tips to prevent that? Is it perhaps to much water in the meatballs? (1.5dl)

@norwaywithpal 2 жыл бұрын

Hei Chris! Great to hear you tried out the recipe. With 400 grams of meat, 1,5 dl should be about right. But some meat producers inject water into the meat, so maybe the meat you used already was a bit watery. Just me speculating though. Try reduce the amount of water and/or add a bit more potato flour. The meat cakes are supposed to be a bit soft though, softer than Swedish meatballs for instance, but they should of course not fall apart, and not feel watery. I hope that helps :)

I miss my grandmothers køttkaker. But she never served brown gravy to the. She served with fried onions in “sky” I don’t know the English nor the Norwegian word for “sky” maybe it’s the same in Norwegian as in Swedish. She fried onions and køttkaker, always in real butter, in a skillet and than “boiled” it for a long time in the oven. When it comes to which meatballs that’s best between the Norwegian or the Swedish. I must say sorry.... to all Swedes but the Norwegian is best, at least the one my grandma made. 🇳🇴

@norwaywithpal 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there, sky = sjysaus, and the way your grandmother did it is quite traditional (and very tasty with the onion). Always real butter for sure! And you are completely right about Norwegian kjøttkaker being the best ;) Thanks for watching the video!
