Korv stroganoff
Korv Stroganoff is a popular Swedish dish made from sliced sausage (falukorv) cooked in a creamy sauce with onions and often served with rice or pasta. It's a quick, comforting meal that's a staple in many Swedish households.
Ingredients
- 800 g falu korv If you can't find falukorv, any other mild, smoked sausage can be a substitute.
- 300 ml milk
- 200 ml cooking cream
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 white onion finely chopped
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp chilli sauce
- 200 ml chilli and paprika Crème Fraîche or heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp grov mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Dill optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the falukorv or sausage into thin strips or small cubes.
- Chop the onion finely. Heat the oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sausage and cook until it starts to brown. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste, chilli sauce and mustard mixing well to coat the sausage and onions.
- Combine the milk, cooking cream and cream fraiche in a separate bowl.
- Pour in the above cream mixture. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.
- If the sauce is too thin, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water and add to it. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the sausage may already be salty, so taste before adding more salt.
- Serve hot over rice, pasta, or potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or dill if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- White or brown rice complements the creamy sauce well.
- Penne or fusilli are great options that hold the sauce nicely.
- Mashed Potatoes is a classic pairing that adds to the comfort food vibe.
