Kjötsúpa (Meat Soup)
|
For 4
1.2 kg lamb shoulder or similar meat (some bone is preferable)
2 liters water
250 g carrots
2 sticks of celery
1/2 onion
1/2 leek
Vegetable stock
500 g rutabaga (swede) or turnips if you can't find it
500g potatoes
50g rice
salt & pepper
1 tbl. spoon thyme
Cut most of the fat off the meat if necessary, put it in a pot with water and boil it for a bit, removing the scum that rises to the top.
Dice the onions, carrots, celery, and leek (optionally sautée that shit before) and add to the soup, also add the thyme, stock, and some salt & pepper.
Boil it for 40-ish minutes. Cut the potatoes and rutabaga into medium-sized chunks and add them and the rice to the soup and boil for 20-ish minutes.
Taste the soup and add salt & pepper if necessary. Serve the meat and soup separately or cut the meat into bite sized chunks before adding to the soup.
If using a slow cooker (I recommend that) multiply the cooking time by 3-4. |
Plokkfiskur (Plucked Fish)
|
For 4
400-500 g boiled white fish (haddock or cod preferred)
500 g boiled potatoes
1 onion

salt & pepper
leek or scallion (optional)
cheese (optional)
Chop the onion finely and cut the potatoes into pieces. Melt the butter in a pot, add the onion and cook it on low for about 5 minutes (don't brown it).
Heat the milk in another pot. sprinkle the flour over the onion, mix it and cook it for 1 minute. Slowly add the milk to it while stirring. Afterwards add salt and pepper and let it cook for 5 minutes. Add the fish and stir it together (use a potato masher if you must), then add the potatoes and do the same, then some cheese if you want (something like shredded mozz works).
Serve with chopped leek or scallion and buttered rye bread

Bonus recipe: Merc's breakfast creation
Cut bread into cubes and fry until crispy in butter or margarine, whisk eggs (~2 per piece of bread) and add to the bread, cook it on low heat until it's half cooked with the lid on, add shredded cheese on top and fully cook it, season it with salt, pepper, and parsley (maybe some garlic too).
Optionally add ham, onions, or other stuff that would go with it. | |

I’m fine with the food options but the majority of us are Americans so can we please not use the metric system?! I don’t want to do conversions!!! | "All this from a slice of gabagool?" |

Nice to see the shoe on the other foot, I say we keep it metric. You Americans can't have it your way all the time you know.
When I first came across 'cups' in a recipe I was so confused. I thought it meant I should use a tea cup, and I remember thinking how dumb that was because tea cups come in all different sizes. | |

It's funny because the imperial and metric cup aren't the same.

Your measuring cups should have metric, the stores also use metric, and 500g is about a pound.
There. Plus it doesn't have to be exact. | |

One can not truly call themselves a cook until they can cook with this approach (well, except for baking because that's hard as shit). | |

I voted the Meat Soup option (even though I'm not a lamb person...I'm sure a beef substitute would work just fine).
I'm definitely not a seafood person, so I'll avoid the fish options. | |
