Korv Stroganoff — Swedish Sausage Stroganoff

Ingredients

• 1 lb Sausage, in batons
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dijon
• 1 cup cream
• ½ cup stock or water
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp paprika
• Rice, to serve

Method

1. Brown the Sausage batons in the butter until caramelized at the edges, 5 minutes; add the onion for 3 more.
2. Fry the tomato paste and paprika in the pan for 90 seconds — darkened paste is the flavor keel of the sauce.
3. Add the cream, stock, and dijon and simmer 8 minutes until the sauce turns dusky pink and coats a spoon.
4. Season with salt and pepper — assertively; cream mutes.
5. Serve over rice. Every Swedish school cafeteria serves this; every Swedish adult still orders it. Nostalgia, but make it dinner.
