Cook Time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs. Carrots
  • 0.333333 pcs. Celery
  • 2 pcs. Parsnip
  • 1 pcs. Onion
  • 300 gram Water Can be replaced with stock
  • 50 gram Cream
  • 15 gram Butter Can be replaced with oil
  • Spices Salt, pepper, vinegar, and lemon juice

Instructions

  • Our version is made in conjunction with a simmered dish. That is, root vegetables are boiled/steamed until tender in either a pot, an ovenproof dish, or a roasting pan together with a meat dish. 
  • The meat, possibly marrow bones, and the "soup vegetables" for the stock/sauce are placed at the bottom of the ovenproof dish and seared at 225 degrees Celsius (437 degrees Fahrenheit) (fan-forced) for 10 minutes in the oven. The dish is taken out and the temperature is lowered to 150 degrees Celsius (302 degrees Fahrenheit) (conventional). Add stock/water to the meat, cover the dish with foil, and put it back in the oven.
  • After 1.5 hours, the root vegetables should be cut into smaller pieces and placed in the stock in the dish. Cover again and cook for at least 1 hour at 150 degrees Celsius (302 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Root Vegetables
  • Take the root vegetables and a little bit of the stock from the dish and put them in a thick-bottomed pot. They should be mashed (either with an electric beater or a potato masher) while adding cream, butter, salt, and pepper.
  • Add a little milk if the consistency is still too thick.
  • Finally, season to taste with lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  • The dish is ready to serve.
