Recipes with Falukorv

Sweden's answer to beef stroganoff, except cheaper and faster. Falukorv cubes replace the beef, simmered in a sauce of tomato paste, cream, and a splash of soy sauce (the secret Swedish ingredient). Served over rice. This is the dish that kept Swedish students alive through university. It costs almost nothing and feeds a crowd.

Ingredients

  • 500g falukorv, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 200ml cream
  • 100ml water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Rice for serving

Steps

1

Cook rice according to package instructions. Keep warm.

2

Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Fry the onion until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Add the falukorv cubes. Fry 3-4 minutes until they pick up some color on the edges.

4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add cream, water, and soy sauce. Stir well.

5

Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over rice.

Tips

The soy sauce is not optional. It adds a depth that tomato paste alone cannot deliver. Some families add a teaspoon of paprika or a pinch of cayenne. Leftovers reheat well the next day.
