Moving on to Denmark now! Back in 2010 I made Danish Pastries which were lovely but I'm keen to try some more Danish delicacies.
Stegt Flaesk translates as Fried Belly Pork and is Denmark's national dish. It is usually served with boiled potatoes and a white parsley sauce so we're having the works.
Ingredients:
Belly pork strips
Potatoes
Parsley
Butter
Flour
Milk
Salt & pepper
Cut up your potatoes into bite size pieces and boil in some salted water.
Season the pork belly strips with salt and pepper then fry them in oil in a frying pan.
To make the white sauce, melt a tablespoon of butter in a pan. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and stir until combined. Add a cup of milk a bit at a time stirring well constantly until a thick sauce is made. Add a handful of chopped parsley.
The belly pork is ready when it's crisp on the edges and a golden brown colour.
This dish is simple but delicious. The only seasonings are salt and pepper but it's still really tasty. JD and I both thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal. The parsley sauce was great on the potatoes. The belly pork was mouth-wateringly crisped making each bite full of soft fat, chewy meat and crunchy skin. This is definitely one of our all-time favourites. Good work, Denmark!
