❄️🍲Soothing Winter Stew❄️🍲

This is a classic dish, some of you may better know as Labskovs but there's heaps of variations of it! It's a winter favorite for me and always cook tons of it; it's better shared and honestly is one of those recipes that's always better the next day! 🤎 It can be easily adjusted to whatever leftovers you have around(meat, veggies, portions, etc.). For my own practice, I often take the act of making it and make that an offering to Hel and when the stew is done it's an offer to Loki's family, landvættir, and make it a community meal. Do what you please with it and I do hope you enjoy my take on the recipe, please share any photos if you make it!

You'll Need:

5lbs of potatoes - russet is preferred, anything that's flowery

2lbs of chuck steak

4 1/2 cups of water

1 large onion or 1 1/2 medium sized ones

1lbs of baby bellas sliced(I often change this out with whatever we have leftover, sometimes carrots, leeks, or cabbage)

6 bay leaves

5 thyme sprigs or 3/4 tsp of dried thyme

whole garlic clove

4tbsp of butter

2tbsp of pepper

1tbsp of coarse salt

a dutch oven or large sauce pan

To garnish:

6tbsp of chopped chives

Sauerkraut or pickled beets

loaf of bread on the side - we tend to favor potato or rye

To cook:

Heat 2tbsp of the butter in your pan at medium heat. While the pan is warming cut the steak into one inch cubes.

Add the steak to the butter and and brown slightly. Then immediately add the water and gradually bring the water to a boil. [Skim all the froth off the service].

Add the onions, mushrooms, whatever vegetables you chose, bay, thyme, cloves, pepper + salt into the pot. Let it simmer for an hour.[Do not let it boil!]

While the stew is simmering, cut(and peel if you want) your potatoes into 1inch cubes. Add them to the pot and let it simmer for another hour or until the meat falls apart easily and is tender.

Drain off the excess water and add the remaining butter to the pot. Stir clockwise until mixed and mashed, but keep the potatoes a little lumpy.

Serve with your garnishes and enjoy! Let it cool before storing in the fridge.

Correspondences:

baby bellas - longevity, intuition, safety, good health + healing(this is a correspondence i use based on the actual healing effect of mushrooms)

bay leaf - purification, clairvoyance + divination, prosperity + strength(the last two I tend to use w/the intention of the whole household or families I'm sharing with)

cabbage(sauerkraut) - ancestral magic + old wisdom(cabbage is supposedly one the oldest vegetables known to man), protection, moon oriented magic

garlic - courage + strength, healing, spell breaking + shielding

pepper - banishing negativity + cleansing(I like to use intent for the hearth because the whole home is smelling like stew in the end), protection

salt - security + protection, healing, purifying

thyme - good fortune + health, courage, happiness, healing
