About the dish

Aubin er en sparsommelig resterett: oppskåret stekt eller kokt kjøtt i krydret sherrysaus under et lokk av potetmos, gratinert i ovnen. En norsk slektning av den engelske «cottage pie», typisk for husholdningsøkonomien i Erken & Caroline Steens tid.

How to make it

1
Make the sauce
Brown the butter, stir in the flour and thin little by little with the meat stock. Bring to a boil.
2
Add the meat
Add the finely cut meat (leftovers of all kinds of roasted or boiled meat) and cayenne. Bring to a boil again, add sherry and salt to taste. Fill the mixture into a mould.
3
Make the potato topping
Rub the cooked, cold potatoes through a sieve. Stir in melted butter, potato starch, salt and the eggs, and work it all well together.
4
Add the topping and bake
Place the mashed potato as a lid over the meat in the mould. Bake in the oven for ½ hour and serve in the mould.
