An affordable everyday dish from the meat chapter of "Stor kokebok" (1914): finely shredded cabbage is browned with butter and sugar and arranged around a mound of ground meat that simmers tender together in the pot.
Brown the cabbage
Shred the head of cabbage finely. Brown the butter with the sugar in a pot and brown the cabbage well in it.
Moisten with stock
Pour in 1 dl meat stock.
Add the filling
Spread the cabbage evenly in the pot and make a hollow in the middle. Place the ground meat in the hollow and shape the whole thing as round as possible, so the cabbage covers the meat completely.
Simmer tender
Let the dish simmer gently under a tight lid for about 2 hours.
Serve
Serve with brown sauce.
Units are modernized (grams, dl, teaspoon). "Smaatrækker under lok" is described as gentle, steady simmering under a tight lid. The butter can be replaced with margarine.
