Erken's leftovers recipe for boiled or fried meat, typical of everyday food in large households where the meat was stretched with brown beans and brown sauce.
Cut up the meat
Cut the boiled or fried meat into small squares, and cut the pork fat into cubes.
Brown meat and onion
Brown the meat together with the cut-up onion in butter or fat.
Boil the sauce
Bring the brown sauce to a boil and add the browned meat and pork fat.
Add the beans
Add the ready-cooked brown beans and let the dish simmer gently in the sauce for half an hour.
Season
Season to taste with clove, pepper, vinegar, and sugar.
Quantities are given in modern units (g, l, dl). "Fat" is interpreted as lard or neutral cooking fat. Seasonings are given with guideline amounts since the original only says "to taste."
