About the dish

A quick entree from "Stor kokebok" (1914) that uses leftover cooked ham. Erken lets the cook choose whether the sauce should be light (butter merely melted) or dark (butter browned with the flour), and the dish is served in scallop shells or croustades.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Make the sauce

    Melt the butter and stir in the flour. The sauce can be made light or dark, as you like — brown the butter and flour a little for a darker sauce.

  2. 2

    Thin

    Thin gradually with the meat stock and let the sauce come to a boil.

  3. 3

    Add the filling

    Add the cooked, finely cut ham, the cooked peas, and the celeriac, and add the sherry, pepper, and finely chopped parsley. Warm through well.

  4. 4

    Serving

    Serve in scallop shells or croustades.
