Beurre manié *
A classic recipe used to
thicken sauces and gravies.
2 tablespoons soft butter
1/4 cup flour
*Beurre manié:
Beurre manié is a dough consisting of equal parts of soft butter and flour, used to thicken soups and sauces. By kneading the flour and butter together, the flour particles are coated in butter. When the beurre manié is whisked into a hot or warm liquid, the butter melts, releasing the flour particles without creating lumps. (Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Combine butter and flour in a small bowl. Mix until well blended. Roll mixture into small balls.
Add balls to softly boiling liquid, one by one while stirring constantly with a whisk. Add as many balls as needed for desired thickness.
To Serve:
Place roast onto a serving platter. Garnish with mushrooms, prunes, and olives. Gravy is usually served separately in a gravy boat, but some can be poured over roast.
Mashed potatoes go very well with this pot roast, as well as plenty of green and steamed vegetables and whole berry cranberry sauce (tytteber in Norwegian)
