Stewed Green PeasTraditional Norwegian Grønnerterstuing made with the Nutritious Legumes, Dried Green Peas.
Green peas are legumes and are very good for us. Gronnerterstuing is often served with the traditional Norwegian seafood, Guess what? Lutefisk, but it is most often served as a side dish with roast beef, meatballs, pork roast, and lamb. Green peas are very nutritious - and when you use them dried to make stewed green peas, they are super delicious. I believe, that in Norway, grønnerterstuing is almost always served with meatballs and cranberries (kjøttkaker og tyttebær) - it is always crammed full of deliciousness. Something is missing if the stewed green peas are not on the table along with meatballs in brown gravy. (kjøttkaker i brun saus). Find our Family Recipe here: Ingredients:
Preparation:
Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a soft boil and turn the heat down to simmer. Cover the pan and simmer until soft. Remove the lid, stir while adding water if needed. Stir and mash green peas. Add butter and sugar to taste and you are ready to serve the Stewed Green Peas. My family adds butter and sugar, some people don't. Perhaps you could try both methods to see which one you like the best? We should all include more legumes in our diet. Legumes are lean and loaded with nutrition. God Middag! This is a Norwegian greeting used before eating your dinner. The translation is Enjoy Dinner or as it is said in French, Bon Appetite!
