How to Make Alaskan Blue Stew
- Cut 5 lbs of whale meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Dust the whale meat with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
- Brown the whale meat in 3 tablespoons of hot olive oil in a very large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Add 2 large onions, chopped; 2 lbs carrots, chopped; 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed; and 1 cup celery, chopped. Sauté until vegetables are translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add 8 cups of water to cover the meat and vegetables.
- Add 1 tablespoon MSG (optional), 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to taste.
- Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the meat is very tender. This may take approximately 6-8 hours depending on your stove and the type of whale meat.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot with crusty French bread and a fresh green salad.
- Serves approximately 12 (adjust ingredient quantities as needed for more servings).
