How to Make Amager Island Stew Amagergryde

  1. Dice the 250g ham or pork belly into small, even squares.
  2. Peel and dice the 500g potatoes into similarly sized squares.
  3. In a large Dutch oven, combine the diced ham/pork and potatoes. Add 500ml of water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are almost tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  4. Add the 150g frozen peas and 100g diced carrots to the stew.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk the butter-flour mixture into the simmering stew. Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
  7. Bring the stew back to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley before serving.
