NORWEGIAN CULTURE

Ingredients

3 to 4-pound bone-in pork shoulder butt
4 pounds small yellow potatoes
3 medium carrots
1 leek
1 medium rutabaga
1 – 2 parsnips
3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 cups beef broth or beef stock
2 Tbsp. Kitchen Bouquet*

Directions

Chop potatoes, carrots, leek, rutabaga, and parsnips into large chunks. Set aside in a large bowl. Trim most of the visible fat from pork butt, season with salt and pepper. 

Place pork butt into 5-6 quart Dutch Oven and cover with water. Place cover on Dutch Oven and boil for 1 hour. Remove lid and let pork butt cool to the touch.

Remove pork from Dutch Oven and place on cutting board. Drain boiled water from pot, reserving 2 cups. Using a boning or filet knife, remove pork from bone. Cut pork into large bite-sized pieces. 

Return reserved 2 cups boiled water back into the Dutch Oven. Add 2 cups of beef broth/stock. Stir in Kitchen Bouquet. Add potatoes, leeks, rutabaga, and parsnip. Add pork pieces; stir to mix. Cover pot and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes. Stir. Add additional beef broth or water, if needed. Reduce to medium to medium-high heat for additional 10-15 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.

Serve in large bowls. Top with fresh parsley before serving.
