Sausage stroganoff (Swedish: korv Stroganoff or korvstroganoff, Finnish: makkarastroganoff, both lit. 'sausage Stroganoff') is a Swedish dish, orginally based on the Russian dish beef Stroganoff, where the beef is replaced with pieces of sausage and the sauce features a partial tomato base.
It was introduced as a school meal in the 1950s, before spreading to households.
Description
The recipe can be varied, but the base contains chopped-up pieces of sausage, traditionally (but not limited to) Falu Sausage, and chopped yellow onions, often browned (pre-fried), which have been cooked together with a tomato base, such as: tomato paste or crushed tomatoes, sometimes both, and some form of loose dairy product, for instance: cream, sour cream, crème fraiche, smetana, milk and even filmjölk etc. In addition, flavoring with Dijon mustard or similar, and thickening with flour, can be done.
The dish is traditionally served with a base of rice, but alternatives such as pasta, boiled or fried or mashed potatoes, bulgur, quinoa or wheat berry etc., also occurs.
