Brennsnut

September 11, 2014 By Whitney Love 1 Comment

Brennsnut

All things considered, brennsnut is one of my favorite things to eat when my life gets busy, almost too busy to even cook a proper meal – especially in the long and cold months of fall and winter. What I simply adore about brennsnut is that it’s a hearty stew, guaranteed to warm you to your core, and it won’t hurt your wallet either. All of the ingredients are budget friendly and readily available in most supermarkets. This stew is packed full of root vegetables and meat in the form of cubed lamb meat, leftover meatballs and sausages. All of this goodness swims in a flavorful broth base.

If tradition stands true in your kitchen, this recipe should be made with homemade lamb stock and lamb meat. However, depending on your location, both of these ingredients may not be easily available in your area. I’ve found beef and chicken stock to be reasonable substitutes if lamb stock is unavailable. Extra meatballs or sausages are both a decent swap for the lamb meat.
