Dillkott
Also known as: Dillkött
Veal stew with a sweet-sour white dill and cultured-cream sauce.

About Dillkott
Arla describes dillkott as a Swedish classic in which veal becomes tender in a sweet-sour sauce. This version selects the source’s white sauce option, with all the chopped dill added before serving.
Vinegar spirit and sugar give the sauce its sweet-sour balance. Butter, wheat flour and cultured cream provide the creamy base, with dill supplying the characteristic herbal flavour.
The veal joins a smooth white sauce made with its strained cooking stock. Oven-roasted root vegetables are the selected optional accompaniment; the green blended-sauce alternative remains a separate version.
