This is one of my favorite meat dishes because it is so tasty and so simple to make. Choose lean but rather tough shoulder or leg cuts for their well developed flavor. Layered in an enameled cast iron pot and covered tightly, the meat and onions stew to tender succulence in about 5 hours, and are then spooned over mashed potatoes or a combination of mashed potatoes and rutabagas. This recipe makes a large amount, but you can freeze what is left over. Go to search for Scandinavian Mashed Potatoes and Rutabaga Casserole to serve with this meat ragout.
