Benløse Fugle

Why this recipe is named 'Legless Birds' when there isn't any bird meat in the recipe is anyones guess. However, whatever the name this is a very tasty traditional Danish veal dish.

  • 25 ounces beef stock
  • 8 ounces of cream
  • Slice meat into thin steaks and flatten meat well.
  • Season meat with salt and pepper.
  • Cut bacon and carrots into long thin pieces, and place on top of meat with parsley mixed with garlic.
  • Roll meat into a long cigar shape with the carrot, bacon, parsley and garlic in the center, and tie with cooking string.
  • Roll meat rolls in flour and brown the meat and sliced onions on frying pan.
  • Add beef stock, tomato pure and thyme
