Happy Thursday!

Cloudy morning and very cold hete. August is very temperamental in Canada (or at least here in up north). One day hot, one day cold. It can be 28C today, but 5C tomorrow, for example. Always insane weather when Autumn wants to push through its way in 🫣😅🫣😅

Like yesterday, I dropped off my oldest to his Summer camp, wearing pants and jacket as it was chilly morning, although super sunny and with no clouds. Later on when I picked him up, I was with shorts and t-shirt 🤣 Can never make up my mind what to wear 🤣

So, for chilly day. Stew to the rescue!

1.5 kg Beef cubes
1 tsp Fennel seeds
1 tbsp Chicken bouillon powder
1 tsp Sweet paprika powder
1/2 c Flour
Peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
5 Garlic
1/2 large Onion

1 jar sauerkraut
1 L beef broth
1 tsp sweet paprika powder
2 beef cubes
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 c water
Dill (fresh would be best)

Water
Chicken bouillon powder
Sweet paprika powder
Flour

Sour cream
Sourdough bread

In a large bowl, mix beef cubes, flour, bouillon powder, sweet paprika powder, and fennel seeds. Fry to brown in enough peanut oil

Meanwhile, strain and rise a jar of sauerkraut, set aside. Slice thinly garlic and onion, set to side.

Take out beef from oil, set to side, and saute garlic and onion using the same grease in the pan. Stir in fennel and sweet paprika powder, followed with browned beef, sauerkraut, water, broth, and beef cubes, bring to boil.

Add in dill, to taste

Meanwhile, mix enough flour, 1/2 tsp each sweet paprika powder and chicken bouillon powder in enough water, for thickening the stew. Pour this mixture into the pan once beef is tender, stir to combine well

Serve stew with a dollop of sour cream and sourdough or French bread

Enjoy!
