Swedish Sausage Stew over the Fire

Swedish sausage stew, or korv stroganoff as it is also called, is a classic of Swedish cooking. Juicy sausages in a creamy sauce with paprika and mustard make it rich comfort food that hits the spot after a day in the open.

What is Swedish sausage stew?

Swedish sausage stew typically consists of sliced sausages, onion, cream, tomato paste and spices such as paprika and dijon mustard. The dish is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or rice and is often topped with fresh herbs such as parsley or dill.

Tips for the trail

The dish is easy to adapt for a trip in the open. Choose sturdy sausages such as grilling sausages or chorizo, and swap the butter for olive oil. Feel free to prep the finely chopped onion, tomato paste and cream at home in small containers, so you save space and time on the ground. Heat the oil in a pot over the fire or camping stove, fry the onion and sausages, add the rest and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Then you have a warm, rich meal, even far out in nature.
