Course of Action

1. Turn on the oven to 225 Celcius. Rinse and cut the potatoes into cloves. Rinse and cut the turnip in 2cm big cubes. Place everything in a baking tray and put 1 table spoon of olive oil, a big pinch of thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the top of the oven for 25-30 min. Open the oven and stir every now and then.

2. Mix 1 table spoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of thyme, 1/2 table spoon of dijon mustard, 1/2 dl bread crums and 1/2 dl cream in a bowl. Put the minced elk in the bowl. Make sure it mixes well and make the the elk into 8 patties.

3. Heat up 1/2 table spoon of butter in a frying pan and fry 2 patties at a time, 3 min per side. Put the finished patties on a plate and cover them.

4. Rinse the cherry tomatoes, shred the carrot and cut the paprika into 1cm cubes. Mix everything together in a bowl.

5. Heat up a small pot with butter, when the butter is melting add 1 table spoon of flour, 1/2 table spoon of stock powder, 1/2dl of cream, 2 1/2 dl of water, 1 teaspoon of chinese soy and a pinch of white pepper.   Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
(I would recommend to do a double batch of this, just double all ingredients)

Serve with the roasted root crops and the elk meat balls.

A little twist on the classic Swedish dish.
