Скачать или смотреть Viking boar stew - A reconstructed dish from Medieval Scandinavia

Medieval Scandinavian food is different from the more Southern European recipes at the time, despite existing trade contacts. We don’t have recipe books from here and have to rely on reconstructions from the archaeological record. Scandinavians ate barley, oats and other cereals (probably mostly as gruel), hazelnuts, apples, berries, honey, wild herbs, onions, cabbage, meat (pork, lamb, sheep), and fish (fresh or dried - but salt was imported). As for most people throughout the Middle Ages, the stew was the most common form of preparation: it is low in fuel consumption, easy to share equally, and filling. As a reconstructed dish I would propose a simple stew made from pork (the meat I am using here is domestic boar), wild herbs, dried apples and barley.

This video is the last part of a medieval feast of five dishes from different regions that I presented for the online culinary history conference “Past to Apron“. You can find the entire Medieval Feast video on my website at trullocicerone.com. Just click on “Historical recipe videos” and find all my food videos there.

You need: pork belly, lard, dried apples, pearl barley, salt, herbs of your choice

Have you heard of my historical cookbook yet? “GARUM - Recipes from the Past“ presents a range of dishes from ancient Mesopotamia until the Renaissance.
I am currently working on another historical cookbook - “From Eden to Jerusalem - Recipes from the Time of the Bible“.
