Whale Meat Stew
Note: Whale meat is used to feed the indigenous people and it is a way of life here. Do not post anything negative on here. If you don’t like what you have read, then turn away.
Ingredients
1 – 1 1/2 pounds of Whale Meat
3 – 4 large potatoes (peeled and cut into medium sized squares)
3 – 4 large carrots (peeled and sliced )
1 medium onion (peeled and sliced)
2 shallots (peeled and sliced
1 cup sweet peas
1 cup green beans
1 cup corn
1 jar of sliced mushrooms
12 cups beef broth
Garlic seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter
Cut whale meat in medium sized pieces. Season whale meat with garlic seasoning and then flour lightly.
Braise cut up meat on both sides till lightly browned. Remove from pan.
Saute mushrooms, onion, shallots till onions are slightly translucent.
Pour a small amount of Sherry into the pan to deglaze. Pour all of the beef broth into the pot. Bring to boil. Add the Whale meat and carrots and potatoes to the broth. Bring back to boil. Turn down to medium heat and cook for about 30 minutes. Add all of the rest of the vegetables into the pot and continue to cook on a lower heat until the stew has thickened.
Once thickened serve in bowls with garlic bread or some other bread. My husband said it was tasty but different too. It was my first time making stew to begin with so it will probably take more than once to get it right.

My name is Katy and I have been living in South Greenland since August 2011. I was born in Charleston, South Carolina, raised in Florida, and migrated to South Greenland through marriage. I am married to an amazing Greenlandic man living 60º N - about 670 km south of the Arctic Circle.
I am a master gardener of 50 years. I started my love of ornamental gardening at the young age of 11. My paternal aunt gave me my first cutting and told me how to plant it. She also showed me some simple crochet stitches and sent me home with a cutting of coleus and a crochet hook with some yarn. At eleven it was like taking home a prize. Little did I know what would happen because of that. I learned how to sew my own clothing during my teenage years and that sewing has flowed over into me learning how to be a quilt maker. I love to take photographs of everything that catches my eye. I have thousands of photos. I am in love with icebergs. I don't think I will ever tire of seeing them and taking photos of them. The Greenland landscape is magnificent and it never disappoints. I also love to crochet as well as cook. I love making up my own recipes and serving them up to my "Heart Light" for test tasting. He is such a trooper. For the most part, he loves everything I've made.
I'm a summer tourist guide and love it when fellow Americans come to visit us so that I can tell them about Greenland and most of the time I always tell our story since it's so special.
I have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren. I have grown to love Greenland as much as I love my home country USA. Greenland is like no other place and I will write lots about it and share photographs as well. I also love music and movies as well and I like to read. I will also be sharing blogs about quilt-making and other subjects that I'm involved with.
