Last week's episode left Martin defeated and a little depressed, questioning his skills as a home cook. So today we decided he needed a chance to redeem himself.
Last week's episode:    • We challenged each other to a mystery...  

Norwegian cooking is often humble, simple dishes that stem from a country that, before the discovery of oil, used to be very poor. This shows in its traditional cooking like our meatballs being thinned out with water to stretch the ingredients to its fullest.

Every region and family has its own way of making this dish, but here's the recipe we decided to use:

Meatballs:
400g minced beef
2 large onions
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Nutmeg

Brown sauce:
Use the pan that you fried your meatballs in.
200g butter
2-3 tablespoons of wheat flour
1 L of stock
We used too little of the butter and the flout, which is why our sauce was very thin, adjust the ingredients to what you prefer.

Potatoes:
Peel them if you want and cook them until they can be pierced with little to no resistance.

Mashed Peas:
1-2 Cups per person.
Soak them in water for 12-24 hours in the fridge before you boil them.
Cook them for about 40-60 min.
Blend them in a food processor or immersion blender.
1 Tablespoon of butter.
Salt & Pepper to taste.
Add minced Herbs such as mint or parsley. (Optional)
