Danish Pork Stew from the childhood
I remember this dish from my childhood and growing up with this dish. It was, and still is, one of my all time favorite Danish dishes - I guess it is a combination of the fact that it is super easy to make and that it is very tasteful.
It only takes about 10 minutes to prepare all the ingredients, the rest of the cooking time the stew is just taking care of itself. Most of the time it is just sitting on the stove by itself and working on bringing forward some delicious taste.

Tasted all good however the measurement for the heavy cream is wrong! You have put 2.5dl as the amount for the heavy cream, however I cannot search on the internet the right meaning for it. Is it 2.5ml or 2.5L? It's not really clear on that- would like to hear back from you about this!

Hi. Thanks for your comment. You would need to add 2.5 dl (decilitre) of heavy cream. This is equal to about 1 cup of heavy cream. If you type "2.5 dl to cups" on google then you get the conversion. (2.5 dl = 250 ml = 0.25 l)
