Kyckling med böngroddar

A chicken in a pot served with a sauce of mushrooms and bean sprouts is a ovely dinner for the family and guests, if you're having anyone over.

Serves 4

1 chicken, approx 2 lbs 9 oz
salt
1 oz butter or margarine
0.8 cup water

Sauce:
9 oz fresh mushrooms
2 carrots
1 leek
1 oz butter or margarine
2 tablespoons flour
pan juices from the chicken

Rinse and wipe off the chicken. Rub it with salt both inside and outside. Brown the fat in a frying pot and brown the chicken on all sides. Add water. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for about 1 hour until the chicken seems tender. Turn occasionally while cooking.

Trim and slice the mushrooms. Peel and roughly grate the carrots and trim and cut the leek in rings. Melt the fat in a pot and add all the vegetables. Stir and sauté for a few minutes. Sprinkle with flour and dilute with the pan juices from the chicken. Add cream and boil for about 5 minutes. Add bean sprouts and flavor to taste.

Cut the chicken in 4 parts or as many as you wish and put the meat on a deep serving plate. Pour the sauce on top. Serve with whole fried potatoes or boiled rice and a salad.

Enjoy!
