Unglingsárum

Unglingsárum, also known as Unglingsar, is a traditional Icelandic dish that has gained popularity in recent years. The term "unglingsárum" translates to "youngling's stew," reflecting its origins as a hearty meal for young people, particularly students. The dish is a comforting and nourishing combination of potatoes, carrots, and sometimes other vegetables, cooked in a rich, creamy sauce made from milk, butter, and flour. The sauce is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes nutmeg, giving it a comforting and slightly sweet flavor. The dish is often served with a side of boiled eggs or pickled herring, and is a staple in Icelandic cuisine, particularly during the colder months. Its simplicity and hearty nature make it a popular choice for both traditional and modern Icelandic meals.
