Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound thick cut ham, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled (about 20 ounces) and coarsely grated
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling the klubb
- Brussels sprouts, for serving (see recipe below)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- Hot sauce, for serving (optional)
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 shallot, sliced
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add 1/2 cup of cubed ham. Let the ham boil (to flavor the water) while you make the klubb.
- To make the klubb: In a large mixing bowl, add the grated potatoes, egg and salt. Using a fork, mix well until thoroughly combined. Add 1 1/4 cups flour and mix well. Add up to ¼ cup more flour, a little at a time, until you get a thick, sticky dough that clumps together when pressed in your fist.
- Moisten your hands with water. Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop the potato mixture into your hand and press an indentation in the center. Place a piece of ham into the center and press the potato mixture around to enclose it. Roll into a loose ball and coat in the flour. Then roll into a nice round ball. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture. You’ll get about 8 to 10 klubb in all.
- Gently drop the klubb in the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the klubb cook for 2 minutes to firm up, then loosen them with a spatula if they seem to be sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cook the klubb for 35 to 45 minutes, until firm, shiny and floating at the top.
- When the klubb have about 15 minutes left on the timer, make the Brussels sprouts.
- When the klubb are done, drain and nestle directly into the Brussels sprouts, adding another drizzle of oil if the pan looks dry. Cook undisturbed for a couple more minutes to get some texture on the klubb. Add the butter, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and fully coat. Season with flaky salt and black pepper. Serve with hot sauce at the table, if desired.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook undisturbed for 6 to 8 minutes until deeply golden. Give them a toss and add the remaining ham, the shallot, a couple of good pinches of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the Brussels sprouts start to get tender, 6 to 8 more minutes.

Reviews
I only made the shallot/Brussels sprouts part of this and it was so delicious. The addition of grainy mustard was perfect. I had to cook longer than suggested, so next time, I’d cut the sprouts up smaller.
Absolutely delicious! Might be the best dumplings I have ever had. My Mom even liked it and does not eat Brussels sprouts but she sure did! Ham in water and in dumplings is
