Ansaitteita

Ansaitteita is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "Ansaitteita" translates to "little ears" in English, referring to the shape of the dish. It is a type of savory pastry that is typically filled with a mixture of ground pork, potatoes, and onions. The dough used to make Ansaitteita is made from flour, water, and sometimes eggs, and it is rolled out thinly before being cut into ear-shaped pieces. The filling is then placed into each piece of dough, and the edges are sealed to create a pocket. Ansaitteita is often served as a side dish or a main course, and it can be accompanied by various sauces or gravies. The dish is known for its hearty and comforting flavor, and it is a popular choice for both traditional Finnish meals and modern interpretations of Finnish cuisine.
