Fläskkarré

Fläskkarré is a cut of pork originating from the shoulder of the pig. In Swedish cuisine, it is a popular and versatile cut known for its marbling, which contributes to its tenderness and flavor when cooked. The term "karré" refers to the neck and shoulder area of the pig.

This cut is frequently used for a variety of dishes. It can be roasted whole, providing a succulent centerpiece for meals. Sliced into steaks, fläskkarré is often grilled or pan-fried, making it suitable for quick weeknight dinners. It is also commonly used in stews and braises, where its fat content helps to keep the meat moist and tender during slow cooking. The rich flavor of fläskkarré pairs well with a wide range of seasonings, from simple salt and pepper to more complex marinades and rubs. Common accompaniments in Swedish cooking include potatoes, root vegetables, and creamy sauces. Its adaptability makes it a staple in many Swedish households and restaurants.
