Kalpeaksi

Kalpeaksi is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "kalpeaksi" translates to "fish stew" in English, reflecting its primary ingredient. The dish is typically made with white fish, such as cod or haddock, which are poached in a flavorful broth made from fish stock, onions, and spices. The fish is then removed and the broth is thickened with a roux made from flour and butter, creating a creamy and comforting base for the stew.

Kalpeaksi is often served with boiled potatoes, which are typically mashed and mixed with butter and milk. The potatoes are usually boiled separately and then mashed to create a smooth and creamy texture. The dish is typically garnished with fresh dill or parsley, which adds a pop of color and a refreshing flavor to the stew.

Kalpeaksi is a hearty and satisfying dish that is often served as a main course. It is a popular dish in Finland and is often served during the colder months of the year. The dish is also a popular choice for special occasions, such as holidays and family gatherings. Kalpeaksi is a classic Finnish dish that has been passed down through generations and continues to be a beloved dish in Finnish cuisine today.
