Kelavetoja

Kelavetoja is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "kelavetoja" translates to "potato stew" in English. The dish is typically prepared using potatoes as the primary ingredient, along with various other vegetables such as carrots, turnips, and onions. These vegetables are cooked together in a pot with water, sometimes with the addition of meat, such as pork or beef, for added flavor. The stew is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes herbs like dill or parsley. Kelavetoja is known for its hearty and comforting nature, making it a popular choice for cold winter days. It is often served with rye bread or boiled potatoes, and can be accompanied by a side of sour cream or butter. The dish is a reflection of Finnish culinary traditions and is enjoyed both at home and in restaurants across the country.
