Kertiauseisiin

Kertiauseisiin is a traditional Estonian dish that has been a staple in Estonian cuisine for centuries. The name "kertiauseisiin" translates to "potato and onion stew" in English. This hearty dish is typically prepared with potatoes, onions, and sometimes other vegetables like carrots or cabbage. The potatoes are usually peeled and cut into chunks, while the onions are finely chopped. The vegetables are then cooked together in a pot with water, salt, and sometimes a bit of butter or oil. The dish is often seasoned with herbs such as dill or parsley, and sometimes a pinch of black pepper is added for extra flavor. Kertiauseisiin is typically served as a side dish, accompanying main courses like grilled meats or fish. It is a comforting and nourishing dish that reflects the simplicity and wholesomeness of traditional Estonian cooking. The dish is often prepared during colder months when hearty stews are particularly welcome.
