The name "kovimmat" translates to "the toughest" in Finnish, reflecting the dish's use of tough cuts of meat, typically beef or pork. The meat is slow-cooked in a flavorful broth, often with root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and potatoes, which help to tenderize the meat. The dish is typically served with boiled potatoes and a side of lingonberry jam or a sweet mustard sauce. Kovimmat is often associated with the Finnish winter, as it is a hearty and warming meal that is perfect for colder months. The dish is also a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations, as it is a comforting and satisfying meal that brings people together. Kovimmat is a testament to the Finnish ability to make the most of tough cuts of meat, creating a delicious and nourishing dish that has stood the test of time.
