Kuottis
Kuottis is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "kuottis" comes from the Finnish word "kuotio," which means "cube." The dish consists of small, cube-shaped pieces of pork, typically from the shoulder or belly, which are boiled in a flavorful broth. The pork is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes other spices, and is boiled until tender. The broth is usually made from water, onions, carrots, and sometimes other vegetables, and is allowed to simmer until it becomes rich and flavorful. Kuottis is often served with boiled potatoes, rye bread, and sometimes a side of pickled cucumbers or other pickled vegetables. It is a hearty and comforting dish that is often enjoyed during the colder months of the year. Kuottis is a versatile dish that can be adapted to suit different tastes and preferences, and is a popular choice for both traditional Finnish meals and modern interpretations of Finnish cuisine.
