Kyyntä

Kyyntä is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. It is a hearty stew made from pork, potatoes, and onions, often served with rye bread. The dish is typically prepared by slow-cooking the pork with onions until it becomes tender, then adding potatoes and simmering until they are soft. The stew is then seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes other spices like bay leaves or dill. Kyyntä is often served with a side of pickled cucumbers and lingonberry jam. It is a comforting and nourishing dish that is enjoyed throughout Finland, particularly during the colder months. The dish is also popular in other Nordic countries, where it is known by similar names such as "kyndel" in Sweden and "kyndel" in Norway.
