Naulalle

Naulalle is a traditional Finnish dish that has been enjoyed by Finns for centuries. The name "naulalle" is derived from the Swedish word "nål" which means nail, referring to the small, round pieces of rye bread that are used as a base for the dish. The dish is typically made by layering these small bread pieces with a variety of fillings, such as smoked salmon, herring, pickled herring, cucumber, onion, and sometimes even boiled eggs. The layers are then topped with a creamy sauce made from sour cream, butter, and sometimes a touch of dill or chives. Naulalle is often served as a main course or as a side dish, and it is a popular choice for gatherings and celebrations. The dish is a testament to the Finnish tradition of using simple, local ingredients to create delicious and satisfying meals. Naulalle is also a versatile dish that can be adapted to suit different tastes and preferences, making it a beloved part of Finnish cuisine.
