Pussittomissa

Pussittomissa is a traditional Finnish dish that has been enjoyed for centuries, particularly during the Christmas season. The name "Pussittomissa" translates to "puss in the soup," referring to the small, round dumplings that are a key component of the dish. These dumplings are typically made from a simple dough of flour, water, and sometimes eggs, and are boiled until they float to the surface, indicating they are done.

The soup itself is a hearty and flavorful broth, often made with beef or pork, along with vegetables such as carrots, onions, and potatoes. The dumplings are then added to the soup, and the dish is typically served with a side of boiled potatoes and a dollop of sour cream or butter.

Pussittomissa is a comforting and satisfying dish, perfect for cold winter days. It is often served as a main course, but can also be enjoyed as a side dish. The dish is a staple in Finnish cuisine and is widely appreciated for its simplicity and delicious taste.
