Reostusallikad

Reostusallikad, also known as reostusallikad in Estonian, are a traditional Estonian dish that has gained popularity in recent years. The term "reostusallikad" translates to "roasted allikad," where "allikad" refers to the local variety of potatoes. This dish is a hearty and comforting meal, often served during the colder months.

The preparation of reostusallikad involves roasting the allikad potatoes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. The potatoes are typically cut into thick slices or wedges and seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of garlic or herbs. They are then roasted in the oven at a low temperature for several hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.

The dish is often served with a side of boiled or mashed potatoes, and sometimes accompanied by a simple green salad or pickled vegetables. Reostusallikad can also be paired with various meats, such as roasted pork or chicken, or enjoyed as a standalone dish.

The popularity of reostusallikad has been influenced by the growing interest in traditional Estonian cuisine and the desire to preserve and promote local culinary heritage. As a result, the dish has become a staple in many Estonian restaurants and is often featured in food festivals and cultural events.
