Rühmadeni

Rühmadeni is a traditional dish from the region of Estonia, particularly popular in the northern parts of the country. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, carrots, onions, and a type of root vegetable known as "rühm". The dish is typically cooked in a large pot with plenty of water, allowing the vegetables to soften and become tender. The stew is often seasoned with salt and pepper, and sometimes a small amount of butter or cream is added for richness. Rühmadeni is often served with a side of rye bread, which complements the hearty stew. The dish is a staple in Estonian cuisine and is enjoyed during colder months when hearty, warming meals are preferred. It is a simple yet comforting dish that showcases the use of locally available ingredients.
