Seitamaksi
Seitamaksi is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in the country's cuisine for centuries. The name "seitamaksi" is derived from the Finnish words "seitä," meaning cheese, and "maksa," meaning liver. This dish is typically prepared using pork liver, which is seasoned with salt and pepper before being cooked in a pan with butter. The liver is then combined with a creamy cheese sauce, often made from a blend of cheeses such as Emmental or Gouda, and thickened with flour and milk. The dish is often served with boiled potatoes or boiled rice, and it is commonly enjoyed as a hearty meal or a side dish. Seitamaksi is known for its rich flavor and creamy texture, making it a popular choice among Finns. The dish is also a good source of protein and nutrients, as pork liver is rich in vitamins and minerals.
