Suunades

Suunades is a traditional Estonian dish that has been a staple in the country's cuisine for centuries. The name "suunades" translates to "sweet and sour" in English, reflecting the dish's unique flavor profile. The dish is typically made with pork, although other meats such as beef or chicken can also be used. The meat is first marinated in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, and spices, which gives it a tangy and sweet flavor. After marinating, the meat is cooked in a pot with onions, carrots, and other vegetables, which are then simmered in the marinade until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together. The result is a hearty and flavorful stew that is often served with boiled potatoes or bread. Suunades is a popular dish in Estonia and is often served at family gatherings and special occasions. It is also a popular dish in the Estonian diaspora, with many Estonians living abroad continuing to prepare and enjoy suunades as a reminder of their cultural heritage.
