Teiksi

Teiksi is a traditional Finnish dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, typically including potatoes, carrots, and sometimes other root vegetables. The dish is often flavored with onions, garlic, and spices such as bay leaves and peppercorns. Meat, such as pork or beef, is commonly used, but it can also be made vegetarian with the addition of mushrooms or other plant-based proteins. The stew is typically cooked slowly over a long period, allowing the flavors to meld together and the ingredients to become tender. Teiksi is often served with a side of bread or a salad, and it is a popular dish for both everyday meals and special occasions. Its simplicity and hearty nature make it a staple in Finnish cuisine, reflecting the country's cold climate and the need for nourishing food.
