Tuotesuos

The name "tuotesuos" translates to "product stew," reflecting its origins as a way to use up various ingredients that might otherwise go to waste. The dish is typically made with a base of potatoes, which are boiled and then mashed with butter, milk, and sometimes flour to create a creamy sauce. This sauce is then combined with a variety of other ingredients, which can include meats such as pork, beef, or chicken, as well as vegetables like carrots, onions, and peas. The stew is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes other spices like nutmeg or allspice. Tuotesuos is a hearty and comforting dish, often served as a main course and accompanied by bread or other side dishes. Its simplicity and versatility make it a popular choice for both everyday meals and special occasions. The dish has also gained international recognition, with many Finnish restaurants and home cooks around the world offering their own interpretations of tuotesuos.
